nVidia launched DX11 a full 6 months behind AMD's Radeon 5000 series and it's been playing catch-up ever since. Today we are looking at the GT430, the latest and lowest priced model in the new Fermi range. It will be nVidia's first Fermi fired into the huge sub-£100 market. Winning …

Last week we reviewed the XFX Pro Series 650W Power supply which proved to be a very capable Seasonic based product offering competitive pricing. Today we follow up with the second in our three part series and focus on the mid priced Pro Series 750W supply. All of the Pro …

If the emails we have been receiving for the last month have been anything to go by, the enthusiast gaming audience is warming to the thought of low cost multiple monitor configurations. We recently reviewed the mouth watering XFX HD5970 Black Edition Limited 4GB in CrossfireX, but as many people …

Corsair have been building on their success in the memory business, expanding into many other areas of tech in the past few years.  But they haven't done so in a half-hearted way – each new product they have launched has been class leading  like their  H70 watercooler which we reviewed …

Since the Apple iPad was released, the tablet sector has been a thriving hotbed of news and discussion. Market leaders such as Research In Motion, Samsung, Sharp are developing new tablets to target this lucrative market. On the ‘monochrome' side however, the battle has been just as intense and recently …

We don't know what has happened lately but many portable gaming machines from many of the big players seem to have more emphasis placed on the lighting effects, rather than the hardware inside. We are quite sure than a substantial portion of the enthusiast audience want something sleek in design, …

Unfortunately we weren't all born millionaires, because XFX would need to hire more staff so we could all run these beauties in CrossfireX. Today we bring you all right down to earth and focus on the competitive and highly lucrative £100 price point. Make no mistake, while we all drool …

Many people don't have enough room for a full-size PC and crave more performance than you can squeeze from a reasonably-priced laptop.  For these people, a mini-ITX system is very appropriate, compromising a few features for a much more compact system. Today we are going to look at the Intel …

Earlier this year Xigmatek released a couple of power supplies which didn't receive much coverage, but we really liked the whole ‘eco friendly' approach they were focusing on, heck they even shipped the unit in a box made from recycled materials. They have four supplies in this range, The PC402, …

A good power supply is probably the most important part of any system build, and while KitGuru have focused recently on some seriously high end units such as the Corsair AX1200 and the Enermax Revolution 85+ 1020W, not everyone can afford these (or needs them in the first place). Today …

Most of us use a USB pen drive on some level or another, whether it is to keep offline document backups or to move files between work and home machines. Today we are looking at the new Kingston Data Traveler Ultimate 64GB drive which is the first USB 3.0 pen …

Over the past few months, we've seen several strange things that, alone, probably don't mean anything but, together, might suggest that a very interesting part is about to hit the market. Will nVidia attack the more powerful Radeon cards with a dual chip GTS450 solution? KitGuru dons night vision specs …

With the launch of the GTS450, those with around £100 ($150) to spend on a new graphics card are in for a treat. Not only is the new nVidia product exciting on paper but we are also seeing some price movement from AMD that's going to make the whole market …

If you share our mindset, then no matter what cooling you have, it will never be enough. With graphics cards getting faster and hotter all the time, manufacturers are releasing third party coolers on a regular basis … these offer lower running temperatures and reduced noise levels. If you are …

Kitguru spends a lot of time looking at mid and  full-tower cases such as the Bitfenix Colossus but don't often get the chance to review more compact cases. Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX systems are favoured by many as they take up a lot less space than their full-size counterparts whilst retaining …

With the GTS450 ready to launch on Monday, AMD's price boffins have pulled out the graph paper and slide rules (we're thinking of you Matt) to determine what needs to be done in order to maintain its share of the DX11 pie. KitGuru gets splattered as the new prices get …

Arctic Cooling's MX-3 thermal paste is currently one of the best on the market and is favoured by many enthusiasts as it performs very well and is non-conductive.  In fact, KitGuru uses MX-3 to test most of the CPU coolers that pass through our labs. Despite the numerous upsides of …

While we have often focused on small capacity Solid State Drives today we thought it would be interesting to have a look at the 512GB SSDNowV+ Kingston drive aimed at the enthusiast audience with specific demands for the highest levels of storage capacity. Kingston Technology were one of the first …

KitGuru has some of the best prizes on the net, bar none. We have given away thousands of pounds of hardware in our short time opening and today we have something REALLY special that be pride of place in your bedroom. The stunning Thermaltake Level 10 Case designed by BMW. …

Every enthusiast knows the Revolution 85+ series of Power Supplies from Enermax, they have been winning awards across the globe for many years. With a lethal combination of performance and efficiency the original 1250W Revolution 85+ powered many of our high end review systems across a 2 year time period. …

At KitGuru we spend a lot of our time playing with high end hardware, and it can be disheartening for many readers. In the cold hard ‘real world' not everyone can afford a Core i7 980X with SLI'd GTX480's and to be honest, for most people this is totally overkill …

Here at KitGuru we understand that many of our readers won't be running the latest and greatest tech in their system yet will still be interested in squeezing every ounce of performance out of their components.  So we shall be looking at how we can improve a low-end graphics card …

KitGurus across the globe will be familiar with Arctic Cooling, a company renowned for producing some of the best cooling accessories on the market.  Earlier this year, they rebranded themselves to ‘Arctic' to reflect their growing range of non-cooling products. Today we are going to look at the Arctic Sound …

At KitGuru we review a plethora of different products but it's not often that we look at things like optical drives which are reasonably homogeneous in design and don't differ greatly in terms of performance. Today we are going to look at LiteOn's latest external DVD/CD writer, the eTAU108, which …

A short while ago we reviewed Corsair's top of the line AX1200 PSU and it walked away with a score of 9.5/10 and our top award. It earned this by delivering record breaking efficiency (93%) with an incredibly potent and ultimately stable power delivery. The only downside with this unit …

With the ever growing market for home networking, it makes sense that companies create media players that can replace the common PC for viewing pictures, playing video content and streaming files from NAS systems. Kitguru recently looked several of these devices from Dutch company A.C Ryan and we felt that …

nVidia's GTX460 is without a doubt the strongest card in their current lineup, the pricing is right and the performance has surprised more than a few naysayers. Even though the reference performance is excellent this hasn't stopped manufacturers from releasing their own modded boards and KitGuru recently reviewed the MSI …

The PC chassis market now is inundated with models from a plethora of manufacturers, so it gets harder and harder for a design to get noticed, especially by the demanding enthusiast audience. The size has to be right, the airflow has to good enough to cool the latest hot running …

KitGuru recently looked at a high quality Urbano 13 inch protective case for the Apple 13 inch MacBook. Today we are following up with a look at one of the most luxurious cases available for the flagsship 17 inch MacBook Pro. The beautiful ‘Leather Window Case' made out of genuine …
