Hardware Reviews

    I know there's a bazillion web sites out there that do hardware reviews. Some sites specialize, and primarily review power supplies (www.jonnyguru.com), or they mainly review computer cooling products (www.frostytech.com), but the majority review all sorts of hardware including cases, hard drives, USB devices, etc. Major Geeks frequently has a link on the front page to the reviews list over at www.ntcompatible.com, and I check the list religiously. Now, the point of this lengthy and probably boring thread is that on "slow" days (like today), there is no review list at NTcompatible, but I know there are may other web sites out there that compile their own lists of reviews and they provide links to these reviews. So, what I'm looking for is some links to some of these site that post lists of reviews from all around the web. I know that BigBruin and bjorn3d have these lists, I know TweakTown has a daily 'roundup' list, etc... so if anyone has a link or two to a site that posts daily updated lists with links to hardware reviews from all over, please feel free to post.

    Thanks!

    And best wishes for the New Year! :wine

    SWEET!!! Thanks a bunch. Since I work in PC shop, I feel obligated to be informed about all the newest and latest and greatest hardware, and these 'review roundup lists' are very helpful!

    Thanks again, and have a very happy New Year!!! :drink

    Some of mine:

    http://www.guru3d.com/ (for Video Cards)
    http://i4memory.com/ (RAM and high end OC)
    http://www.xtremesystems.org/ (Very high end discussions, they break stuff here and find the true limits)
    http://vr-zone.com/ (I haven't been here for a while but used to provide solid info)
    Madshrimps (links and or servers are down but they used o be very good as well)
    http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/ (also links and undertakes reviews and seem very solid)

    I agree sometimes specific sites are best for specific hardware and have several for that purpose alone. Hope this helps during the quite periods.

    @ Bold Eagle: I'm already familiar with guru3d, Madshrimps, and HardwareCanucks (those whacky Canadians LOL ), but the others are new to me. I'll be sure to check 'em out. Thanks!

    @ Halo: I've finally had a little time to go through some of the links you provided, and I agree, Hexus IS an excellent site, and I really like Techgage too. Good stuff! I was already familiar with HardOCP (also good stuff), and Toms, and Anandtech too, but had kind of forgotten about Anandtech, so thanks for the reminder.

    @ anyone else: keep the links coming! And thanks to all, and have a safe and very happy New Year! :wine
