Patriot pulled the wraps off its Pyro 120GB solid state drive yesterday, and we picked up another pair of reviews on the SandForce SF-2281-based drive in our roundup today. Not everyone can upgrade their motherboard in order to take advantage of new technologies like USB 3.0; fortunately there are alternatives such as the SilverStone EC03 USB 3.0 PCIe add-on card. If you're looking for a decent budget-priced home for your rig, you should check out the Bitfenix Shinobi mid-tower case. Today's roundup also has reviews covering a Zalman VGA cooler, the ASUS Rampage III Black Edition motherboard, a wireless N router from TP-LINK and more.
