Week in Reviews

Last year on the About PC Hardware / Reviews site, I would post several times a week an entry entitled "Net Reviews". I stopped this during the month of December because my time was filled with getting product reviews and updates done for the holiday shopping season. With 2006, I'm going to be retarting my posts but in a different format.

Today marks my first entry entitled "Week in Reviews". What I intend to do is collect various reviews from around the Internet of computers and PC parts and compile them into a single entry posted every Friday. This means the lists will be longer than usual, but I prefer the consolidated format.

With CES this week and the focus for product announcements, the list of reviews is fairly short. There was a fairly large number of articles on PC cooling products. So read on to find out what was reviewed across the Net.
