After a month long hiatus (due to my first few weeks of college being a bit rough), we're back to give away more free stuff, forums related as usual. And just in time, because November 7th marks our two year anniversary! This will also be the day when we give out our first prize. The rules this month are almost identical to those of the previous ones (with the exception of the first week), but please do glance them over. Failure to do so may result in your prize going to someone else (if you win, that is).

At first you would think the box contains a case but in fact it's really just the fact that the CD Organizer is really big (but light). It is nearly as tall as my case but looks much better :) Along with the CD Organizer there is a setup manual/diagram, cd installation, USB cable and power adapter. Very easy to setup the hardware just a matter of finding a spot to put it.

I've had about three months to thoroughly test the Iceberg 1 water cooler. Is this cooler really all it's "cracked" up to be? Let me begin by saying all of the parts had being working flawlessly, up until a few weeks ago. I had been testing the DangerDen water cooling kit and I had this Iceberg 1 water cooler aside until I was done testing the DangerDen. Well, I woke up the next morning, after testing the night before, to find that the Iceberg 1 reservoir was only half full of water!

In any method of cooling you need a form of fluid to rush past the CPU to take the heat with it (convection cooling). With most computers the fluid is air blown by a fan over the heatsink. In those more adventurous overclockers looking for a reduction in temperatures, more speed or less heat water is used. This is more of a technical challenge since, as we all know, water and electricity don’t get along. For the most insane/rich/hardcore (delete as you see fit) overclockers out there there is Phase Change. Based on the same technology that keeps your milk cold in your fridge, it is capable of producing temperature well blow zero.

Given the heavy opaque nature of the product, we wanted to double check that this wasn't merely a soap plating. To check this, we brought our Dremel out. Following a partial dissection, we validated the reports that this was solid soap rather than soap plating.

Vinyl dye is a type of paint that is used primarily on plastics. The theory is that the dye is thin enough to seep into the plastic and color it, rather than covering over its surface. The benefits of this are that it won't chip, scratch, or peel. It also means that you do not need to sand, or to use a primer. This is because you are staining the plastic, rather than hiding it.
