3DVelocity
are looking for a couple of new team members. If you're
technically "in the know", have a solid writing
style, a sense of humour and a gift for digging out the
facts that normally go unnoticed we have a place for you
right here. Just drop me a line and we'll talk over the
finer details then.

Professional
3D Accelerators in SPECviewperf: September 2002
|
|
Digit-life
home in on the big boys' toys as they examine the NVIDIA
Quadro DCC, NVIDIA Quadro 4 500 XGL, NVIDIA Quadro 4 700
XGL, NVIDIA Quadro 4 750 XGL, NVIDIA Quadro 4 900 XGL,
ATI FireGL 2, ATI FireGL 8800, ATI FireGL 8700, 3Dlabs
Wildcat VP870 and Matrox Parhelia using SPECviewperf.
|
|
The objective of the today's test is to study scalability
of the professional accelerators. Secondly, we will find
out what platform suits better for professional use. Finally,
we will show how important an appropriate approach is
when assembling a computer meant for CAD/DCC applications.

Clear
Case Kit - Review & Tropical Fish Mod
|
|
Systemcooling
check out a clear case from the guys at Plycon then take
it a step further with a very effective lit engraving
tropical fish mod.
|
|
This case falls into none of those categories. It creates
its own category, which I can only describe as fun. So,
let's get down to the fun stuff. The case comes in a brown
box, which measures 19" x 18" x 4". Everything
is very neatly packed, right down to the white Michael
Jackson gloves that will help you keep those nasty oily
finger prints off the case.

Sound Card Controlled CCFL Kit Review
|
|
If
you're looking for something a little different to go
with that new side window mod how about some sound card
activated CCFL action? Virtual-Hideout have more.
|
|
Sound sensitivity in neons and cold cathodes has been
around in the modding scene since they were first introduced
to us modders a couple years ago. However, now sound activated
cold cathodes are taking a turn from before responding
to ambient sound to now with this product from Directron
responding to the sound output of your sound card! This
is not your every day cold cathode light kit...

Thermaltake
Xaser II 5000 Plus Case
|
|
TobiTech
review a very sweet looking case from Thermaltake and
built around the ever popular Antec/Chieftec. Not the
greatest ever translation but you'll get a feel for what
they're saying.
|
|
The innovations lie in design and equipment, the front
door stings immediately in the eye. Remarkably is the
Hardcano with LCD display, ventilator control, two USB-and
a Firewire connection.

Hercules
3D Prophet 8500 128MB Video Card
|
|
PCReviewSpot
has published their Hercules 3D Prophet 8500 128MB Video
Card Review! Be sure to check out this blue-boarded, ram-sink
equiped card! I think they might have slightly over-simplified
the Hercules/NVIDIA affair though.
|
|
Hercules has always been regarded as a very high-performance
video card manufacturer. They have always produced high-quality,
cool looking, and very overclockable video cards around
Nvidia's chipsets. wait a second, if Hercules builds video
cards around Nvidia chipsets, then why do we have a Hercules
3D Prophet 8500 128MB for review today? Well, the answer
lies within some poor relationships when the PowerRV Kyro
II was first introduced. Hercules decided to produce Kyro
II video cards, and Nvidia decided not to sent Hercules
any more chipsets. Wow, that's harsh.
