SF-531P 6-in-1 Laser MFP
|
|
Envy news have taken the wraps off their review of Samsung's
SF-531P. The technology has come a long way but the lack
of a colour scanning function seems a strange decision.
|
|
These multiple function devices took center stage a few
years ago for the SOHO or small-office home-office marketplace.
As with any device, improvements are always found, and
such was born the new 6-in-1 MFP. This included the ability
to make photocopies of documents a simple addition
since the MFP can already fax and scan and print; photocopying
is just a logical evolution. And heck, it can fax, so
lets include a fully-functioning telephone with
speed-dials.

VIA Eden M-Series (for Home Theater)
|
|
VIA's EPIA-M series Eden board is a more comprehensively
features version of their original EPIA platform. This
is one area where less is certainly more! Digit-life are
on the case.
|
|
Although we can't avoid comparing the old and new versions
of the platform, remember that they have a bit different
fields of application, that is why the prices should be
accounted for in the last turn. While the first line is
simply EPIA (Eden Thin Client Platform) and it's meant
for simple applications, the EPIA-M series is for tougher
computational tasks and, in the first turn, for video.
What allows such systems to play video considering that
the EPIA-5000 did it awfully?

Easily and Safely Installing a Motherboard
|
|
Remember how it felt to be a newb? ExtremeTech do and
they've put together an informative motherboard installation
article just for the less experienced aspiring PC builder.
|
|
Motherboards used to be a pain in the derriere to install.
A typical motherboard had zillions of jumper settings
for different CPU clocks, frontside bus speeds, floating
point coprocessors and memory module sizes. That time
passed long ago, as chronology of technology is measured.
Today's motherboards are more complex than ever, in terms
of features sets, but are easier to install and simpler
to set up than ever before.

Abit NF7-S Motherboard (Socket 462) Video Review
|
|
Join 3dGameMan as he puts the squeeze on Abit's NF7-S
Nforce2 motherboard. The addition of S-ATA will surely
go down well despite its limited usefulness at the moment.
|
|
"The Abit NF7-S Motherboard is based on nForce2
chipset which delivers bandwidth speeds up to and beyond
333MHz. This board sports onboard 5.1 Channel Audio, USB2,
LAN and RAID Serial ATA. It's stable, performs well and
is great at overclocking. Watch the Video to find out
more..." ~3dGameMan.com

Thermaltake 80mm Copper Fan Grill & Copper RAMsink
Review
|
|
OCIA has posted their review on the Thermaltake 80mm Copper
Fan Grills & Copper RAMsink.
|
|
The grills come in two styles; a honeycomb style and
a Mountain/Volcano sun scene. I liked the Mountain scene
so I put it on my Thermaltake Volcano 9 Heat Sink. It
looked good and was easily done by just changing out 4
screws. The copper grill really works well with the dark
orange coloration on the Thermaltake Smart Fan.
