Crucial
Radeon 9700 Pro 8XAGP Videocard Review
|
|
After
shooting themselves in the foot with their memory speed
crippled Radeon 8500 have Crucial put things right with
their 9700 Pro? PCstats know and they're ready to share!
|
|
Unlike the Radeon 8500LE which was a good choice for
value oriented users, Crucial is targeting high-end gamers
with their Radeon 9700 Pro, which retails for about $369USD.
To top things off, anyone who has bought memory from Crucial
knows they have an excellent level of service and support!

MSI
KT3 Ultra2-R KT333
|
|
No
folks, the KT333 is not a dead chipset. It can still provide
plenty of juice, and it is a rock solid technology. As
usual, MSI packs a lot of bang for the buck, ViperLair
take a look at their newest KT333
|
|
Previously, the KT3 wasn't able to hit 150FSB, but now
we got as high as 154. I did manage to get up to 165FSB,
but that meant lowering the multiplier down to 7. Honestly,
I'm not convinced the lower multiplier trade-off is worth
it, but that's up to you to decide.

Tt Hardcano 2 Review
Today I have a nifty device from Thermaltake called the
Hardcano 2. Don't ask me what "Hardcano" means,
but my best guess is that it's a cross between "hardcore"
and "volcano". As for the "Tt Boy"
on the package...I don't even want to go there... The
strange name or the odd little boy might be a bit distracting,
but the Hardcano 2 looks to be a very useful device that
I've been wanting to try out for quite some time. Thanks
to TheCardCooler.com, I now have one to try out! Check
out the Hardcano 2 here on ClubOC!

PCToys 80mm Crystal LED Case Fan Review
How many times have you had a fan go bad only to go ahead
and replace it with another boring part. Very seldom do
we consider that fans have potential when it comes to
case modifications. Cold cathodes, clear lexan windows,
aluminum cases, rounded cables... These are most of the
accessories that we throw into our system to either look
good at the next LAN or to just take a little pride in
our self-built contraption. When it comes to fans, very
seldom do we think how much they can be improved cosmetically,
but then again if you're a true tweaker like myself, you'll
always take that in like a grain of salt... Constantly
tweaking our systems takes on a new meaning when it comes
to the little things we can focus on, and a glowing fan
is just the ticket to making my system better. Today ClubOC
takes a look at a new-old idea. Combining functionality
of a fan with a cosmetic touch of blue. Check out the
Blue LED Case Fan here on ClubOC!

Meblin's
Mods' IR PC Remote Control Review
|
|
PCReviewSpot
have reviewed an Infrared PC Remote built by Meblin at
Meblin's mods. You can use the remote for many things,
including: volume control, dvd play control, winamp along
with many other things.
|
|
Do you have a DVD drive on your computer? Tv-out? Perhaps
even....speakers (gasp!)? These days most people can answer
yes to these questions, I know I can. Most people have
probably at one point or another, wondered why they don't
just use their PC to control everything (stereo, dvd,
tv, etc). You probably came up with several reasons, but
one of them being that you had no remote to control them
with, and didn't want to get up every minute to adjust
the volume, change channels, tracks, or what not. Well,
today we are going to solve that problem with the Infra-Red
(IR) PC Remote from Meblin's Mods.

ABIT
SR7-8X Motherboard (Socket 478) Video Review
|
|
3dGameMan
do the SiS 648 powered Abit SR7-8X. With reports of a
bad initial chipset revision the SiS 648 hasn't had the
strongest of starts.
|
|
"The ABIT SR7-8X motherboard is one of the first
AGP 8X products on the market sporting the SiS 648 chipset.
This product has onboard audio, LAN and USB2 support at
a fantastic price. Also, it's an excellent product for
stability and performance; however, hardcore overclockers
might be left wanting more! Watch the Video to find out
more..." ~3dGameMan.com.
