Antec Performance Plus 1080AMG Case
|
|
Techconnect give us their thoughts on the excellent Antec
Performance Plus 1080AMG case.
|
|
Antec has backed up with a very good case that wants
to offer as much as a computer case can offer. The 1080AMG
case includes a TruePower 430Watt PSU, three Antec smart-fans,
front USBs and FireWire, a dust filter, 2 extra LEDs and
a brand new metallic color; and this at a not too spicy
price - USD150. If this case would be made out of aluminum
then nothing else would worth over it.

Asus P4GE (i845GE) Motherboard Review
|
|
Digital-Daily have whacked up their thoughts on the ASUS
P4GE i845GE motherboard.
|
|
The specifications for this chipset fully coincide with
those for i845PE. As a result, there is no difference
between boards based on the PE and GE chipset; the only
thing that makes them differ is that GE boards have integrated
video.

Tt Aquarius II Water Cooler Kit Review
|
|
The Overclocker Café has just posted up their review
of Thermaltakes first water cooled kit. Water Cooling
offers many advantages over air cooling processors but
Tt seems to be focusing mainly on the decreased noise.
|
|
This is by far the smallest water pump I have seen used
in PC water-cooling kits. Moving 23.8 GPH, which is roughly
the equivalent amount of water moved by flushing the average
American toilet fifteen times. Superficially, this seems
like a lot but most water cooler systems use either the
Eheim pump or something very close to it. The Eheim pump
moves roughly 158 GPH; which is six times that of the
Tt pump.

PC Toys DDR Maxx Heat Spreaders Review
|
|
OCIA has posted their review on some PC Toys DDR Maxx
Heat Spreaders. Here's some snippage.
|
|
RAM heat spreaders... everyone has their own opinion
on this subject. Some feel they are a waste of money;
only adding to the aesthetics of your system and doing
absolutely nothing at all in the cooling department. Others
swear by these heat spreaders, reporting an increase in
stability and often times an increase in overclocking
ability. Today we look at two DDR heat spreaders from
PC Toys in hopes of finding out once and for all the truth
behind RAM heat spreaders.

TherMagic CPU Cooling System
|
|
TweakTown are testing out Evergreen's TherMagic self contained
water cooling kit. If you're looking for a quick, fuss
free introduction to the joys of water cooling this could
be it!
|
|
With processors continuing to gain in speed and power,
heat issues are requiring more consideration whether you
choose Intel or AMD. To maintain an acceptable level of
cooling, many people have turned to alternative cooling
methods. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at one
such method, the fully enclosed TherMagic CPU Cooling
System; or CCS for short. Let's see if it has what it
takes to handle the load.

EnhanceTech Mini Portable Disk Review
|
|
GideonTech has the MPD unit up on the bench. Ideal for
the person on the go that needs the smallest physical
drive size available.
|
|
This MPD comes with a lithium-ion battery to power the
disk without using the power from the FireWire cable.
This helps a lot, especially when you are on the road.
