Now, you are probably still wondering, how the heck does it light up? Well, if you look at the picture above closely, you will see that there is one of those EL light wires entwined around the cable, and this is what does the lighting! It gives a very nice effect, which you will be able to see below with the installed pictures.

Another feature I found useful was the fan adjustment. There are two manual settings that adjust the RPMs of the three power supply fans. The manual settings definitely had an effect on the power supply. While there was not a huge increase in noise on the manual settings, there was an increase in airflow that was noticeable as my hand was placed over the exhaust fan. I chose to keep my fan on the automatic settings. I think it is more efficient to let the power supply adjust the fan rpms in relation to temperature.

Near the top of the Reservoir is an 8mm Stainless steel compression fitting that attaches to the return line. [Due to the nature of the 8mm fittings, thin walled 8mm tubing is required although I’m sure a modification could be made for larger hoses] By the base of the tank in the side wall is a larger opening with two O rings inside. These O rings seal water tight to intake shaft on either the Ehiem 1046 or 1048 pumps. Note: I found that smearing a drop of dish soap on the impeller housing made it much easier to slide the reservoir in place, just make sure to rinse it off afterwards. The reservoir is filled at the top and is sealed watertight by a large plastic cap which screws tightly against an O ring.

Mice, Keyboards, Printers, Cameras, Network Cards, CD and DVD, even Hard Drives, it seams like anything and everything now days has either a USB or Firewire/1394 connection. With the transfer rates for FireWire/1394 (400Mbps) and USB 2.0 (480Mbps) as well as the ability to add 127 USB or 63 FireWire devices, who can blame the industry for moving to such technology? Whether you are like me and using an older motherboard that doesn't have USB 2.0 or Firewire/1394 support, or if you are just looking to add a few extra ports to your PC, the Koutech 7002 6-Port controller is a nice solution.

Today we are going to look at the latest graphics cooler from Thermaltake. This cooler is very similar to the GeForce 4 Highest Performance Cooler that we reviewed before. The only real difference is that this cooler has a blue LED that has been mounted on to the clear plastic that covers part of the heat sink.
