Here are a few unique systems to make sure to check out on store shelves.”
Smooth Creations Hellcat Core i7 965 EE Gaming System
Tweak Town :: Monday, November 17, 2008
“The mad scientists at Smooth Creations took Core i7 to a new level, one that only a few will try to achieve and even fewer will succeed. The Smooth Creations Hellcat comes from the factory clocked at an amazing 4.0 GHz, yet doesn’t have a problem with stability thanks to a who’s who list of Danger Den products. The madness doesn’t stop there; the dual 4870 X2 cards running in CrossfireX mode are water cooled as well and we can thank Danger Den for that. But the real congratulations go to Smooth Creations for putting together such a beast and having it ready for launch day. Don’t call this just another liquid cooled system; the Hellcat is lubricated on the fat of unbaptized children.
As you already know, today is the day Core i7 and its counterpart, X58 get released into the market. Core i7 is already a big hit with enthusiasts even though so few already have a system. I have been told by some of the shops who accepted preorders that Core i7 parts are the hottest ticket in town and they expect to sell quite a few units today. One way to ensure an early i7 system is to go with a custom system builder.”
OCZ Neural Impulse Actuator Review
Hardware Secrets :: Monday, November 17, 2008
“Neural implants have always been a cyberpunk fiction staple. They either grant the user special abilities or turn them into near cyborgs. We’re not there yet, but for what is worth OCZ is trying to make that future a little less distant (and fictional) with the Neural Impulse Actuator, or NIA for short. It’s a control system that interprets your brain waves and tracks facial muscle tensions into game input, making it possible to control by thought the actions of a virtual gunman during a game of Counterstrike, for instance. The idea behind the concept is to increase reaction time up to 60% by eliminating the time it takes the command from your brain to reach the hand over the mouse. We are about to see if it delivers, but first let’s take a look onto the device itself.”

TuneClone Audio Converter Software
Dragonsteel Mods :: Wednesday, November 12, 2008
iTunes has invaded pretty much all musical use on the computer anymore, people who don’t really know much about computers hear about iTunes and assume that’s what they’re supposed to use for their music on their computers. Case in point, a friend of mine does not own an iPod, but yet he and his girlfriend used iTunes to transfer all of his music over to his computer and it’s kinda stuck there now. Well he’ll be the first to admit that he really doesn’t know much about computers at all, so seeing as iTunes was so popular that’s what they decided to use for his music, of course they didn’t ask me anything at all. They transferred over many, many songs, and of course his mp3 player, a Sandisk, can’t play them so he was stuck with what to do next. So he called me for help, mind you though, most of his music isn’t copy protected/copy righted etc, he’s actually a world renowned Waltz or Ballroom Dance instructor, so he’s got tons of music he uses for that kind of stuff, and once they spent the hours to put it in his computer via iTunes he was basically stuck, it was either re-do it all through another program, buy an iPod or figure out another way to get his music to his Sandisk player converted to Mp3 format. So there are a few free versions out there that will help my friend out, but I needed something that was easy to use, very easy to use and I found TuneClone, which is very easy to use so that’s what I’ve got for review today. TuneClone is a program to convert you iTunes or other music services music over to mp3 format, quickly and easily. It essentially creates a virtual CDRW drive on your computer and virtually burns the CD from the main program, iTunes of other and then TuneClone automatically rips it to mp3 format for you, so in a few easy steps you’ve got music that is easily transferred and played on any device. So read on to check it out….
