“Zalman is a recognized leader in the PC industry for their line of innovative noise prevention cooling products. Today we are taking an in-depth look at Zalman’s latest fan less video card cooler, the ZM80C-HP.

Zalman also offers a silent fan option that can be attached to the ZM80C-HP for addition cooling.”

Tyan Tachyon G9600Pro review
OCAddiction :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The most interesting software included here is by far the Tyan Graphics Monitor. A tweakers dream, the Graphics Monitor let’s you monitor your VPU temperature as well as adjust the fan speed RPM’s manually, or initiate automatic temperature control. A very nice feature for a mid-range video card and easily one of the features of the G9600Pro that set this card a notch above the rest. “

ABIT Siluro FX5900 OTES 128MB Video Card Video Review #341
3dgameman :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“This product is currently one of the fastest Video Cards on the planet. It has excellent 3D quality and performance that will support all the current and upcoming games. With its massive heatsink in accordance with the OTES means this card overclocks very well. Also, 2D quality is great and does offer dual display. Watch the Video to find out more…”

Enermax CS-517LBFS-B+ Mid-Tower Case
SystemCooling :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Today, we’ll look at the very interesting Enermax CS-517LBFS-B+ steel (front bezel manufactured of aluminum) Mid-Tower case. I say interesting, because it has the glossiest automotive type finish I’ve seen on any case, plus a slew of innovative and downright cool features, not to mention the low suggested retail price of around $ 80.00 US, and that includes a power supply.”

Cremax Icy Dock MB911-APGF and MB912-AP Mobile Hard Drive Racks
Tech-Dreams :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“When my hard drive in my rack-mounted router wouldn’t allow me to update the OS on it properly, I ended up having to replace it. Believe me, I was much happier to merely take the hard drive out in the rack, instead of having to pull the entire case out of my rack to replace it. While having a 100mbit network is nice, but if you need to transfer 20gigs worth of little files, then having both of the hard drives in a single computer is unbelievably faster. Having those hard drives in a rack makes changing what computers those hard drives are in unbelievably faster also. If you can get it done and have it look good also, then that’s even more perks!”

Cooler Master Cool Drive 3
GruntvillE :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The CoolDrive 3 is an attractive unit. The top of the unit has CoolDrive 3 written across it. The CoolDrive 3’s casing is aluminum with edges that are similar to the grooves of a heatsink. Most users will install the CoolDrive 3 and never see the top of the unit again. I think it would look really great to have a PC case with a window mod where the CoolDrive 3 would be visible in the top bay.”

Zalman CNPS7000A-CU Heatsink
PimpRig :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The Zalman makes the SK6 look like a Happy Meal toy next to it. The heatsink is 109mm across and 62mm high, the biggest I’ve ever seen. The 92mm fan in the center is rated for up to 2400RPM but I haven’t been able to find any CFM numbers. Given the specs it should produce between 35 and 40 CFM.”

Antec LANBoy
Nexus Hardware :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Antec has been catering to the enthusiast for a long time. Many of their products have been a huge hit, including their “True” series of power supplies (True Control included), and their SX1040B case is likely the most widely replicated case anywhere. Today we have an Antec case that caters to an entirely different genre of computer enthusiasts: LAN-goers. To fit this sect of computer enthusiasts, Antec has created the LANBoy aluminum case.”

VisionTek Xtasy 9800 Pro 128MB Review
Bjorn3D :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“In this review, I will compare the Xtasy 9800 Pro to the recently reviewed MSI GeForce FX 5900, which both have 128MB DDR. For testing, I used the following benchmarks and games: Futuremark’s 3DMark2001 SE – Build 330, 3DMark2003 – Build 330, Codecreatures Benchmark Pro, Unreal Tournament 2003, Gun Metal, Papyrus’ NASCAR 2003 and C&C Generals. In all tests, performance is set to “Quality” to create the best image quality.”

Beginners Guides: Firewalls and Internet Security
PCStats :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“When you use the Internet there are dangers around every corner. Viruses, malicious users, Trojan horses, Oh my! If these are just concepts to you, you are either lucky or well protected (or just un-connected). If these names trigger painful flashbacks to when your computer (and possibly your account balance) was rendered inoperable or compromised by one of the above, then join the club. Either way, securing your computer against threats from the Internet is an essential step. If you do not, you will, at some point, regret it. Guaranteed. This article is intended to provide some basic guidelines for securing your computer, and to give the reader a better understanding of how some of these technologies work. It is intended primarily for users of high-speed Internet connections, but most of the article is applicable to dial-up Internet users also.As far as the home or small business user is concerned, Internet security can be broken down into three areas; Anti-virus software, Firewall protection and Recommended practices/Common sense. To deal with the last of these three first, an essential step in securing your computer or network is understanding what actions can compromise you. What you don’t know will hurt you, especially in regards to email.”

Vantec Nexus NXP-205 Fan Controller
8Balls Hardware :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Fan control devices are somewhat of a requirement for overclockers who want variable cooling solutions to suit situations where extra cooling is needed, or otherwise when the need for silence is greater than the need for extra cooling. Cliff Anderson of the original Fanbus inspired the concept of fan control devices, giving the user the choice to run fans at variable speeds, or shutting them off entirely when not in use. ”

Coolermaster Aero 7+ CPU cooler Review
3dXtreme :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The quiet noise level, ease of installation, choice of front or rear fan speed control and the superb performance make this a top notch cooler in my book. If you’re in need of a new HSF for that high end AMD gaming rig, with the Coolermaster Aero 7+ you wont be disappointed….”

Thermaltake Volcano 11+
Red & Blackness Mods :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“This is the first Thermaltake reiew for us here at rbmods. Thermaltake makes a number of different products that are high quality and have gotten good reviews. Today we are having a look at the Thermaltake Volcano 11+ which is a AMD cooler that has 2 different fan speed controllers. We are checking the noise level, and how it cools under heavy overclocking. Let’s see if this product gets a recomendation from us!”

Noise Isolator Water Cooling Components
SystemCooling :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“I first became aware of the Noise Isolator name when I purchased one of their fan controllers. They also have a line of water-cooling components, and we have them here for review. The Noise Isolator water-cooling line up consists of their Glacial 120mm radiator, the Icicle dual mount P4/AMD water block, a round acrylic reservoir and a hard drive cooler. Illustrated instructions and hardware are included. After some detail on each component, I’ll add a pump and do some flow tests before installing it on my test system.”

Gigabyte GA-7VT600L KT600 Motherboard Review
Overclockers New Zealand :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“It is 5% slower than Nvidia’s nF2 Ultra400 on average. In extreme cases, i.e. Q3A demo, the gap is as wide as 14%. In terms of overclocking, KT-600 is no match for Nvidia’s nF2 due to the lack of PCI and AGP locking”

Thermaltake Silent Boost for K7 and 370
Xoxide :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The full copper Silent Boost Highest Performance Cooler from Thermaltake is truely a revolutionary product. The product includes new innovative fan design that allows for a significant increase in fan intake. The fan is able to use air surrounding it on 5 sides, as opposed to the traditional 1 side. This increase in air intake causes the heatsink/fan combo to preform better than others of its kind. ”

PCMods.com RheoBus, Version 2.5
Voided Warranty :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“I use the phone a lot while I am working on the computer. With my 120mm, 90mm and 2x80mm fans I have a hard time hearing clients or friends. The Rheobus fan controller allows me to quickly turn my fans down to a quiet speed.”

Lite-On 52x32x52x CD-RW Review
Techwarelabs :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“With 52x burn speeds, it is not the minor speed differences (a few seconds here, a few seconds there) that matter. What matters is that the quality of the burns stays consistently high when writing at such speeds, and quality is that on which the review will focus – so let’s see if the Lite-On 52x32x52 drive is up to scratch!”

Corsair TwinX512 PC3700 RAM review
SystemCooling :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“Given the extreme overclockability of many of today’s Pentium 4 and Athlon XP processors and motherboards, more and more often, the wall hit by the many users is not these components, but in fact is the system’s memory. Diehard enthusiasts are always looking for an edge in this regard, and any time there’s a discussion regarding overclocking and memory, you can bet one name that will come up is Corsair. Corsair RAM is perennially some of the highest performing and best overclocking memory around.”

Xoxide Fireball 3D 80mm Fan Grill
Xoxide :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“This new Xoxide fan grill is produced out of solid steel, in an injection mold format. The grill is actually 3D, around the edges of the fireball, similar to the “blade grill”. Show your support for Xoxide, and sport this grill on your tricked out box.”

Tt “Perfect Light” Series Review
Overclocker Café :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“The Perfect Light series is several case mods based on the Fireball theme we have seen a bit out of Thermaltake lately. Some of the light and appliqué mods we’re getting ready to show you will fit any case, others will only fit the Tt Xaser III case. Today we have all five products in the Perfect Light Series installed in a Xaser III aluminum case so you can see first hand what these specialty items look like. For each piece we have taken (taken ourselves or taken off the Tt site) some video to show the lighting in action. ”

Thermaltake Xaser III V1000D PC Case review
Short-Media :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“Thermaltake have included everything needed to make a great case, and nothing more. They have succeeded in making a case that has excellent cooling, decent assembly, rich in features, and the looks to please. This means the Xaser III appeals to a variety of people, from the overclocker to somebody who wants a nice looking case.”

Palit Daytona Geforce FX5200 Ultra Videocard Review
Tweaknews :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“For a lower end model, this card was actually a little fun to review. It performed reasonably well as long as you left it at 1024×768 with no antialiasing, and gave a FX5600 a good run for it’s money. Add in the fact that the card overclocks extremely well and is packed with fast memory and you have yourself a budget hidden gem for the mainstream market.”

Enermax EG651P-Ve 550Watt PSU review
DataFuse :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“Well, just like I expected from the first second I tested it (you probably did as well when you started reading) this is a PSU of the highest level. But the problem is, this level is way too high for almost every computer user. I doubt that even 0.1% of the market requires a PSU like this one.”

Chenming 301KE review
Virtual-Underground :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“This is a very neat case all around. It has a very slick design outside as well as inside. All the wires inside the case are nicely packed in a small bundle and they are all covered instead of having single wires laying all over the place. It’s very clean.”

Microcool Northpole Chipset Cooling Kit
OCAddiction :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“Microcool aimed at producing a high performance chipset cooler for overclockers to squeeze out the last bit from their Northbridge and they have done just that. The Northpole is excellent in performance, built with quality, and is very easy to install. The black shroud makes the unit look very sexy, especially when mounted on a black motherboard. “

Auravision eluminX Keyboard
GruntvillE :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“Company history gives traces of military use for the keyboards. One doesn’t have to wonder why the government might be interested in this product. Let’s face it, consumers aren’t always at the top of the chain when it comes to product development. Without the military, we wouldn’t have a lot of the products we use today. I’ll spare the “for instances” as I doubt I’ll tell you anything which you’re not already aware of. The idea to bring this to the consumer’s eyes was obviously a good choice. A marketing firm and a technology firm held hands and lifted up what we now know as Auravision.”

Leadtek WinFast A350 TDH MyVIVO (FX 5900) Review
Bjorn3D :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“The TwinTurbo-II Cooling Systems is a unique cooling solution that completely surrounds the video card in an aluminum casing. There are two fans in the front to provide steady airflow over the chips and heatsinks hidden behind the front cover. Each of the memory chips and the GPU are covered in heatsinks to pull heat away from them. It seems as if this should be a very good cooling system for the FX 5900. Unfortunately, it makes the card heavy (the heaviest card I’ve ever held) and rather large.”

Ahanix SilenX 350W PSU
The Tech Lounge :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“How do you like your noisy computer? Not too much? There are many things you can do to quiet down your computer such as using Panaflo or Papst fans on a rheobus until they are virtually silent. A custom quiet water cooling setup could also remove any noise that a CPU heatsink/fan and a GPU heatsink fan would generate. What’s that? Do you still hear noise emitting from your case? Well, there is one thing that was probably overlooked, the power supply. Today we will be looking at the SilenX 350W power supply from Ahanix. Does this PSU live up to its “Silent” name? Let’s find out…”

OCA Case Mod Project
OCAddiction :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“The Enermax PSU’s notoriously come with quite a few Molex connectors for your peripheral power needs. Unfortunately, sometimes there are too many and they can end up just dangling around in your case hampering airflow and making the place a general mess. First I sat and tried to think of all the peripheral and power connections I would need, and then hid the rest. Here is where we started.”

X-500 Aluminum Mid-Tower
Xoxide :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“The X500 features 1.0mm anodized aluminum alloy, which is resistant to fingerprints and dust. Fingerprints, as you know, leave oil which can tarnish unprotected surfaces such as aluminum. The anodizing also does an excellent job of resisting scratches.”

reviewed Cold cathode fans from Sunbeam
Red & Blackness Mods :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“When you think of the word modding, one brand probably pops into your mind right away and that’s Sunbeam! Today we are having a look at their CCFL fans. They seem to be high quality and you can probably use these as case fans and various other things to light and cool off your case a little :) I recieved a few different colored ones so stay tuned and check out this review.”

Building a Shuttle System
Think Computers :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“Lately a lot of my friends have been asking me to build them computers for college. Most of them are not into case modding or anything like that, so they do not need anything special. If you have been to most college dorm’s they are not very big so I had to find something small, but powerful. Also price was an issue, my friends did not want to spend $2000 on something that they would only use for typing and surfing the web. So I thought about it for a while, and I decide to try one of the Shuttle systems out. When I was installing the system there were some things that were different and cool. So today we will take a look at how to build a Shuttle system!”

AMK “DaBenz” PC Case Review
Short-Media :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“A PC case with headlights and a grill? It’s true and AMK Computers let us take DaBenz out for a test drive. It has been our experience that many PC cases are the same chassis except for the bezel but AMK chooses their product line carefully. It’s not until the “up close and personal” do the reasons why become obvious.”

3-Way Thermal Interface Material Shootout
TweakTown :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“With processors and video boards getting more powerful, they are also getting considerably hotter. Anyone with a computer needs to take a look at cooling. But there is more to this topic than just a good heatsink. There also has to be a manner to transfer the heat built up from the processor TO that good heatsink. This is where a good Thermal Interface Material (TIM) comes into play. Come join Mike “Darthtanion” Wright as he pits Arctic Silver III against OCZ Ultra II against Arctic Silver Ceramique. Who knows, the results just might surprise you!”

Enermax CS-5107 Tower review
ViperLair :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“This case is really great for all users. It provides the good performance and looks that the enthusiast is looking for as well as the average user as it is competitively priced. The exclusion of some features such as thumbscrews was a bit of a downer, but the inclusion of features like the removable motherboard tray and it’s stunningly good looks made up for it.”

Zalman NP Heatpipe HDD Cooler ZM-2HC1
SystemCooling :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“In the quest for heat dissipation, heat pipe technology has become a major and quite fashionable selling point. Appearing first in CPU heat sinks, then in video card coolers, it was inevitable that heat pipes would start appearing in other areas of system cooling. And so it has. Today we’re going to take a look at one of the newest products in Zalman’s line of NP (noise prevention) cooling products, the ZM-2HC1 Heatpipe Hard Drive Cooler.”

Kingwin KT-436 Case review
PimpRig :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“The little things make all the difference when you buy anything. If a company will put forth effort in the little things, you will have confidence that the more important items were well thought out. Kingwin excels in this, for instance, the screws for installing drives are anodized black. They blend right in with the anodized black interior.”

Xonix Mega Memory Watch
SystemCooling :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“We all know people who go around town with one of those “USB Thumb Drives” dangling from a key ring or clipped on to their pocket protector; only a true geek uses the latter. Well, Xonix thought about it and knew there had to be a more stylish way to transport data around, so they built a better mouse trap, the Xonix Mega Memory Watch and packed it with 128 Mbytes of memory.”

Acousticase review
Ripnet-UK :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“Silence is indeed golden. Now that computers are being used increasingly throughout the home people are becoming less and less happy to endure the constant droning emitted by modern high-powered PC’s. Consequently a number of innovations have been made to help with noise reduction, probably one of the first to hit the mainstream being variable-speed cooling fans. Now cases are also being produced with peace and quiet featuring highly on their list of design priorities.”

Zalman CNPS7000A-Cu review
DataFuse :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“Five months ago I was putting Zalman’s predecessor, the CNPS7000-CU on the testbench, now I take a closer look at the CNPS7000A-CU. This version or actually revision is made to fit all current sockets. When I say current I mean: Socket 478 (Intel pentium 4), Socket 462 (AMD athlon, duron, athlon XP), but also socket 754 (AMD Athlon 64). In my previous review about the earlier product, I pointed out its only flaw was that it didn’t fit the Socket 462. Zalman responded pretty swiftly, although 5 months probably ain’t that fast in the “IT-World”. (BTW: glad to be once again the first to review something ;)) ”

Crucial DDR PC3200 Review
GruntvillE :: Saturday, August 09, 2003

“As you can see the memory performed quite well in its stock configuration and benefited only slightly by a little tweaking of the timings. One unexpected result was the declining SYSmark score. I ran these tests several times and they were all plagued by this strange outcome. Seeing as SYSmark is a much more multifaceted, real world benchmark, I’m inclined to believe that the performance really does drop with the adjusted timings. This would also explain Crucial’s decision to classify the modules as CL3. The Crucial engineers are much more likely to run simulated benchmarks of typical content creation and office productivity tasks than your latest game demos. To make things easier for comparisons sake, here are all the results arranged into a table.”

X-SuperAlien Aluminum Mid-Tower (Black)
Xoxide :: Saturday, August 09, 2003

“This case is a gamers dream come true. The SuperAlien mid-tower case comes full of extra features to make your case the coolest around (<– coolest, get it?). The case includes a total of 6 80mm quad blue LED UV sensitive fans, and an LCD temperature display on the front of the case with 2 adjustable fan speed controller. The full size side window allows the user to view everything inside of their case, and also includes one of the six fans on it. This fan, along with the top fan comes with the orginally designed SuperAlien Grill. Other features of this case include a tool-free removable motherboard tray and drive bays in both the 5 5.25″ bays and the 5 3.5″ bays. The tool-free drive bays use drive rails so that the drives can slide in and out instead of screwing in. Lastly the case comes with a lockable side panel and front panel for added privacy and security.”

Upgradeware XP-TMC Athlon XP Multiplier Upgrade Kit Review
MODTHEBOX! :: Saturday, August 09, 2003

“The XP-TMC consists of add-on module that must be installed between the ZIF socket of a standard motherboard and the AMD XP CPU itself. The XP-TMC module like the CPU core has 462 integrated pins located on the top and bottom. The bottom side of the XP-TMC includes a series of 5 toggle switches (similar to dip-switches) labelled S1-S5, which allow you the manually adjust the multiplier setting. The XP-TMC has a multiplier range of 5.0x to 24.0x and users should consult their CPU reference documentation and motherboard manual for the appropriate setting.”

FraggPad Magnum Gaming Surface Review
MODTHEBOX! :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The Magnum is composed of 6mm 1/4″ acrylic and measures 38 cm long and 26 cm tall, both at the longest points. The shape of the Fraggpad Magnum is similar to a kidney shape, with the one end narrowed and elongated. On the lower right of the Magnum is the purple FraggPad logo (optionally a yellow version is available), which has been applied to the front of the pad. While I am fairly sure this is to protect the logo, a closer inspection reveals that it will wear off over time.”

FraggPad Magnum Mouse Surface Review
Furioustech :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Are you a square? How about your mouse pad or surface is it square? Well today you fragging fiends we have the FraggPad Magnum mouse surface from Voyermods. Not only is it a great surface but it has a unique shape. Check this baby out, break out of that square mold and come on in!”

External USB 2.0 Portable Storage Kits Review
OCIA :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“External drives are following the same paradigms as external drives are growing larger and faster, or more compact and portable. Today I am going to compare two external cases that both are designed to be powered off of the USB 2.0 ports and hold a 2.5 Laptop Hard Drive. It is not intended that this review be a technical treatise on the speed of such drives but is more focused on the pros and cons of these two drive enclosures and their unique features.”

SteelPad 4S – Gaming Mousepad
KEPtech :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The gaming community is growing at a very fast pace. In the case of online gaming, there is competition – very strong competition. With online First Person Shooter games, all the players want the best rig to run their game smoothly; the best sound system to strategically locate the enemies, and the best mouse to quickly and accurately target them. If you have ever played any first person shooter games, you’ll know that the mouse is almost as important as the computer. ”

Bluetooth modem from X-Micro
Red & Blackness Mods :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“We have reviewed a few XMicro products lately and they have all turned out to get at least 4 out of 5 so this Bluetooth dongle has some pressure on it to stand up to the expectations. Alot of people still use a modem so a Bluetooth one that doesn’t need a cable between the computer and the modem seems like a good buy. Basically you can place it anywhere you want since you don’t need a cable. How is the transfer speed?! How far away can it be?! Well let’s see.”

Chaintech Apogee A-FX71 Geforce FX5600 Ultra Ver2
Monkey Review :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The results are enough to speak for themselves. I’m impressed with the overall performance and look of the Chaintech A-FX71 FX5600 Ultra v2. There is little doubt in my mind that the A-FX71 would look stellar in almost any environment that would allow it to be shown off. As mentioned at the start of this review, the card is a little more expensive than many of the budget cards available. The upshot is that you’re getting a fair amount for your money; a lucrative bundle combined with a high performing and good looking card.”

ATI TV Wonder VE Remote Control Edition Review
Tweaknews :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Having a product that is cheap and so easy to install, the ATI TV Wonder Remote Control Edition is by far a great buy. For ~US$75, you can compliment your videocard with a whole multimedia suite that is simple to use and proven to work flawlessly. As I have said before, once you have TV on your computer, you will never be without it again.”

Chaintech GeForce FX 5600 Ultra Review
Overclocker Café :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“The first one we notice is the big honkin’ GPU sink. It looks like a passive heatsink, but in fact is not. This is part of Chaintech Gas-Turbine cooling system. Looking in front of the sink, we see a fan with a clear plastic shroud around it. The fan is designed to blow air across the sink and through the grooves to help push the heat away from the GPU.”

Altec Lansing XA3051 Home Theater Speakers
The Tech Lounge :: Saturday, August 30, 2003

“Are you a lazy bloke that likes to sit in front of your TV all day and play video games? Don’t listen to your mother or your wife, this is a good thing. What could be better than kicking back with a cold beverage* in one hand, and a remote or your favorite console’s controller in the other hand; All the while having a sub blasting hard enough to make you shake with every explosion, or every footstep for that matter. Let’s see if the XA3051 can do the job.”

Chaintech FX71 5600 Ultra Video Card Review
IpKonfig :: Sunday, August 24, 2003

“NVIDIA’s GeForce FX chipset has been, for the most part, well accepted in the gaming community, a fine achievement on NVIDIA’s part. Its latest graphics processor introduces newer features for better game play. Using 0.13u process technology, the FX chipset provides significant speed increases. . . . This card in particular is very attractive, in part due to Chaintech’s designers. You’ll find that most of its products exhibit very nice cosmetic designs. The Chaintech FX71 5600 Ultra video card has a functional purpose behind its sexy looks, too. The enclosed design was designed to produce better cooling for today’s demanding graphic processors. By using Gas Turbine Technology (GT), it can average around 10-15°C better cooling than other standard methods. The Gas Turbine technology works in the same way, for the most part, as an airplane engine.”

ATI Radeon 9800 Pro All-In-Wonder review
Hexus :: Friday, August 15, 2003

“As the ultimate combination of 3D speed, 2D quality and the All-In-Wonder feature set, it has no peer, and probably wont have for quite a long time.”
