Scythe Katana Cu HSF Review
ap0calypse :: Thursday, April 13, 2006
“If someone was to ask you to name a heatsink manufacturer, I’d be willing to bet that Scythe would not be the first name that comes to mind. While not new to the scene, Scythe is still a relatively unknown name in the enthusiast market. This is unfortunate because as you have seen in past reviews of a few of Scythe’s coolers, every one has performed extremely well. Today I am going to take a look at another of their coolers aimed at the enthusiast market, the Katana Cu. Let’s see if this new all copper version of the Katana can help put the name Scythe, on the minds of more people. ”

ASUS A8N32-SLI Deluxe review
Nordic Hardware :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Instead of a bunch of noisy fans, ASUS has opted for a heatpipe solution, leading away the heat from both the north- and southbridge to a larger heatsink right next to to CPU socket. This heatsink also cools one cluster of the power solution’s MOSFETs and due to its proximity to the CPU heatsink it gets an adequate airflow. The second cluster sits beneath another heatsink just above the CPU socket.

FW: Building a Silent Media PC
Bjorn3D :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
High WAF-score (Wife Acceptance Factor). It has to be easy to use for both me and my wife. She’s no idiot by any means (on the contrary), but she doesn’t see any reason to have to fight the box when all she wants to do is watch TV or a DVD. I tend to agree. Tinkering with software and hardware is fun up to a certain point, but when you just want to watch that important game, the last thing you want to have to do is to have to get the machine working right. Silent. I usually don’t care that much if my main computer is noisy, but any machine in the living room has to be as silent as possible. Powerful. While I don’t intend to use my Media PC for gaming, I want it to be powerful enough to show HD-quality video. Stylish. It has to fit in the living room.

Definitely deserves a recommended award.”

Singing The WiFi Blues
The Tech Zone :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Yet in weighing the options, virtually nothing is heard about the potential health risks. Saturating an entire city with WiFi adds to the existing burden of nonionizing radiation. That burden, called electrosmog by some, consists of long-term exposure to low-level concentrations of nonionizing radiation from familiar sources like radio and TV signals, electronic and electrical devices, and the ubiquitous cell phone.
The Facts About MySpace
Big Bruin :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
Quote: The latest hangout for tweens and teens isn’t the mall in downtown or any particular club, but rather the chaotic world of cyberspace, at a website called MySpace.com. As the hottest social networking site on the web, MySpace has accumulated an estimated 54 million users in just three years of existence, with many users falling within the teen and twenty-something crowds and approximately 19% under the age of 17. MySpace is a wonderful place to meet others of like mind and interest, but with this sharing of interests come other dangers that are heightened by the unregulated nature of the Internet and the ready availability of personal information online.
Power Supply Tutorial
Hardware Secrets :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
“As an electrical device, the computer needs power in order for its components to operate properly. The device responsible for supplying power to the computer is the power supply. In a short way, we could say that the main function of the power supply is to convert alternating voltage (a.k.a. AC) which is supplied by the electrical power system into continuous voltage (a.k.a. DC). In other words, the power supply converts the conventional 110V or 220V alternating voltage into continuous voltage used by the PC electronic components, which are: +3,3V, +5V, +12V, -5V and -12V. The power supply is also present in the PC cooling process, facilitating the airflow inside the case.”

OS Weekly :: Tuesday, April 11, 2006
“Most people have heard of object oriented and structural paradigms of programming. These two are generally widely used. But there are many programming problems which cannot be solved using the aforementioned structures.

Our next product from Scythe gives you plenty of both. Utilizing a 100mm fan and a little bit out of the norm construction, the Mine maybe a cooler to reckon with.
