I have had a few one on one sessions with Dave in the past and he is very passionate about the products ATI has made in his time leading the company and it would also be safe to say he is very confident with the direction this AMD/ATI merger is going to take.”

Legit Reviews :: Friday, August 11, 2006
“Is it worth $30? Hell yeah! The Fang didn’t automatically make me l337 (I’m still a Private-First Class in BF2), but it definitely helped make me a better gamer since access time to hard to reach keys or commands were at my fingertips. It kept me alive longer, and made my gameplay quicker and more precise.”

OCZ GameXStream 700W
Overclockers Online :: Friday, August 11, 2006
The OCZ GameXStream 700W power supply was not OCZs first power supply offering and likely won’t be the last but the GameXStream line did seem to improve on the high quality that their PowerStream and ModStream power supplies toughed despite coming from a different manufacturer this time around. I think OCZ has another winner on its hands with the GameXStream as it has proven to stand up to the abuse and show no signs of slowing down any time soon.

Zalman CNPS9500 AM2 Quiet CPU Cooler
Viper Lair :: Friday, August 11, 2006
“The CMPS9500 AM2 was very quiet throughout testing. It spun up to it’s maximum speed once it hit full load, but it took over 3 minutes to do that. Basically, if you tend to load up your CPU in short bursts, the cooler may never hit full speed. To be honest, I’m not really sure of any real-world examples of that, but in day-to-day use, it will not be very disturbing.”

Well today we are looking at the MB122 drive enclosure from Icy Dock and it’s just that. Plus Icy Dock has added some cool features like an LCD, temperature sensor and more!”
