Oh, Barcelona; how we hate those carriers
Hexus :: Tuesday, February 28, 2006
Regardless of what game genre you like it’s up to the carriers if you can get it, and get it on the particular phone you have. The carriers don’t seem to have a clue about how to deliver games, what games to offer or to make it easy to get and then play, pay, or try a game.

VOQ V11 Professional Smartphone
Think Computers :: Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Quote: “Like it or not cell phones have become a major part of our lives, and they have also become more and more specialized. Today cell phones have become more than just a way to call and talk to our friends, family or associates, some of the phones available today are essentially a portable office for those of us that need to keep in touch with everything. These phones are basically a mini computer and are called SmartPhones because they can do so much more than just talk to people. Today I have a relatively little known SmartPhone called the Voq Professional SmartPhone. The Voq features an Intel 200Mhz CPU and full QWERTY keyboard and so much more.

News: Noctua & Coolink Heatpipe Coolers reviewed
MetkuMods :: Tuesday, February 28, 2006
“”Bigger is better” kind of thinking seems to be the key here. It is good to see that the manufacturers didn’t build the heatsink around a huge lump of copper but decided to make the unit relatively light by utilizing aluminum fins and multiple heatpipes. This makes the cooling power to weight ratio excellent.”

Thermaltake Tide Water (VGA Liquid Cooling Module) Video Review #652:
3dgameman :: Tuesday, February 28, 2006

“The Thermaltake Tide Water (VGA Liquid Cooling Module) is the first of its kind. Currently there is nothing like it on the market. With modern Video Cards getting faster and faster, they can get really hot. At default speeds this is fine, but if you are overclocking, something else is required. This is a perfect option for anyone needing to get their Video Card’s core to its peek performance. Watch the Video to find out more…” ~3dGameMan.com

The Resurrection of LCoS
Hardware Secrets :: Monday, February 27, 2006
“A year ago, the projection TV choices available to consumers were almost exclusively limited to three primary types of display technology: CRT, LCD and DLP. Videophiles were mourning the apparent demise of a particularly promising TV technology: Liquid Crystal on Silicon (LCoS). The primary proponents of LCoS at that time – Intel and Philips – had just thrown in the proverbial towel after failing to establish a foothold in the market for their LCoS TV products.”

SuperTalent T800UX2GC4 PC2-6400 2GB kit review
Driver Heaven :: Monday, February 27, 2006

“AMD will present the AM2 socket this summer, which supports DDR2 PC6400 RAM. Intel based motherboards can already use such RAM and so we have most manufacturers entering a ‘memory war’, with every RAM manufacturer trying to design and release high speed DDR2 modules while offering good value as well. This ‘memory war’ seems to get interesting as Super Talent, a less known company among the enthusiast circles, released the (for the time being) fastest PC-6400 2GB kit currently available. The T800UX2GC4 kit consists of two 1GB modules, rated to run at 800MHz DDR and 4/3/4/8 timings.”

Thermaltake Eclipse DV Case
Overclocker Café :: Monday, February 27, 2006

If you’re looking for a one liner then it would have to be “I like this case”. The inclusion of combo DVD drive is a great idea. Not only will it save you a few bucks, but it frees up drive bay as well. The drawback with this is the single connection on the IDE cable. This means that you lose one drive off your board, but if you’re running SATA hard drives then it’s not a biggie.

Corsair Nautilus 500 Water Cooler Review
Legit Reviews :: Monday, February 27, 2006
“Corsair wanted to launch a low cost water cooler at $159 and that is what Corsair did. I give Corsair a hand for bringing enthusiast technology to the mainstream consumer and I believe the mainstream market is ready to embrace water cooling. I have been saying for years that water cooling is the way to go if you don’t move around your computer a ton. With reduced noise levels and awesome temperatures water cooling is well worth the extra cost from my point of view. Decent water cooling was always over $200 and that the midnight oil burning over at Corsair and the end result is the Nautilus 500.”

Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 Heatsink Review
Frosty Tech :: Monday, February 27, 2006
“The Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 heatsink suspends its 2000RPM fan on four dual axial rubber vibration absorbing posts. The general purpose of which is to prevent fan motor vibrations from transferring to other areas of the computer chassis which could cause noise. The 90-ish millimeter fan minimizes turbulence and noise by essentially floating the impeller alone above the aluminum component. The whole package weighs in at just 486 grams, and judging by recent information the Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 should even be compatible with AMD socket AM2 heatsink retention frames… though we aren’t 100% certain.”

Scythe Kamariki-2 550 Watt Power Supply @ Pro-Clockers
Pro-Clockers :: Monday, February 27, 2006
Quote: There are many people out there that don’t really care about modular power supplies or just don’t believe that they provide the stability that they need. So that is a reason why companies like OCZ, PC Power and Cooling, Enermax and others non-modular power supplies dominate the market. Another company that is determined to make a name for themselves beside these other companies is Scythe. Known for arguably the best heatsink out right now, the Ninja, Scythe is introducing the Kamariki-2 to the US market. This is bound to stir up a little something.
