Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T
Pro-Clockers :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
Quote: Aerocool is one of those companies that are taking the enthusiast market by storm. Their coolers have being a big hit over the last three years or so. I remember using their HT-101 in many system buildups I have done. But now their cases are making a big splash just like their heatsinks. Boasting a 25mm side panel fan and also a 14cm front facial fan, the Aerocool ExtremEngine 3T is extreme.
Sansun BAT Case Review
AMDGamer.com :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
Quote: “I enjoyed looking at Sansun’s most popular case and was very pleased with the build quality and layout. The exterior is very well designed and feels sturdy. The front door is solid unlike many other cases I’ve seen in this category. Personaly, I think this case is eye catching and will definately be noticed by your friends. In my opinion, its “BAT” design geares it more towards the entry level to average gamers and not the hard core enthusiast. It comes completely pre-modded as a “BAT” case in a very modern fashion.”
TransTFT Mod
MetkuMods :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
“I bought an old 15″ TFT display from my friend because the display of my laptop didn’t offer me enough workspace. This monitor just happened to be too ugly to be tolerated for long. I never had the guts to modify my laptop, so this new screen of mine offered a great opportunity to refresh my building skills.”
NZXT Lexa Full ATX Case
hardCOREware :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
NZXT releases only a couple products each year, so when they do announce a product, it’s usually worthy of attention. This time it’s the “Lexa”, a full ATX tower case that looks unlike any other case we’ve reviewed.
NZXT is somewhat known for caring more about form than function, and the Lexa is no different. In fact, this case has more extraneous plastic parts than we’ve seen in quite some time! But there are some interesting aspects of this case that makes it worth checking out… So does it perform well?
T-Mobile SDA Mobile Phone
Designtechnica :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
“T-Mobile will soon be releasing their SDA Smartphone to the public in February. Priced at $299.99 with activation, it’s aimed to be a decent entry-level phone for those looking to try the Windows Mobile platform out. Unfortunately, the phone has a few flaws that make it more trouble than it’s worth. A limited camera, horribly placed memory card slot and a bad UI make the SDA suffer. Join us as we take a ride through what the SDA has to offer and whether it’s good enough to meet your standards of phonology. ”

Aperture Vs. Shutter Speed @ Digital Grabber
Digital Grabber :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
Shutter speed and aperture values are at a constant tug-of-war concerning light. Suppose someone was a handed a camera and was told that its aperture and shutter settings were set to ensure proper exposure using a shutter speed of 1/60th and an aperture of F/8. However, suppose that they wanted a faster shutter speed to capture a moving object, so they set the shutter speed to 1/250 and took a picture, they would get an underexposed photo because they didn’t allow the film to be exposed for the 1/60th of a second it needed. Therefore, they would need to change the aperture to allow more light in, perhaps by changing it to F/1.8, or whatever the maximum aperture of the lens is. It is always good once you have changed your settings to check them with a light meter and see if you are giving enough light for proper exposures.

FujiFilm FinePix S9000
Bytesector :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
“Today, we’ll be looking at Fuji’s top-of-the-line pro-sumer digital camera, the Finepix S9000. This camera is placed above the standards of typical point-and-shoot cameras and just a touch below SLR cameras. Its SLR-like design is supposed to make it a great choice for photographers just starting off, thanks to the price, features list and ease of use. With a price tag of $900 CAD, it makes one wonder whether or not it is even worth it to get one of these when digital SLR cameras are rapidly dropping in price and can be had for little more than the cost of the S9000. Read on to find out about Fuji’s offering and whether or not this is the camera for you.”
Do Memory Module Heat Spreaders Make A Difference
Legit Reviews :: Thursday, February 09, 2006
“As expected, all heat spreader types provided an improvement of a few MHz over the same module with no heat spreader applied. Within the heat spreader results, the XMS PRO provided a small performance gain over the XMS and Mesh heat spreaders. This is the result that we expected to see; the additional surface area provided by the larger heat spreader would naturally be expected to dissipate a nominal amount of additional heat….”

Vizo Mirror Box
Pro-Clockers :: Monday, February 06, 2006
Quote: Digital cameras, cell phones, voice recorder, mp3 players and PDAs, chances are you own one of the items just listed. And chances are they take some form of digital media, rather it is secure digital, Sony memory stick or whatever. Even if your device has the ability to hook up to your computer, it would save the lifespan of your device by plugging in that memory into some type of reader. And when you have a reader like this, not only does it have to work well, but look good also. And the Vizo Mirror Box does just that.

The Tech Zone :: Sunday, February 05, 2006
If you’re like me, you’ve come to take wireless pretty much for granted. Everywhere I go, I expect to be able to connect to the internet to check my email, chat with my friends or get some work done. It seem no matter where I am, I can open my notebook and find a wireless network to plug into. However, there are times when I’m logged into a wireless network and suddenly lose the connection or the speed suddenly drops to an unbearable level. I’m sure you have experience this as well.

“Armed with a discreet video solution, the WinFast 6150K8MA-8EKRS proved to be quite a performer, near the levels of the nForce 4 Ultra and SLI (minus a second PEG NVIDIA card). If the FlexATX SFF PCs aren’t for you, but you still want something compact, this Foxconn board is worth a look.”
Xinerama v. TwinView
Phoronix :: Sunday, February 05, 2006
Summary: “When it comes to a multi-headed environment under Linux, there are two popular options for consumers — Xinerama and TwinView. Although TwinView was developed by NVIDIA for allowing multiple monitors to be powered by a single GPU with their array of GeForce graphics cards, Xinerama was originally developed by Digital Equipment Corporation under the name of PanoramiX, and was later incorporated into the X Window System. Today at Phoronix, we have studied the frame-rate gaming performance under multi-headed NVIDIA TwinView and Xinerama configurations as well as a traditional single-head design.”
