Pro CLockers :: Friday, February 02, 2007
Today, we are going to take a look at the newest cooler from Spire, the Fourier IV. The Fourier is an awesome looking cooler with a new design. With the cooling fan mounted underneath the copper fins air is designed to blow upwards and across the fins. The look of the Fourier IV is identical to that of the III but in copper. Will this design succeed in our testing?
SilverStone TJ09 Case Review 
XYZ Computing :: Friday, February 02, 2007
When SilverStone releases an aluminum tower-sized case, it is a big deal. This company has released hit after hit in their TJ series, including such memorable cases as the TJ03 (Maximum PC’s Dream Machine Case 2004) and the TJ07 (Maximum PC’s Dream Machine Case 2005 and XYZ Computing current test case). Now they have added another case to this line: the TJ09. This product is intended to be the ultimate in ATX case design, the price-is-not-a-factor, top-of-the-line case that competes with the best from Lian Li, Thermaltake, and other companies known for their aluminum design. (In case you were wondering, the TJ08 was an aluminum Micro-ATX tower. It is no slouch, but does not fall in the same category as all the other TJ cases).
Rosewill RCX-Z2-EX CPU Cooler Review 
RB Mods :: Friday, February 02, 2007
We’ve seen a lot of intricate CPU coolers, from large air-cooled units to liquid coolers to peltiers. However, sometimes a computer doesn’t need a fancy cooling setup when a simpler yet effective solution might do. Rosewill, makers of a wide range of computer peripherals, offers a CPU cooler, the RCX-Z2-EX, which comes in a small package but promises respectable cooling performance nonetheless. Will good things come in small packages? That is the question we’re going to answer in this review.
Quick Look – Lightscribe Anyone?
Hardware Logic :: Friday, February 02, 2007
“Lightscribe is a labeling technology that has been around for a little over 2 years now. Basically, a specially golden coated disk is put into a special drive where the write laser etches a monochrome label onto the coating the optical media (that would be DVD’s and CD’s). The end result is a professional looking (and feeling) label you would expect from a production silk screening processes.”
Surfing By Proxy
PC Mech :: Friday, February 02, 2007
Proxy servers, commonly called proxies, offer a whole different approach towards protection of privacy. They act as relays between your computer and the locations on the Internet that you visit. When you point your browser at a web site through a proxy server, your browser does not contact the web site directly. Instead, it sends the request to the proxy server to fetch that web page. The proxy server, in turn, sends the request to the web site, fetches the web page, and sends it over to your browser. As far as the web site’s records go, you never visited the site.

Sapphire X1650 Pro Ultimate Edition PCIe Video Card
PC Apex :: Friday, February 02, 2007
We have a new review up on a silent and budget-friendly card from Sapphire. The X1650 Pro Ultimate Edition is a completely fan-less video card so noise won’t be an issue; but how does it perform? Here is a snip from the review:
“I don’t know who Sapphire worked with to develop their heatpipe design, but I am impressed with the construction. The tubes are 8mm which will allow a lot of movement of fluid and vapor which means more efficient cooling. The bends on the tubing are a little rough, but not enough to affect it’s ability. If you look closely at the picture of the side of the card that has the DVI connectors you will notice two rubber pads on the fins. These keep the metal from meeting with circuitry, which is a very good thing.”
NZXT Zero review 
Driver Heaven :: Friday, February 02, 2007
“NZXT is most probably well known to our readers, although the company was established only 2 years ago. Every single case they have released since then became quickly popular because of their distinctive appearance and high quality. NZXT cases can be quite distinctive like the Nemesis or exceptionally elegant, like the Lexa. The Zero is marketed as the ‘perfect cooling solution’ by NZXT and is a simple but attractive case with a total of 8 fans pre-installed inside it with 7 of those fans being 120mm fans!”
NZXT Zero Full Tower Aluminum Chassis Review 
Big Bruin :: Friday, February 02, 2007
There is plenty of room for all of your components, and working inside in the NZXT Zero is quite easy given the space and variety of tool-less features. Once you have all of your components installed there is still a good deal of room which is nice since it makes it more visually appealing and will help the airflow keep the system cool.

In Win Alpha 360 mATX Case Review 
Big Bruin :: Friday, February 02, 2007
The styling of the In Win Alpha 360 mATX Case is definitely unique and is one of its best features. It looks like no other case I have used, and the aesthetics don’t get in the way of an easy installation and convenient operation. It provides many well designed tool-less features, more drive space than many other mATX cases, and decent cooling despite just having one case fan. Overall it has made quite a positive impression on me.
