Dragonsteel Mods :: Monday, January 19, 2009

Nanoxia FX series 120mm Fans Reviewed
Dragonsteel Mods :: Monday, January 19, 2009
Most every PC system has fans in it too keep them cool and we’ve learned that not all fans are created equal, they might look good but they don’t perform well and of course it can go the opposite way as well. Today for review I’ve got the new Nanoxia FX Series of 120mm Fans, these fans are colorful with a black frame and clear green blades. I’ve got two for testing, one is the 1250RPM version while the other is a bit faster coming in at 2000RPMs, I’ve put them up against the Noctua NF-P12 120MM fan to see who performs better.

“Assuming you’ve already figured out how to keep your laptop powered on your next major jaunt across the continent, staying connected to the Web is your next major travel hurdle. After all, Solitaire and a handful of movies can keep you entertained for a bit, but what you really brought a laptop for is e-mail, Web surfing, Skype, and all the other niceties of connectivity. So, how do you tap into the Internet when your friendly home Ethernet cable is dangling under an empty desk 1,000 miles away?”

Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package
APH Networks :: Friday, January 16, 2009
Things have changed quite a lot over one year. With the dawn of a new year, it will bring about a refreshed array of new products that the world will soon see. In the past year, we have witnessed the introduction of new products that were faster and more efficient than ever before. Ranging from the initial launch of new unibody Apple MacBooks, to the exciting beta version of Windows 7, everything on the face of the earth seems to be getting bigger and faster (We’re not saying it’s a good thing or bad thing — you decide). There’s $1000 12-inch “netbooks”, 17 inch laptops with SLI graphics that gets half an hour of battery life, but then there’s also laptops on the latest Intel mobile platform that provides switchable graphics — you get the idea. The only thing that is almost universally agreeable to have gotten worse this year is the economy, with hope that the dawn of a new year will bring back some much needed renewal of various markets. Either way, consumers are starting to spend their money more wisely these days, but those who have cash on their hands are definitely benefiting from reduced-price items. Be it buying cars or purchasing new computer components, it’s always important to consider the merits and the affordability of a product before buying such. On a lighter note, since we mentioned cars already — how about a ‘sports car inspired’ full tower case? Today, we will be taking a look at the Thermaltake Spedo Advance Package chassis. This case is designed not only to be like a fast car, but also contains elements of the looks of one. But how does it actually stack up in real life? We will answer this very question in our review today.
