SilverStone NT04 CPU Cooler @ ThinkComputers.org
Think Computers :: Friday, July 28, 2006
Quote: “Today’s CPU coolers features exciting new technologies like micro fins, and copper heat pipes, but do you remember the old fashioned aluminum fin types that most CPU’s came with stock? Is there still a place for them in today’s high temperature CPU’s? Well today for review I have a CPU cooler from SilverStone that reminded me of something I would have seen on an older type of CPU, all aluminum with a fan on top of it. It is the NT04 CPU cooler, is it any good? Can it do the job? Let’s find out…”
MSI NX7600GT HD Review at nV News
NVIDIA :: Friday, July 28, 2006
Review Quote: “My last review was on the MSI NX7600GT-VT2D256E. Just when I thought that I couldn’t get a cooler budget card than the NX7600GT-VT2D256E, MSI sends me an upgraded version of the card to review. The NX7600GT-VT2D256E HD has all of the power of the original, but it includes two capitalized letters, H and D. High-Definition.”
Logitech Z-5450 Digital 5.1 Speaker System Review
The Tech Zone :: Friday, July 28, 2006
I decided to try the Z-5450s with a few PC games and also with a few Xbox games. On the PC side, I gave it a run with titles such as Half-Life 2, Doom 3, and Battlefield 2. Gaming with these speakers was a delight to my audio senses. The surround performed beautifully and the precision of the sounds coming through really enhanced the overall gaming experience. The results were the same when I switched it over to the Xbox. I only chose titles with support for Dolby Digital and ended up playing half of the games in my collection just to see how much better they would sound. Before I knew it, half my day was gone and I didn’t regret it one bit. Now I can’t wait to receive my Xbox 360 so that I can enjoy what next-gen gaming will sound like on these speakers!

nMedia ZE-C26 External USB 2.0 All-in-1 Card Reader
Think Computers :: Monday, July 17, 2006
Quote: “There are many, many card readers out there, what makes one stand out from the other? How about speed and durability? How about how it looks or it’s designed? For me an external card reader is something that I will be taking with me places and needs to be durable and fast. Today for review I have one that looks cool, is fast and is very durable. It’s from Nmedia, yep Nmedia, they are known for excellent HTPC cases, so I expected their card reader to be excellent as well and I was right” check it out

Summary: “To be quite frank, the numbers speak quite clearly for themselves when it comes to the performance delta between the ATI Windows and Linux drivers.

ATi makes a “Cool” move
NGOHQ :: Friday, July 07, 2006
Quote: “ATi has just made a very cool decision regarding their AIB partners. They have chosen to stop adding their stock coolers to some of their regular shipments to AIB’s. They will still provide them if AIB’s choose to use them, but default shipments will not contain coolers. This could very well be a win-win scenario for everyone.”
PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO Video Card Eval
[H]ardOCP :: Friday, July 07, 2006
Would you like a powerful video card but are on a strict budget? We’ve got the card for you; PowerColor’s X1600 XT BRAVO edition packs a punch at a very affordable price.
“Overall the PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO offers mixed performance results for its price compared to the competition. The NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GS chimes in at $30 less than the PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO in e-tail. In one game they are dead even, in one game the X1600 XT is faster, but in the majority the 7600 GS is faster. The PowerColor Radeon X1600 XT BRAVO does have the advantage of offering superior texture filtering image quality in games however.”
