After all, it doesn’t look too professional if your company name is “Global Industries Unlimited” and your email address is obviously provided by one of the many companies that gives a free email account to anyone.

Thermaltake Bigwater 735 Water Cooling System Review
Tweaknews :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The Bigwater 735 liquid cooling system represents the latest stage in the evolution of the Bigwater series. Thermaltake has increased tubing size, nearly quadrupled the flow rate and added another channel in the waterblock. And what rewards did they reap for these improvements?”

ATI Radeon X1650 PRO 3-way shootout
Hexus :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
With Radeon X1650 PRO rolling with higher clocks and a new lower-than-X1600 XT price, it’s certainly worth a peek versus NVIDIA competition. GeCube, HIS and Sapphire fired boards our way, and it’s those we present in this piece. With three different coolers and clock levels on test, there’s plenty to chat about and present.

LCD Monitor Guide – Response Time
The Tech Zone :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
If Contrast Ratios and Nit levels haven’t confused you enough, then let’s bring more terms into the discussion! In this 2nd part of “Choosing An LCD Monitor”, we’re going to take a look at response times, and how there are two very important and yet different response time specifications.

ICY Dock MB454SPF-B Multi-Bay Backplane Module
Bjorn 3d :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
A few months ago, I reviewed ICY Dock’s 5.25’’ removable enclosures, I liked the fact that the enclosure is really easy to use and the cool looks. However, the enclosure only houses one hard drive (which I bet man yof us do), so if you got a lot of hard drives, you would need to purchase many enclosures. It it not only impratical to do so, but also quite costly. Luckily ICY Dock also has the multi-bay enclosure to solve this problem. Today, we’ll be looking at ICY Dock’s MB454SPF-B, a multi-bay backplane module that allows to mount multiple hard drives. ICY Dock actually sells other multi-bay backplane modules that can accommodate 3, 4, or 5 hard drives. The MB454SPF-B that we are looking at today utilizes the space of three 5.25’’ to house 4 SATA I or SATA II hard drives.

Foxconn 975X7AA-8EKRS2H 30-day Test Drive
techFEAR :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The 975X7AA-8EKRS2H suffered from a few issues early on; however, Foxconn focused on each problem and provided solutions to address what we experienced. techFEAR follows-up our initial evaluation with the results of Foxconn’s efforts in this 30-day Test Drive.”

Ultra Products MicroFly SFF Case
PC Apex :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“Taking the case out of the bag, I was initially surprised by how light the case was. It’s very small, but well designed for structural integrity. The paint job is superb; both cases have a glossy finish, unlike the orange peel paint of most cases. The paint is even glossy enough that finger prints may become a problem if you are not careful.”

ABIT AW9D-MAX Motherboard – Core 2’s new Best Friend?
Tweak Town :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“ABIT’s choice of power and cooling is a so-so affair. First off you have a 4 phase power regulation system to provide power to the CPU. While this is enough for the Core 2 Duo and Core 2 Extreme, the Pentium 4, Pentium D and Pentium Extreme and possibly the upcoming Core 2 Quad processors might find this a bit constricting when it comes to overclocking. ABIT has placed cooling on its Mosfets around the CPU as well as a new Silent OTES 2 cooling solution that covers the Northbridge, Southbridge and the additional voltage regulators. The cooling system is quite effective and looks very attractive but most importantly, it is silent.”

Coolermaster eXtreme Power Duo RP-600-PCAP PSU Review
Technic 3d :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The Coolermaster eXtreme Power Duo RP-600-PCAP PSU arrived Technic3D. See you in the following Review a PSU for a small price and 600W better than the iGreen PSU?”

ECS KA3 MVP Extreme Crossfire Xpress 3200 Motherboard Review
PC Stats :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
” While the ease of enabling SLI has really propelled nVidia’s dual videocard solution into a mainstream product realm, ATI’s ‘Crossfire Edition’ videocards seem destined to languish in obscurity for the rest of eternity. Put another way, it’s telling when none of the major 3rd party manufacturers submit a major component of one of the “big two” videocard companies product lineup for review. PCSTATS will delve into these matters as we evaluate the new ECS Extreme KA3 MVP Extreme motherboard which is built upon the ATI ‘RD580’ CrossFire Xpress 3200 northbridge and ATI ‘SB600′ southbridge. ECS’ KA3 MVP Extreme supports all socket AM2 processors on the market and accomodates 8GB of DDR2-800 memory in a dual channel configuration. Peripheral expansion comes care of a PCI Express x1 and two 32-bit PCI slots. The two PCI Express x16 slots are reserved for videocards, and operate with 16 PCI Express lanes each that connect directly to the ‘RD580’ Crossfire Xpress 3200 northbridge. ”

WIRED NextFest 2006 Wrap-up
Digital Trends :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
” ballroom dancer, a spaceship, and a robot bartender. What do these three things all have in common? They’re on display currently at Wired Magazine’s NextFest event. What is NextFest you ask? It’s a showcase of emerging technology that could one day change the world we live in. The show features over 130 exhibits and is being held this year in New York at the Jacob Javits Center for three days.”

NZXT Precise 650w Power Supply
OCIA :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The NZXT Precise series of power supplies carries an impressive list of features. nVidia SLI certified. Dual Independent/Combined +12v Rails. Active Power Factor Correction. Low noise operation <30dB. Truly a power supply for the intense system builder. My only worry with a power supply of this caliber was whether I could throw enough at it to really put it through its paces?”

Cooler Master Mars CPU Cooler
Dragonsteel Mods :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
” A little bit ago I reviewed the Cooler Master Hyper TX CPU cooler and found that it was an excellent choice for an after market CPU Cooler, today for review I have another CPU cooler from Cooler Master, the Mars. The Mars is one of those CPU coolers that just looks cool (pun intended!), it has an innovative and attractive design that is sure to attract your attention. Let’s find out if the Mars performs as well as it looks… ”

Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Power Supply
3dGameMan :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“The Seasonic M12 Modular 700W Power Supply performs very well, has a quiet 120mm fan, and another fan if it’s required. This is a modular power supply. However, the main motherboard 20/24, 8pin, and 4pin leads are hardwired into the power supply and are not modular. Modular power supplies give you the freedom of selecting only the leads you require, therefore freeing up a lot of cable mess inside the case, thus increasing airflow. Watch the Video to find out more…”

Thermaltake Toughpower Modular 750W PSU Review
Techgage :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Power, we all need it, we all crave it and it’s a part of life. Today I’m looking at an item that’ll have you sounding like He-Man: “I have the power!” And you won’t be wrong.

Looking at a Wallop of Success?
PC Mech :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
In a virtual world of unique visitors and visitor hits that result in cash, social networking sites Facebook and MySpace keep hitting treasure wherever they dig. For those unfamiliar with the sites, Facebook started in February 2004 as a strictly college networking site, where registered users can keep in touch with other users. Anyone registering needed a “.edu” email address in order to create a profile. Eventually, the user base expanded to high school students as well as faculty and staff at schools and universities. MySpace was created in 2004, and it eventually expanded into one of the most popular websites. Websites like Facebook and MySpace have really busted into the scene in the past few years. On a traditional “money” standpoint, these sites are sitting goldmines. News Corporation purchased MySpace for 580 million US Dollars. Likewise, Facebook owners were offered $900 million dollars by Yahoo!. Social networking is quickly becoming a rich internet business with great incentive. It’s the newer, more popular incarnation of Geocities.

RTFM!
PC Mech :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
Most software comes with reference documentation of some sort. My guess is that most people throw the printed manuals away with the box and never bother to read the online versions, even though they are just a click away on the help menu. For most part, you can get away with not reading documentation. But there is a downside in not doing so. First, you end up asking for unnecessary support. Second, you may not even know of some of the program’s best features. Don’t believe me? I will prove my point with an example.

Thermaltake Mini Typhoon Value Pack
Tech Gear :: Wednesday, October 11, 2006
“>”Looking at the results this cooler is certainly something worth considering, actually it’s quite a surprise to see such excellent results for a low cost solution. These results fall into the same league as the more expensive solutions. This is all down to the pure copper heatsink and 92mm fan which operates at a particularly high rpm speed not to mention the excellent 6 copper pipes which lead from the base to the fins. During use the Typhoon is quite loud but only mainly due to those 3000rpm satellite…”
