Spire Pininfarina Designed SP-ATX-PALU/S™ Enthusiast Computer Case Review
Tweaknews :: Monday, September 11, 2006
“Did the Pininfarina hold up to my tire-kicking? Yes, it did, and overall, I’m very impressed with the case. The fit and finish is excellent, the design is well-thought out, and like an exotic car, nothing is included that doesn’t benefit from actual usage. A sleek look, useful PCI card retention, and swing-out case sides make this one a winner.”

Apack Zerotherm BTF80 Aluminum Heatpipe Intel/AMD Processor Cooler Review
Tweaknews :: Monday, September 11, 2006
“Having previously reviewed Apack’s ZEROtherm BTF-90, I expected good performance from their BTF-80 cooler as well. I wasn’t disappointed. While it is much lighter than the copper BTF-90, it’s no lightweight when it comes to performance. It is also relatively quiet and the red LEDs reflecting off of the aluminum fins give it a distinctive look.”
ECS 945G-M3 Viiv Motherboard
Viper Lair :: Monday, September 11, 2006
“While aimed at being the basis for a media PC, there are a few omissions on the board that make other boards more attractive for this purpose. No DVI (and therefore no possibility of DVI to HDMI) is a pretty glaring one, as with only an analog 15 pin D-Sub onboard, you will still need to purchase a third party PCIe 16x graphics card. Thankfully there are plenty of cards in the marketplace that can compliment this mATX boards silent approach but be aware that adding a graphics card will likely prohibit use of the 1x PCIe slot, something that won’t currently be a big issue for most.”
Apple MacPro Video Tour
Digital Trends :: Monday, September 11, 2006
“Apple’s Intel Core Duo Mac Pro desktop machine is one impressive piece of machinery. We were blown away by it’s performance and it’s price. The case looks identical to previous generations, like the G5 PowerMacs, but the case it’s still a sweet case. They did make some improvements to the internals, making it much easier to upgrade or replace memory, hard drives and the video card. ”

E6300 and E6400 Core 2 Duo Review
Neoseeker :: Tuesday, September 12, 2006
“The E6300 sits at the bottom of Intel’s Desktop Core 2 lineup and despite being a brand new chip, can be had for less than $200 from major online retailers. It’s clocked at 1.86 GHz, just over 2GHz less than the 2.16 GHz E6400 which can be had for under $250. As brand new chips, these prices are incredible and will doubtless make these CPU’s the subject of high demand for quite some time.”

Crucial Ballistix DDR2 PC2 8000 (1000Mhz) 2 gig kit Review
Xtreme Computing :: Sunday, September 10, 2006
Obviously there are better 2 gig kits on the market with tighter timings, but in this price range the memory is spot on with the crucial being nearly a whole 1/3 cheaper than the lower latency modules. That for me despite the lower timings of the pricier kits makes this kit ideal for those that want speed but are on a tighter budget.
