Angel Eye USA - Revision 2 Bay - Reservoir @ SystemCooling

"If you frequent any water-cooling forums, one subject that comes up from time to time is the air won’t bleed out of a high flow system when a reservoir is used. The folks over at AngelEye sent us over a Revision 2 Bay-Res that helps to address that problem. After some reservoir discussion, we will take a closer look at the features and see how it performs."

NEC-Mitsubishi LCD1760NX @ Raptor-Mods

"A while back the standard consensus on LCD's was "they are no good for gaming". Well I would like to say that times have changed and now with response times coming down as low as 16ms they can now easily be compared to even the sharpest of CRT's. Today I will be reviewing thanks to NEC Mitsubishi the, LCD1760NX."

AOpen AK77-400 MAX KT400a Motherboard @ WinHQ

"Back when I owned a KT400 board in early 2003, I ran into some severe hard drive corruption issues when I overclocked into high front side busses of 190MHz and above. This was because the KT400 lacked the ability to lock the PCI bus or a 1/6 divider. Well, not much has changed unfortunately. Since this board does not officially support a 200MHz FSB, there is no 1/6 divider."

Gainward Ultra 1600XP Review @ Ninjalane

"One of the most talked about parts of any computer is the video card and one particular card that has gotten a lot of press is the GeForce FX from nVidia. The reason behind the press is partially due to the lack product releases between the Ti series and FX. Granted there was the NV30 (FX5800) but it never really made a market debut and was quickly replaced."

Showshifter PVR On Your PC Review @ Ascully

"If you read our site regularly you will know that I am a fan of HTPC (Home Theatre Personal Computer). In my quest to build the perfect machine I have been looking around at the different options for a decent interface that will enable me to watch/capture TV and do all the other multimedia tasks such as watch DVD's, browse pictures, listen to music, and watch video files. Showshifter, the home media center is the latest in a long line of products I have tried and I have to say I am pretty impressed. In this article we will take a look at Showshifter and how it can be incorporated into your home theatre environment. Throw away that TIVO, the era of the HTPC is now!"

Blue UV Reactive PSU Mod @ Blynk

"We want to modify everything that we can in our cases. The power supply is something that is often overlooked and not considered important. There are a few things you can do to modify the looks of your power supply. The two most popular are to paint it or to install an acrylic power supply mod. Today we’ll be looking at a Blue UV Sensitive PSU Mod from Jab-Tech."

DFI LanParty II nForce 2 Ultra 400 MotherBoard @ Hexus

"In conclusion, then, one of the finer nForce2 Ultra 400 boards if features, individuality and bundle is high on your list of priorities. Tentative pricing puts it at around £120, so it's not particularly cheap and the competition is intense, yet it's aimed at a niche market. Almost perfect if its qualities are just what you're after."

Panasonic CW-8122-B Slimline Combo Drive Review @ BigBruin

"With Small Form Factor (SFF) computer systems being released in housings small enough to misplace or mistake for an external drive enclosure, the components required for use inside these systems must obviously shrink, too. One fairly simple solution for providing compact drives to a mini system is to borrow from the notebook computer industry. Some SFF case manufacturers are relying on the use of notebook components to help reduce size, and the Morex Cubid 3688 Mini-ITX case recently reviewed at BigBruin.Com is a perfect example of this."

Gigabyte Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB with DDR-II @ TweakTown

"Video cards seem to be one of those items that the market can’t get enough of. New cards are released every six months thanks to the tough competition between ATI and nVidia and any other company who dares to join the rat race. ATI’s latest flagship model, the Radeon 9800, is the successor to the old speed king from ATI, the Radeon 9700 Pro."

Akasa Crystal Blue Acrylic Case @ SystemCooling

"Acrylic cases are nothing new; they come in an assortment of different colours, shapes and sizes. But if you think you’ve seen them all then think again. Today I’ll be showing you a brand new case from Akasa, the AK MCHCB Crystal Blue. And what makes the Crystal Blue special is that fact that it’s built for a micro-ATX motherboard and it’s been flipped totally upside down."

Swiftech MCW5000 CPU Water-Block @ Viper Lair

"As CPUs run hotter, enthusiasts are trying to find ways to keep things running cool. The cheapest method is to simply buy a good heatsink, and slap a powerful fan on top of it. Though this will do the job, in many cases noise is the side effect, as a powerful air solution will make enough noise to wake the neighbours. Phase change cooling is another method of keeping things cool (almost subzero cool in some cases), but it is one of the more expensive methods of cooling your CPU."

2 Port KTI USB Pocket KVM Switch @ MonkeyReview

"On the block today is the 2 port KTI Pocket USB KVM Switch. We’ve looked at tons of hardware here at MonkeyReview and one thing that each product has had in common is that they’re generally designed to be used on only one system at a time. Today, this changes."

XPCases X-Superalien Aluminum Case Review @ OCAddiction

"Not too long ago OCA brought you the first edition of its Project Case Mod article, where we took a new Antec Plus View 1000 AMG case and showed you step-by-step what tools to use and the simple procedures necessary to "soup up" an ordinary PC case with aftermarket kits and lights. Well, what if you simply don't have the time to dedicate to such a case mod project, or frankly don't have the skills or necessary tools to begin one? Does that mean you're permanently left out of the cool group of guys and gals who have huge lit cases with windows, blowholes, and mini LCD screens?"

Mushkin PC3200 Level II Dual Pack @ EOC

"Dual channel memory controllers have definitely become a basic requirement in the last few months. Chipsets such as NVIDIA's nForce 2 and Intel's 875, 865, and E7205 all support dual 64-bit memory controllers. The tough task is finding memory that will overclock well in these systems. One of the problems with the Intel chipsets is that they do not like to run in dual channel at high DDR speeds with aggressive memory timings. So the search for the perfect memory for our ASUS P4C800 Deluxe continues. Today, we are going to take a look at Mushkin's PC3200 Level II 512MB Dual Pack."
