Triplex TX-680 GeForce4 MX440-8X Review
VR-Zone has done up a review on the Triplex NV18 card which is no doubt one of the nicest card around. Triplex has gone one step further to set the core and memory clock higher than official speed recommended by NVIDIA. The usage of the faster 2.8ns DDR SDRAM on budget card like the NV18 is definitely interesting. From the default core and memory speed at 300/600Mhz, i am able to overclock the card to 390/740Mhz!

Xoxide Acrylic PC Case
TheTech Zone.com have posted a review of Xoxide's very cool looking acrylic PC case.
This case looks totally awesome, especially with lighted fans. I was very impressed with the five blowholes and great cooling performance. Putting the case together is not very hard at all. It only took me about an hour or so. I wish that the manual had been more detailed. I think that this case will be great for overclockers and gamers. Overall, I am very happy with this Acrylic PC tower.
