OCZ PowerStream 520W Power Supply Review at 3DX

Published by Newsfactory 0

The OCZ 520 Watt PSU is a rock. Once we got the chance to experience the power of the PowerStream Power Supply first hand it?s no wonder why this is the hottest PSU on the market. With our Ultra X-Connect and PowerStream 470 Watt Power Supplies the best overclock we could muster with our 3500+ was 2.4 GHz while running the memory 1:1. With this PSU we managed to push higher to a maximum overclock of 278 x 9 for a max CPU clock of 2.502 GHz. The OCZ 520 Power Supply is THE Power Supply to have. Whether you are looking to overclock or just want a stable source of power, the OCZ 520 Watt PSU will fit the bill.

Sunbeam Case and General Lighting Accessories

Published by Newsfactory 0

Following on from their review of Sunbeam's innovative Chameleon light controller, 3DVelocity have rounded up a few more interesting products from the Sunbeam catalogue.

Buying the case is only half the story these days though, for many people the next step is to add a window in the side panel (if it didn't come with one), and create a lighting setup inside that would make Pink Floyd jealous. Lighting is the evolution of the custom case craze, and one without the other is like bread without butter.

Steel CaseThe first eyecatcher is the reflecting surface of the case , which looks like a mirror. Even the the materials surface inside is reflecting. The processing is good , especially if considering that this a is not coming from a massproduction. Steel Case Review A+ Clio Jr. Airdesign Miditower The solution seems to be a case in air design.

Chameleon light bus

Published by [NT] 3

We can all get bored with our cases, no matter how great they look, but what if we could change the lighting at the turn of a dial? We review the Sunbeam Chameleon which lets you do just that.

Quote: " Picture the scene. You've spent all day lovingly installing your case window and lights. You've meticulously routed all the cables stealthily out of sight. You've obliterated the local DIY store's stock of cable ties and spiral wrap and you've polished away every last fingerprint to the point that even a crack forensics team wouldn't find anything.
You sit back and, with a smug grin, you fire up your machine. It looks spectacular, but somewhere deep in the back of your mind a little voice whispers "you know, I think it might have looked better lit blue"
