If you want extreme performance from your air cooled system then this Tornado fan might be what you need. The generated noise is equally extreme, that´s why Vantec recommends the use of a fan controller; in this review Madshrimps takes a look at the NXP-205 fan controller used in combination with their high CFM CPU/Case fan.

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Logisys Stove Fan. Below is a direct quote from the review:

Since computer case modding has become such a huge fad, manufacturers have been thinking of ways to up the ante with lights and all sorts of fancy gizmos to pull at a modder's wallet. Fans have become not just a means of cooling your computer, but a style all their own.

So you've decided to add some lighting mods to that cool new case of yours, but you're not sure what color lighting to go with. Well with SunBeamTech's Chameleon controller you don't have to decide. You simply dial in the color you want, be it red, green, blue, or any other color you can come up with.

OCAU looks at five coolers for P4 CPUs, in the "this is getting silly" size range. On test we have Thermaltake's Silent Tower, Cooler Master's Hyper 6, Gigabyte's 3D Rocket, Zalman's CNPS7000B-Cu and Thermalright's XP-120. We test with two CPUs, one Prescott and one Northwood, and also consider the two stock coolers. Many of these coolers also fit AMD CPUs, so it's worth a read for fans of either brand.

Hiper have launched a treo of power supplies for those who value looks, power and a price tag that shows some mercy. 3DVelocity got to try them out.

The new generation PCI Express based videocards are here to stay, they are going to become more and more attractive in 2005. Thats why we've decided to get a few videocards to check are they so good as everybody is claiming them to be... we got 4 models from different vendors at HWspirit's test lab: Albatron 6600, Canyon 6600, Gainward 6600GT and Gecube X700 Pro. And we definetly were quite surprised by the results and some interesting facts that we discovered druging the testing process.

It's fast, it provides low latencies, it comes in a blow-up bag... what more do you want? HEXUS.net have a review of Mushkin's Level II PC3200 memory modules.

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.

ATI?s Mobility Radeon 9800 platform was announced late July, and since then Dell have been shipping them in their high end mobile gaming platform. Mobility Radeon 9800, for the first time, offered an 8 rendering pipeline, 256-bit memory bussed DirectX9 graphics capabilities to the ?mobile? platform, which was basically similar to last years high end desktop configuration.

OCAU looks at Intel's 925XE chipset , supporting LGA775 CPUs, PCI-Express, DDR2 memory and, most importantly, a 1066MHz FSB. The motherboard in question is Intel's D925XECV2, which offers more tweaking and overclocking than we expect from an Intel board. To push this board to its limits, we used three CPUs, including the 1066MHz-FSB 3.46GHz Extreme Edition with 2MB L3 cache. The article also looks at the Matrix RAID feature which allows RAID0 and RAID1 at the same time, using only 2 drives.

LED mods have come along way from LED fans and replacement power indicator LEDS on your computer. Today we take a peek at two new LED products from SunBeamTech, their Lazer LEDs and the LED Projector.

NVIDIA's GeForce 6 range of cards just about covers the entire graphics market, from cheap and cheerful budget cards to wallet-destroying high-end SLI. Today, HEXUS.net takes a look at a card made by Inno3D that sits somewhere in the middle of those two extremes.

While this Power Supply retails for ~$75, for a 550W unit this is actually a very good price. The combination of sleeved cabling and quiet operation also makes this Power Supply a nice addition to any system. Aerocool has again provided a decent Power Supply and it won?t clean out your wallet in the process. I would recommend this Power Supply for just about any use.

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.

AMD's new 90nm Athlon 64 cores can bring great performance and ample overclocking headroom. HEXUS.net got a 600mhz overclock out of their 3000+ using stock cooling. Check out the review.

Yes you read it right !

Casebuy are a Taiwanese company normally associated with computer casing so when they recently contacted me asking if i wished to review any of their new products you can imagine my surprise when this arrived at my door.

OCIA.net has posted a review of the Waffer PC Aircon PAC 400. Below is a direct quote from the review:

With the Aircon installed in the bottom of the four 5.25" bays in my case, there is only about 1/4" of clearance from the bottom of the lower rom drive's tray. My fan controller and floppy drive are pretty much blocked off.

"The mCubed T-Balancer is not your average fan controller. With support for up to 8 digital sensors and the ability to program 4 fans separately, the fan controller could be the dream of anyone who needs to make his/her computer silent. We've put it to the test to see how it really works."

So you've got your computer case all set with a window, cold cathode lights, led fans connected to a Fanbus, and everything that could be used to customize your case. Have you ever thought you could do something with the thumb screws? Well SunBeamTech has you covered with their custom Theme Screws.

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. On the Cebit 2004 (we wrote about) maxpoit should such a prototyp of such a case , named A plus Clio jr , which match in someway the requierements of air design. Actually this case is also good for overclockers or modders. But we still take a look at it. Aircase Review Antec Phantom PSU The whole PSUs case is made out of aluminium and works as a enhanced heatsink , similar to the expensive Deltatronic Fanless PSU. A short look inside shows a very good processing quality of the used components. Every single source of heat is connected withthe heatsink which is connectet to the case. With that the components can transfer its heat directly to the case. even the requiered natural air convection is reduced to a minimum. Antec Phantom PSU Review
