GlacialTech IGLOO 5610 Series CPU Cooler @ TweakTown

Comments: 0January 3rd, 2008 by Kristofer

NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) – GlacialTech IGLOO 5610 Series CPU Cooler

QUOTE: “Moving onto the card itself, the front looks a bit weird with a large plate covering most of the front and three little pipes heading out the top and going around the back. To the right of the card you can also see a heatsink covering some of the hotter components on the card.

The specifications for the 5610 is lower than that of the 5710 so we are not going to be looking at stellar performance numbers, but honestly how low can a product line go. The 5710 were not great performers and border the low end of what a modern day CPU should use for aftermarket cooling performance. With that said though, let’s have a look at the specs and see if the GlacialTech 5610 can surprise us.”

GeForce 8800 GT Round-Up: Asus, EVGA, MSI @ HotHardware.com

Comments: 0January 3rd, 2008 by Kristofer

As you all know, availability is still tight for the GeForce 8800 GT, but we thought it was time to round a few cards up for a benchmark fest.  We’ve got factory-overclocked GeForce 8800 GT cards from Asus, EVGA, and MSI in house, the EN8800GT TOP, the e-GeForce 8800 GT KO, and the NX8800GT, respectively.  At their most basic level, all three of these cards are quite similar, but each company does put their own spin on the GeForce 8800 GT in an effort to differentiate their product from the competition.  Which one does the best job remains to be seen.  Come on by the site and check them out…

Creative ZEN Vision:M Media Player @ TechDomain

Title: Creative ZEN Vision:M Media Player Review @ TechDomain

Quote: These days, those who don’t own an MP3 player are somewhat becoming the minority. Boasting more accessories than an R&B artist, MP3 players are becoming quite a fashion statement. We require these portable jukeboxes to be stylish, light weight, and attrictive, whilst giving us the envy of all our friends.
When most people think MP3 players, they think iSomethings… Thats a bit to obvious, lets try *Pods. Whilst the *Pod might have the majority of the market share, there are other players on the market, such as iRiver, Samsung or Creative. Heir in lies the question; are the compeditors offerings are as good if not better than the market leader?

Why the Wii Zapper Sucks @ OCModShop

Comments: 0January 3rd, 2008 by Kristofer

 

Yes I proclaim that the Wii Zapper sucks. Why, one might ask? Well, I bought one hoping that somehow it would be like the old NES Zapper that came with the old gaming console (bundled together with Super Mario and Duck Hunt), or just slightly like the bazooka you got with the SNES console, but Im afraid it turns out to be nothing more than an expensive piece of plastic, just because it’s branded…

Ive heard horror stories of the Zapper before, but thought why not check it out myself, so I got the darn thing and took a closer look.

Asus 8800GT Top Videocard Review:

 

Link: http://www.rbmods.com/Articles/Asus/8800gt_top/1.php

Quote: Today we take a look at one of the most talked about videocard on the market. You got it, we have the 8800GT card on our test bench today. To make things even more interesting it is also the Top version from Asus which is already overclocked so we are expecting some real performance from this card. We are also going to look at noise and temperatures to really see if this card is worth the 250$ that it costs out on the market.
