Danger Den MC-TDX 775 CPU Waterblock @ OCModShop

Comments: 0January 12th, 2008 by Kristofer

 

With all the new dual core and quad core processors in the market now a days using more and more power and producing more and more heat, many people need to upgrade their cooling, as well. For many, stock coolers work just fine, but what if you have a water-cooling system?

I`ve been running the Danger Den (DD) kit for a few years, and they have never left me behind. I love my old TDX block, but now the guys at DD have come up with something new: the Danger Den MC-TDX, which is specifically made for quad-core processors. I have yet to find out what the “MC” means in the MC-TDX means but I figure it stands for “Multi Core”.

Comments: 0January 12th, 2008 by Kristofer

  

OCIA.net has posted their review of the Western Digital Caviar SE16 500GB HDD.  Below is a direct quote from the review:

“With drives as large as 1TB (that’s a terabyte, you know… 1024GB) available in mainstream technology, the once considered monstrous 500 giggers now seem like pocket change and are the budget user’s choice buy. Today we’re going to have a look at Western Digital’s 500GB Caviar SE16 (WD5000AAKS) drive, one of the most popular drive for system builders lately.“

Goldmund’s Media Room: A Dream For Audiophiles @ Phoronix

Comments: 0January 12th, 2008 by Kristofer

Title: Goldmund’s Media Room: A Dream For Audiophiles @ Phoronix
Direct Link: http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=11685
Summary: “Last week I had received a unique CES invitation from Rogers &
Cowan, a PR firm representing an array of entertainment and technology
companies, about one of their clients that advertises itself as the
makers of the “world’s most extravagant and technologically advanced
systems for audio-video purists.” For the Consumer Electronic Show,
participating companies will either have a booth or suite somewhere in
Las Vegas, but that wasn’t the case for Goldmund, this Rogers & Cowan
client that specializes in high-end audio/video systems. Their systems
are so advanced that they simply cannot be built in a day or even a
week, but for each of their media rooms they spend extensive time
planning and constructing the rooms that are slated to be perfect, even
an imperfect world. With that said, it was easier and more cost
effective for Goldmund to just have four other writers and I check out
their luxurious home theater systems in a demonstration home near Los
Angeles.”

Comments: 0January 12th, 2008 by Kristofer

 

BurnOutPC.com has just posted a review on the SunbeamTech Freezing Storm

Quote
“It’s been a case bonanza the last few weeks here at BurnOutPC. We’ve looked at two Antec cases, two revoltec cases, and now it’s time for Sunbeamtech to step into the game and see what their made of. Sunbeamtech has been around for a while now. At first only active in the casemodding scene, but later with unique high performance products under their subsidiary brand Tuniq. Sunbeam has had a few cases in their assortment already, one of those is the Freezing Storm.”
