The Assassination Of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford DVD Review @ Ascully.com
Quote
“The look of the whole movie is gorgeous. There are a few camera tricks to give us some hints at the states of mind of certain characters, or maybe even tell us that what we are watching is through some tainted glass of history and storytelling. I’m not sure, but either way the whole thing is visually a treat. (‘Treat’ sounds so corny, but so true.)”

Title: SilverStone Kublai Series KL03 Case Review
Link: http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/521
Category: Reviews
Summary:
Our review of SilverStone Kublai KL03, a big extended ATX case featuring a hybrid steel/aluminum design, one hot swap port for hard disk drive and a unique cooling solution.
Here is a snippet:
“Launched under SilverStone Kublai series, KL03 is the latest case from this manufacturer, targeted to users that want a big case with high-end thermal performance but don’t want to buy a very expensive all-aluminum product, like the cases from Temjin series also from SilverStone. In fact KL03 is a hybrid product: its body is made of zinc-coated steel, but its frontal panel is made of aluminum.”

Brief:
The PowerColor HD 3870 SCS3 Edition is a completely passively cooled Radeon HD 3870. This makes the card an excellent choice for a quiet Media PC computer. What is really amazing is that the passive card runs up to 25?C cooler than the reference design which uses a fan.
Noctua has had some great success with their innovative PC case fans, and now they are introducing their first 92mm fan, dubbed the NF-B9.
The box contains several items to mount the unit and customize its performance. The fan is colored with Noctua’s signature brown and flesh theme, and the 3-pin fan is sleeved with black mesh to reduce kinking and ensure a long cord life. In addition to normal mounting screws are four vibration compensators, which are plastic pins that act similar to rubber or silicon grommets to help prevent vibration transfer between the fan and a PC case.

Review Spring have a new article on 3D LCD Monitors (specifically the Sharp LL-151D) which are able to provide a real depth experience without the need for any 3D glasses. Imagine being able to play Crysis or Bioshock in real 3D!
Quote : “3D LCD technology has existed since the very first commercial monitors were on sale, but they were prohibitively expensive and lacked the image quality of the current panel generation. The most popular form of 3D LCD technology is called “autostereoscopic technology†and is able to provide a 3D image without any glasses!
This technology works by diverting each column of pixels to an individual eye, essentially halving the vertical resolution but providing a unique image to each eye. By displaying a correctly rendered image on the monitor it is then possible to trick the brain into believing that the two 2D images are a single 3D scene.“
