Subject: Thermaltake Toughpower 1000Watt Power Supply Review @ Ninjalane
URL: http://www.ninjalane.com/display.aspx?docname=toughpower1k

Quote: A few short years ago a 500 watt power supply was considered more than you will ever need. However as technology advances so does the power requirements. With today’s Quad core processors, dual and quad graphics cards and of course the array of water pumps, fans and drives, 500 watts just won’t do.

Summary:
Our review of Olympus SP-570UZ camera, a camera that looks line an SLR but doesn’t have interchangeable lenses. Is this a good solution? Check it out.

Here is a snippet:
“The Olympus SP-570UZ (Ultra Zoom) is an unusual breed in the camera lineup. Because it doesn’t have interchangeability of lenses like a SLR (single lens reflex) camera, it is technically a point-and-shoot camera. Yet it offers many features that are commonly found in more expensive digital SLR cameras. We set out to find out whether a half-breed of this type would be valuable.”

Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 Motherboard Review

Author: Benjamin Sun Date: 09-22-2008

The Gigabyte EP45-DQ6 has all of the features you would want from a motherboard based upon the Intel P45 and more. The board is so feature-laden in fact that I would have to say it’s a bit over the top compared with most of its competition. Having Ten SATA ports, 8 USBs on the rear IO and four Gigabit LANs would make this the most feature-rich P45 I’ve ever seen. The addition of features like DES and the multiple settings in the BIOS make this a serious contender in the marketplace. From a performance point of view the board is right up there with other P45 chipset making this board an Editor’s choice as the features bring it to the next level.

Date: 09-22-2008 By VladWhen it comes to sound, Two Worlds - Epic Edition is adequate. The same can be said about the graphics. So if you’re only interested in the latest releases of eye candy, this game (even with its epic edition) will not satisfy you. This game does however have a couple of tricks up its sleeves. First of all, the story was not bad at all. It is the traditional RPG genre of good vs. evil, but than again, what isn’t? For anything to be successful there has to be a protagonist and an antagonist. But the most important reason why you should consider this game is the multiplayer aspect.

Review Snipit:
“Of course right now there are many companies out there producing  gaming mice, and they all are different in one way or another, which one is the best? I’m not sure really, but today I’ve got one that I consider one of  the best. It comes from a company that’s well known for quality made products, NZXT, it’s their first foray into the mousing arena. Is it worth your money? I think so… read on ”

We have just taken a look at iStarUSA T5F-SS Trayless SATA/SAS Rack.  This is an internal Hard Drive enclosure that takes up a 5.25in bay and allows you to install your favorite SATA or SAS drive and make it easily and readily available for hot-swap functions.  The beauty of this unit is that it doesn’t have a tray to install on your drive.  See what we mean as you take a look at our review for all the details.

NEW CONTENT (Casing & Cooling) - Thermaltake V14 Pro CPU Cooler

QUOTE: “The V14 Pro is a redesign of the Thermaltake V1 we reviewed back in December 2007. At the time the V1 proved to dominate the retail coolers from both AMD and Intel and even outperformed the Thermaltake MAX by a small margin in load testing. Since then, Heatpipe Direct Touch (HDT) coolers have emerged as the next great cooling technology and Thermaltake needed to increase performance to stay competitive in the highly contested CPU cooler market.

The Thermaltake V14 Pro was born out of this need and on paper looks to be a contender for dominance in CPU cooler performance. With a massive 140mm fan that is capable of running up to 1600 RPMs, six heatpipes, up from the four used on the V1 and standing an impressive 161mm tall, Thermaltake may just have a contender for the crown of best CPU cooler tested here at TweakTown.”

NEW CONTENT (News) - GIGABYTE shows us final design X58 Extreme mobo

QUOTE: “Today we got a close up look at the final design that will ship to customers, besides the heatsink cooling setup, which GIGABYTE is still keeping under wraps for the moment - and this one is an actual working live sample. Besides the physical changes to the board layout, on this board and others, GIGABYTE will be introducing “Ultra Durable 3”. GIGABYTE has already tweaked their boards to what we thought was the max and we really thought there wasn’t much more left to improve, but we were wrong.

UD3 adds two 2 ounce copper layers to the 12-layer PCB motherboard – one is a ground layer and the other is a power layer. We got a chance to see the actual copper layers that slot into the regular PCB compared to normal one ounce copper layers, but we are not allowed to show you until the actual launch tomorrow. These thicker copper layers create less resistance (impedance) by up to two times, creating better electrical current flow according to GIGABYTE. In their labs, engineers measured a 50 degree Celsius drop in temperature in the hottest parts of the motherboard (mosfets around the CPU).”

Article Snippet:

“At first I thought there is no way that LED technology can make up for the cost difference when compared to a standard panel lit LCD TV. Boy did the LN-T4681F take those thoughts, write them down on a sheet and paper and shred them to confetti right before my eyes.”
