Cooler Master Real Power Pro 650W Power Supply at ThinkComputers:

The power snake, as I will call forevermore the cords coming out of non-modular PSU, is braided for your visual pleasure and your case's aerodynamics. The unit has six SATA connectors on two lines, and five 4-pin peripheral connectors and one floppy connector on two lines. The 24-pin motherboard connector, two PCI-e connectors, and a 4- and 8-pin CPU connector are all own their own lines.


Samsung 275T 27-inch Wide-Screen LCD at Techgage:

The best way to get a grasp on the differences without seeing the monitors is to compare a monitors total pixel count. Whereas a 1280x1024 resolution offers 1.31 Megapixels, 27" monitors with 1920x1200 resolutions offer 2.30 Megapixels, a very large gain. For the ultimate in workspace on a single monitor, 30"s and their 2560x1600 resolutions offer a staggering 4.09 Megapixels.


June High-end Gaming PC Buyer's Guide at Sharky Extreme:

The foundation of any gaming system begins with a high quality case and power supply, and this is doubly important with a $2500 budget. We list these selections first, across all three of our buyer's guides, to help stress the relative importance of system enclosures and that these provide the base for the other components. Aesthetics certainly count for something, but usability, features, craftsmanship, and real estate also figure into the overall ranking. It is very likely that the system case will outlast just about any other component in your PC, so it makes sense to give it special attention.


USBGeek USB Drum Kit at DragonSteelMods:

Well the USB Drum Kit is very visually entertaining as well as physically fun. All of my kids, even the baby loved to play with it, the entire family has lots of fun. I gave it to my kids for their computer and they play with it almost everyday now.


Inno3D GeForce 8600 GTS iChill video card at Overclocker Cafe:

Notice how the cooler intakes air in from the fan and blows it out on both ends. This breaks away from the traditional rear exhaust we see so often now. The thin aluminum fins look to offer up a good deal of surface area for cooling. As we already mentioned, exhaust is out both ends so while you won't be blowing the card's warm air outside of the case, you will be creating some turbulence of the case air. This will help keep you from having stagnant pockets of warm air over some of the mainboard components. The downside of this is that you're circulating warm air in doing so. Shifting gears a bit, don't let the cooler detract your attention away from the gold plated DVI connectors of the connection end and the 6-pin PCI-E power plug on the other.


Scythe Katana II SCKTN-2000 Heatsink at FrostyTech:

The Katana II heatsink uses three 6mm diameter copper heatpipes to conduct heat from a thin 4mm thick copper base plate to the 51 slanted aluminum fins above. Since the aluminum fins are slanted about 10° downwards, exhaust airflow is directed right at motherboard power circuitry, or northbridge chipset. The added airflow simply helps to further reduce board level component temperatures.


Thermaltake BachVx Case at 3DGameMan:

When I first saw the Thermaltake BachVx Case I thought Home Theatre PC, because of its piano-black paint finish and brushed aluminum silver front. This case would look excellent next to audio/video gear. There are plenty of drive bays for a mid-tower case, tool-free design and excellent ventilation. I really like the fact they have a large 140mm intake fan at the front of the case. There are even two USB ports, a mic and headphone jack, as well as a eSATA port at the top of the case. Watch the video to find out more and check out the bloopers at the end.


ECS AMD690GM-M2 AMD 690G Motherboard at PCStats:

The ECS AMD690GM-M2 supports AMD Sempron and Athlon64 X2/FX processors which use the Socket AM2 form factor. There are two DDR2 DIMM slots for a maximum of 4GB of DDR2-800 memory. Onboard video encompasses both a DVI and analog monitor connection, but regrettably not HDMI. HDMI is supported by the chipset, but if the manufacturer does not implemented a jack you're going to have to find a DVI-to-HDMI converter cable yourself. Integrated goodies include Gigabit network card, 7.1 channel High Definition Azalia compatible sound card, ten USB 2.0 slots, four Serial ATA II ports which support RAID modes 0, 1 and 0+1.


July contest at Hi-Techreviews:

Hi-Tech Reviews with the assistance OCZ Tech are proud to present our "July Contest". We are going to present some lucky winner with a OCZ GameXtreme 1010 watt Power Supply.


OCZ VBoost USB Flash Drive at Benchmark Reviews:

In order to keep the record straight, lets go over some basic math and science. System memory (RAM) is usually has a response speed measured in single-digit nanoseconds; and keep in mind that a nanosecond is one billionth of a second. Flash Memory is usually in the low single-digit millisecond range, and at one-thousandth of a second the millisecond is nearly a million times slower than the low nanosecond response time of RAM.
