Akasa AllInOne Control Panel at techPowerUp:

The internal USB and Firewire cables are of high quality and you may choose to connect the AllInOne ports directly to the mainboard header or route them through the back of the case to the outside plugs. These cables should be long enough for most cases, even full tower ones. The audio connector needs to be routed out the back to your sound card. There is a simply reason for this. It may be easiest to supply a mainboard header, but would make it impossible to use with a seperate sound card.


Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer soundcard at Bit-tech:

The Creative X-Fi XtremeGamer is the new addition to a refreshed X-Fi range and is equivalent to your stripped down, super lean, bare basics X-Fi that still features all the necessary gaming additives. It still has the same X-Fi processor and 2MB of on-board memory cache necessary for processor operations, although it's missing the full 64MB X-RAM that's featured on the Fatal1ty and Elite Pro models.


ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe motherboard at Phoronix:

When checking out the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi a year ago, Fedora Core 5 was the latest and greatest with the Linux 2.6.17 kernel. Back then the open-source drivers had worked great and the only issue we had run into was with LM_Sensors not detecting all of the hardware sensors. Today with Fedora 7 and the Linux 2.6.21 kernel we had no problems to speak of with this motherboard other than the WiFi drivers for the integrated 802.11g. When using the latest version of LM_Sensors you also shouldn't have any problems with the hardware monitoring. Along with Fedora 7, Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn has been tested with this motherboard to confirm that it does work and is a first-rate experience. Solaris Express Community Edition and Solaris Express Developer Edition should also work fine with this motherboard. You can see Linux benchmarks for the ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe WiFi in our original article as well.


Antec Notebook Power Adapter at ThinkComputers:

The Antec power adapter is really easy to setup. All you have to do is plug the power cord into the adapter, select your output voltage, put on the connector that corresponds with your notebook, plug it in and your good to go. If you have done this correctly the blue LED on the adapter will turn on and the adapter will power your notebook.


SilverStone Temjin TJ09 case at BRnR:

The next thing your eyes are drawn to, is the primary innovation of the SilverStone TJ09, and the reason why there's no intake grille on the front of the case: a large duct with a countersunk, angled grille resides on each side of the case, in the lower front corner of the side panel. Peer through the section of the duct with the grille, and you'll see the hard drive gage with a plastic tray in the middle. You'll also notice that this half of the duct is sealed in the back, leaving the center of the duct open like a baffle. When you see a meshed screen inside the rear half of the duct, that's when it hits you.


SunbeamTech Freezing Storm ATX Enclosure at Virtual-Hideout:

The Freezing Storm comes in two flavors: one is Silver and the other is Black, and the one I have for review is black. Like always, I start off with the bezel and on this enclosure from top to bottom, the bezel is slotted and looks like a louvered vent. The bezel has seven external bays: five of them are 5.25" bays and two are 3.5" bays. The lower 2/3rds has the Power/Reset switch with clear rings around the switch that glow when in use, and the lower vents are for the front fan intake. On the right side of the bezel are the front panel I/O connections, which are two USB ports and the Audio ports.


Coolink Silentator CPU Cooler at Rbmods:

The first thing I noticed about the Silentator is its size; it’s quite a bit bigger than most of the coolers I’ve come across. The fan is a 120mm fan, which is pretty large considering most fans are either 80 or 100mm for CPU coolers. Obviously, with its large size comes added weight; the cooler actually exceeds the 450g weight specification established by Intel and AMD. However, the cooler comes with a special mounting system dubbed “SecuFirm” which provides added pressure to ensure safe transportation.


Kingston KHX11000D3LLK2/2G DDR3 memory at GideonTech:

With the standards for DDR2 going from 400mbps to 800mbps to gain speeds, venders and users have been overclocking their RAM. Now with DDR3 the standard is 800mbps to 1600mbps, a notable jump in performance. The voltage for the modules are also lower going from a 1.8v standard down to 1.5v.


Graphics Card Repair Guide Rev. 2.0 at Tech ARP:

Now before we start on the guide, let's take a look at the sacrificial victims. We have two damaged NVIDIA graphics cards on our hands. One is missing a 1 microhenry SMD choke with a bent capacitor. The other has one capacitor's legs torn off the pad with another capacitor that got torn off its pad.


XFX nForce 680i SLI motherboard at Bit-tech:

Everything is given the black treatment, which should suit most people, and even the complete complement of six SATA cables get little black dust caps for the ends (Awww - Ed.). The three six SATA power adapters have 90 degree ends to them, and are keyed so as the cables angle upwards towards the PSU (assuming you have a standard ATX case with PSU in the top). This is a nice touch, and the one Molex to two SATA plugs keeps the needed Molex connectors to a minimum.
