| Thermaltake V1 CPU Cooler |
 In our last test session we made a run with the Thermaltake MaxOrb and found that it performed better than any of the other coolers we have tested thus far. Today we will be taking a look at another Thermaltake product that is sure to rock our testing charts.

| PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 EPS12V Power Supply |
|
Silencer 610 EPS12V is a 610 W power supply from PC Power & Cooling using the traditional PC power supply design with a single 80-mm fan on its rear side. Besides its Spartan looks this unit features active PFC, two video card power connectors for SLI and CrossFire, EPS12V connector and is labeled at 40º C, so the manufacturer guarantees that you will truly get 610 W of power. In fact, this unit came with a testing report generated by a Chroma 8000 machine (probably the most high-end power supply load tester available today), showing that not only this unit can deliver its 610 W but it can peak up to 680 W. As usual, we completely disassembled this power supply to take an in-depth look on its design and components. |
| ASUS Eee PC: Exclusive Inside Look! |
|
We decided that once the finalized product is out, there will be streams of people out there doing similar types of reviews, telling you how fast it runs and what its benefits are along with how it should be used. I can already sum that up in two sentences. It’s cheap, it’s functional and it doesn’t take up a lot of space. It can fulfill the basics that you need a PC for, and it is wireless so you can connect to the web easily. What more do you need? |
| Phantasmic Case Modification Guide Part 2 |
 We continue our Phantasmic Case Modification in this guide where we add a lot of detail and show you how to apply special paints, special effects, and even case window etching. The end result in part two is a great looking dramatic case that the women will likely love. |
| Users Demand Upgrade from Vista To XP |
 Admittedly, I find myself amused with the latest Vista sales numbers,
as they seem to forget how many of those same people are disgusted once
they break the seal and want to take Vista back. |
| Dell Could Be A Big Key In Linux Adoption |
Better hardware support - this is something we would all like to see
happen. And it seems that it could happen, thanks in part to a Dell
supported project known as DKMS (Dynamic Kernel Module Support). |

|

| Kingwin Z1 External HDD Enclosure Review |
|
Overall these Kingwin Z1 hard drive enclosures are of good quality and the kit includes everything you need to get up and running other than the hard drive itself. The ability to use wither USB 2.0 or e-SATA is a nice option if you're switching between maybe a main rig with e-SATA and an older rig with only USB ports. |
| ASUS Maximus Formula Special Edition |
|
We took a look at the Blitz Formula and Extreme boards from ASUS just over two months ago, and now we have the X38 version of those boards on the bench today. In addition to featuring a Northbridge waterblock, it also has "extreme" overclocking ability and a great bundle. |
| AMD DTX Specification System Preview |
|
Over the past ten months AMD has brought the DTX specification from a design on paper to an actual product that works. It is obvious that AMD is listening to market demands, as just this year alone they have announced low-wattage 45W desktop processor offerings and the DTX specification that will help make HTPC's smaller, cooler and quieter. Now that AMD has gotten the ball rolling industry partners such as Albatron, Asus, Cooler Master, ECS, Gigabyte, MSI, Silverstone, and Thermaltake need to pick up the DTX form factor and run with it. |
