Exams start tomorrow, with Thermo... at 8am in the morning! Crazy week.
Thermaltake Silent PurePower 420watt @ 3DGM.
The Thermaltake Silent PurePower 420watt Power Supply has all the power needed for almost any demanding PC user. Also, its surprising quiet, has quality construction and is very affordable. This product is definitely worth keeping at the very top of your list if you are in the market for a PSU. Watch the Video to find out more...
dBox case @ MTB.
The controller board is manufactured by 3R Systems and incorporates 10-speed fan control and an integrated LCD display module for displaying temperature readings. A series of interconnected wires on the left hand side connect all the switches, temperature probes and 2-pin fan headers together. Three different coloured LEDS represent each function of the controller board. The four green LEDS display temperature adjustment settings, the yellow LEDS identify which thermal channel is being monitored and the single red LED is for hard drive activity.
AMD3D and the MSI i845PE
Overclockers might find the BIOS a little limiting ... more voltages and CPU/RAM ratio would help. However, for many of us that want to overclock with ease and without all the hassle ... it's more than adequate. I was able to overclock my P4 -2.4Ghz to 3.0Ghz (18x167).
Altec Lansing 251 5.1 @ Tweaknews.
Bullets flying by your head, a bird singing to front of you, or a blood-thirsty demon reaching out for you from behind. All these PC gaming examples are what you will be missing when you game through a normal 2 speaker setup. Today's gaming market is bringing more and more advanced games with more submersive environments and with the improvements, games are being shipped with surround sound gaming support. In my view, what is the point of buying an expensive game and not taking full advantage of the key factor in your daily environment, sound. If you are in the market for a 5.1 speaker system upgrade and or are upgrading your soundcard to the latest surround soundcard, I will be reviewing today which in my books is the BEST value in surround sound gaming speaker setups, the Altec Lansing 251 system.
