| Antec True Blue Power Supply Review @ ReviewNation |
|
This PS looks like it's made for case moddin.
"Antec is well known in the industry for their high quality computer cases. They also make great power supplies that rival the likes of Enermax, Raidmax and Sparkle. Founded in 1986, and headquartered in Fremont California, Antec has been diversifying its product line to include computer cases, power supplies, rack mount enclosures and their popular LED-lighted fans. Today's review is centered on Antec's 480 Watt true blue power supply..."

| MSI 645E Max Motherbaord Review @ ReviewNation.com |
|
"For many of the readers frequenting Review Nation, the lack of Intel/Pentium 4 products had been troubling. Well that is all going to end now. MSI has been in the business of hardware for a long time. They are quite good at it, and they know how to best utilize your computer's resources. But, I suppose the largest part of why MSI has gained so much popularity as of late, is due largely to the small price put on products of extremely high quality. It's a bargain, it works and it lasts. This seems to be the motto of MSI, and it rightfully should be. But is this motherboard for you? Well it's a socket 478, Pentium 4 ready, brilliantly red piece of hardware. Its features are simply awe inspiring considering its price. Not to mention the ability to utilize DDR RAM instead of RDRAM, this is a welcome change for Pentium 4 users. And of course the board also comes with your standard motherboard fare..."

| Highpoint RocketRAID 404 Review @ ReviewNation.com |
|
"With the advent of large size/low cost hard drives, RAID is becoming more of a viable backup solution for end-users. What is RAID you say? Well it stands for Redundant Array of Independent (Inexpensive) Disks, a standard created in the 1980's at UC Berkeley. The idea is to replace a single hard drive with multiple drives with fault-tolerant data redundancy, invisible to the end-user. What used to be a server-only option is now available to the masses, at a low cost to the consumer. A prime example of this is the Highpoint RocketRAID 404 controller supplied to us by Highpoint Technologies..."

| 80mm Spiderman Fan Grill Review @ ReviewNation |
|
"I am sure that all of you are familiar with Spiderman and the Marvel brand of comics, as well as their action-figures. But you probably weren't aware of fan grills licensed from Marvel! Marvel has licensed these fan grills and they are made by a company called PcToys.
Today, we will take a look at one of the three types of fan grills offered; the Spiderman grill. The other varieties are the Punisher and Wolverine, which also hold many of the same characteristics as the Spiderman one."

| Nexland Pro800turbo ISB Review @ ReviewNation.com |
|
"After reviewing Nexland's Pro400, we were very proud when we were asked to review their Pro800 Turbo Internet Security Box. There are 2 main differences between the new Pro800 turbo and the Pro400. First, the Pro400 was only a 4 port router, while the Pro800 turbo is an 8 port version. The other main difference is that the new Pro800 turbo can take 2 internet connections and combine them into one, fast connection. Let's see how well this thing really works..."

| Powercooler PCH247S Review @ ReviewNation.com |
|
"As you may know, ReviewNation did an earlier review of the PCH247H, which received the mediocre score of 7/10. The HSF that we will be reviewing today will use that exact same heatsink, but we will replace the fan for increased performance, (as well as added noise). Powercooler refers to this CPU cooler as the PCH247S. But will this be enough, or will the HSF still fall short of what the other companies have to offer?..."

| Powercooler PCH247H @ ReviewNation.com |

"Powercooler is a company that is dedicated to providing quality computer cooling components, and has been doing so since 1989! They have a long history of cooling computers, but can they compete with other companies such as Thermaltake or OCZ?
On this day, we will be looking at a Powercooler PCH247H, which is rated to cool up to a 2 GHz CPU. Keep in mind that this is not their flagship cooler, thus probably not their best cooler..."

| OCZ Gladiator w/ 60mm Stealth Fan Review |
|
"I am sure that most of the overclockers out there with the loud delta's would welcome a heatsink/fan combo that gives very good performance at a low decibel rating (and don't want the expense of watercooling). Today, we will be test if this combo can use the benefits of pure copper fins and a low noise "stealth" fan to produce a "silent" and overclocker-friendly cooler..."

| Games You May Have Missed (Part 1) |
|
"It seems as though game prices are on the rise, and for the financially-challenged gamer, (like me,) this is a somewhat troubling trend. But fear not, there are plenty of great games that can be found in the good old bargain bin of your local software shop. This is the first installment in what I hope to be an ongoing series; a guide to help you sift through the trash and find the true gaming gems of the past
for cheap.
The first titles to be featured are Clive Barker's Undying and EA Game's Giants: Citizen Kabuto. I recently picked up these games for $8 apiece at a local Sam's Club, and what a deal that was. Both offer hours of gaming delight, and despite being a year or two old, look great..."

| Coolermaster Socket A HSF Shootout @ ReviewNation.com |
|
ReviewNation checks out 2 new Coolermaster Socket A heatsinks. Read the quote here:
"In the never-ending battle of CPU cooling, we introduce 2 new competitors, which are manufactured by the one and only Coolermaster
The 2 new HSFs we've been chosen to review are the HSC-V62 (Auto speed CPU cooler) and the HHC-L61 (Alps). As many of you already know, Coolermaster is a quality name brand in terms of CPU cooling, so lets just get right to it and see if Coolermaster has done it again, or if they are loosing their touch

| CrazyPC Lazer LED Review @ ReviewNation.com |
|
Looking to light up the interior of that modded case? Check out this review at ReviewNation to see if the CrazyPC Lazer LED is for you. Here's the quote:
"I was checking out one of my favorite PC Mod sites the other day, (Crazy PC,) and came across a new product that looked like the brightest Neon light I have ever seen. I thought it would make a great item to review for all our ReviewNation readers who have a window in their tower or are looking into getting a tower with a window in it, so I contacted Crazy PC to see if they would send me a blue Lazer Light to compare to my blue cold cathode light, and they did. (They sent me a green one, which is okay, but a blue one would have been a better comparison.) Nonetheless, you will see in the following review it does not matter what color Lazer Light they sent me. I have been using a cold cathode light for about 6 months, and it has served me well
until now.

ReviewNation has checked out another MP3 Player. Here's the quote:
"After not doing to swell with their BA250 series Mp3 player, Bantam decided to go back to the drawing board and re-develop their thoughts, and have came up with what they call the BA350 series Mp3 player, which at a glace looks simply amazing! I've tested and used this thing non-stop since I received the product from Bantam, now lets see if Bantam is going to take control of the industry or if they they are going to sink like so many of the other companies out there.."

| Thermaltake Hardcano 5 Review |

ReviewNation checks out the TT Hardcano 5.
"First off, Yay for pretty aluminum products. Now to be serious. The HardCano 5 is one of the latest products that offers some fantastic cooling, and various other sweet functions. Thermaltake has been the business of providing specialized cooling solutions for quite some time now. This cooler, is a little different from the previous models and offers a unique perspective on hom one may use thier hard drive, and other hardware parts. Also like most of Thermaltake products its also VERY well built. Let's anaylze the specifications..."

They are very professional and industrial looking, and will suit any case... Today we'll be taking a look at a few of Thermaltake's Rounded cables..."

| ReviewNation reviews Thermaltake's Smart Fan 2 |
|
ReviewNation reviews this cool fan. Here's a quote:
"A fan's a fan, right? So what?
No! This is not just another fan! This is a SMART fan! I don't know of any company that makes a fan quite like this one. This fan has the ability to change it's speed on-the-fly, which means, (if the mode is selected) if your case temp (or wherever you attach the thermal probe to) increases, this fan will pick up it's speed and keep the case cool. Also, if the case is nice and cool, the fan will slow a little, to give your ears a rest. While this is only one of the three functions offered with this puppy, I think that it's the most useful. (keep reading to hear about the other two functions later on)."
