Chenming 602 Entry Level Server Case @ Systemcooling
"When Chenming introduced their ATX 601AE entry level server case a few years ago, they couldn't have known that it was destined to become the most popular and most modded case of all time. If this model number doesn't ring any bells, try thinking of the Antec SX1040, or the Chieftec Dragon. Aside from those two, the 601 has been offered under literally dozens of different names, in an entire spectrum of colors, with pre-modded options from mild to wild. Today, we're looking at the next generation of Chenming entry level server case, the 602. It has a number of features lacking in the 601, some of which you've seen on other cases already, such as the Antec Lanboy, and still others that are unique to this model. So, without further adieu, let's take a closer look."
Evercool WC-201 Watercooling Kit Mod @ 3D Extreme
"...by spending a little cash you can improve cooling by up to 10C over stock. It really makes sense to use outside air for watercooling, think about the vicious circle you create by cooling with case air, as the case gets hotter so the efficiency of the watercooler drops due to cooling with warmer air. And the benefit of freeing up 5 ¼ drive bays by making it external is a real plus. Comparing the cost of this unit and the mods we made we are still coming in about $80-$90 cheaper than say a Koolance Exos or Thermaltake Aquarius III and receiving the benefit of an external all in one kit."
"The Shuttle XPC SB75G2 is top of the line for the Intel platform, based on the i875P "Canterwood" North bridge, and the ICH5R South bridge. This system supports all 800MHz FSB Pentium 4 processors, dual-channel DDR400 memory, SATA RAID 150, PAT-enhanced memory performance, a ton of overclocking features, and lots more! Recent updates to the SB75G2 include a beefier 250w SilentX power supply, upgraded mosfets, and Prescott support."
"Today we'll be looking at another of Samsung's popular SyncMaster line of LCD monitors, the 172X. This 17" monitor is one of Samsung's top of the line monitors, with a very important feature for us gamers and hardcore computer geeks, a 12ms response time. A 12ms response time literally means zero ghosting in games and fast action movies. While boasting refinement and style, the 172X once again brings credence to the SyncMaster line of monitors. Without further adieu, let's take a closer look at the monitor!"
Time for me to get back to "work" my friends. I am sure you will see more of me today :) - Cheers
