"The product up for review today is made by Wolf King and is called the Ultimate FPS Warrior Game Pad, or just Warrior for short.

We wanted to let you all know that we’ve just posted a new article at HotHardware, in which we evaluate the features, bundles, overclockability, and performance of two NVIDIA nForce 650i SLI-based motherboards, the MSI P6N-SLI Platinum and the Abit Fatal1ty FPIN9-SLI. One of the boards is more feature-rich and somewhat more expensive, while the other is more streamlined and targeted at gamers on a strict budget. Head on over to the site and check them out…

“ASRock is offering up another budget mATX board, this time for the video enthusiast wanting HD video playback. The motherboard this time around is the new AliveNF7G-HDready. The heart of this motherboard is the new NVIDIA® GeForce 7050 / nForce 630A MCP chipset. This chipset allows the AliveNF7G-HDready to playback 720p H.264 movies. With the new chipset the motherboard has two video connection on the rear I/O panel: one for VGA D-Sub and the other DVI-D. Many other features adorn the AliveNF7G, like RAID 0,1,5,0+1, rear panel IEEE port, Gigabit LAN 10/100/1000, and a plethora of onboard USB2.0 headers. Enough with my talk and check out the specifications below.”

"AMD and Intel recently introduced three new low cost processors. Intel decided to resurrect its Pentium brand for use on two new low-cost parts; the Intel Pentium E2140 and Pentium 2160. AMD, on the other hand, released a new Athlon part, the Athlon X2 BE-2350. Although these processors are positioned at somewhat different segments of the market, we believe it is still appropriate for these two processors to be compared against each other because they have a lot in common."

"Even though your coolant may be more or less non-conductive when you bought it, over time it will pick up particles from your cooling system (dust, dirt, impurities, algae growth, and even microscopic copper/aluminum particles from your waterblocks) and the non-conductiveness becomes not so non-conductive over time. That is why it is so important to change your coolant on a regular basis. Over time it WILL become more conductive than when you first bought it. The longer you wait, the more conductive the coolant can become... If a leak occurs during a lapse in maintenance (when the coolant is most likely to be conductive) you have a higher chance of your components being damaged."

With DDR2 and DDR3 speeds increasing every quarter, system memory latencies have also had to keep up in the never-ending race for higher memory performance. Most of today's high-end DDR2 memory kits run at CAS 4 and 5, but Kingston has taken us back to ultra low latencies with their HyperX 2GB DDR2-800 kit that runs at 3-3-3-10!

ASRock has been known for its budget yet innovative boards and LR is taking a look at two more boards that may just fit the bill when it comes to finding a board for your budget and HTPC needs.

The Jetart Xpanel DT5000 has many things going for it and one glaring thing going against it. As I said earlier, I do not understand why the accessory cables need to be routed through a PCI slot instead of being plugged directly onto the motherboard. Personally, this is something I'd like to see them address. Other than that, the only other thing I can think of that I'm sure some people would want to see is the ability to adjust the front panel light. Not that it's very bright or anything, but I know people like to be able to dim any light that is coming from their PC if they feel like it. Aside from those issues, I liked the DT5000 a lot and would recommend it to anyone looking for a front panel that monitors three different temps and fan speeds and can keep a HDD cool.

Corsair takes out all the guess work and gives you a rock solid item that offers very good performance. I was also shocked how easily it beat out the Big Typhoon. I knew it would do well but it really flexed its muscles when the heat got turned up. The sound from the unit was also easy on the ears. If you run multiple fans at full speed then this unit will give you a much quieter experience.

"Compared to the GeForce 8600 GT part we looked at from Galaxy recently, this particular GeForce 8600 GTS SKU is a little more conservative with regard to its overclocks. For starters, the 256MB of memory on-board hasn't been touched at all, leaving it at the stock speed of 1GHz, while the G84 core sported by this card gets just a 45MHz boost, leaving it clocked at 720MHz over the reference speed of 675MHz. This also makes for a change in the clock speed of the core's Stream Processors, up to 1,584MHz from the 1,450MHz of the stock part."

This particular model is black with blue lighting in the front which makes for a nice contrast. The case is also available with a silver finish for those who are not into black. The front of the case is made of plastic but NZXT gave it the look of brushed aluminum which is very nice. The sides of the case, as well as the chassis, are made of a thin, sturdy steel.

When those new games are released which utilize DirectX 10, you don't want to be left behind the pack. Understandably, you don't want to break the bank, so you'll probably be looking to get a mainstream card.

GMC is perhaps the only manufacturer that focused entirely on HTPC cases during the past few years. A few weeks ago we had a look at the Noblesse AVC-S1 HTPC case from GMC, a very small and narrow case, meant to fit narrow spaces and match mini Hi-Fi systems. Today we will take a look at yet another HTPC case from GMC, the AVC-M1. The AVC-M1 is similar to the S1 but considerably taller and doesn’t need a proprietary PSU, a short cooler and does not limit the user to low profile expansion cards. Hopefully GMC didn’t repeat any of the other mistakes as well.

As laptops are growing ever more popular, more people are looking for a notebook mouse. It's perfectly possible to control a notebook with its trackpad but everyone who has used a notebook for a couple of hours will know that these trackpads aren't really convenient.

The engine has been upgraded to version 7, and requires a Direct3D 9.0c-capable graphics card with Shader Model 2.0 capabilities. In other words, there's nothing new here, and this looks like a game I've seen a dozen times since 2004. However, there's a wide range of possibilities using the same set of hardware and software requirements, and GRAW 2 is a good example of a D3D9.0c title."

D-Tek Customs has had some pretty cool ideas from the start and continues to show improvements for simpler water cooling products that make designing their own cooling system. Sharka Computers was kind enough to send us D-Tek's latest two water cooling D-TEK FuZion and FuZion GFX water blocks which have received a pretty cool face lift. Sharka Computers is a great place to get some impressive performance hardware, so naturally it makes sense they would pick up something that can appeal and perform the way enthusiasts would expect.”

"The Canon EOS 400D, more commonly known as the Canon EOS Rebel XTi in North America, is a single-lens reflex digital camera. Canon introduced this unique looking camera in 2006 as the successor to their EOS 350D. Canon considers the Rebel to be the best entry-level DSLR of its kind on the market. It's priced well below $1,000.00 which makes it affordable especially when the lens is included. It produces some fine images with pure, sharp colors and it's also very quiet. Canon upgraded the CMOS sensor to an impressive 10.1 megapixels. Among the other added features we get a larger continuous shooting buffer, an integrated image sensor, vibrating cleaning system and a more precise nine point auto focus system. Canon didn't stop there! They even improved the grip of the unit and gave us a nice 2.5" LCD with 230,000 pixels and a larger viewing angle which replaced an ill-conceived top status screen. The changes Canon made to the newer model has a tendency to underexpose the subject whereas the older versions overexposed."

Cooler Master's latest case is the Cosmos RC-1000, this case aims to offer very quiet operation and with its four big aluminum handles the design of this case definitely stands out from the crowd. The Cooler Master Cosmos case features a special airflow system, it has one intake fan one the bottom and uses three outtake fans. The firm says this creates a negative pressure effect which will draw in more cool outdoor air into the interior to keep all your components cool. Besides airflow Cooler Master also thought about soundproofing, cable management and tool-free design. In the next few pages I will discuss all of these aspects and see if it works as advertised..

"For the most part the 266MHz (or 1066MHz quad pumped) FSB has been the big power behind the success of the Core 2, now Intel has upped this to 333MHz (or 1333MHz quad pumped).

Today we are testing out the high-end Core 2 Extreme QX6850 along with some other processors to see if the 1333MHz FSB offers a noticable performance increase over the usual 1066MHz parts."

Not everyone can afford the latest and greatest heatsink on the market. Some users are stuck with the noisy stock coolers that are lacking in performance. What else can the user do? We take a look at a new entry level heatsink from Sunbeam called the Silent Whisper. At just $19.99, the budget-minded consumer might just have a reason to get rid of the stock heatsink.

"Taking a closer look at the front of the case it is a simplistic design, no bling, just the requisite power and reset buttons and the power and drive led?s and the Silverstone logo. Less is DEFINITELY more in this case (no pun intended)."
