Hardware Roundup for Nov. 7

Top O’ the week to ya! There is a ton going on today, as is with most Mondays. If you are sick and tired of seeing others overclock their computers higher than yours, maybe it’s your cooling. For the brave, ByteSector is taking a look at a great Phase Change setup, which will no doubt help your clocks. Of course, if you don’t use a desktop, then maybe laptop cooling is your thing. Spire actually has a laptop cooler, and you can see how that performs at XYZ.

Design Technica is taking a look at a kick ass set of Logitech speakers, if 2.1 is your bag. Did they like them as much as we did? Even though DVD writers are nothing new, they can always get better and more stable. Techniz takes a look at one of my favorite models, the LiteOn SHW-1635S, which has interchangable faceplates to look good in your beige or black rig. Too much reading today, one coffees not enough :(
