Thermaltake Big Typhoon @ InsaneTek
“When it comes to cooling products, everyone’s probably heard of Thermaltake. Since 1999, Thermaltake has been manufacturing cases and cooling products. I’ve never really used a Thermaltake product before, so I can’t really say much about their past coolers. As companies began to implement heatpipes, Thermaltake did the same with their new line of coolers. Today we have the Thermaltake Big Typhoon up for review. Let’s go ahead and take a look at how this thing performs.”

Logitech diNovo Media Desktop Review @ AMD Review
“The Logitech diNovo Media Desktop is Logitech’s newest keyboard/mouse combo. The diNovo is a wireless keyboard/mouse combo using bluetooth technology. I had a chance to use this keyboard/mouse combo and today I am going to tell you all about the combo and its software suite.”
Head over to AMD Review for the full.. uhh review.
Thermaltake Soprano VB1000SWS
“If you are looking for a new case Thermaltake always has a few options for everyone. In the past these cases, like their Xaser series, have been pretty outlandish looking and probably not appropriate for all settings, for example, in the office. Seemingly catching the hint, Thermaltake has recently released a number of calmer, more elegantly stylized cases, like the Soprano, Tsunami, Shark, and to a lesser extent, the Armor. These are more metallic, less plasticy, and generally in muted colors, unlike the reds and blues of before.”

BenQ FP91V+ 19-inch 12ms (6ms GTG) TFT LCD @ Hardware Zone
“In a bid to stay at the top of the LCD race, BenQ has in the past few months belted out product after product ahead of their competitors. With the hotly contested 8ms LCD market being taken care of by their FP71E+ and FP937S+ models (17-inch and 19-inch respectively), BenQ is now pushing a new breed of LCDs. The FP91V+ is a 12ms LCD monitor that is also technically a 6ms panel. How’s that you say?”
6ms?? Damn! Check out the full review to find out more, at Hardware Zone.
The Spam Assassin Behind SpamAssassin
“When most of us get email offering questionable herbal alternatives to Viagra or dubiously low prices on Adobe software, we simply delete it, having accepted long ago that receiving at least some unsolicited email comes with the price of using the Internet. But for Daniel Quinlan, it motivates him to figure out how to stop it — for not just his sake but everybody else’s. It’s his job: He works as an anti-spam architect for an email security provider. And his paid work also carries over to his contributions to SpamAssassin, of which he currently chairs this free software’s Project Management Committee.”
SpamAssassin has always been a program I’ve loved.. it’s filtered out a LOT of my spam. The interview is definately a good read, so give it a look at OSDir.com.
WinFS To Be Available on Windows XP
“Microsoft is back-porting its WinFS file-system technology to Windows XP, the same way that it is doing with its Windows presentation and communications subsystems, according to company officials.
The acknowledgement is significant, given that Microsoft has been reticent to offer any details on WinFS since the company decided in August to cut the WinFS information storage and retrieval feature from both the client and server versions of Longhorn.”
If they can’t release LongHorn with WinFS, it’s odd how the can do it with WinXP. It will be interesting for sure. Check out the article at Microsoft-Watch.
Gracenote quietly keeps track of what we listen to..
“Gracenote Inc. knows almost any time a CD is “ripped” for use in a portable music player. Apple, Creative and Rio use its service, as do hundreds of software products devoted to playing and recording music CDs. Yet, few consumers know much about Gracenote.”
It also mentions in the article that it is ‘almost’ completely anonyomous. Check out the read at MSNBC.
ATI Debuts their 512 MB Video Card at the Ultimate LAN Party in the Lone Star State
Tom’s Hardware has a great article on the event where ATI debuted their 512MB card. This is also the event where three world class overclockers would try to break current records.
“ATI went to a LAN Party deep into the heart of Texas to share their latest and greatest with their fans. Fair Park, the home of North America’s largest Ferris wheel, the Cotton Bowl, and Big Tex – a 52-foot tall statue wearing his 70+ gallon-sized hat – was the three-day home to the ATI Ultimate LAN Party. The native organizers, the Texas Gaming Festival (TXGF), were called in to host the event, and all the stops were pulled out to make sure this would be a party to remember.”

Windows for supercomputers likely out by fall
“Software Architect Marvin Theimer said on Thursday that the company hopes to have a beta, or test version, by this summer, with the final version of Windows Server 2003 Compute Cluster Edition ready by the SC2005 supercomputing conference in November.”
The version also promises that bugs will be exploited 5 times quicker than on a regular XP machine. Check out the full read at News.com.

Linux Gaming @ Hexus
“Well, Linux certainly isn’t most peoples’ thought for a games-based PC. Especially one being taken to a big tournament LAN party. However, by design or trickery, none of the tournament games at the event were out-of-bounds to my Linux machine, and rousing games of Call of Duty, Quake 2 and Unreal Tournament 2004 were shared by the HEXUS.net collective and any other gamers who felt like joining in.”

Swissbit’s 2 Gig Twist Pro Flash Drive @ Tech Tastic
“Today we will be looking at the 2 gig version of the Twist Pro. The first thing you notice about the Twist Pro is its design. Instead of the typical flash drive that uses a cap to protect the USB connector, the Twist Pro uses sort of a pocket knife approach. The advantage of this design, is you never have to worry about losing the flash drive cap.”
Nice.. because I lost my flash drive cap :( Check out the review at Tech Tastic.
TTIC NPH-775-1 & NPH-K8-1 CPU Cooler Review @ PCModdingMy
“Not so long ago, we took a look at Arctic Cooling’s Freezer 7 that happened to be a unique looking aftermarket CPU cooler for LGA775 socket. The quest for a better LGA775 CPU cooler goes on as we took a look at TTIC’s latest CPU cooler that supports socket LGA775; the NPH-775-1 CPU cooler. So let’s take a look at this particular CPU cooler to see if it is the CPU cooler for your LGA775 setup. Besides that We also will review the AMD 64 version from TTIC; NPH-K8-1 too.”

eVGA GeForce 6800GT @ HWLogic
“While the 6800 Ultra is currently the fastest NVIDIA card on the market, we wanted to take a look at how the 6800 GT stacks up to its bigger brother. Unlike the x800Pro to the x800XT, where ATI crippled 4 of the rendering pipelines, the 6800 GT has the same architecture of the 6800 Ultra. This means you will still have 16 pipelines and 6 vertex shaders. The only performance differences are the clock speeds. Most 6800 GT’s are easily reaching ultra speeds, so we are going to take an in-depth look at this today.”

MSI K8N Neo3-F @ Trusted Reviews
“The K8N Neo3-F measures 295mm x 185mm, so it is nearly as long as a regular ATX motherboard but is 60mm narrower than usual, which means that it has ten percent less surface area than a micro-ATX model, which would typically measure 245mm x 245mm. A smaller motherboard is cheaper to produce, but tend to suffer from a lack of space in which to fit the various connectors. Surprisingly the K8N Neo3-F manages to cram in plenty of features, although it only has two memory slots making for a current practical limit of 1GB of system memory. The two ATA133 connectors are arranged along one edge of the motherboard and below them are the four native SATA connectors, which have NV RAID that covers all four ports.”

OCZ VX Memory + DFI nForce4 = DDR533 at 2-2-2 @ AnandTech
“In the past year, we have seen lots of memory rated at DDR500, so you may wonder why we are reviewing a new DDR500 memory today when there are now a few rare modules rated as high as DDR600. The answer is pretty simple, since OCZ PC4000 VX Gold is the only memory that we have ever seen rated at DDR500 2-2-2. While it is rated at DDR500 at these extraordinary 2-2-2 timings, it also carries a very high rated voltage of 3.3V – far beyond what most motherboards can supply.”
I never expected to ever see DDR500 to have such low timings! AnandTech has done tests to see if it lives up to it’s 2-2-2 timings. Check it out here.
eVGA & Chaintech 6600GT PCI-Express Review @ 3D Xtreme
“Today 3DXtreme has the great pleasure of reviewing two mainstream video cards based on the nVidia 6600GT chip. Our samples are provided by eVGA and Chaintech, two of the industry leaders among video card and hardware manufacturers. With the emergence of high end video cards from nVidia and ATI, such as the 6800 and X800 series, the mainstream has largely been forgotten. Let’s take a look at these two video cards and see how they measure up in today’s gaming applications and a little later we’ll have a look at these cards in an SLI configuration and see how well they stack up against a current high end card.”

A.C.Ryan RyanPower2 450w Modular PSU @ Viper Lair
“Overall, the AC Ryan 450w modular power supply is an excellent unit. The only negative thing that I found about it is that there were not enough mini 4-pin connections for my setup. Aside from that, the voltage levels all stayed at proper levels, the modular cable system makes my case look a whole lot cleaner, and actually makes installation easier since I don’t have to hunt around for my cables.”

E10+ Rating added to system
I guess that a E (3+) and Teen (13+) was too much of a jump. Since some games just shouldn’t go into the Teen catagory, nor the E catagory, they now have a E10+ cat.
“With the new category, the game, which includes a little more violence than other Mario-based games, might have gotten a permissible “E10+” instead. At the least, it could bring more choices to parents and their young children, who often don’t see eye-to-eye when it comes to the form of entertainment that has infiltrated millions of American households.”

Stripper flogs breast implant on eBay
.. And on the WTF portion of tonights news, Tawny Peaks is jumping on the Ebay to sell her silicon. Implants to be exact.
“Peaks’ 69-HH peaks made the news in 1998 when she was accused of assaulting a man at a bachelor party with her überjubs. The victim claimed to have suffered whiplash injury after copping a faceful of flying dug. Despite the claimant’s assertion that they were “like two cement blocks”, the People’s Court later rejected the suit after former NY Mayor Ed Koch ruled the assets soft and therefore non-lethal.”
If that doesn’t make you want her silicon, I don’t know what will. Check out the article at The Register.
