<b>Morning everyone. Got alot of reviews coming in today. Lets see what is out there to read while you grab your first daily beverage (cup of tea anyone?)..</b>
"The case badge comes with an inverter and a 4 pin molex connector to power it up. To truly install it properly I suggest drilling a hole in your case. I couldn't find my drill (13 year old son last used it) so I slid it between two 3.5 bay covers. I was pleased at how bright it is. I'm contemplating getting the drill and doing a proper installation."

"When a TEC is included into the overclocking equation, temperatures can easily drop below ambient temperature. When this happens, the overclocker's enemy rears its ugly head....condensation. To an extreme overclocker, condensation is an evil beast which must be contained. The best weapon we have against the war on condensation is a wonderful material called neoprene which has been the primary component in wetsuits and mouse pads for many years."

"Having been involved in the North American cooling market for only 2 years, AeroCool has established itself as a major player in this category, offering over 17 different heatsink & fan (HSF) packages that cater to varying levels of the "overclocking enthusiast." Today I will be looking at the AeroCool Extreme, one of the two heatsinks from AeroCool that can be used on the socket 478 platform. "

"We reviewed a 200GB Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 Series hard drive in July 2003. We found it to be a very fast drive that works great for multimedia storage and streaming video. All that speedy storage raised our interest in a RAID solution, and we began to wonder how two of the 200GB drives would perform in a RAID 0 configuration"

"Available online for $62.95, its price and performance are quite attractive as compared to some of the other brands that may have a more familiar name. Although I generally look at power supplies for their performance alone, the fact that Apex didn’t comprise the technical specifications in order to make it visually appealing is just the icing on the cake..."

"Remember back a couple of years when all computers were created in a beige box? Things have changed considerably since then, but that doesn't mean all new designs are created equally. Come join Mike "Darthtanion" Wright as he takes a look at the Z-Black Case from Extreme Cases, Inc. It offers a true budget price and some features that may give you enough reason to add it to your wanted items list!"
