<b>Good morning peeps, a few good reviews coming into the mailbox today...</b>

"Today we are looking at MSI's 865PE Neo2-FIS2R Springdale Motherboard. We will be giving it our typical tourture tests to check for performance and overclockability. One other thing I would like to point out that my interest many of you out there. According to MSI's manual for this motherboard, the Neo2-FIS2R is "Prescott-ready"!"

"Since I have always been an air cooler, but an avid overclocker, I decided to take a foray into the WC world to see what all the fuss is about. I looked around, and asked many questions to find out what was needed, I settled on a "kit" solution. I say "kit" because I was able to modify the kit on the fly during ordering."

"The removable motherboard tray comes out a bit differently than most. Two thumb screws on its right side allow the try to be pulled up and out via the side left side panel rather than its being slid out the rear. This set up is effective but no where near as clean or easily removable as the rear slide out type."

"Laser printers have always been known to produce the best quality print. The Samsung ML-1710 uses electrophotography which is considered "True Laser" printing. This gives much sharper and crisper text than an ink or bubble jet style of printing. Also laser printing does not smudge or bleed, even when wet. Big bonus when you have to carry that term paper three blocks across campus in a rain storm."

"Let's face it: there's no greater joy in life than strutting down the street -- headphone earbuds sprouting from your head -- listening to your favorite tunes on a portable player. No matter what kind of mood you're in, how much homework you have, or what weirdness your mom's brewing up for dinner, music can smooth out all of life's little bumps. But which portable machine you have can make all the difference, from how well you can hear your tunes, to how long the music will last, to whether you can switch from recorded music to radio after you've listened to Sk8ter Boi for the umpteenth millionth time."

"The thing to remember when modding your case is that the process is supposed to be fun and picking out the modding supplies is only half of the project."
