<b>Ding ding round two of what the web reviewers are talking about today....</b>
"A Shiny Power Supply (PSU) from Global WIN, does it perform as good as it looks? We put it to test on an overclocked AMD system and compare it to ThermalTake's latest 480W PSU, PurePower W0015 and the older Enermax EG365P-VA 350W."

"Heatronics NCU-1000 heatsink is a remarkably simple device. A 5mm copper baseplate sits below the bottom of the Akachi heatpipe that stretches out in a "U" shape to a total length of about 315mm, and a stainless steel plate sits on the opposite side, held in place with four screws...."

"In addition to the small size, the iDEQ offers an awesome brushed aluminum finish and construction (except for the front bezel, which is plastic). I am a huge fan of aluminum cases and their typical silver color, so this fits right in with my tastes. The chassis consists of two removable side panels and one removable top panel, a design I prefer over the use of one big removable cover, like Shuttle uses with its XPC line (the SN41G2 for example)."

"Today we have the opportunity to take a close and personal look at the newest member of the SIS chipset family for the Intel Pentium 4 processor; the SIS 655FX. There's more to the 655FX than just a dual channel memory controller and 800 MHz FSB compatibility though, the brand new SIS 655FX and accompanying SIS 964 Southbridge each contain some very innovative technologies...."

"There is no question that Mushkin has a real quality product here with the High Performance Black PC4000. The construction quality is top notch, from the PCB to the heatspreaders. Performance was flat out excellent, and the overclocking was above average as well."

"The GeForce FX 5950 Ultra has a new more efficient and quieter cooling heatsink system to keep the core cool while the memory chips have a cooling plate fitted to them. The GeForce FX 5950 Ultra of course needs two slots to install. The heatsink fitted on top of the core now follows top performance heatsinks for processors and has a radial fan blowing the hot air out."

"Sony knows that many users are looking for a fully featured desktop replacement that isn’t going to be carried around all the time.
For these users it’s easier to have a fully featured notebook that can be transported from the office to home than to have two separate desktop systems that need to be constantly synchronised."

"The single screw in type motherboard standoff is outside of the range of some ATX boards. This lone screw in type standoff locks the board in place once installed. Therefore, there is no way to attach some ATX boards to prevent them from moving when you plug in your peripherals."
