"If your afraid of applying water-cooling to your system go ahead this cooler, if your an overclocker but have no money to buy an expensive water-cooling kit, go ahead and cooler, but if your seeking for low temperatures go ahead and search for an excellent water-cooling kit because the temperatures achieved here are nothing compared to water-cooling results.. The MCX159-P is silent, works excellent, is way better than your standard chipset cooling, and installation is easy."

&quot;Today at FastLaneHW.com, we're bringing you double trouble-- two cases from CableMart Inc (better known as CMI Computer) which slightly resemble luxury cars such as BMW and Mercedes, so the website claims. They don't have lights or extensive features, but the bezel design is interesting, and they don't cost enough to break the bank.&quot;

&quot;We've got the latest Power Supply Unit in from the folks at Thermaltake today. Quality power output, looks, sleeved cables - it's all there and then some more for thrills along the way.&quot;

&quot;The AMD AthlonXP processor has long represented an equal balance of pure economical value and performance. These traits have been enticing consumers towards AMD since the introduction of DDR memory, and that has given the company a strong foothold in the consumer PC markets. While it used to be said Intel was a force to be reckoned with, it now seems as though AMD has become just that, leaving Intel more on the defensive than ever before.&quot;

&quot;In February of this year ATI refreshed their VGA lineup with 2 new cards. The RADEON 9800 Pro replaced the 9700 Pro in their lineup and The RADEON 9600 Pro replaced the 9500 Pro. The 9600 Pro (codenamed RV350) was a mainstream card that was ATI's first .13 micron video card. In general ATI releases their AIW cards with the same or lower core as the card it's based upon, until now. &quot;

&quot;Back in June I reviewed the EL-610 mini keyboard. That keyboard was very kewl, and my wife still used it until this new one showed up. My only complaint about the EL-610 was the size. It was a mini keyboard, meant to be on the go. Today we have the EL-715. This standard size keyboard has a blue glow and a silver layout. Blue and silver is quite attractive, but rare to see on a keyboard. Blue glowing keyboard...heck why not.&quot;

&quot;This is a strong recommend. If you are looking for an affordable set of surround speakers for your game system or computer consider this one. The list price is $200 but we looked around and saw it for as little as $120 with an average price of $140. The speakers are light enough to mount on the wall, out of the way.&quot;
