The Systemax Inspire 4007 is a high-end Athlon 64 gaming PC, or at least that’s how Systemax describes it. This is also where AMD is hoping to gain some sales, so it all makes sense. The core of the Inspire 4007 is of course an Athlon 64 3200+ processor as this is currently the only speed grade available. The memory is a whole 1GB of PC3200, but it is JEDEC spec which means that it’s fairly slow. This is more than plenty and does add to the whole gaming PC feel.

"I used to think that the mousepad made little or no difference in computing. Because of the Icemat, I now see the error of my ways. The mouse is one of the most used devices on your computer and it relies almost completely on surface texture to work properly. As such, the mouse pad used should optimize your mouse's performance and efficiency."
Icemat Black Gaming Mousing Surface Review @ Tweaknews

"The heatsink is copper with a good amount of surface area thanks to the fin design. Also notice that the fins are encased in a clear shroud of sorts that keeps the air channeled and increases the velocity of the air over the fins. This increased velocity through the use of a shroud takes some of the pressure off the fan, allowing it to run at a lower RPM and as such, quieter. That's quite a paint job that shroud has I may add."

"The Platinum XP case from Koolcases.com is a nice mid range case with many interesting features. The case has a temperature display, a 2 speed fan controller, a pre modded window, 2 prestealthed 5.25” drive bays, front USB, and some handy dandy thumb screws."

"These investor assessments are quite different. The Intel report includes some detailed financial data and a sector summary of its prospects, which are generally felt to be rather better than anticipated even at the start of the quarter. Its manufacturing advantage is crucial, it seems."
Merrill Lynch Praises Intel @ IPKonfig

“The addition of the OTES cooling system for the MOSFETs and capacitors is an interesting addition, and those that plan to overclock their system will probably like the extra cooling that it offers. There is a downside to it as well, as it takes up a lot of the PCB space"
Abit KV8-MAX3 @ AmdMB

“After a while my poor little mouse feet got ground down, and I noticed in SoF2, I was having trouble sniping. Every time I tried to move that last little bit over my target’s head, it would grind, and then slip making me miss. I picked up some Teflon tape and called it a day again. And all was well….. or was it?”
