Quiet day out there in techie-land but we have reviews for you regardless...

" Thermaltake has a new heatsink fan combo for the new Athlon 64 and Opteron processors. This new model is very similar in design to their Extreme Volcano 12 heatsink with similar features such as the two fan speed controllers and the same 72.92 CFM Fan."

“What’s the story with most cooling solutions that come with video cards? It’s almost like the manufacturers just slap any old fan and/or some copper on there and call it a day. Unless you’re buying the top of the line card you end up with a cooler that’s just ‘adequate’. We all know that not a single one of us is happy with anything that is adequate. We want more. Heck, we demand more.”

"The Cheiftec made a great impact on the world of cases, and how they were to be made in the future. From the general layout, to the swinging doors, the same design is replicated throughout many cases on the market today. Some companies are able to pull it off with a little something extra, and some are left to shame with a generic look. Aspire is no “noobie” to the computer environment, and are known for high quality products. Today we’re going to go in depth with the X-Alien"
