Web Reviews Daily roundup 2 - 31/10/03

If this mornings motherload of halloween reviews didn't spook you, what about this little lot??!

"Microsoft's long awaited port of their popular xBox title has finally arrived! Does it cut the mustard as a PC Game? Did it lose anything in translation like many titles we've seen? Let's find out!"
HALO for the PC Platform @ Futurelooks

"The PowerQube Zero-One from CCL Computers certainly looks the part with a brushed silver finish and a bright blue power LED on the front. It’s slightly larger than other cube systems like the e-Style II from Evesham, but it’s not what you’d call large. Unlike the the Evesham which is based on a Biostar chassis, the PowerQube is built on a Soltek platform. There was a time when your only choice in the cube PC arena was Shuttle, so it’s good to see that there’s more variety available now."

"With not a single corner cut, the great looks and industry leading cooling technology coupled with great performance and a great software and accessory package makes the FX-71 an excellent videocard to put on your short list if you are considering a mainstream targeted videocard."
Chaintech FX-71 Geforce FX5600 Ultra Videocard Review @ Tweaknews

" I have no reservations about awarding this product the 3dXtreme Editor's Choice Award...."[Short but sweet! - Ed]
Bytecc Aluminum 3.5" USB2.0 HDD Mobile External Enclosure Review @ 3dXtreme

"Now as you can see, the Volcano 11 is a really good cooler. Just a couple of degrees higher than the almighty SLK-800 combo with a Vantec Tornado, but not as loud but you still would not want to use these in a home theater pc, or in a room with people trying to talk or watch TV. Other than that I can't think of anything negative about the Volcano 11. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good solid heatsink to cool the ever rising temps of the Athlon series of CPU."
Thermaltake Volcano 11 Heatsink Review @ Furioustech

“Not everybody has empty 5-1/4" bays, with CDRW drives, HDD coolers, and reservoirs, there's little room left. With the decline of the aging floppy drives most 3.5" bays have been left empty. Even though I did have 2 empty 5-1/4" bays, I decided to go for the 3.5" Rheobus because, well, because it was cheap. To be honest, I normally don't let price effect my buying decisions, but seeing as how this rheobus was intended for my "spare" computer I found the cheapest one I could. I don't need it to be able to handle that many watts, I don't need it to light up, and I don't need to mess with it that much. So the only factor left is price.”
Multi-Function 3.5" Fan Controller Review @ GruntvillE
