Xigmatek Bifrost VD1065 VGA Cooler

2009-12-17T14:50:00.000-08:00

Modding BIOS’, overclocking and Folding@Home; what do they all have in common? In some sense they are all great ways to overwhelm a stock cooler and desire the quest for a quality, more efficient cooler. Along the way you will run across the few I have already reviewed, and many, many others. My goal is to help to narrow the highway of coolers flying by you as you search the web and make it more of a leisurely cruise down a scenic trail.

Xigmatek sends us another solution to just such a quest to improve the cooling of your precious graphics card. I’m not exactly certain how it all came about, but this cooler is one I believe I may have seen before, in some fashion. Xigmatek, however, added their own flair, special touches and changed little things. It is, in its purist form very similar to the SilenX cooler I looked at back in February. Hopefully things have changed since then.

Today we are looking at the Bifrost VD1065 from Xigmatek. They have provided me with a dual fan cooling solution that I may, or may not have seen before. I need to get some pictures and get myself a closer look to see what the Bifrost can offer end users in the pursuit of a better cooling solution. Let’s see of the Bifrost can handle the overclocks and possible long hours of dedicated Folding.

Antec Mini Skeleton-90 Open Air Mini-ITX Case

2009-12-17T14:49:00.000-08:00

I have had many long hours inside of Antec cases, starting off with my 900. From what I have seen with Antec chassis’ in my short time here, is that air flow is key in their concepts. The 900, while a bit loud, had and still has some of the best chassis air flow money can buy. Even their open air chassis incorporated a large top fan and additional fans to keep components cool even without sides. This brings us to why I’m here today.

Back in May we looked at the Antec Skeleton and I was quite pleased with what Antec was offering in their uniquely designed open air chassis. I loved the concept and using and installing components in it was a breeze. The top mounted fan worked wonders for keeping RAM and chipset coolers full of cool air flow, greatly reducing the ambient air the motherboard sat in. the biggest complaint I had then was head room for CPU coolers. Let’s see what they have come up with this time.

Today we are looking at the Mini Skeleton-90 from Antec. This version is a mITX compatible, sized down model of the Skeleton I previously reviewed. Since things were so easy and pleasurable to use the first time around, I don’t expect many issues, aside from cooler clearances. Enough with what I expect, let’s get to the images and let the product speak for itself!

Rosewill FORT 120 / RCX-SHDT120X1 CPU Cooler

2009-12-17T14:38:00.000-08:00

Introduction

Rosewill is a relatively fresh manufacturer to enter the computer component market. They encompass everything from cases, to power supply units, to fans and coolers. From what I have gathered, Rosewill is Newegg’s "house brand" with a goal to provide quality parts at a reasonable price. Above all, Rosewill’s main objective is to keep their customers happy. As a consumer myself, I am glad to see an upstart company striving to please the customer versus making the all mighty dollar first.

Rosewill has released their largest CPU cooler and have submitted this FORT 120 to our labs for testing. This is a tower style cooler and Rosewill’s first cooler to be cooled with a 120mm fan. They, however, don’t stop there. The FORT 120 holds a few tricks up its sleeve, such as heatpipes that make direct contact to the HIS and also something Rosewill calls "Stonehenge Technology" which I will show you a bit later.

Since this is my first time with a Rosewill product I am intrigued to say the least to see what they have in store for us. I have read many posts on various forums about the Rosewill product line and this time I get to see for myself what they are all about. From a brief examination of the FORT 120, it shows promise with the design, but let’s get down to business and see what Rosewill has with their freshly released FORT 120 / RCX-SHDT120X1 CPU cooler.

NZXT Zero 2 Full Tower Chassis

2009-12-17T14:36:00.000-08:00

Introduction

My last review of a case was a bit on the small side and slightly frustrating when trying to add all the pieces into that puzzle. That’s the good thing about what I do, though. Never fear, as something different is just around the corner. This time around, it just so happens to be a full tower case from NZXT; the Zero 2, that is up for discussion.

In the past five years NZXT has started from a fledgling company, into a name that most gamers and enthusiasts recognize. These people are who NZXT strives to please by using ideas of the masses to incorporate better ideas and technologies into their products. Now, NZXT released the Zero in their Crafted series some time ago, but they have stepped it up and tweaked the original proven plan into something hopefully better. I hadn’t had the opportunity to review the Zero, as it was released before my joining the team here at TweakTown, but I have looked at the predecessor to what I have for you here today; The Zero 2 Ultimate Cooling Chassis.

Looking at the Zero 2’s box makes me want to tear into it and see what she has to offer. NZXT has done a nice job of presentation. The box has a very clear image of the case, which I personally find sleek and sexy. The other thing is the listed specs that are all over the packaging. I’m really interested to see just how NZXT gets all the included fans and the amount of bays inside without interfering with the airflow. This case is badged as the "Ultimate Cooling Chassis", so I am very interested to see how they accomplish this.

The biggest problem with buying a Wii is you know it is meant for up to 4 players, but it only comes with enough controllers for one player. Then there are the batteries for the Wii Remotes; you have to make sure you have a fresh pair for them, and the ones included in the standard console packages sold at most other retailers run out pretty quickly. Well, as with all other bundles, at PC EasyCare we give you what you need to get things done right the first time and in one shot.

New Gaming Console To Hit Brazil

2009-12-17T14:26:00.000-08:00

Brazil doesn't immediately jump to mind as a hotspot for gaming. Still, people have to keep themselves entertained somehow.

A new videogame console, aimed at middle class folks who find may have found gaming previously unaffordable, is set to hit the Brazil gaming market. Brazilian electronics entertainment company TecToy will be producing the gaming system, called Zeebo , next year.

Zeebo is expected to launch in Brazil next July for $599 (the equivalent of about $250 USD). Instead of utilizing discs or cartridges, the system will remain connected to a free, 3G network, and all of the games will be downloadable for between $10 and $30. Three of the four titles to come pre-installed on the system include Action Hero 3D, Evil Prey, and Quake. A total of 50 games are expected to be available by the end of next year. The digital only-delivery format is expected to cut down on software piracy, since the games cannot be copied.

According to its producers, the console is not meant to compete with the higher powered Xbox 360, PS3, and Nintendo Wii. It will instead meet the needs of an emerging market niche of individuals who cold not previously afford pricey games or gaming systems. Hell, it's no Gears of War 2, but game on Brazil!.

Hands on: Logitech Speaker System Z323

2009-10-13T23:53:00.000-07:00

Good speaker systems are hard to find. Especially if you want a small form, with big sound. And bass is usually disappointing in these small systems. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been disappointed with speakers that don’t deliver. So I decided to give Logitech’s Z323 a try.

These speakers are acoustically engineered to project audio evenly in all directions, not just one. The idea is that you hear the full range of sound throughout a room. Another interesting feature is the down-firing woofer designed to deliver rich, deep bass. The two satellite speakers claim to produce warm mid-range tones and crisp high notes. You can plug in your Logitech Squeezebox, gaming console, iPod or DVD player. So what did we think of the Z323? Read on.

Hanwang's handwriting recognition mouse one-ups Chinese keyboard

2009-10-13T23:40:00.000-07:00

It's tough enough to peck and hunt when you've only got 26 or so primary characters to fool around with, but trying to construct something meaningful in Chinese just has to be a tad more complex than we'd like to imagine. Hanwang's latest mouse is looking to ease the pain suffered while penning an email with wildly elaborate characters by offering a more natural approach to keying in text, as built-in top-mounted screen accepts handwritten input via the integrated stylus (seen after the jump). As expected, users can actually write characters on the LCD rather than typing it in, presumably making things a bit easier on those who'd rather handle a writing utensil than fight with a keyboard. No word on pricing or availability just yet, but we're still not entirely convinced a mouse-sized panel would be classified as "convenient" when trying to pen a dissertation.

1TB Black Passive eSata / USB External Hard Disk Drive 1000GB HDD HD e SATA

2009-09-16T13:04:00.000-07:00

Product DescriptionChoosing the right external disk drive is not easy, especially if you don't exactly know what you're looking for. There are so many products that look alike, and price seems to be the only obvious differentiator. Yet differences can be found when it comes to reliability and build quality. We urge people with important or expensive data to consider spending a little extra on a higher quality passive unit. Passive drives offer several advantages over fan cooled models - they are completely sealed so will never collect internal dust or be damaged from a liquid spill. They are also SILENT in operation and used in sound recording studio's for this reason. Fans can become louder over time and will eventually need to be cleaned or replaced. eSata allows your computer direct access to the Sata disk drive without any bottleneck (caused by usb/firewire "Bridging" chips.) The disk drive will perform exactly the same as a Sata disk installed inside your PC case (almost 3 times the speed of USB2.) The eSata cable supplied with this product meets the standard eSata specification by using a heavy duty connector designed for external use. It's similar to the regular SATA connector, but with reinforcements in both the male and female sides. It's harder to unplug and can withstand a cable being yanked or wiggled. Please make sure that you have a standard eSata port on your computer.

LG 19″ LCD Monitor FULL HD – W1943S SPECS, REVIEW, PRICE: CHEAPEST LCD MONITOR, LCD PALING MURAH

2009-09-16T13:00:00.000-07:00

The newer model has better contrast ratio and therefore produces better image quality. Viewing angle is slightly better, more stylish design and power consumption is lower than the W1942T. So, what’s good about the W1942T? More workspace and additional DVI-D connector. From the comparison, we know that the LG W1943S is a 16:9 ratio screen and the LG W1942T is a 16:10 ratio screen.

Which to choose?It all boils down to personal preference really. If you use the monitor mainly for work purpose then go for the W1942T because of the extra workspace. If you watch a lot of movies, then go for the W1943S. On the LG official website, the 16:9 marketing pitch is quite misleading especially for someone who is a newbie. The black bars on a 16:10 monitor does not block part of a movie like that. Forgo some workspace and get better image quality on the W1943S. Choose more workspace and get slightly lower image quality on the W1942T.

Philips' new Essence, FlatTV and Aurea LCD sets

2009-09-12T02:09:00.000-07:00

While our primary drool allotment will be directed at Philips' new 8mm LCD concept, Philips also has some new for-realsies LCDs here at IFA potentially worth your time. Leading off the pack is the LED-backlit 42PFL9803 FlatTV (pictured), a 42-inch set with 128 segments of LED for a purported 2,000,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio. The set runs at 100Hz, has a 17-bit "Color Booster" for a wide gamut, and even does a bit of 2nd gen Ambilight for good measure. Essence (42PES0001) is another 42-inch, 1080p display, but stakes its claim on thinness, measuring 38mm (1.5-inches) deep, and has a single cable running to a connectivity hub which doles out the audio, video and power. 100Hz and wide color gamut are all here. Finally, Philips is doing up a new generation of Aurea sets with new 37-inch and 42-inch 1080p displays, which offer up "Active Frame" transparent frames to reflect the Ambilight surrounding the set. The displays also offer 100Hz, 30,000:1 contrast ratios and 2ms response times. No word on price or availability for any of these, which is starting to sound like the official theme of IFA 2008.

Ok, I’ve got a problem. Apparently mice and mouse pads can breed. It’s the only explanation I can come up with for why I have so many of both. Having lots of mice is one thing, but I only need one good mouse-pad (Can't use a mouse-pad on a Lazy-boy). The problem is I haven’t found one that I really like. Too thick, too rough, too big, collects dirt, loud… the list goes on. Always seems to be something.

Dell's Display Port Prototype Will Allow for Resolutions 4x Better Than HD

2009-09-01T00:59:00.000-07:00

Feast your eyes on Dell's sexy new LCD. It measures about half an inch thick and packs a resolution that's 4x sharper than the current HDTV resolutions. It's part of Dell's new Display Port technology.

The new interconnect will let you daisychain multiple monitors and connect other peripherals via one bi-directional cable. As you can see from the pic, it'll also allow for embedded peripherals around the display (this one has speakers built in on the side). The tech can also be used with notebook displays. It's expected to come out later this year and if this is a sign of what's to come, we can't wait. – Louis Ramirez.

One such thing being the exposure to these cool gadgets and peripherals. Take for instance the LCD screens that keep making their way to my desktop every alternate week. It doesn't take too long for one to get hooked on to these beauties. But when they go away to where they came from, I have to return with a heavy heart to the old CRT and then even the output at 85 Hz seems to flicker, even though it doesn't.

Till last week, the only transition I had to make was from the sleek and flicker free LCD screen to my CRT monitor more or less of the same size. Now things seem to have gone worse. Not only do I have a LCD to contend with but also a huge screen size to boot. But wait a second. Why on earth would I want to waste my time getting depressed about the fact that it has to go away someday? Rather, I would enjoy every little moment I get to gaze at this sexy 19-inch LCD from ViewSonic.

New Dell SP 2208 WFP LCD Moniter

2009-08-31T21:20:00.000-07:00

This monitor is based on a glossy, TN panel and besides this we could hardly find any fault. Its got a good contrast ratio and bright¬ness levels will not disappoint unless you are really discerning. We found it good for movies and games except when the glossy panel ca\lses reflections. The presence of an integrated 2.0 megapixel webcamera is just sweet; especially for a price of Rs 15,000. It's got an HDMI port too; so it can be used with a home ,entertain¬ment system as well.

Dell gets official with webcam-packing SP2008WFP monitor

2009-08-31T21:16:00.000-07:00

Not that it'll come as much of a surprise to anyone that followed our week o' Dell scoops, but the company has now finally gotten official with its 20-inch SP2008WFP monitor, which is particularly notable for inclusion of a built-in webcam. That cam is of the 2.0 megapixel variety, and also includes a built-in microphone to let you get in some videoconferencing with minimal clutter. Otherwise, you can expect some pretty solid specs across the board, including a 1680 x 1050 resolution, a 2,000:1 contrast ratio, a 2 ms response time, a 300cd/m2 brightness rating, and both VGA and DVI ports (with HDCP), not to mention four USB 2.0 ports. One thing we didn't know before was the price, which has now been revealed to be just $289. No complaints there.

New Enermax ATX Mid Tower Staray

2009-08-31T20:51:00.000-07:00

After the bestseller Chakra and the ultimate gaming case Phoenix Neo Enermax brings a stylish and solid entry-level case onto the market: Staray combines successfully the consequent user-friendliness and the first-class cooling concept of predecessor series. In matter of design Staray is the rising star on the case market: The integrated Apollish front fan provides bright colours and outstanding light effects. Hamburg, 22nd of July 2009. The launch of new LED fan series Apollish last week has caused a sensation in the market. Almost simultaneously Enermax now introduces new ATX mid tower Staray to the market. It is equipped with an Apollish front fan which acts like magic behind the elegant meshed front panel: The patented circular LED light with 15 diodes guarantees intense colours and shines four times brighter than ordinary LED fans. Moreover, an innovative, high-glossy coating assures spectacular light reflexes. One difference in comparison to regular Apollish series: Users can choose between two fascinating light effects: By pushing a button on the front panel, the curved, shiny Apollish light turns into an energetic, rotating light flash. The mirror finish front frame and the red or blue illuminated power and reset buttons complete the eye-catching appearance of the Staray case.

Nieuwe serie voedingen van Enermax

2009-08-31T20:46:00.000-07:00

Deze nieuwe voedingen zijn vanaf nu beschikbaar onder de MODU82+ en PRO82+ naam, waarbij eerstgenoemde de modulaire variant is op de nieuwe serie. Van de niet-modulaire PRO serie komen vier modellen op de markt met een continu vermogen van 385, 425, 525 of 625 watt. De modulaire serie zal verschijnen met vermogens van 425W, 525W en 625W. Al deze modellen voldoen aan de ATX12V 2.3 standaard en gebruiken uitsluitend solid capacitors, wat de levensduur ten goede moet komen. Door alle inspanning heeft Enermax een efficiëntie weten te realiseren van 82-88%, afhankelijk van de belasting. Door deze hoge efficiëntie wordt de voeding ook niet zo warm, want bij 50% of minder belasting zou de 120mm ventilator niet harder draaien dan 400 tot 500 rpm.
Om helemaal voorbereid te zijn op de nieuwste videokaarten zijn de voedingen uitgerust met drie 12V lijnen, waarbij de sterkste modellen 25A op elke 12V lijn kunnen leveren. De voedingen uit de modulaire serie krijgen vier 8pins PEG connectors mee, terwijl de PRO serie wordt uitgerust met tweemaal 6-pins en tweemaal 8-pins PEG stekkers.

The World’s Fastest Desktop PC

2009-08-31T07:13:00.000-07:00

At £3′940, the YOYOtech Fi7epower MLK1610v certainly doesn’t claim to be the cheapest PC in the world, however what it does claim to be is the world’s fastest PC after recently breaking the world record in the industry standard SPEC CPU2006 benchmark tests. The innards of this system are of such high quality that were you to purchase just the 9GB of DDR3 memory and Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition processor, it would set you back close to £2′000. If the hardware itself isn’t speedy enough for you, also included with the PC is an embedded operating system called ExpressGate. It boots up from cold in 5 seconds.

The World’s Fastest Desktop Printer

2009-08-31T07:07:00.000-07:00

Within the next few months, home printing technology will be revolutionized. Memjet Technologies have for the past few years been developing print engine components which will enable full color A4 printing at a ridiculously speedy 60 pages per minute, a rate far greater than any desktop inkjet printers currently on the market. So what’s the secret behind this dazzling speed? Basically, the printerhead, rather than sliding across the page from left to right as with normal inkjet printers, Memjet’s is designed to span the width of the page itself, negating the need for any movement on its part and resulting in much faster ink deployment via approximately 70′000 nozzles.

HP PhotoSmart 7350 Printer Review

2009-08-31T06:54:00.000-07:00

HP printers were always known for their universality. They were excellent home/office solutions when it was needed to print out text, graphics and probably text with photos. However, they were less photo-realistic than 6-color rivals. The new models of HP printers are even more universal because they can turn into photo-realistic ones by changing a black cartridge with a photo one; a USB connector which allows attaching directly digital cameras HP, and 4 memory card slots (CompactFlash I and II, SmartMedia, Secure Digital, MultiMedia Cards and Sony Memory Stick) provide widest functions even without a computer. You don't need to calibrate the printer yourself, because it prints a test page, scans it, and adjusts the printing heads to match the lines printed in different colors. Moreover, you don't need to know about paper properties as the printer defines its type by dispersion of light from the surface. However, you have to spend time on studying the controls. Below is the control panel with connectors for memory cards and a USB one for a photo camera.

Averatec All-In-One PC brings a little generic flair to the party

2009-08-31T06:42:00.000-07:00

Averatec's been trying to bring a little pop to its products lately, and the new All-In-One PC (seriously, that's what it's called) is the company's sleekest effort to date, copping a little style from both the iMac and the Gateway One. Your $1249 won't buy you anything spectacular behind that 22-inch display, but it's not too bad either: 2.4GHz E4600 Core 2 Duo with GeForce 8400 graphics, 2GB RAM, a 320GB disk, and Vista Home Premium. That's not a particularly astounding deal compared to the name-brand all-in-ones, but the specs are slightly better, so if you're spending nights ripping the labels off your jeans, it looks like you've got the perfect machine to start working on that followup to Plastic Surgery Disasters.

And sure, a touch keyboard like this would be extremely annoying without haptic feedback and screens like that don't really exist yet, but it's an interesting look at what we'll be playing with a few years down the line. Despite the fact that this isn't an official Sony concept, we still think they should work at making it a reality.
