Fan fanatic in flutter over fantastic fan

PLANET x64 has a combined review of the Logitech G5 mouse and the G15 Gaming keyboard combo. Both of them are corded devices which might put off some of you but the peripherals looks are what set them apart. Laser is the new trend as far as the mouse captor is concerned. As for the keyboard, the additional LCD screen makes it look light a Star Trek dashboard. But the price is where the Logitech might prove to be a difficult sale - at nearly $170 for the combo, it bears a hefty tag.

PC-Treiber.net also had a review of the ULI M1697 Reference motherboard - although it seems to be based on the A0 Silicon version rather than something slightly newer. The review is in german, but as far as I can understand - it is going to be a rather cheapish motherboard - under £50 and offer an extensive list of BIOS setting options. It adds SATA2 NCQ and HD Audio to the existing M1695 motherboard.

Pureoverclock checks the Arctic Cooling Freezer 64 Pro. It comes with a 92mm fan which the author describes as the quietest fan he's never heard. Even then, it can happily handle an overclock of 2.5GHz with a 1.6v voltage. An absolute bargain if you consider that it has a patented decoupled fan, six heat pipes and 40 aluminium fans. And considering the price, I might even grab one.

Tweaktown considers the X-Micro Video MP3 400 as a micro PMP. The small screen might not be the most convenient way of watching Bay watch but it is better than nothing. X-Micro has managed to cram so much in such a little space that it deserves to be considered. Since the screen is small, you might as well compress your videos even more and store a 200 video clips on its 1GB version.

BIOS Magazine tested the 9300i from Nokia. It adds support for Wireless Internet Access and networking via 802.11g to the original 9300. It has a striking silver finish and is actually slimmer and more elegant than the original one. It packs a full keyboard with a 640x200 pixel screen to play with. With an inbuilt 80MB memory and much more if you add in a memory card, you're looking for a backup capacity of 2GB or more. Compares well with an early 486 computer.

The Nvidia Geforce 6800GS graphics card is under review at Hexus. It is apparently the last Geforce 6 GPU card launch Nvidia will do before switching entirely to a Geforce 7 line up. Performancewise, it is up there with the 6800GT and it will prove to be an efficient stock filler for Nvidia. Cheaper to manufacture and mature enough to be overclocked, expect it to be near the top. No AGP version though. We'll hope that someone comes with a bridge somewhere. µ
