Nforce 4 ultra mobos modded to SLI

SOME OF you asked what was the link between the XBOX2 and the SIS 656FX chipset under review yesterday. Go on the third page of the review; somewhere on the first slide, you will read "PCI-Express x4 : Ready on XBOX2 South Bridge". Microsoft chose that part for their XBOX2.

German Website Allround-pc has a roundup of five ATX power supplies from Aerocool, Chieftec, Seasonic, Coolermaster and AC.Ryan. Google translator needed. Should you want to compare some of the PSUs there, that's a site worth a visit.

GDhardware reviews the fUnc F-Series gaming surface. Arguably one of the most coveted mouse pad of our times. It was present en masse at nearly all major events like E3 in the developpers booths. Dead accurate in Photoshop or DOOM 3, it comes as four different products. With details like its cord clip, its worth every single penny.

Lascala was a famous Soprano as far as I remember. Hopefully, the Silverstone LC-14 which bears the same name as that soprano, won't be as noisy. Marketed as a HTPC, the LC-14 has two 5.25-inch bays and sports a slightly different design. Three fans and a build quality worthy of praises makes it a compelling product.

Another Silverstone casing, the LC11M is tested at Matbe, a Belgium website - you'll need a French translator for it. It shares its unusual design as well as the wealth of bays and two fans with the LC14. It's better though that you see the casing for yourself. A much more detailed article compared to the previous one. Note that the LC11m comes with a remote control.

I don't know why jetway is translated into Chechoslovakia wave when using Babelfish's Chinese to English translator. Anyway, Hardspell.com, chinese website, tests the Jetway K8F8G motherboard. Apart from the rainbow of colours used, the Mobo comes with loads of accessories. Another motherboard, the Magic Pro C.NF4 Ultra is also tested. I guess from the reading that it talks about the transformation of nForce 4 Ultra into SLI.

MVKTech checks the Sunbeam Pro Series Illuminated keyboard. Now that's a bright idea - no pun intended - than to bring lights to our fingers. With a well designed setup, a host of funtion buttons, a scroll wheel and working lights, it will be as useful to gamers and to other people who like me work on their PC at night without lights. µ
