A CUSTOM PAINT JOB for a PC case can go a long way to get the goods out the door. Test Freaks is looking at the Smooth Creations Lanshark Pyro system.
Tom's Hardware, OCC, Elite Bastards and Benchmark Reviews are all testing the Nvidia Geforce 3D Vision. The Way It's Meant To Be Seen?
OCModshop is proving Mac gaming needn't rely on the awkward single button mouse. The Razer DeathAdder for Mac is the shiznit.
Tune your ears to this: the Tritton AX51 True 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset, at Modders Inc.
Laptop Mag has an Imation Wireless Projection Link. You use it to send a VGA signal across a room to a receiver, plugged into a display/projector.
TweakTown also got down to some serious QuadSLI testing with Gainward and Gigabyte's GTX 295s. Still a lot of fine tuning that needs to be done.
DriverHeaven opted for an X58 motherboard roundup. Four mobos duke it out in the battle of the higher grade mobos.
IT Reviews got hold of a gem, an Acer 6935G multimedia notebook. It's cheap and packed chock-full of features.
Hardware Zone has an Evercool Formula 2 VGA cooler on the bench. It's cheap and the results seem to justify the $20 or so it costs.
Extremetech is the first site we've caught testing the Dell XPS 625 Gaming PC. It's the one that's based on the Dragon platform, from yesterday's Phenom II launch.
Hardware Secrets has a preview of the soon-to-be-released Asus Eee Keyboard, a full system-in-a-keyboard. It even has a smallish LCD touchscreen instead of the numeric keypad.
Bit Tech has squeezed some QuadSLI figures out of a couple of GTX 295 cards. The 784W peak power consumption seems to be quite a shock.
Elite Bastards also got hold of a Dragon-based gaming PC, the Mesh Matrix II 920. Yeah, you can imagine it isn't built around a Black Edition.
Pureoverclock has a review of Crucial's 3x2GB PC3-10600 kit. Just in time for that Core i7 upgrade you're planning? µ
It seems even computer hardware is subject to retro revivals.
The EEE keyboard has the look of the basta...er twisted offspring of an Amstrad CPC6128 and a calculator (some would say a Macbook pro keyboard, but since Asus makes those, I had think of something else).
The question now becomes, will some innovative soul combine a proper keyboard (with microswitches) and some semi-decent HW. I'd like to see the outcome there.
