Titan SSD delivers

Daily Wibble Affordable drive, high performance

HAVING MOVED beyond RAM, G.Skill is trying out its new 128GB Titan SATA II SSD drive at Legion Hardware. These new drives blow the competition away, and from what we've read, aren't too expensive.

DAAMIT's HD 4850 X2 and Nvidia's GTX 280 are facing off at Xbit Labs. The X2 delivers quite a beating for a much lower price, so it shouldn't be too hard.

Thrusting Reviews has an Epson EH-TW420 LCD projector sporting 720p resolution and a very decent price tag. TR is expecting great things from Epson.

Before it exits the stage, Palit's GeForce 9800GTX+ is making an appearance at Benchmark Reviews.

Guru 3D is checking out the CoolIT Domino ALC kit. Hilbert's had his share of liquid cooling systems, but this one is really unique, as it performs for under $80.

Swiss site OCaholic is testing the oddly configured Gelid Silent Spirit top-flow cooler. It's very lightweight and small, and delivers some serious silent cooling, it seems.

If you're looking for an excuse to pick up Assassin's Creed, then just go out and buy an XFX 9800GTX+ Black. You can read the review at XSReviews.

A mad Finn overclocking crew at CES has done a liquid nitrogen test run of a Phenom II X4 940 running a stable 3DMark 05 at 6.3GHz (Googlenglish). That's >45K marks, in case you're wondering. Plaza.fi has the skinny.

DigitLife / iXBT Labs has been playing around with a Core i7 920. It fares quite well even against the QX9770.

Small Net Builder has this review of an Mvix MvixBOX, a dual drive NAS that offers you plenty of sharing and webserving options.

LaCie has delivered a 4big Quadra to THG's doorstep. It's quite a pricey (4TB) NAS - it'll cost $1299 in the States. Don't forget you need Windows 64-bit to address all that drive capacity.

Asus probably abducted some engineers from Toshiba to create this Asus N10J netbook. You can read the review at InsideHW.

Frosty Tech is reviewing Coolage's Frozen Orb Z924 HDC cooler. It's an average performer that suits low power CPUs better than others.

Notebook Review has written up the Fujitsu Lifebook N7010. This 16-incher has a relatively low resolution screen (1366x768) but has a secondary 4-inch display (960x544!) that'll let you do basic tasks.

Casual gamers and cheap chums will like MSI's GX630 gaming laptop. For $799 it fails at moderate gaming. Matt actually suggests it's good for "occasional" rounds of Civilization...

Extremetech has a review of a Seasonic M12D SS-850EM PSU. It' modular, well built and very stable, at least that's what Joel says. µ

"liquid nitrogen test run of a Phenom II X4 940 running a stable 3DMark 05 at 6.3GHz" googlenglish translates liquid nitrogen as liquid helium, errrrrrrrrm, *tip, never, never use a google translation to design any chemical experiments or anything associated with liquid gasses lol, apart from that, WOWZERS 6.3 GHz !!!!!!!!

For 7, Start With Above....

On SSD: good is that smaller C drive is Better Unit Runs, 128 is good amount of space, even for 7, then make media drives everywhere with cheap HDDs or even ide/flash interface. BIG, New Worker Bee World There. ALL items above Most Likely Give 7 Good Time, If You Wonder should You Keep You XP or Vista, FORGET IT, Pick Some New Neat Stuff Out, Power X58 rec.(oreven890XXXX).
