Intro

Keyboards; everyone has them, and you use them everyday, so you want a good one right? Yes you most certainly do (don’t lie). Now we get to take a peek at Xoxide’s All clear multimedia keyboard.

 

Packaging

When I saw this package waiting outside for me I couldn’t believe the size of it!!! It was approx 20x12x8”. The keyboard itself safely inside it measures 18x8x1.5”. That’s a giant package for something little!! It was VERY well packed, and completely safe for the journey.

Lights... Power... Frag! Those are the words you will be saying when you are using the Logisys Multimedia Illuminated Keyboard.

Logisys Illuminated Keyboard Packaging

When I first went to my front door to retrieve this illuminated keyboard, I was nervous. The box was a bit beat up from the outside. However, Xoxide did a great job of packaging the actual product, and there was no defect what so ever.

Introduction

We've all been there. Playing at a LAN party, possibly a game of counter strike. Final round, tie game. Everyone on both teams is dead except for you and your arch enemy. Your both equally good. Thousands of gamers watching over your shoulder. Then at the edge of your screen you see him. The adrenaline rushes through your body. You rip your mouse across the pad aiming for the headshot. You're inches off when he lets off a shot and it pierces your flesh. No gamer ever wants to be in this situation. Just like counter terrorists need to be armed with the best of equipment so do gamers. No gamer should be without Func Anti-Friction Liquid, which can be purchased from Xoxide.com on your local super information highway(aka internet).

OCZ Powerstream 520W Intro
Anyone who is into high performance hardware and overclocking has become
familiar with the brand OCZ (unless you live under a rock or still run a
486). OCZ is well known for making some of the best DDR memory in the world.
Recently OCZ introduced the PowerStream series of power supplies for serious
enthusiasts and I wanted to check them out for myself.

I own an Antec True 550 and a PC Power and Cooling TurboCool 510 Deluxe PSU
and both have served me well. The TurboCool Deluxe is a great power supply,
but the retail price of $225.00 is a bit outrageous for most people. Well
here comes the OCZ PowerStream 520 watt PSU at only $125.00 retail that
offers the same performance and even more features. Sounds like a great
deal, but can it live up to the hype? We shall find out in my torture tests.

First let's go over what OCZ offers with this new PowerStream series.

OCZ Powerstram 520W Specs:
OCZ PowerWhisper™ Technology
OCZ PowerFlex™ individually adjustable power rails with LED indicators.
OCZ ConnectAll™ universal connector. (ATX, BTX, SATA, P4 and EPS12V)
OCZ PowerShield™ power leads.
5 year warranty backed by OCZ’s exclusive PowerSwap™ replacement program.*
No more endless return-for-repair loops!

Technical Specs:
175x150x86 mm
23 dBA @ 60% load
100-120Vac / 200-240Vac 10/6a
Overvoltage/Short-Circuit protection
Independent adjustable 3.3V/+5V/+12V rails.

OCZ Powerstream 520W Description
The OCZ PowerStream power supply family offers the quietest, most versatile
and adaptable PSU available today. The PowerStream PSU family comes in 420W,
470W and 520W configurations; they are the ideal solution to your computer
power needs.

With its universal ConnectAll™ connector, the PowerStream power supply
offers all-in-one connectivity. (ATX, BTX, Serial ATA, P4 and EPS12V) Every
OCZ power supply offers PowerShield™ power leads with enhanced EMI-control
technology to reduce RF interference, stabilize input current and filter out
“ripple noise”.

Each OCZ PowerStream family member includes the PowerFlex™ feature for
fine-tuning the three adjustable power rails. An LED sits below each of the
three adjustment dials; a green light indicates voltage is within ±5% of
optimal, a yellow light indicates undervoltage, and red indicates
overvoltage.

Intro

Keeping your computer’s components cool is necessary to gain performance and life span. If you’re tired of frequently checking you PC’s temperature, relax we have a product that will put you to rest.

Today we’re taking a look at the "Computer Temperature Controller”. The first thing I asked my self when I received the item was “who makes it”? After thoroughly scanning the box, unit, and manual I came up empty handed; this was a “no-name” product.

No-name products usually are made poorly; who knows this may be an exception. Besides, when the unit goes bad, and one of my components fries, who am I going to sue?

Intro

When installing fans, you can never seem to find the sweet spot between “cool” and “quiet” that is why they invented this nifty little thing called the fan speed controller. And so, nowadays, you can scarcely find a modded case without one. The problem is most people have found that it is way too much of a strain to reach all the way over to your tower, so Thermaltake found a solution. Now the extent of your fan-adjusting strain is to push a button on a handy little remote (which any of you capable of using a mouse should be able to do without stretching a muscle in your forefinger).

Author: Chris Chao

Introduction to the Vantec Nexus

In the past few years, Intel and AMD have started releasing faster processors at record speeds and intervals. Combine that with overclocking becoming more popular and the need for fans has increased dramatically. Many people (myself included) need high airflow periodically when their processors and video cards are at full load, but need a blissful silence occasionally. Enter the Vantec Nexus NXP-205. The Vantec Nexus NXP-205 follows Vantec’s pattern for aesthetics and functionality at an attractive price. Initial examination showed that the Vantec Nexus NXP-205 was built very well and was extremely sturdy; I also noticed that the PCB was very thick.

Vantec Nexus Packaging

The Vantec Nexus NXP-205 came packaged nicely in clearly labeled box on which the directions were printed.

Introduction

When it comes to overclocking, the load and idle temperature of the overclocked “party” is critical when it comes to success or failure. Unfortunately, because they are based off a mathematical formula derived in controlled conditions, the temperatures reported from the “stock” thermal sensors are often inaccurate, The temperature readouts coming from Abit boards are lower then the readouts from Asus boards; showing an anomaly in the derivation of the temperature. So solve this problem, many overclockers buy separate digital thermometers, resulting in a more accurate readout.
