NL: PC Game Reviews Roundup
Published: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 | By: WillHere is some more PC games to keep us all happy.
Metro 2033 (PC) @ GamingHeaven
"Ever since the first wave of games in the "Survival Horror" genre creators of such titles have looked to ramp up the scares, the tension and just exactly how horrific their creations can get. Metro 2033 has a huge advantage in this respect being based on a truly traumatic novel by Russian writer Dmitry Glukhovsky. In the usual bleak "mankind will eventually destroy itself" setting the protagonist of the game, Artyom, is one of a handful of survivors that were not killed during a nuclear holocaust."
Damnation Game Review @ ocaholic
"Welcome to the 1920 of an alternative world. Out there in the streets you find high noon and machines and robots are steam powered. Also America has been at war now for over 40 years now and a guy called W. D. Prescott is trying to enslave everybody unter the flag of new america."

Western Digital VelociRaptor 600 GB Hard Disk Drive Review @ Hardware Secrets
Published: Wednesday, April 7, 2010 | By: WillWestern Digital has a new Series of Raptors for the SATA 6.0 standard. I guess it is time to read the review to see if a 10,000 RPM drive can use all of the extra bandwidth of SATA 6.0. I'm thinking it might not, but that is just me.
"Western Digital is releasing today two SATA-600 versions of their 10,000 rpm VelociRaptor hard disk drive, one with 450 GB and another with 600 GB. Let's see how the 600 GB model (a.k.a. WD6000HLHX) performs."
At the very least it is fast and now has lots more space being at 450GB and 600GB.

Thermaltake PWB 100 @ Bjorn3D
Published: Monday, April 5, 2010 | By: WillThermaltake has released a waterblock that might even get the watercooling superstars take notice. As with most main stream coolers this block uses 3/8" barbs, but just might be enough to get the job done.
"When we think of water blocks and of water cooling in general, we think of names like Danger Den, Koolance, EK, Heatkiller and D-Tek. At the bottom of our list is Coolermaster, Corsair and finally ThermalTake. These companies have been only been known for water blocks that barely cut the grade, a quick intro to water cooling, cheap easy to set up water cooling, and in most cases a good aircooler would out perform these types of water cooling.
Now since air coolers are getting outrageously overpriced, people who want to have good cooling and quiet operation, can venture into water cooling. ThermalTake has brought to us a rather unique CPU water block. This water block does not conform to their traditional designs and in fact performs quite well. It can be used as an upgrade from ThermalTake's Big Water series water cooling or as a separate block for those who want more of a customized water cooling set up for their computers."The insides look awesome.

Danger Den Summit GPU Water Block @ PureOverclock
Published: Monday, April 5, 2010 | By: WillThe Radeon HD 5870 can be a hot running card once the overclocking gets started. So putting some water on it will show the true potential of the Radeon HD 5870. So check out this review of the new Danger Den waterblock to cool these beasts.
"We are focusing on the new Danger Den Summit full coverage water block for ATI Radeon HD5800 series cards, specifically for the 5870 in this instance. This full cover block cooling has its core design based on the popular Maze blocks. Is the Summit is another winning block for Danger Den? Let's put this block through some paces and find out."
I want one of these.

P55 Motherboard Round-up: Asus, EVGA, Gigabyte, Intel, MSI @ Hothardware
Published: Sunday, April 4, 2010 | By: WillHere is a great roundup for anybody looking to pick up a new Intel P55 chipset motherboard. We at Ninjalane love a good roundup so we hope this one is a good one. Time to read the roundup.
"Shopping for a motherboard can be arduous and complicated. In particular, the mountain of options available only adds to the challenge, especially when you analyze the different features of each board at various price points. Fret not system builder, HotHardware has recruited a small army of P55 motherboards in order to compare the features and performance of each..."
Enjoy!

MSI HD5770 HAWK @ OC3D
Published: Friday, April 2, 2010 | By: WillIf their is a card that we at Ninjalane would loveto abuse it would have to be the MSI HD5770 HAWK. The heatsink setup and the high quality parts might make for a serious HWBot number maker. Still no MSI 5770 have gone through the lab yet!
"After Mondays stunning Crossfire results, does the Twin Frozr on the MSI Hawk give even more headroom?"
That is okay for where MSI won't play Gigabyte will. So check out this awesome Radeon HD5770 card in our own review here.

EVGA P55 Classified 200 - OC King @ ocaholic
Published: Thursday, April 1, 2010 | By: WillI think the title says it all, but I think I can add something to it. The P55 Classified 200 also has some rockin colors as well. Yep, that is pretty much it for me.
"With the P55 Classified 200 EVGA presents its flagship out of their P55 chipset series. With a lot of features it especially awaits PC-enthusiasts as well as overclockers who are looking for an exceptionally good motherboard for overclocking."
"Lame" just came to mind for some unknown reason.

Core i5 DDR3 Memory Kit Group Test - 4GB kits @ ITShootOut
Published: Thursday, April 1, 2010 | By: WillWith the price of DDR3 going up it is a good idea to pick your RAM wisely or be out some real cold hard cash. Here is a good roundup to give us enthusiast a good idea of how far our buck can stretch.
"Today we are comparing five different 4GB kits specifically tailored for use on the socket 1156 platform. Each of these kits has been supplied by a real retail store rather than from the manufacturer directly, so it should be representative of what you can buy yourself. We are testing kits from Corsair, OCZ, G.Skill and Crucial."
Everyone of these sets are just awesome in my book.

ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition Preview @ Techgage
Published: Thursday, April 1, 2010 | By: WillWhat can we say Eyefinity is very cool, but a tough thing to swing in this kind of economy. So why not throw six monitors at us to help push the poor gamer into bigger debt. Okay well it is extremely cool to see how much power these Radeon HD 5870 have.
"Think having three monitors is a little bland? How about six, then? Options were scarce before, but with AMD's ATI Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 edition, it has never been easier to get hooked up with such a configuration. We're still in the process of "working" hard for our final article, so for now, we give you this preview."
Six screens look awesome, but the bezel in the middle would drive me nuts.
