    We have actual product photos posted in the Ninjalane Message Forum,  Roll on over there to see what this beast will end up looking like. 

    Forum registration is required to see the photos, but its free so what are you waiting for! 

    Although the Chinese New Year festival was important to DFI's headquarters, the R&D team of DFI hasn't slowed down at all, in order to launch the new product of X48 motherboard well ahead of the preset schedule. DFI's LANParty LT X48-T3R is now just around the corner, ready to greet our enthusiasts throughout the world. This motherboard, based on Intel LGA775 socket CPU, will fully support the latest Intel 45nm process Quad-core CPU. Our LANParty UT X48-T3R features the highest end of Intel X48 + ICH9R chipset. It provides enthusiasts with a powerful strength that supports the latest CrossFire technology and the fastest FSB1600MHz, DDR3 1333 memory. Besides this, a server grade model, LP UT X48-T3R provides even more goodies such as the utmost Volterra 8-phase Digital PWM, full solid state aluminum capacitors, and Marvell's dual gigabit LAN chip which surely enhances the overall teaming function. Users kept telling DFI that the BIOS design is the "soul" of a motherboard; we listened and now we are coming up with the most elaborated version of BIOS for every finished board that rolls out from our factory. For enthusiasts, this means the ability to tweak their monster gear with unlimited choices of BIOS environment. The combination of Genie BIOS and CMOS Reload is the ultimate weapon to help every knight of our enthusiasts to beat the beast, over again and again.

    You will also be happy to notice an eye-catching feature on our LANParty UT X48-T3R board, a powerful heat pipe cooler, we called "heat freezer". It is a first-in-industry invention that resulted from our cooperation with The ThermalRight Company, a world renowned, professional manufacturer in the computer cooler industry. ThermalRight is highly regarded by the computer world for its creativity and expertise in the heat dissipation process. It has been with great honor that DFI involves ThermalRight in developing a supreme quality cooler such as our "heat freezer" for servers. Every LANParty UT series motherboard is now equipped with the exclusive sub-assembly. For this, DFI has just pushed the motherboard standard a step farther. While you are serious in the game world, you would not want to miss a board with the utmost, state-of-the-art heat freezer feature.

  • Noctua NH-U12P CPU Cooler @ APH Networks

    Published: Sunday, February 24, 2008 | By: Dennis

    You have to wonder about these tower style heatsinks, I mean we already know they cool well but has the market gotten that stagnant??

    The market for CPU heatsink and fans has grown quite saturated -- but with this saturation also comes a diversity that allows for a different heatsink to suit every preference. From performance heatsinks, noise conscious designs, to value/budget products, there's at least a dozen from various brands to fill in the specific market niche -- or maybe even a combination of two or more.

    Seems they were thinking the very same thing. 

  • ADATA 2GB Mickey Mouse USB Drive Review @ Virtual-Hideout

    Published: Sunday, February 24, 2008 | By: Dennis

    Here is a short and sweet review, of a product we have already done wink smile Check out our review here.

    The Adata Disney Series 2GB USB Drive is a cool idea and will naturally end up being a popular gift if you want to send or take something home reminding you of Disney. It's a cool idea that'll appeal to everyone's better nature without the theme park price tag. This should please a lot of people. And the novelty of it should resonate among the younger people. My daughter saw the pictures from CES and thought it was the coolest thing for kids who want to take music over their friends house, or for school projects. She knew exactly what it would probably best be suited. So, you can imagine the excitement level while taking pictures. I'd like to have played with it a little longer, but apparently, it's not my turn anymore.

    Sorry about the long ass quote, seriously though this quote it longer than the whole article!

  • CoolJag Falcon 92-CU CPU Cooler Review @ Hardware Canucks

    Published: Sunday, February 24, 2008 | By: Dennis

    Ok, here we have the copper version of the super cool cooler from CoolJag that we reviewed last year.  Performance was excellent and the bling bling fan really topped it off. happy smile

    CoolJag is not a very well-known company in the cooling market but they are quickly trying to make a name for themselves. With the release of their Falcon 92-CU it looks like they have done just that. This all-copper CPU cooler promises to be the best air cooler on the market but can its performance match that claim?

    Well all know that CoolJag has been around for years, nobody hears about them because they deal mostly with OEMs and companies looking to rebrand their stuffs.

  • A brief look at three-way SLI @ The Tech Report

    Published: Monday, February 18, 2008 | By: Dennis

    This is what you would call, Insane.

    Sign me up!

    At this point, my editor, if I had one, would probably be clobbering me. No doubt I could more profitably be spending my time reviewing hardware that most folks might actually, you know, want to purchase. And heck, I'm getting really close on that review of the 45nm Core 2 Duos—honest. But I couldn't resist a brief detour involving a howling phalanx of GeForce 8800 Ultras, mostly because I wanted to see whether we'd finally found the hardware equal to the task of making Crysis run smoothly at high resolutions and quality levels.

    there is at least 1500 bux with of video card on that board, not to mention the 1200 Watt PSU.

    What you get for your trouble, of course, is one of the most astoundingly powerful GPU configurations anywhere, with a total of 2.25GB of GDDR3 memory dedicated to video RAM and over 1.7 teraflops of raw shader power. In fact, don't even bother going for a three-way system unless you're going to hook it up to at least a 30" display with something like 2560x1600 resolution. Anything less would be a waste in most of today's games. You're going to want to push display resolutions and quality levels to the max in order to make the most of three-way SLI.

    Funny how companies will do something just because they can.  Then again we're glad they did. big grin smile

    Memory blocks are fun and easy to make, first you get a news inbox and tell people from all over to submit your news articles for evaluation.

    Then you decide how many news articles you can post without going insane.

    Run some math on the numbers and decide what can be grouped together for easy reading.

    The result.....  A bunch of links in a single news post.
