Cooljag Falcon 92-AL AMD/INTEL CPU Cooler Review @ Tweaknews
Published: Thursday, June 14, 2007 | By: DennisFunny thing about this quote..
It takes a fair amount of guts to enter an established market with a new product and little name recognition. Especially the enthusiast CPU cooler market. You'd better have a good product with some solid performance. With the Falcon 92-Al, it looks like Cooljag will be making a name for themselves. This cooler easily outperforms the stocker and does so in a very quiet, unassuming manner.
CoolJag isn't new or even remotely new, the difference is CoolJag has been rather silent lately due to a market shift from the hi quality skived fin heatsinks to the uber huge heatpipe versions.
We actually have one of these coolers in the Ninjalane Labs so expect to see our version of this review real soon. -

Building a super UPS @ Icrontic
Published: Thursday, June 14, 2007 | By: DennisNormally when you require a UPS the local computer and/or electronics store has you covered but when power demands exceed the pocket book you have to take matters into your own hands.
Personally I would have used sealed batteries for this project (and will if I ever decide to build one from scratch) as they are safer for indoor use, spill proof, and provide greater power output and longer life. (I had one in my truck that lasted 10 years with 5 being under heavy load from the uber car stereo)
My application, however, demands a bit more. I have a fully kitted-outoffice at home with a workstation that runs two PCs, a 4-in-1 digitalscanner/printer, an inkjet printer, a DSL broadband router, a wirelessnetwork router, and two sets of speakers. There are also a fax machine,and a mobile handset that is useless when its base goes dead. -

BTW I'm interested to hear what you think about the new Ninjalane, drop us a line and let your voice be heard. -

Day 3 and 4 Coming soon
Published: Friday, June 8, 2007 | By: DennisThe fun thing about visiting Computex is that everyone is extremely nice and while some of the sales folks try to express their stereotypes of people from Idaho they are easily convinced otherwise. We had some pretty late nights here in Taipei and it was really time to get some good sleep. Sorry for the delay but be assured day 3 and 4 of our Computex coverage will be coming soon.

Cooljag Falcon 92-Al Heatsink Review @ Frostytech.com
Published: Monday, June 4, 2007 | By: DennisWe actually have one of these fancy coolers here in the Ninjalane Labs however with the Computex push we have yet to put it thru the paces.
The Cooljag Falcon 92-AL is an aluminum heatsink designed for use on the latest Intel and AMD processors. It has a 92mm internally illuminated which is thermally responsive (it changes speed based in case air temp.), and on the while the heatsink operates quietly. Like many heatsinks being released this year, the Falcon 92-AL is a two part deal.
Here is a review of the copper version

APEVIA X-Qpack2 Micro Enclosure Review @ Virtual-Hideout
Published: Monday, June 4, 2007 | By: DennisHere is a fun little HTPC'ish case in m-ATX form. This case is of course a pre-mod but is done so in a fairly tasteful manner.
Apevia Corporation is the new name for Aspire International Corporation which was established in March 1999. Due to lots of confusions between Aspire cases, Acer's Aspire Notebook systems and Aspire Credit Cards, we have decided to change our name to Apevia Corporation in June 2006. With the strategy of standing behind our customers to ensure their total satisfaction, -
Guide: Open hard drive surgery @ AOA
Published: Sunday, June 3, 2007 | By: DennisHere is a fun little guide on how to perform open drive surgery.
What do you do when you have a dead drive with data that you really,
REALLY need to recover? Well, you can either send the drive to a data
recovery outfit and spend lottabucks, or you can take the approach of
the hardware hacker, and find another drive in your junk pile that is
similar enough to swap platters.
