Mobo makers: AMDs Socket M2 to simplify next-generation CPU
Published: Saturday, October 22, 2005 | By: Dennis"AMD’s Socket M2 CPU line will originally target the high-end market, the makers said, noting that the chip vendor has informed them that the 940-pin platform will also be released for the mainstream and entry-level segments next year. AMD is now delivering samples of the next-generation CPU to its downstream customers, the makers added.
During the platform migration, products that support the new Socket M2 and the old Socket 939 and 754 will still be on the market by the end of 2006, according to motherboard makers. The makers expect that AMD’s CPU standardization will help reduce production and handling costs." -

DFI Infinity nF4 Ultra Motherboard Review Posted
Published: Tuesday, October 18, 2005 | By: DennisWhen DFI launched the LanParty line of motherboards they targeted at a very narrow though highly vocal sector of the hardware market with one purpose in mind. To get DFI known in the enthusiast community. The marketing and products were solid and as a result DFI and the LanParty series are household names.

RaidMax Ninja 918 @ Bigbruin
Published: Monday, October 17, 2005 | By: DennisThe natural progression for pre-mods is to first play around with windows and custom front panels, then of course to charge an extra 20 bux to make it seem cool. Then you move to doing something extreme like the Raidmax Samurai. So after that what comes next??
Yep you guessed it, change the style slightly and slap in a window.

Bytecc LANDISK NAS Hard Drive Enclosure @ A True Review
Published: Monday, October 17, 2005 | By: DennisWe had an opportunity to check out this little number ourselves and found it to be a pretty slick little machine.
"One device that makes data even easier to share on a network is an external NAS hard drive. Just as a router allows you to share a single Internet connection without the need for any particular computer to be on, a NAS (which stand for Network Attached Storage) hard drive allows you to share a drive full of data without needing any particular computer to be on. As the availability and popularity of NAS drives continue to rise, NAS enclosures are becoming more available as well. A NAS enclosure allows you to turn any hard drive, old or new, into an external NAS drive. One example is the LANDISK enclosure from Bytecc, which is the subject of this review."

Vantec Stingray Water Cooling Kit @ Hi-Techreviews
Published: Monday, October 17, 2005 | By: DennisThe tubing in this Vantec kit might be too small for high-end watercooling but it should well for any entry level system.
"We have installed the coolant and added some distilled water, as you can tell by the pictures this is a very early stage of it being turned on as the lines still have millions of little air bubbles in it and the reservoir even has a slight head of foam on it. That will all disappear once the system has had time to circulate for an hour or so."
Man check out all dem tubes.
