Soltek SL-K890Pro-939 Review @ The Tech Report
Published: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 | By: DennisWe recently reviewed this motherboard and found it to be one of the best performing PCI Express boards in our labs to date. This was due in part to our Chaintech 6600GT.
"Had it been released earlier, a board like Soltek's K8T890-based SL-K890PRO-939 could have been among the first PCI Express platforms for the Athlon 64. Now it faces a market filled with motherboards based on NVIDIA's nForce4 chipset family that have raised our expectations for the marriage of PCI-E and AMD64."
One thing I have always liked about The Tech Report is how they take their photos. They kind of look like the stuff I've been posting for the past many years. -
BFG VNF4 Ultra Motherboard Review @ AMD Review
Published: Wednesday, March 16, 2005 | By: DennisHere is a first, BFG (yes the video card company) has released a motherboard based on the nVidia nForce4 Ultra. A must see for history sake.
"The one thing everyone wants to know, should I buy this board? Well if you are looking for a good nForce 4 board, and you don't want to go SLI, then this board is one of the best ones to get. The nForce 4 Ultra chipset has all the features that a SLI board has except the SLI."
Not to many photos in this review, in fact I think they took a couple high res photos of the board and then chopped them up to display on the website.
Just an observation. -

"With DFI’s philosophy of not having to be first, but being the best, I have eagerly been waiting for the release of their socket 939 solution, and finally my wait is over. With features like SLI (Scaleable Link Interface), PCI-Express, NVidia’s NForce 4 Chipset, SATA II and NCQ (Native Command Queuing) support, Karajan 8 channel audio, as well as DFI’s assortment of management tools, how can you not be excited?" -

Holy Cow Look at the Time.
Published: Monday, March 14, 2005 | By: DennisSorry for the lateness in my postings it would seem that when you get ready to deploy an ASP.net website you had better confirm what version of .net is installed on the server.
You see I spend the better part of 3 weeks working on some website upgrades for a client of mine and when I got ready to deploy the site hardly anything worked! As it turned out the hosting company was running ver 1.0 where I wrote everything to work with ver 1.1 Needless to say I spent the next 4 hours converting code and testing the changes. Not really the way I wanted to spend the last day of the weekend.
I digress most of you are here to see hardware news so I'll see about getting some posted. -

Thermaltake Beetle Review @ InsaneTek
Published: Thursday, March 10, 2005 | By: DennisWhen I saw this news posting in my inbox I was pretty much "WFT?". Much to my surprise, the heatsink does look like a giant beetle legs and all. If anything check the review out for the photos.
"The Thermaltake Beetle's packaging comes in a plastic box. It is compatible with the Intel P4 478, 775, and the AMD K7 and K8 sockets. Unlike the Big Typhoon, the beetle utilizes a 92mm fan that is included with the heatsink. On the back of the heatsink, there are four mounting holes for an optional 80mm fan." -
When Will Ugly Computer Cases Disappear? @ CoolTechZone
Published: Thursday, March 10, 2005 | By: DennisNow here is something I too feel strongly about. fuGly Computer cases. In retrospect I should have written something like this sooner.
"A few years ago when companies began introducing their pre-modded computer cases, it is safe to say that the majority of the enthusiast community was quite excited to see something unique being brought to the market. These new cases were aimed at the person that did not possess the skills or have the time required to perform tedious case mods."
I still say, get a good case, develop some skillz, and start modding.
