  • SUB-ZERO ExodusFlow Altauna CPU Water Block Review @ MadShrimps

    Published: Monday, July 9, 2007 | By: Dennis

    Madshrimps seems to get their hands on some of the strangest stuff, and while this waterblock review has no benchmark system for reference I have to admit the blocks do look pretty good.

    Almost makes me wonder what the state of enthusiast watercooling really is?
    Watercooling.de has had design and manufacturing input in several water blocks they've sold online over the past five years. My first introduction to German engineered water blocks was through this store when I tested the original CF1 Microstructure block and later with the "upgrade kit" compared it to popular USA system Dangr Den TDX vs. CF1 Rev.2. Watercooling.de's recent arrival has already received high praise from other testers, so today I test the new SUB-ZERO ExodusFlow Altauna, will it earn my "Brass O-Ring"? "
    I'm not the best at assembling English phrases but damn... these need some work. wink smile  I can't dis though the .de in the domain really explains everything.

    Review blocks are an easy way to get more links into the news, I'm hoping that in the future I can get an RSS digester to automate this task but until then... yep you guessed it I get to decide what makes the cut and what doesn't.

  • AuzenTech HDA X Plosion 7.1 Review - XSReviews

    Published: Monday, July 9, 2007 | By: Dennis

    I can agree with this quote, never been a big can of Creative even though my very first sound card was a Sound Blaster 16 I got off their band wagon as soon as I could in hopes of finding something better.  AuzenTech might have that base covered.
    Whetheryou love or hate them, Creative has become the most well-known PC audioadd-in card supplier. While their X-Fi range of cards pleased manygamers, the lack of Vista drivers caused an equal quantity of miffedcustomers. Auzentech are now out to prove there are alternatives outthere, and they are even releasing an X-Fi chip card soon. Todayhowever I have their HDA X plosion 7.1 DTS Connect card. The X-Fikiller?

  • DSL Downtime - Fun times

    Published: Sunday, July 8, 2007 | By: Dennis

    Back in the early days of High-Speed Internet outages and general issues with your Internet connection were very common.  I remember having to resort to Dial-Up for over a week when my Cable connection went down but after moving into the new Ninjalane Labs and switching to DSL outages and general problems became a thing of the past.

    That is until Saturday evening @ 10pm MST when (as reported by Qwest) one of the DSL servers hosting the Ninjalane account went down.  I their reason was a cop out for a larger issue but it still met we were Internet access here in the Lab until the issue was resolved.

    As you can imagine access has been restored.  News and Articles are to follow.happy smile
