  The high res download is about 6 megs and requires Quicktime 6 to view. Check it out.

• The guts of a Gamecube @ enscape

  Published: Friday, January 2, 2004 | By: Dennis

  "So now you have the front flipped down and you can see the LED looking at you. I know you want to replace it, go ahead. Nintendo won't hate you for it - no! In fact they will just cancel your warranty."
  I never believed how small the Gamecube was until I finally saw one in person; the thing is super tiny being only slightly larger than a full sized CD.

• Chaintech ZNF3-150 Review @ ipKonfig

  Published: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "Overall we're impressed with the first motherboard from Chaintech aimed at the AMD Athlon 64. There are many items packaged with its product, as is quite common from Chaintech, and of those, many are actually used frequently. We also like the fact that the rounded cables supplied are extremely flexible, a nice addition for those cramped computer cases we're all too familiar with."
  We liked the Chaintech ZNF3-150 Athlon64 motherboard as well; the system was super stable and came with a huge amount of extra goodies. The only downside to the current nForce3 scene is the pending release of the nF3-250 that promises to sport better performance and hopefully better overclocking.

• Bytecc Aluminum Mobile Enclosure Review @ TechTastic

  Published: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "Do you need a way to transfer huge amounts of data between computers and a flash drive just won't do the job? Well Bytecc has just the thing with their Aluminum Mobile enclosure. This handy gadget converts any hard drive into a USB device."
  This enclosure from Bytecc is by far one the most versatile products I have ever used and recently became a permanent addition to the Ninjalane Labs. Check out our review here

• CasEdge Limited Edition Gamer Case Review @ Extreme Overclocking

  Published: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | By: Dennis

  I've been noticing a growing trend in the pre-mod case market to totally transform the case into something a little more artisy. Case in point the Raidmax "Alien'ish" Case seen at Computex and now the CasEdge Minotaur.
  "The Diabolic Series cases are available in several trendy colors: Electric Yellow, Venom Green, Storm Blue, Blood Red, and Arcane Purple. Power supply choices come in 300w, 350w, or 400w, and are ODM for CasEdge by SPI (Sparkle Power Inc)."
  Both look pretty sweet.

• Evercool Extended Cooling System @ A True Review

  Published: Wednesday, December 31, 2003 | By: Dennis

  "There are generally three states the computer’s CPU can be in: load, idle, or off. Processors are hottest during load. When idle, though not as hot as load, the CPU is still quite hot. Finally, when the computer is off, the CPU will eventually cool to room temperature. Of course, you all knew that."
  What ever became of "Ride hard and put away wet", oh wait that only applies to horses.

• Web Traffic Downward Sprial

  Published: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 | By: Dennis

  It would appear that the fight for Ninjalane web traffic was lost over the Christmas holiday. Pageviews are still on the up and up but total user sessions are down. Kind of sad really but what can you do?
  
  I have a couple of cool reviews in the pipe that will be posted in the next couple of weeks. Exciting stuff even, so stay tuned.
