A+GPB A-AP107 Case Review @ Modsynergy
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2003 | By: DennisI've seen quite a few cases being damaged during the shipping, especially on their sides. Maybe it's time resellers start putting some extra foam as we all know that shipping companies don't give a rat's ass about stuff they're shipping.
"Remember the box? Well here is the side of the case. See something missing? The plexi-glass is cracked and the side panel is somewhat bent. The packaging had foam at the top and bottom but none on the sides. Looks like I have bad luck with A+GPB cases. The side of the case features a side window with a Tri-LED fan on the plexi. The plexi-glass is sitting flat on the panel but unfortunately it cracked." -

Titan Datacooler DWC-A1 Water Cooler Review @ Madshrimps
Published: Sunday, September 21, 2003 | By: DennisThis is probably the most compact fully-functional watercooling setup I've ever seen in my life. Might be a good solution for those seeking for noiseless operation with decent temperatures.
"Most water blocks are not more than a piece of aluminum/copper with a channel drilled into it. But what would happen if you put fins and a fan on it? Probably it will improve your temperature, as you cool everything down at the source. Datacooler used this and I think they succeeded in it." -
Abit Mounts Strong Comeback in Mobo Market
Published: Friday, September 19, 2003 | By: Dennis"In a bid to recoup market share, Abit has utilized new techniques to develop products that do not fall into the same segments as those of major competitors. Its high-end MAX3 line is targeted mainly at power-users such as gamers.
Except for slower progress in the North American market, the motherboards are enjoying a brisk and sustained sales recovery in Asia and Europe. Total shipments reached 190,000 units in both July and August. Lin is confident that the figure will rise to over 200,000 in September." -

Gainward Powerpack FX Ultra/1600 GS CoolFX Review @ Digital-Life
Published: Thursday, September 18, 2003 | By: DennisIt makes you wonder who would shell out 900 bucks for a video card. Especially, for the one that overclocks the same as those ones on air. On the other hand, if they made one, someone will probably buy one.
"The center of our attention today will be a video card outfitted with a water-cooling system. I don't think many would want a card priced at 800 euros. That is why the Gainward Powepack FX Ultra/1600 GS CoolFX will be reviewed just because it's interesting to take a look at such a unique product as this is the first video card coming with a water cooler." -

CoolerMaster Jet 7 CPU Cooler @ Voided Warranty
Published: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 | By: DennisThe cooler does look very nice and original. Especially, if coupled with aluminum case and a silver PCB motherboard, like one here.
"I'm surprised at how quite it is on high speed. It didn't do too badly against a fan that was turning almost twice as many RPMs. It was only a two-degree difference on high speed. It looks very cool in the case and the red and white LEDs add to the effect." -
X-SuperAlien Case Review @ Furioustech
Published: Wednesday, September 17, 2003 | By: DennisThe case looks like another mod of ever-popular Chenming case that produced a ton of pre-modded cases sold by various on-line stores.
"Cases so many choices, well I had the opportunity to review a modified case called the X-SuperAlien, an all aluminum case packed full of features. This case almost does your laundry! Well maybe I am telling a bit of a tall tale. Want the whole lowdown then read on my friends, and see what I mean!"
