Samsung LTM295W 29" LCD @ Monkeyreview
Published: Monday, June 9, 2003 | By: Dennis"At the end of this review, I am pleased to say that every aspect aside from perhaps the cost pleased me. The Samsung LTM295W is a prime example of what home entertainment is all about."
Since Ninjalane specializes in rare, expensive and/or high performance items, I think this Samsung monitor would fit nicely in. Especially, on my table...

Prolink GeForceFX 5600 256MB Golden Limited Review @ Tweaktown
Published: Monday, June 9, 2003 | By: DennisProlink decided to pair nVidia's fairly slow chipset with 256mb one of the fastest Samsung's memory chips.
"And this would be Samsung 3.3ns memory modules, and lots of it. How much? How about 256MB! I still see users who don’t have this much memory in their systems, let alone their video cards."
That only leaves me with one question...Why? -
Hercules 3D Prophet Radeon 9800 Pro Review @ Tweaktown
Published: Monday, June 9, 2003 | By: Dennis"Overall the Hercules Radeon 9800 Pro is very nice looking but is held back by the extra $69 US you will pay for a few heatsinks which results in a higher overclock, unfortunately it is very minimal and something the user can perform on other video cards with the simple purchase of Tiny BGA heatsinks., a blue LED and colored PCB from a video card which will set you back around $660 US."
I honestly think that times when people used to spend that kind of money on video cards, are gone... but that's just my opinion. -
AMD Processor breakdown @ CyberCPU.net
Published: Monday, June 9, 2003 | By: Dennis"I always have people asking me what the actual MHz are on a particular Athlon XP processor so I decided to put together a chart that goes over some of the basic specs of the Athlon XP
processors."
Sometimes I believe it would be just easier if AMD would go back to the original Mhz/Ghz markings... -
Vantec Spectrum UV LED Fans @ The Tech Lounge
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2003 | By: Dennis"I mentioned in the other review that the UV fans "kick ass." Now, just think of something "kick ass" that lights up by itself, and you should have a good idea of what these fans are like."
These LED fans are getting to be pretty popular and just to think not long ago Antec was out to sue everyone that was making them. -
Chenbro CH11L-BK Review @ Maximum OC
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2003 | By: Dennis"They include a swivel power switch (like a PSU switch but it snaps back) and they include a button that isn't a reset button (something else), but they also give you a reset button in a plastic bag."
Rack mounted cases aren't for everyone; the racks are expensive and can take up a ton of space. -
Heatsink Lapping Kit Review @ OC Ware
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2003 | By: Dennis"Lapping serves one purpose - to get better temperatures. Because of this, it's fairly common practice among those looking to squeeze every last megahert out of thier processors. Lapping is simply grinding the surface of your heatsink, waterblock, or processor down slightly in order to smooth out the bumps and imperfections."
You can also make your own lapping kit with a quick trip to Home Depot.

VIA EPIA M10000 Nehemiah Mini-ITX @ Me No Geek
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2003 | By: DennisThe site is actually called "I Am Not A Geek",but I think they are in denial.
maybe we should go attend some GA meetings this weekend, any takers?
"Taking our first look at the EPIA M10000 itself, we can recognize some of the basic features in the below left image: 1 PCI slot, 1 DDR slot, 2 IDE connectors, 1 floppy connector, and the embedded 1GHZ Nehemiah C3 processor with heatsink/fan. Before taking a closer look at the features of the mainboard, lets compare its size to a standard ATX form factor motherboard."
Talk about SUPA! small, the board could fit just about anywhere. I can see it now, 6 Mini-ITX boards in a 1U server case rackmounted with 200 others in a huge Linux cluster. Now that would be geeky. -
Abit IC7-G Review @ Digital-Daily
Published: Saturday, June 7, 2003 | By: DennisCanterwood is where its at if you are itching ot run a 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4.
"The conclusion - the Abit IC7-G board has very powerful overclocking potentials. And a testing overclocking proves this: the board worked stable on FSB=284MHz, and this was 3.4GHz for the testing processor Pentium4 with 2.4GHz."
The 2.4C processors are actually pretty cheap, I might just have to go out and buy one. That is unless someone at Intel is nice enough to send one over.
