Considering: Gateway NX560
I've got a question for you: I'm looking for a reasonable new laptop machine, and I've heard decent things about Gateway quality and relative freedom from problems. The new NX560 with Core Duo T2300 and ATi X1400 video looks very appealing to me, and it appears to be the best value I'll be able to f...

Ok, the email to Nexus has been sent. Let's see if they listen to the consumer. I'd like: the greater than 80% efficiency, a big open front intake grille, and big heatsinking that will let the power supply run passive when not under load, and a fan control circuit that won't spin up the fan until th...

If the Fortron had more venting area (see drawing -- linked ) it would be a much nicer option. A fan swap would not be that hard to do, though. At the least, it would be a good circuit design, if we could get a Nexus version with a quiet fan and more chassis venting (like there is on the back panel ...

My point is that the people who are covert marketing for a brand's products DO NOT identify themselves as being affiliated with a company or having some financial interest in the success of a company or its marketing efforts. That's why I didn't include a third option in my poll - the very idea of g...

Take a look at the ASUS X1600XT with the heatpiped passive heatsink. This is what I'd like to see, but I'd want it on a larger scale. In what I'd like to see, there would be something like four heatpipes coming out of the top of the video card (the edge that faces you when you look into the computer...

Asus passive-cooled X1600XT
Ok, so over on Newegg, I found an ASUS card based on the ATi X1600XT chipset, and it uses a nice big heatsink that's still low-profle enough that I can use two on an ATi Crossfire motherboard. Do you think this is an okay idea as long as I use a fan bracket? Or is the X1600XT such a waste, even in C...

That's my aim as well. My new computer is going to have 5 fans in it but ideally when at idle, only two will be spinning, and slowly. I'm looking at a pair of ATI X1600XT in crossfire, because I found an ASUS version that has a passive dual-heatpipe heatsink. I think I'll post a thread and ask about...

Well, it is intended that all the advertising on here is to be paid. Companies want to put their ads all over the place but don't want to pay for the ad space, so that makes guerilla marketing all the more attractive. The bottom line is that, whatever the reason companies attempt it for, it has the ...

This Site's Policy Towards 'Viral Marketing'
With the recent increase in the number of companies conducting 'viral marketing' campaigns on web forums, I feel it's appropriate to ask about this site's policy towards this so-called 'viral marketing', and open the topic up for public discussion. Addendum: This is also referred to as 'guerilla mar...

Is that supposed to be a sales pitch? I don't think 'viral marketing' is tolerated here. If you're not a paid endorser, I apologize. You just seem very enthusiastic. You can't be too careful these days with all the viral marketing going on. A number of posters on the NVidia message board were recent...

Well, Antec, it's time to cough up a new NeoHE for me. I tested my power supply on my friend's Athlon 64/ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe rig, plugging it into everything the other power supply (a ghetto Raidmax unit) was plugged into. It did the same thing - fans spun up for a second, and then everything shut o...

New PSU from Scythe - the Beef Bowl?!
It will be interesting to read a review of Scythe's new 120mm fan PSU. Get ready for - The Beef Bowl. 120mm fan, with a selectable thermal control mode that supposedly lets the fan get as quiet as 16 dBa. But at full speed, Scythe says it will crank out 30dB. So...why "Beef Bowl"? According to Scyth...
