|  | New Mini-ITX from Advantech
Friday, October 19, 2007
The IP Communications Group talks about Advantech's new Mini-ITX board but also spares a mention for the golden oldies that "are still found in many telecom-related devices, if only because they cost less than full-sized passive backplanes." VIA gets a brief mention for introducing the Mini-ITX low power motherboard form factor in 2001. The whole article can be found here. |   |

OCC test drives the Creative Fatal1ty Gaming Headset in combination with the Creative Fatal1ty Xtreme Gamer sound card. It just makes everything a whole lot simpler. "Under your speakers tab you can select what type of setup you have. In this case, of course we will be selecting headphones. Then under the X-Fi CMSS-3D tab you will want to make sure CMSS-3D is enabled in order to reap the full benefits from this headset's abilities." Will the performance be worth writing home about? Gideon Tech is interested in the specs and performance of the Logisys 550W LED Acrylic Power Supply. "Logisys claims they are originators of the clear power supply according to their website. With this model, they plan to provide more power and visuals while keeping the noise down." They put it through the usual battery of tests. Will Logisys live up to its promise? Virtual Hideout is used to getting a hold of the weird and the wacky so it's no surprise that they have yet another fascinating review on the table. Fondly called "The Griddle," the Gemin II CPU cooler from CoolerMaster provides cooling for not just the CPU but other motherboard components surrounding it as well, including the capacitor and RAM. Don't miss this "cool" review. | |

If you want to find out what they get from part numbers like Micron D9GMH, you've come to the right place.

TweakNews is mighty pleased with the Kingwin Z1 Hard Drive enclosure. "Ease of use, good looks, and choice of colors adds up to a winning combination. I had no problems installing a drive, and it was immediately recognized by Windows." Users of Windows 98, however, may still face some driver issues. XP users will be home free with the driverless installation process. Take a look at the case for yourself. Other case reviews that might grab your fancy include the following:
