Project : Ring Light 
When taking close up photos, the lighting can become a problem. The good old flash works most of the time but usually it leaves nasty shadows that do not go well with the photo. In this project we will deal with the problem by constructing a Ring Light that removes these shadows.

Corsair Obsidian 800D 
It has been quite a while since the Obsidian 800D first appeared in press shots, but now the chassis finally made its way to our test lab. Now let's see if Corsair manages to keep up their reputation in great entries, or if the 800D will fall into the ever-growing markets of average cases.

Thermaltake Element Q 
This time we have a (almost) fanless case from Thermaltake's Element Q VL5000 series under some testing. It's a compact case designed mainly for mini-ITX boards with small heatsinks (Atom boards for example).

Silverstone GD04 
Just a few weeks back we reviewed the Silverstone GD03 HTPC case and despite some flaws, we liked it. Since then the Silverstone has already come up with a new model - GD04. It obviously sits in the same product range and indeed is similar in many ways, but we still felt it was differed enough for a dedicated review.

HIS Radeon HD5770 1 GB 
While the HD58xx-series card may have a bit more kick to them, the HD5770 should be able to give the consumers good performance with a decent price. To help us find out, HIS hooked us up with a HD5770.

NZXT PANZERBOX 
Most of NZXT's cases tend to be rather eye-catching, and previously we've had the Rogue and the Tempest from their product range for closer inspection. The previous two cases differed greatly from each other, so lets see what course their latest offering takes - Introducing the Panzerbox.

  • Terry Makedon “CatalystMaker” Interview @ InsideHW - InsideHW
    Did you ever ask yourself how ATI drivers are made, and who makes them? Well, first of all, there are three teams that work on the same driver code at the same time! Why? Continue reading this interesting interview that we had opportunity to conduct with Terry Makedon, Catalyst drivers maker for AMD/ATI graphics cards, and you will found out…
  • NZXT M59 Mid-Tower Computer Case Review - Benchmark Reviews
    I am a case snob. The cases I like are brushed aluminum, have removable motherboard trays, neatly rolled edges, finished interiors, cable management, and so forth. They have SATA backplanes and mounts for triple-120 radiators. A certain degree of style doesn\'t hurt, either. Of course cases like this are expensive, but since I have to look at them all day, I figure they\'re worth it. In this article, Benchmark Reviews inspects the NZXT M59 Mid-Tower computer case, which at a suggested retail price of $59.99 is hardly in the milieu I\'m become accustomed to. Will the design flair evident in NZXT\'s $400 Khaos gaming case be in evidence here? Let\'s see.
  • A New Patch For Radeon DRM Power Savings - Phoronix
    While OpenGL acceleration and GPU-assisted video playback are often most viewed as the areas that are severely lacking for the open-source Linux graphics drivers in comparison to what the binary-only ATI/NVIDIA drivers offer, another area that has not yet caught up to speed with the binary competition is power management. For years (going back to 2005) AMD has implemented PowerPlay support in their fglrx driver for dynamically clocking the GPU and memory clocks along with adjusting the voltages accordingly, based upon the user's input and then later generations of PowerPlay are more dynamic in nature...

    Mit dem DP55KG präsentiert Intel seine eigene Umsetzung des P55 Mainstream Chipsatzes zu einem finalen Mainboard. Neben acht SATA Anschlüssen kann Intels DP55KG auch zwei PCI-Express x16 Slots aufweisen.

  • WindowBlinds 7 Review - OCModShop
    Vista was quickly replaced by the new Windows 7, which has the same Aero desktop but a much improved usability. One of the few things that Windows 7 lacks is the ability to customize the desktop to the extent that Windows XP had. Stardock Software has offered WindowBlinds as a way to customize your desktop, but their new release supports Windows 7, which means that hard-core tweakers can finally have the desktop their way again. Not everything is a bucket of roses, as you'll see when you read our testing.

Finished case. The borders of the frontpanel are lighter because I used plexy glass for the sides. I'll be making a new not-so-fancy case soon, because this case is a bit too unpractical. To change a card (graphics card, sound card etc) I have to remove the PSU out from the way etc. The next case will be bigger and I'll desing the cooling so it will be efficient and quiet.Other Picture
