Aopen EX915 XCube @ PCstats.com
"Small Form Factor (SFF) PCs have advanced in leaps and bounds since they were first released by Shuttle a few years ago. PCstats recently reviewed an attractive SFF kit from AOpen, the EX915 XCube. In terms of standard equipment, the system also supports IEEE 1394b, Gigabit LAN, 7.1 channel audio, S-Video out and an onboard videocard. Of course, if you feel the need to upgrade, the AOpen EX915 XCube also includes one 32-bit PCI slot as well as a PCI Express 16x slot for hardcore videocard goodness!"
Mushkin PC3200 L2V2 @ Viper Lair
"Of course true enthusiasts will want to overclock, and the samples I have here have shown themselves to be capable of near PC4000 speeds which is quite a jump from PC3200. Timings had to be loosened to reach the higher speeds but the headroom is there. If you are a mild overclocker of P4 systems, or you run an AMD system, then this ram would be suitable for you."

Thermaltake Xaser Damier V5000A Case Review @ BigBruin.Com
"Thermaltake has embraced the idea that the plain beige, or even black, case is pretty much a thing of the past... Now within your grasp are computer cases that not only offer better cooling, but fancy windows, lights, and other gadgets to make even the most hardy case "modder" take notice. The V5000A is very definitely one of those cases!"

ColorVision Spyder2PRO Studio Monitor Calibration Tool Review @ XYZ Computing
"The colorimeter is able to accurately read the output of the monitor, and uses this information in creating a custom profile that will compensate for any of the monitor's idiosyncrasies. The process takes about ten to fifteen minutes, and when it has completed, the user can view some sample images both with and without the calibration."
