It's late, and I'm doing reviews ... here they are for you: (5 Comments) (link)
 Wednesday, 2-June-2004  00:51:32 (GMT +10) - by Wolfy

Lets start with more AMD Socket 939 links:
Bit Tech.
Sudhian.
Trusted Reviews.
Legit Reviews.

Quite a number of Cases and Mods:
The CasEdge Diabolic Minotaur reviewed at Legion Hardware. I actually noticed this case with horns on a local store's website yesterday.
The Asus Pundit barebones enscape.net.
OCZ 420w PSU at DriverHeaven.
Chenbro Xpider Gaming Bomb reviewed at ExtremeReviews. Lots of these, in various colours, around locally as well.
Thermaltake Xaser V Series WinGo V8000A Case at ModSynergy.
Lian Li V-1100 Aluminum Mid-Tower at GruntVille.
A very pocket sized review of the Thermaltake XTunner at A1 Electronics.net,
but there is lot more detail on the XTunner here on Overclocker Cafe's review.

Motherboards:
MSI K8N Neo Platinum, MSI's latest Athlon 64 board sporting the NVIDIA nForce 3 250Gb chipset is reviewed at ViperLair.

Memory:
Transcend DDR500 PC4000 Memory at TheTechLounge.

Cooling:
Gigabyte, the popular motherboard manufacturer have produced their first CPU coolers.
The Gigabyte 3D Cooler Ultra GT Edition is reviewed at Hardcoreware.
The universal socket design, large and heavy cooler has the following features: "copper heatsink design, a dual inlet central blower fan, 4 way heat pipe technology, linear fan speed and noise controller, LED light display".
The Samurai is the latest heatsink from Scythe and reviewed here by Madshrimps.
Foxconn Heat Guzzler, a heat-pipe based CPU cooler, reviewed here at ExtremeReviews.
Two water block previews for you:
The Danger Den TDX Water Block at MadShrimps.
And Titan TWC-A04 Watercooling Kit at at Guru Review.

Drives and Storage:
NEC ND2510A DVD+R9 Dual layer DVD at TrustedReviews.
The Maxtor DiamondMax Plus 9 SATA drive performs read operations well but writes poorly according to this 2 page review at ByteSector.

Monitors:
Samsung SyncMaster 192MP at OverclockersClub.

Networking and Wireless:
I'm not sure that Designtechnica were too happy with the performance of the D-Link DI-624 802.11G.

Sound Stuff:
Tech Zone ask "Are you ready to rock!?" when they review the Klipsch ProMedia Ultra 5.1 speaker system.
iRiver H140 40GB Hard disk player at Bytesector.
T5400 5.1, Creative’s "budget-friendly" 5.1 speaker system at TheTechLounge.
Jensofsweden Mp130 mp3 player at R&B.
Altec Lansing AHP 512 studio phones at PC Tech Zone.

Misc:
Nokia 3220 Camera Phone 1 page preview by Modtown
SST-SDP01 6-in-1 card reader at XYZ COMPUTING.
Tweeknews have had a look at the Vantec Cable Sleeving kit, but I do have to wonder if its better than the spiral-wrap, cable-ties and heatshrink tubing you buy at the local electronics shop, but it does come in pretty colours and glow under UV light.

I do believe the guys at Hi-TechReviews are serious when they looked at the Sunbeam Tech USB Coffee Warmer
... but then again maybe they should just be using a super sized OCAU mug instead?

USB memory in a pocket knife: USB Victorinox SwissMemory Pendrive, from Swissbit AG (a Swiss data memory specialist) and Vitorinox, as seen here at Hard-h20.
