Heat is always a concern for any power system builder. To help meet the thermal dissipation demands of power users, MSI introduced its Twin Frozr thermal design. We originally learned about the Twin Frozr cooling system when it was first introduced with the N285GTX SuperPipe in March. Now, MSI is pushing the cooling system into the spotlight again by calling it one of the best designs available on the market today. According to MSI, what makes the Twin Frozr so special is its combination of fans, base, and heatpipes.

Sans Digital definitely isn’t a household name in the NAS / external storage industry, but the outfit’s latest devices are definitely sharp. So sharp, in fact, that we could see them giving the latest from LaCie a run for the design dollars. This week, the company expanded its TowerRAID series by adding mini-SAS interfaces. The TowerRAID TR4X / TR4X-B is a 4-bay tower with a single mini-SAS connection, while the TR8X / TR8X-B is an 8-bay tower with two mini-SAS connectors. Both units are fully compatible with

ASUS has taken one of natures most beautiful designs and combined it with the best of todays innovations to provide users with the most stylishly functional Eee PC yet. Weighing just 1.1kg, the Eee PC Seashell is a highly portable companion that users can carry about, allowing them to surf the Internet, watch videos or keep in touch with their friends and familyeven while at the beach. Equipped with a more-than-ample 10-inch display, ergonomically designed keyboard, intelligent energy management system and an intuitive multi-touch touch-pad, the Eee PC Seashell aims to provide users with the best mobile computing experience, wherever their journeys take them.

With a design inspired by a seashell, the Eee PC Seashell is enveloped in an opalescent glossy exteriorcreated through In-Mold Roller technologythat is not only a head-turner wherever it goes, but also serves as a protective shell providing scratch resistance for day-to-day durability. Like the light sprinkling of fine sand on the exterior of a seashell, the lid is graced with tiny reflective specks which glisten in the light, adding the crowning touches to an already exquisite design. Likened to prying open an oyster to reveal its treasure within, the subtly curved lid reveals a 10-inch LED-backlit WSVGA glare-type display which provides users with a more-than-ample view for documents and multimedia files. An ergonomically designed keyboard makes typing on-the-move a breeze, measuring in at 92% compared to its conventional desktop counterpart.

When was the last time a major OEM reached out to you and asked for direct, personal input on what you’d like to see in an upcoming notebook or netbook product?  Chances are your response is something to the effect of “never” or not since the day they started using them fancy LCDs versus the port-hole sized monochrome tubes you were playing Leisure Suit Larry on.You might have noticed, seeing as there are just a few ad banners in rotation beckoning you to the site, that a few of us here at

Good news for Intel, chip makers, PC manufacturers and the economy at large: Intel’s CEO is seemingly upbeat about the industry, and recently stated that things were “so far, so good” in Q2. The comment came from the top man Paul Otellini, where we was addressing analysts during a conference call this week. Specifically, he noted that chip orders have been “a little better than expected,” and compared to how rough Q1 was, this news is even more wonderful to hear. Mr. Otellini also proclaimed that he stood by

The SSD market is incredibly hot at the moment. Not only is there a consistent influx of new products that seemingly leapfrog the previous generation in nearly every way, but already established products have been treated to firmware updates that enhance their performance and capabilities as well.Over the course of the last few months, we rounded up a number of solid state drives and featured products from Intel, OCZ, and others independently. Ultimately, we found that Intel’s X25-M series of drives was the

Well, well — we suppose it was only a matter of time. Just about anyone who is anyone is diving head first into the cloud phenomenon (that includes Google, Panda, AMD and CherryPal to name a few), and thus, so will Ubuntu. What’s likely the world’s most well known flavor of Linux has decided to debut another varient: Ubuntu One. Canonical just got done releasing the next major update to the desktop flavor of the OS (Ubuntu 9.04), but obviously stopping there would just be too easy. Ubuntu One, in essence, is

We’re not quite sure what to read into this, but Super Talent has quietly issued a firmware update that sounds an awful lot like the update Intel issued around this time last month. Surely you remember that, right? Essentially, Intel’s otherwise fantastic X-25M and X-18M solid state drives were shown to degrade with time under very specific circumstances, though a fix issued by the company supposedly took care of that possibility.Today, Super Talent — a notable SSD manufacturer — has announced that its line

NZXT is aiming to extinguish the heat arising from computers with the Panzerbox aluminum mid tower PC case. Boasting over 300 CFM with two 190mm fans and a 120mm fan, along with an option to install a dual 120mm radiator, it looks like it just may do the job. Plus, it's lightweight! Read on to see if it deserves a spot on your desk.
