Desperate times call for desperate measures. You may have heard this saying spoken throughout history and while those who have uttered these words may have been referring to periods of great struggle I am sure seeing the current state of video cards this quote applies here. As GPU's continue to hung...

Coollaboratory Liquid Pro Review
|
Overall the Liquid Pro from Coollaboratory did not gave me the results I desired and expected to see. Not only was installation tricky, it also took me quite some time to remove the stuff from both my processor and my cooler.

|
Cosmos, the word conjures thoughts of distant galaxies, black holes, super novas and billions and billion of stars and planets all accompanied by the comforting drone of Carl Sagan's monotone voice.

Ultra Grid ATX Case Review
|
This case is like a lot of other Mid-Towers on the market today, and does not offer a lot of room for oversized cards such as the 8800GTX, and when using a card like the 8800GTX your going to end up blocking a couple slots for hard drives, which isn't a problem for most 1-2 hard drive configurations...

I had high hopes for the Propeller, considering how much I liked XClio's 188A chassis, but it wasn't to be. When considering a budget case, there are some shortcomings one can ignore.
