   <title>NZXT's new Phantom case just walked away with a Gold Award</title>
   <description><![CDATA[NZXT has designed something a little more luxurious than their usual, the Phantom.  Whereas cases like the Hush are priced well under $100 this case should retail just above but with some very good reasons.  For instance the included air cooling consists of 
an blue LED 200mm fan on the top as well as a rear mounted 120mm fan and there is room for...]]></description>

   <title>Another peek at Intel's coming year</title>
   <description><![CDATA[As is usual, Intel declined to comment on the information that DigiTimes has uncovered about the plans Intel has for 2011 but don't let that shake your confidence that DigiTimes is probably right on the money.  The upcoming Waimea Bay platform will consist of a Sandy Bridge E-based processor in conjunction with the Patsburg chipset and will handle ...]]></description>

   <title>A different kind of DisplayPort adaptor</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Usually when we discuss DisplayPort adaptors on PC Perspective it is to talk about active DisplayPort to DVI adaptors used to bring a half dozen screens to a Crossfire setup.  There is another use for this connection type however, as evidenced by the Accell UltraAV DisplayPort to DVI Multi-Monitor Adapter that ThinkComputers just reviewed.

   <title>NVIDIA shows off Optimus driver updates</title>
   <description><![CDATA[NVIDIA Optimus technology is a feature that allows discrete NVIDIA GPUs to interact with integrated graphics, either on a chipset or on a CPU package like Arrandale, in such a way that allows the performance of the discrete option to be available only when it is necessary and idle otherwise.  This ability allows notebook vendors to include a discre...]]></description>

   <title>For those who still need the space, a 600GB Velociraptor</title>
   <description><![CDATA[SSDs are great, they offer speeds that were previously only seen from system RAM for long term storage but their one weakness is price.  While that price doesn't sting quite so much when you are looking to purchase a 60GB SSD for your OS drive, those who need several hundred gigabytes of storage are going to need to dig deep in their pockets if the...]]></description>

   <title>That game that came out yesterday</title>
   <description><![CDATA[It has become usual for the release of a PC game to disappoint anyone who tries to grab it on the first day, as brick and mortar stores can't be bothered to carry enough physical copies and the publishers download service collapses under what should have been an expected demand, but many people are now happily playing.  Many of those are probably f...]]></description>

   <title>Intel's illuminating new transfer technology</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The big news from Intel yesterday was the announcement of photonic signalling to transfer data at an incredible 50Gbs and that is just to start.  Using four non-interfering wavelengths of light in the form of silicon lasers, Intel has found a way to combine the four wavelengths each capable of 12.5Gbs into a single signal which can be passed across...]]></description>

   <title>ASUS provides Optimus and USB 3.0 on the N61Jv</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Yesterday Ryan finished up his review of the ASUS N61Jv Optimus Core i5 16" notebook.  As the name implies this notebook does have Optimus technology allowing you to switch between the GeForce GT 325M GPU and the Intel HD graphics that are a part of the HM55 chipset.  It is a bit on the heavy side at 6lbs, though a part of that weight is the batter...]]></description>

   <title>Two different takes on the 890GX</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Though they are based on the same chipset, the Gigabyte 890GPA-UD3H and ASRock 890GX Extreme3do have differences.  The Gigabyte board is a member of the Power of 3 family, so it sports USB 3, S-ATA 3 and USB Power 3x as well as a pair of PCIe 16x slots.  The ASRock also has threes, advertising USB 3.0, SATA 3 and e-SATA 3

   <description><![CDATA[The Westmere-EP is a 32nm process and it's current representative is the Xeon 5680, a 6 core 3.33GHz CPU though it will hit 3.6GHz via Intel's TurboBoost technology.  If you want a dual CPU PC then the Xeon family is currently the way to go, though you might not choose to use the board that The Tech Report did.  The focus of TR's review was not the...]]></description>

   <title>Apple drops NVIDIA from most default systems, brings on ATI</title>
   <description><![CDATA[Today should have been a good day for NVIDIA - StarCraft II was released and only their cards support anti-aliasing out of the gate AND the new Fermi-based Quadro graphics offer a significant jump in performance over previous generation parts and AMD's FirePro options.  Apple apparently had other plans though and has updated its entire line of iMac...]]></description>

   <title>So you want to power three GTX480's eh?  Corsair's got an amp for that</title>
   <description><![CDATA[As wonderful as the performance of the GTX480 is, the ability to power them has become somewhat of a running gag on online review sites.  A recent review by Lee offers a solution to the power concerns that doesn't involve building your own pebble bed nuclear reactor.  His solution is the Corsair Professional Series Gold AX1200 power supply which no...]]></description>

Well it seems MeeGo is getting a big boost on two fronts today and we may see ...]]></description>

   <title>Going for graphical overkill - Quad Crossfire or Triple SLI</title>
   <description><![CDATA[X-bit Labs took a Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD9 Super-Mainboard and attached two different sets of GPUs for testing, four Radeon HD 5870s in one case and three GTX 480s in the second.  This board sports a pair of Nvidia NF200-SLI chips so there are plenty of PCIe lanes to go around and with the addition of a Xigmatek 1500W PSU to the installed Zalman 1000W ...]]></description>

   <title>Corsair's H50 gets some competition from the CoolIT ECO</title>
   <description><![CDATA[The CoolIT ECO C240 is similar to the other self contained liquid based CPU coolers, what CoolIT has done differently is offer more surface area for cooling and tried to make it the easiest of the bunch to install.  The radiator sports a pair of 120mm fans, so those hoping to mount it within their case had better ensure they have the space, otherwi...]]></description>

Now with dd-wrt you can flash your routers firmware and change it into a powerful security appliance with far more options than the router had previously.
