The staff here at 3DXtreme would like to wish everyone a safe and happy holidays. For those of you in the Buffalo NY area, enjoy all the snow but drive carefully. Here is hoping that Santa brings you all that you wish for (like that AthlonFX-55 dream system....).

Merry Christmas all.

Posted By: Dean Nottis
On: Wednesday, December 15, 2004

Our good friend Lee from Directron.com sends word that tonight ~7PM CST they will make available a limited stock of the new Asus A8N-SLI Deluxe Motherboard. They have 15 in stock and are selling for $249.

"Representing motherboard engineering at its best, the performance of A8N-SLI Deluxe is not for the faint of heart. The NVIDIA SLI (Scalable Link Interface) technology enables two PCI-Express cards on this motherboard to provide extreme performance over the edge. Enjoy the latest games with most visual effects; go ahead with the most graphics demanding multimedia utilities. Don't worry, this mobo is good enough for you, the question is, are you game enough for A8N-SLI?"

New 3DXtreme Review!
Posted By: Dean Nottis
On: Thursday, December 9, 2004

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - OCZ PowerStream 520W Power Supply

Here's a clip:

"The OCZ 520 Watt PSU is a rock. Once we got the chance to experience the power of the PowerStream Power Supply first hand it’s no wonder why this is the hottest PSU on the market. With our Ultra X-Connect and PowerStream 470 Watt Power Supplies the best overclock we could muster with our 3500+ was 2.4 GHz while running the memory 1:1. With this PSU we managed to push higher to a maximum overclock of 278 x 9 for a max CPU clock of 2.502 GHz. The OCZ 520 Power Supply is THE Power Supply to have. Whether you are looking to overclock or just want a stable source of power, the OCZ 520 Watt PSU will fit the bill."

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Aerocool AeroPower Silver Line 550W Power Supply

Here's a clip:

"While this Power Supply retails for ~$75, for a 550W unit this is actually a very good price. The combination of sleeved cabling and quiet operation also makes this Power Supply a nice addition to any system. Aerocool has again provided a decent Power Supply and it won’t clean out your wallet in the process. I would recommend this Power Supply for just about any use."

On: Monday, December 6, 2004

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - LTB USB True 5.1 Surround Sound Headphones

Here's a clip:

"While this headset may not be the cheapest on the market, if you are a serious gamer price may not be a huge consideration. For positional awareness in gaming the LTB USB-M headset just flat out rocks. I play alot of Call of Duty United Offensive online and I was able to tell exactly where the other players were coming from. The 5.1 channel surround is just incredible."

HL2 Deathmatch
Posted By: Dean Nottis
On: Wednesday, December 1, 2004

Hey Everyone,
I felt this was important enough to post on its own. Steam has an update that adds Half Life 2 Multiplayer Deathmatch. The lack of true HL2 MP is something most of us have been disappointed with since the realization that Counter Strike Source was going to be the multi-player component of HL2.

A Half-Life 2 update has been released via Steam. Please restart Steam to apply the update.

Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
New multiplayer game featuring physics simulation system

Half-Life 2/Source SDK
Includes game code needed to create Half-Life 2/Source MODs
Ability to edit Half-Life 2 maps
Maya model exporter
3d Studio Max model exporter source code
Sample MOD with vehicles

Source Updates
HTTP and non-HTTP map auto downloading functionality
Enhanced dedicated server logging capabilities
Various tweaks and fixes

*Also: A Half-Life 2: Deathmatch Map Making Contest has been announced. The winning entry will receive a cash prize of $5,000. Two runner up entries will receive a cash prize of $3,000.

For more information click here or fire up Steam and grab the update now.
