Hey Everyone,
On Sunday May 15th at 7:35pm I became a father again. David Dean Nottis was born weighing in at 6lbs. 10oz. and measuring 19 3/4 in. long. I've been busy learning the ropes with a boy and getting used to having a 22 month old in one arm and this little feather in the other.

New 3DXtreme Review!

On: Wednesday, May 18, 2005
Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Giga-Byte G-Power GH-PDU21-MF Cooler.
Here's a clip:
When we think of Giga-byte we tend to think of motherboards and video cards. Today 3DXtreme has the pleasure of reviewing a cooling product by Giga-byte, the G-Power cpu cooler. We have reviewed a cooler by Giga-byte in the paste, the 3D Cooler-Ultra GH-PCU31-VH. This time around they take the heatpipe theme and apply it in a different fashion. What they come up with is this cooler we are looking at today. Let’s see how well it performs…

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Saitek Eclipse PC Keyboard.
Here's a clip:
"Today 3DXtreme is proud to present our latest review, we are taking a look at the newest product from our friends over at Saitek. The Saitek Gaming Keyboard was a huge hit with the gaming community, the only flaw that product had was while it was backlit, it was still impossible to see the actual keys. Saitek went back to the drawing board to right this wrong thus the evolution of the Gaming Keyboard to the new Saitek Eclipse."

Hey Everyone,

Here's a clip:
"This is now the 3rd 550W Aerocool power supply we have had the pleasure of reviewing at 3DXtreme and it seems like they are getting better and better. It’s refreshing to see a company put out products and with each new product put out a better and better products. We were impressed the last time around with their improvements over the original Aeropower PSU and now they have moved into the area of modular PSU. Can they continue to improve on their products with the Turbine? Let’s find out just how well it did…"

Hey Everyone,
We've posted a new review on 3DXtreme.net - Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 5 Revision 2.
Here's a clip:
"Recently I switched from an ATI X800XT PE Video Card to a Connect 3D X850XT PE PCI Express Video Card. I was impressed with the performance of the X850XT PE however the temperatures and the noise generated by this Video Card really left me disappointed with ATI’s latest flagship Video Card. My X800XT PE was just about as fast, silent and the load temperature of the Video Card never broke 60 degrees Celcius. From the moment I powered up my system with this red PCI-e beast installed I knew things were going to be different. At this point I could not go back to an AGP setup, isn’t PCI Express the future? So I began to look for an alternate cooling method. While surfing late one night I stumbled across the Arctic Cooling ATI Silencer 5 Revision 2 GPU Cooler and while half asleep I placed my order. "
