Thursday, September 11th, 2008

Ten minutes with my new iPhone 3G and it was obvious I needed a case that completely covered the unit, otherwise it would be trashed within the week.

After using this chassis for over a year I finally posted my review.  It’s a reworking of the Atlas Titan, but newer isn’t always better.

Review: Thermalright HR-05-SLI chipset heatsink

Monday, December 17th, 2007

Picked up the Thermalright HR-05-SLI last week online: it was on sale for $20 CDN, and I’d been wanting it anyway.  If you want a new chipset heatsink that gets out of the way check this out.

Review: Titan Quest Immortal Throne

Friday, April 20th, 2007

Finished Immortal Throne a while ago but finally found the time to put up a quick review.  Here’s a taste:

As I said I finished Epic mode in Titan Quest and was anxious to play Immortal Throne. After installation I imported my existing player and started in Normal mode. I saw immediately my character was far too powerful so I quit, deleted my import and re-imported my character. This time I started in Epic mode and had no trouble. This in itself was a great experience for an expansion pack: the developers actually looked at where players would be in the game!

Review: WD Passport Portable Drive

Friday, December 22nd, 2006

Just picked this drive up and posted a review.  Here’s a taste:

I was concerned about the model of the actual hard drive contained, but a look in Device Manager showed the WD1200VE, a 5400 RPM 8 MB cache Scorpio 2.5″ EIDE. Drive speed is good; I could benchmark it, but why bother? It’s USB 2.0 speeds.
