Soyo P4I875P Dragon2 Canterwood Motherboard Review
Tweaknews.net has taken a look at the Soyo P4I875P Dragon2 Canterwood Motherboard. Here is a snippit:

"Through my testing of this particular motherboard, the system was unreliable, the BIOS couldn't be updated and would reset itself when ever it wanted, the SATA would not work through the southbridge and the overclocking and overall performance was substandard when compared to an equally equipped motherboard from another manufacturer."

Explorer Technology FX5200 @ Techware Labs
Techware Labs has taken a look at Explorer Technology's Nvidia Geforce FX5200 offering. Here is a snippit:

"This market is the realm of the mortal video cards (you know, the ones that don't second as the room's ceiling fan). NVidia's cheaper card in this market is the 5200FX. There is no doubt that this card does not hold up to the other FX cards or even any in the ATI 9XXX series well. However, one must keep in mind that the 5200 is designed with the intent of making a cheap, consumer level card that is capable of DX9 applications."

Radeon 9800 & 9700 put head to head
Having the capability to produce as much as 1.8 million graphic cards per month, Sapphire Technologies happens to be one of ATI’s primary OEM partners.
Today we are examining their Radeon 9800 Atlantis Pro; with a board design that resembles ATI's reference a lot, the Atlantis offers 9800 Pro's outstanding performance packed with a great bundle, high quality parts (good for o/cing) & Sapphire's warranty to back it up, at an acceptable price point.

Vantec NXP-205 Fan Controller Review
Nexus Fan Controller connects up to 4 fans and allows you manually adjust the fan speed and noise level. The fan speed is determined by the variable speed potentiometer settings which vary the voltage of the fan from 7V-12V. Each channel will support 15-18W. Blue LED lights combine perfectly with the Black or Silver housing. Nexus Fan Controller is great for Large CFM fans and fits perfectly in your standard 5'25" drive bay.
