Delta 80mm 68CFM Fan Review

Philipp

Administrator

I am Not a Geek dot com has posted a review on the Delta 80mm 68CFM Fan This is a 68CFM fan, the fastest 60mm fans available are about 38CFM. Even the MC462 only has a 57CFM fan, so you could use this to upgrade your MC462 as well.

Samsung 12x DVD-ROM Review

Philipp

Administrator

PCinsight has posted a short review on a 12x DVD-ROM drive from Samsung. While the Samsung SD-612 lives up to its maximum speed claims, one still needs to realize that 12x DVD reads are not terribly important by today´s standards as the majority of software applications are still being distributed on CD-ROM.
