Akasa Silver Mountain 2(Q), written by mrplow on 2003-06-03. Genre: cooling.
Akasa Silver Mountain 2(Q) I will be testing the Silver Mountain 2 in my current rig, an Athlon 1.33Ghz chip running at stock speed and voltage. I'm not an overclocker - there's really not much point for the things I use my PC for. Rather than providing some peculiar rating for the heatsink, that means pretty much nothing, I will show how it performs on my processor (a fairly average speed, thus a fairly good real world test) and how it compares against a number of other coolers (which will increase as I review more).

Everglide Wrist Rest, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals.
Everglide Wrist Rest The top does not look like it will wear out anytime soon. The material looks to be like Neoprene. That's the kind of material that they use in kneepads. Like I said, it just feels and looks that way, I am unsure of what it is actually made of. It is difficult to make it move during use thanks to its bottom surface. It has a shiny finish, but who would ever see the bottom during usage.

Hard disk window mod, written by Renko on 2002-04-18. Genre: modding.
Hard disk window mod So you’re thinking about modding your hard disk? Either that or you just want to look at the nice pictures in this article. :) Well your probably wondering either way, what’s so special about this particular hd as numerous others out there have been putting windows on their hds. This one is topped with glass and instead of the usual hard work in involved in cutting a window in the lid, the whole lid is now glass.

Back in the old days a case was just a box you plonked the computer in. Now it's an integral part of your cooling system as well, and this one is trying something a bit new. Luckily, and importantly, it also looks rather natty. 
Enermax are no stranger to the scene. They've been producing top flight power supplies for yonks and have tried there hand at case design on a few occasions too. This, the CS-718 released under the company's

The evolution of waterblock design has been to eek as much cooling performance from systems as possible without introducing brute force methods like bigger radiators or faster, louder, cooling fans. A while back I took a look at the Alphacool NexXxoS Pro HP block which, back then, was a bit of an arse kicker. Here we'll have a look at a new block with a big ambition: to beat the HP and its peers.

So what do we have here? Well, we have a well built, very attractive, solid hard working power supply. But it does come with a price tag to match. As mentioned earlier it's not as expensive as high-end power supplies used to be (although Enermax do produce a ~£100 unit, so I suppose this is their mid-range effort) but compared to other brands it is still an expensive choice. HiPer, Super Flower, Tagan and Antec all make similarly specced units at lower prices, but whether they are as polished (quality-wise, as well as the literal meaning) as this Enermax unit is something I cannot comment on.
