Thermaltake Crystal Orb, written by mrplow on 2001-10-16. Genre: cooling.
Thermaltake Crystal Orb The orb comes with a great bag of goodies (image 3,4)- a 3pin to 4pin power adapter in case you have no free headers, some heat transfer compound (not arctic silver, but it does the job), some frag tape and pushpins. Oooh, and a little bag too! ;D. Good show from thermaltake for providing all this stuff with the orb.

Steel Gaming Glove, written by donkey on 2004-08-02. Genre: peripherals.
Steel Gaming Glove When I first heard about this, I have to admit, I was more than sceptical. The idea of wearing a glove while gaming just seemed a little odd …and perhaps pointless?! Apparently, or as the packet states anyway, the \"steel gaming glove is the choice of pro gamers, who knows that shaving off those last 5% of friction, is exactly what counts!\" It claims to maximise your grip on the mouse, make your hand frictionless and support your wrist. In this review I’m going to look at how successful the gaming glove is at doing all these as well as how comfortable and worthwhile it is.

GeForce shoot-out - old vs. new, written by various on 2001-09-19. Genre: performance.
GeForce shoot-out - old vs. new GeForce 3... sounds nice dunnit... wow, THREE. That must be better than my geforce 2, cos that's only a TWO, and this is THREE... oooh... Yeah yeah, whatever, stop drooling. Sure it's better, but at £300 to a geforce 2 GTS's £100, its gotta be, ooh, look at that... 3 times better. Hmm... well, is it? Let's see! :D

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
Coolergiant CS-718
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.
