| Remotely interesting, written by mrplow on 2006-02-23. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Running PCs in ones living room, or lounge as some of you may prefer to call it, has become rather more fashionable of late... well, fashionable amongst "our kind" anyway. It certainly has benefits. For one you can stop writing all those dodgy rips of japanese cartoon erotica you download from the internet to DVD so that you can watch them on your TV with the curtains closed - with a PC under the telly you can just watch them straight off disk (I'd still recommend closing the curtains). You can of course watch proper DVDs on it too, and listen to your music similarily either off shop-bought CDs or straight from the wholly legitimate mp3s you bought off allofmp3.com. |
| Coolergiant CS-718, written by mrplow on 2005-06-28. Genre: cases. |
 |
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" alias, marks (in my eyes) the first real entry into the high end case market. The looks take a lot of ideas from other cases, but the mix is fairly unique... |
| LICS Master Freezer 1, written by mrplow on 2005-05-09. Genre: cooling. |
 |
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. |
| Coolergiant EG485AX-VHB, written by mrplow on 2005-02-26. Genre: cases. |
 |
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. |
| 20x4 Character LCD, written by mrplow on 2004-12-15. Genre: modding. |
 |
A few years ago people had beige, purely functional computers... hidden under desks, stained with the office smoker's exhalation. Then some strange individuals decided to "pimp up" their computers in the vain of car modding enthusiasts and suddenly case modding was born. We had neon lights, LEDs (usually "bl00") and stealthed CD drives... aluminium cases, cathodes and rainbow fans... and of course, a favourite of the early days, LCD display panels. |
| Steel Gaming Glove, written by donkey on 2004-08-02. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
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. |
| Super Flower SF450-TS, written by mrplow on 2004-07-08. Genre: cases. |
 |
Most computers still use the good old staple diet of 80mm fans. Some more modern efforts (as well as quality older models) have ousted these runts of the fan world in favour of their beefier 120mm brothers. But this is the first time I have seen a 140mm fan in a computer, and I think it's clear that the future is big. Big fans spin slower whilst pushing the same (or more) air, and can push this air while producing less noise than a smaller fan. This is certainly a good thing, and means Super Flower can market this as a super quiet supply - something which is becoming increasingly important to computer users and hardware buyers. |
| Coolermaster ATCS-220C-PX1, written by mrplow on 2004-05-30. Genre: cases. |
 |
The ATCS-220C-PX1 is based around the same basic chassis design of many other Coolermaster cases - the 100 and 200 series all share the same basic internal design. This is definately not a bad thing as the internal design of these cases is superb. |
| Steelpad 4D, written by mrplow on 2004-05-21. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
The Steelpad 4S is still the flagship product, and a sexy beast it is. There's nothing quite like a cool slab of aluminium to get a geek hot under the collar (that and the latest issue of "Nuts" magazine, how I hate people who read that...) and the performance of the pad certainly kept up with its lush appearance. So what's this, the Steelpad 4D, offer differently and, most importantly, is it even better? Well my good friends, let us take a gander and see if we can't just work that out. |
| Black Icemat 2nd Edition, written by Gecko on 2004-04-25. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Dimension wise the mat is huge. 10 by 12 inches, yes that's a whole 120 square inches of gaming surface to cruise your mouse around. Consider that the mouse mat is made entirely of glass - or more accurately frosted 4mm thick blackened glass - and you've got a lot of weight. Weighing in at almost 700grams it going to be a lot heavier than your standard mouse mat. |
| Super Flower SF-561T2, written by mrplow on 2004-04-05. Genre: cases. |
 |
As you can see from the previous pictures this is quite a large case - boasting five 5.25\" drive bays and three 3.5\" bays makes it larger than most standard mid-towers (which tend to have only four or even three of the larger bays). It is positively cavernous inside, partly thanks to it's physical size but also a great deal to do with some clever design. The internal design is very reminiscent of a lian li case, even down to the removable hard disk rack at the lower front of the case. Looking at it alongside my PC60 it's clear that there was some inspiration there - this is definately no bad thing, since the lian li cases follow an excellent design. |
| Alphacool NexXxoS HP Pro, written by mrplow on 2004-04-02. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Until quite recently the NexXxoS HP Pro (HP Pro from now on) was top of the rankings at watercoolplanet but has since been topped (by a tiny margin) by a different block. We can still assume that this should be one the top performing designs of block around at the moment, let's see if it lives up to it's hype and potential. |
| Raidmax Scorpio 868, written by Gecko on 2004-03-26. Genre: cases. |
 |
This is certainly a case for reactions. Some love it, some hate it. I’m with the first party. I think it looks good, if not amazing. That’s why I bought it (besides the fact it is only £70 with a nice 420watt PSU which is not reviewed here, because I have a silent PSU anyway). My friends seem to like it, but then again, between them they own a black Dell, a beige Mesh and a PIII 450 Compaq. |
| Akasa AK670cu, written by mrplow on 2004-03-22. Genre: cooling. |
 |
I'd like to see something extra from any cooler I replace the stock cooler with, otherwise I don't see how it has any value. However cooling ability isn't the only driving factor today - with more computer cases on sale now having windows than not, you've got to brush up the appearance of your computer's interior. Most heatsink manufacturers have picked up on this new computer vanity and acted appropriately... |
| Coolermaster ATCS-710-GX1, written by mrplow on 2004-03-10. Genre: cases. |
 |
It might be hard to believe for some of you but back in the day we used coffee and/or cigarette smoke stained beige desktop cases with 14\" monitors perched on top, and clunky keyboards alongside mice with 2 buttons and no wheel. We knew no better, that to us was computing. Nowadays everyone seems to have a silver case with perspex windows wherever there's space, neon lights, illuminated fans and a sound sensitive strobe light. But let's take a step back to the earlier days of this new breed of computer enclosures at one of the early models from Coolermaster, the ATCS 710 enclosure. This is the first of three coolermaster case reviews, so watch this space. |
| Steelpad 4S mousing surface, written by mrplow on 2004-02-24. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Hmmm, how to start, how to start... how does one review a mouse pad, or \"mousing surface\" as these higher cost products often like to be called? The performance of such a product isn't really quantifiable like a graphics card or a power supply - there is no MousePadMark2003 (which would presumably test in favour of Everglide and against Ratpadz in some scandalous driver issue), and no hardware monitoring sensors. But I can tell you how I feel about the Steelpad 4S and how, in my opinion, it improves upon your everyday standard foam/fabric mousemat and some other \"high performance\" pads. So, let's do that. |
| Gigabyte GA-7VA (revision 2), written by Gecko on 2004-02-15. Genre: motherboards. |
 |
From experience, I am confident about buying Gigabyte motherboards. My board of the last year and a half was a Gigabyte, it was an exceptional performer, but it didn’t overclock. Back then, though, I wasn’t interested in such things and since it only cost £35 I was very happy with it. So the logical choice for this years board was Gigabyte. |
| Icemat mousing surface, written by GillianChung on 2004-02-03. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
With many computers far from being obsolete with the current technology, one might be out of ideas on what to upgrade when they already have the fastest rig in their neighbourhood. Well, look at your mousepad, and think of how long you've been using it. If it looks worn, I think you'll need to replace it. When you think of mouse pads, the first brands on your mind maybe the Ratpad or the Everglide, but have you heard of the Icemat? This is a totally different mouse pad that combines both style and performance. On top of that, it is a mouse pad that can last basically forever- if you can take care of it. |
| H2O Computer Cool Sprinter 2.0, written by mrplow on 2003-12-20. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Watercooling. What does that make you think of? Cars? Heavy machinery? For most people, it certainly doesn't prompt thoughts of desktop computers. But with the chip giants churning out faster and faster chips with little regard for keeping power consumption (and thus heat production) down, watercooling is becoming a more viable and more widespread solution for more and more novice users. |
| Heatsink Lapping Kit, written by mrplow on 2003-12-07. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Lapping a surface is done through several stages of wearing down the surface, to remove all the sticky-outy bits that are damaging your heatsinks chances of performing to its upmost ability. Theoretically the surface isn't perfectly smooth until we get down to ridiculous atomic levels, but for all intents and purposes some very fine grade sandpaper will give a pretty darn smooth surface. |
| Super Flower 350W, written by mrplow on 2003-11-23. Genre: cases. |
 |
A nice enough looking unit, very reminiscent of my Enermax (complete with gold fan grills and cable braiding). The first thing that struck me (after the visual similarities with my Enermax unit) was the abundance of cables. This was a very pleasant surprise (but also something I was praying for) after using endless supplies with nowhere near enough connectors. Most [cheap] manufacturers seem to think 4 molexes is enough. |
| NewLink Micro KVM, written by mrplow on 2003-11-16. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
The method for connecting is extremely simple. Two sets of KVM plugs are moulded directly into the main unit, on which there are sockets for a single keyboard, monitor and mouse. The two sets are different lengths, one 60cm and the other 180cm. The rear of the packaging labels them as "Local PC" and "Remote PC". The names make the intentions obvious - the ability to control a computer away from the main workspace. |
| Coolermaster Aero7+, written by fuzzy on 2003-08-24. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Today I will be reviewing the CoolerMaster Aero7+ CPU Cooler for the AMD Athlon and Pentium III platform. If you have noticed, the Aero series have a different type of fan on the heatsink. It is a called an "Aero Blower", the strange look from traditional fans have also gave it advantages over traditional fans. Comparing the specifications of a typical YS-Tech 80mm fan... |
| Akasa / Coolermaster / Nexfan rounded IDE cables, written by various on 2003-08-17. Genre: mods. |
 |
I was sent a set of Akasa UV-reactive rounded IDE cables.. GillianChung was sent a set of Coolermaster rounded cables by the lovely people at Case-mod.com.. rayz00 bought a set of cables from nexfan. Since they are essentially the same product I bundled our 3 accounts together for this makeshift threes-up. |
| V-Gear Webcam, written by fuzzy on 2003-08-16. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Most Webcams today do provide a fair quality picture at low price, many are under 50 quid. The newer Logitech QuickCam 4000 feature a digital zoom and a maxium resolution of 1.3Megapixel. However it would have cost me 700HKD (60 quid) which is well beyond my budget. Most webcams will be able to produce a VGA sized (640x480) picture, so the more you pay the better pictures the cam will produce. Then there was this niffty box that caught my eye, the V-Gear WebCam and after a sample shot I was impressed enough to take it home with me. |
| Thermaltake Volcano 11+ Xaser Edition, written by mrplow on 2003-08-08. Genre: cooling. |
 |
As I mentioned earlier the v11+ is a big boy. The base measures 70x66 mm according to the specs on the back of the box. There were no issues installing it on my AK77-400MAX motherboard, and I don't see why there would be issues on any other boards. The base isn't very much bigger than the socket itself, and the size doesn't expand to 80mm until quite a distance from the board. |
| Akasa AK824cu, written by mrplow on 2003-08-07. Genre: cooling. |
 |
At the base of the sink is a solid block of copper, that celebrated heat conductor. I like the idea of copper bases and aluminium fins... it seems to make sense in theory - a great conductor at the base to sap the heat off of the cpu die, and then an efficient radiator made from a great dissipating material. |
| LIUtilities Winbackup, written by mrplow on 2003-07-01. Genre: software. |
 |
The patch to version 1.81 seems to have addressed all the problems I came accross. Whilst writing this addendum I constantly wondered what I was going to have to write at the end, how I was going to change the mood from "this program rocks!" to "this is a buggy pile of crap". Luckily now I don't have to. |
| Z-Board Interchangeable Keyboard System, written by rayz00 on 2003-06-24. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
The keyboard is very innovative. One major problem is people adjusting to the different layout. It took me a little bit, but I did adjust and it was so much easier. There are also pictures of the items, ie: rifle, grenades, rocket. Pictures make the gaming experience easier, and it is quicker to find, unless you spend hours and hours gaming and know where every button is. |
| Spire cooler roundup, written by mrplow on 2003-06-23. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Allowing for the slight differences in test conditions (I'm not a very patient person, I try to get the figures over and done with) the results here favour the WhisperRock II with the lowest maximum temp (full load). It's a great cooler and a very overlooked one as far as I'm aware. Spire are often thought of as the poor man's cooler, but the WhisperRock II really can perform. |
| Akasa Silver Mountain 2(Q), written by mrplow on 2003-06-03. Genre: cooling. |
 |
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). |
| Nanotherm compounds, written by GillianChung on 2003-04-05. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Well, first of all, I used my Arctic Silver 3 temperatures from my last thermal paste shootout to compare with the Nanotherm temperatures. I was very excited when I received Nanotherm's new products in November but realized that by testing all four compounds means it will take some time. Coupled with the site improvement delays, this review took quite some time to accomplish. |
| Everglide Attack Pad Optical Smoke, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
My first impression of the mouse pad was "wow."
It looked really good, but it was not as big as I thought it would be, but that can be a good thing if you have little space. I looked around the mouse a bit, its very hard, sturdy; there were also rubber feet on the bottom, six to be exact. That is to prevent it from moving during heavy gaming. |
| Everglide Giganta Optical Smoke, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Ok, this is essentially like its smaller brother, the optical smoke attack mouse pad, but with three major differences, one, its much larger, two, its transparent instead of opaque, and three, there are five rubber feet instead of six. With closer inspection, the top did not feel as rough as its smaller sibling, it was smoother. My first impression was different also, mine was "it's BIG." Even with these differences, will it perform better, worse, or the same? |
| Everglide Mouse Bungee, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
What the mouse bungee should do is to guide the cord so it does not interfere with your gaming. It is suppose to leave enough slack so that the mouse does not go off on its own, yet be tight enough so that the cord will not interfere. Lets put this theory to test. |
| GamerzStuff Mouse Skatez, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Surprisingly, I had enough to cover the entire curve. So for you out there who have small mouse feet, this would cover more then two mice. They give you two strips, but one strip is more then enough for the normal feet. |
| PC Tote, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
The pc-tote is meant to hold a computer like a suitcase, making it so that you do not have to use both hands, it this is meant for a person who LANs a lot or just moves their computer a good amount of times. At first, it just looks like the strap to my book bag. There was a section of rubber that is meant for the person to hold onto. It seemed very well made. |
| Everglide Wrist Rest, written by rayz00 on 2003-04-05. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
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. |
| Thermal Pastes, written by GillianChung on 2002-07-13. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Arctic Silver has always been a forefront in thermal paste, providing great cooling solutions for the computer and graphic chips. They are famous for their Silver line of products, which actually consists of real silver in their pastes. Their two definite front runners will be used in this comparison, namely the famous Arctic Silver 3 and Arctic Alumina. |
| Akasa Paxmate, written by GillianChung on 2002-06-03. Genre: modding. |
 |
Everyone nowadays is so worried about cooling that they forget to worry about the noises that come out of their computers. Didn’t you wish someone would find a solution to the high-pitched fan that is always disturbing your sleep? Well, Akasa has introduced their pax.mate acoustic absorption mat to solve all your noise problems. Or has it? |
| Via C3 Processor 866MHz, written by mrplow on 2002-06-01. Genre: processors. |
 |
In 1999 VIA 'acquired' the Cyrix company, who had previously made budget CPUs. Cyrix, before their buyout, produced the M2 chip which was post-buyout marketed as the VIA Cyrix MII - another fairly average CPU with quite a small take-up by consumers. The VIA C3 is the next installment in this product line, the Cyrix 3. |
| Thermaltake Dragon 478, written by Chunky on 2002-05-14. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Thermaltake is widely recognised as a company known for excellent cooling solutions. They provide superior finished, performance enhancing goods which are good value for money. As we enter the world of the hardcore hobbyist (you know, the ones who don't mind compromising with a little extra cost for an increase in performance) TT provides an excellent alternative to Intel's Stock P4 Fan. |
| Dynatron DF128025BA Fan, written by GillianChung on 2002-05-10. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Dynatron Corporation is a company that started about a decade ago in Taiwan specializing in computer cooling solutions. They are famous for their innovative "Microfin Technology" and have been known as a manufacturer of high quality coolers. Since many enthusiasts out there are interested in cooling their cases, especially for their over clocked computers, I decided to review Dynatron’s DF128025BA 80mmx80mmx25.4mm for 2u system fan. |
| Sound activated Cold Cathode, written by GillianChung on 2002-05-08. Genre: modding. |
 |
First came the neon lights. Now the cold cathodes. Its incredible popularity has swept through almost every single computer modding store in America and around the world. So we are in a time where cold cathodes are no longer the talk of the town, but are rather just another cold cathode. However, this was until Xoxide.com sent me this cold cathode, unlike any we'd seen here at techangel.co.uk. |
| Vantec EZ-Swap, written by GillianChung on 2002-05-02. Genre: cooling. |
 |
The special feature on this removable drive rack is definitely the LCD. This LCD provides pertinent information including whether the drive is a slave or a master, the actual temperature of the drive, the hard drive access indicator, and the fan status. Vantec even had the option to change from a Celsius display to Fahrenheit. Their great attention to detail and to include a lock for their rack proves that Vantec has made a spectacular product. |
| ThermalTake Active RAM Cooler, written by mrplow on 2002-04-30. Genre: cooling. |
 |
Thermaltake has been coming up with unique products recently that not only perform their tasks, but are great looking as well. Today, I am going to review two of Thermaltake's products hands-on. The first is the controversial Active Memory Cooling Kit, and the other, their renowned Crystal Orb. The Thermaltake Active Memory Cooling Kit seems to be the most controversial item that Thermaltake has in their product line. |
| Badge Lite Kit, written by mrplow on 2002-04-23. Genre: modding. |
 |
Right, so what do we have here? The Badge Lite kit (made by GamerzStuff.com according to the enclosed literature) is a simple idea - a diffused LED to fit behind a case badge, offering it lumination. It's simple design means it can be used with any translucent case badge, and its very easy to install. Lets have a look at the kit... |
| Thermaltake Volcano7+, written by mrplow on 2002-04-22. Genre: cooling. |
 |
The Volcano7+ is clever. It can be used on pretty much any cpu - a socket370 or socket A (for intel socketted celerons and pIIIs, and for AMD athlons and durons) or socket478 (intel p4s) - due to the inclusion of mounting clips for the different kinds. The volcano7+ arrives semi-built, all you have to do is choose your mounting clips, and do up a few screws. There are decent instructions included, or you can surf on over to ThermalTake's website where you will find them reproduced. |
| Thermaltake P4 Tiny Fin 478, written by mrplow on 2002-03-04. Genre: cooling. |
 |
The heatsink, and the mounting kit. The box states "retention module unnecessary"... I guess that means the big clips you get on p4s. In case you're wondering why it looks so thin, it's designed for rackmount environments. The clip is sturdy, and insulated on its top-side. 5 screws are provided (1 spare). |
| Lian Li PC60-USB, written by mrplow on 2002-02-27. Genre: cases. |
 |
I think it's obvious from what I've said so far that I love this case. It is truly sublime, everything about it is near perfect. From the sleek styling of the outside to the excellent features inside such as the removable drive caddies and motherboard tray, the functionality of the inside matches the looks of the outside. |
| Trace Tape Athlon Unlocking, written by mrplow on 2001-11-01. Genre: processors. |
 |
Well, you'd never have guessed it, but afaik this is a UK exclusive baby. Exciting huh? Yeah... well... it is to me. Anyway, I hear you cry, what the hell IS "trace tape". Well, we all know (don't we?) that to overclock an AMD processor you need to unlock it, be it with a pencil (dodgy) or conductive pen (pricey). There is also this much easier method, and I would predict more reliable. Step forward Trace Tape. |
| Everglide Attack Pad, written by Carlos_Fandango on 2001-10-24. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
Although lumpy to the touch the mat is a very smooth mouse surface, and it should also reduce crud build up. The mat is pure black and is a funny shape, see the pics (i left my mouse on there as a size comparisson, maybe i'll review my mouse...), the main downfall though was the fact that the mat rocks slightly on it's rubber feet, this could be due to a uneven desk, but more likely to be uneven feet. This is barely noticeable though and won't stop me from using it. |
| Soundworks DTT3500 Digital 5.1, written by Carlos_Fandango on 2001-10-24. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
The DTT3500 Digital 5.1 surround sound system from cambridge playworks/soundworks (creatives speaker department) cost around £200
Where to start...well it comes in a fat box, big enough for a 17" monitor, everything comes neatly packed with lots of expanded polystyrene to keep everything nice and safe. |
| Thermaltake Crystal Orb, written by mrplow on 2001-10-16. Genre: cooling. |
 |
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. |
| Trillian IM Client, written by mrplow on 2001-09-17. Genre: software. |
 |
I have so few complaints about this program, only that some settings and features aren't as obvious as they could be, and the removal of file transfer by ICQ etc is a bit annoying. Therefore, I will award the program 4 out of 5, although that last star could very easily be Trillian's in future releases. |
| Diamond SupraExpress 56e Pro, written by mrplow on 2001-09-04. Genre: peripherals. |
 |
1st up is price. Well, to be honest, you're gonna be hard pushed to FIND one of these modems. I think they have been phased out and replaced with inferior USB models. However, I might be wrong, and if you can find one expect to pay about £50 or £60. Yes, that's a lot huh. But if you enjoy playing CounterStrike, I expect your ping on 56k is about 180ish. My ping with this modem is 120, and has been 100. |
| Akasa Silver Mountain, written by mrplow on 2001-09-01. Genre: cooling. |
 |
The bottom is nicely "lapped" - i.e. shiny as can be, which apparently is better for contact between core and heatsink. The fins themselves look pretty cool (har har...) and there's plenty of em. There's a shroud over the top too, where the fan screws on (more on that later...) which apparently helps airflow. |
