Custom Alienware Case Mod

This is a Window/Lighting mod done to a stock Alienware Case. This was a plain jane case we cut a new custom design window in this box and trimmed it with u-channel. A fresh piece a of custom cut acrylic and some Scotch 4010.. We also cut 2 80mm fan holes and plugged them with some brand new Blue Logisys Led fans from Ebay and stainless grills.. What a difference... More coming soon .....



More Reviews and Tutorials Coming Soon...

Getting site in order and more reviews and tutorials are to continue as early as Monday 03/08/2010

Review - ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler








We received in Yesturday the ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 from MP3SUPERSTORE

Lets start off with the packaging. This thing comes in the most custom off the wall designed case i have ever seen, but i like it, Very innovative and holds everything tight. It has a custom wing type designs allowing you to separa
te the front half from the back half.. This making it extremely easy to open and no need to go get out the razor blade... So packaging gets a 5 out of 5 from us

Unboxing this item lik
e i said before was extremely easy and user friendly. Inside the box you have of course the CPU COOLER as well as the instruction guide, mounting brackets and hardware for Intel/Amd processor. What i did like about this is they had them in to separate bags one labeled INTEL and one labeled AMD. this made it so much easier then digging through a single bag of hardware to find the right hardware for your board.

Ok Now its time for installation. I have installed this cooler on my Intel Quad Core Q8200 in a Socket 775 and it is pretty straight forward. The install was cake i had the whole thing done in respectively about 15 minutes and that was being extreme careful as i have tons of peripherals in my box. The instruction manual that they give you is great it has black and white pics and is really easy to follow. So they did an extremely good job on this

Ok is this thing going to stand up to it reputation. Well that is why i waited til today to post this because i wanted to put it through
hell before i gave any reviews. Well lets just answer the question before i get into the specs...... YES it absolutely does a great job..

On The Q8200 overclocked from 2.33ghz to 3.0ghz i have seen a 10 degree drop in my cpu temp over all. On the stock intel fan with the same overclock my cpu temp would sit idle at about 35 degrees Celsius with the
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 however it is sitting at 24/25 degrees Celsius. This is amazing.. Even under full load with this cooler i am not getting any temps over 40 degrees celsius.... Which is extremely great and is all that need to be said..

You can pick this cooler up from MP3
SUPERSTORE for less then $30.00 with super fast free shipping

Review - 23" HP De-Branded HDMI 1080p Widescreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers











I received My Monitor from Geeks.Com today..... Yes i know its Sunday and why Fedex brought it to me today is beyond me ,but i will not complain...

Well lets start off with the unboxing of this item.. All i have to say is it looks even bigger in person ,but that is besides the point.. This thing was packed in there so well they probably could have dropped it from a helicopter and it would have been fine.. So as far as the boxing and shipping aspect of this unit i Give it a 5 out of 5..

Inside the Box of course the Monitor, but it also came with an Audio Cable, Vga Cable and Power Cord.. Was a little surprised not to see an HDMI cable as it is a full HD monitor and you need the cable to get Hd signal. But not really a huge deal as you can pick one up online nowadays for next to nothing. .

Now that we have everything out of the box..Did i mention that this monitor is HUGE and for lack of a better term beautiful.. Ok everything now hooked up and WOW what a screen.. The picture is absolutely amazing and Flawless..

I ran a few DVDs on it and played a little Modern Warfare 2 as well as just my every day stuff and i am totally impressed for $160 from GEEKS.com this was an amazing buy...

My only Complaint and i will be calling GEEKS.COM tomorrow is i noticed one dead pixel.. I know it is not a huge deal as you really can't even notice it, but i want to see what there response is. I will be adding to this tomorrow after i speak to GEEK's Support

So Over all for the Money you can't beat it so head over to GEEKS.com and get yours as i am sure they won't Last
