After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

CoolerMaster Vortex 752 Review
Published: Monday, July 23, 2007 - CoolingWhen it comes to CPU aircooling the current trend is all about heatpipes, and why not? Heatpipe coolers are in some instances better than the traditional block style heatsinks and only require a small amount of airflow to work. The only inherent drawback would be size, as heatpipe coolers tend to be rather large.

DFI has provided an alternative specially designed for the enthusiast and gamer that doesn't require a all out motherboard solution

CoolJag Falcon 92-AL Review
Published: Sunday, June 24, 2007 - CoolingHeatsinks are an integral part of any computer system. Some are big others are small, most follow a typical styling while others push the envelope in performance and/or styling. We here at Ninjalane usually opt for a custom cooling solution instead of using the OEM heatsink. However with the current trend moving towards large heatpipe radiators it is hard to know if they will really provide the cooling you need or just take up space and inhibit airflow.

DFI LAN Party UT NF680I LT SLI-T2R Motherboard Review
Published: Monday, April 30, 2007 - MotherboardsIn the Enthusiast hardware world "custom" is the name of the game. This is not a hard and fast rule but when you look at what people do to get the best performance you cannot deny that enthusiasts like to change things. It might start with something simple like watercooling or something extreme like voltage mods, either way the system is no longer stock.

Hiper Type R 730W Power Supply (HPU-4S730) Review
Published: Wednesday, January 31, 2007 - Power_SupplyThe Hiper HPU-4S730 is a very unique PSU in both in design and layout. The unit comes with 2x 20dba cooling fans and a fancy Stainless Steel chassis. The main ATX power connector is hardwired and located in the standard location, beyond that things get rather unique.
