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 has realized the desires of their customers and has reworked one of the most popular CM cases on the market today.

    Published: Sunday, March 7, 2010 - Cooling ThermalTake SpinQ VT Heatsink Review

    At first glance the SpinQ VT appears to be a perfect cooler for Ninjalane given its sawblade appearance. While the 50 radiator fins are relatively harmless we cannot speak for the squirrel cage fan inside.

  • Thermaltake Silent 1156 Heatsink Review

    Published: Monday, March 1, 2010 - Cooling Thermaltake Silent 1156 Heatsink Review

    Our heatsink tests are designed to look at cooling capacity at two different heat levels. The difference between the two determines how well a cooler can handle the different heat loads. The ThermalTake Silent 1156 did an excellent job in our tests by easily outperforming the stock 1156 cooler and proving it could handle a minor overclock up to 3.2Ghz.

    Published: Thursday, February 11, 2010 - Video Sapphire Radeon HD5450 Video Card Review

    In this review we will be looking at a lower end video card that has a variety of applications. Quite often a video card of this nature is used to get people some sort of gaming capacity when all they have is the horrible integrated graphics solution.
