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

  • Cooler Master V10 Heatsink Review

    Published: Saturday, May 9, 2009 - Cooling Cooler Master V10 Heatsink Review

    In the human mindset if you see something big you expect it to be something incredible to size proportion. The Cooler Master V10 does give this kind of "Wow" first impression. It is huge, and even has some TEC cooling magic.

  • MSI Radeon HD 4890 1GB OC Graphic Card Review

    Published: Thursday, May 7, 2009 - Video MSI Radeon HD 4890 1GB OC Graphic Card Review

    In this review we will be looking at MSI version of this new card called the Radeon HD 4890 OC. OC stands for overclocked meaning it comes from the factory with a slightly better clock speed from what ATI had intended. Typically OC cards don't overclock well but with a little tweaking you can usually squeeze out a few more frames or, simply leave the card alone and enjoy the nice performance boost.

  • Choiix Air-Through Thin Notebook Cooling Pad Review

    Published: Tuesday, May 5, 2009 - Cooling Choiix Air-Through Thin Notebook Cooling Pad Review

    Every laptop has its own method for keeping cool but the question comes up as to how you can enhance that cooling and maybe make your laptop a little easier to use. Well the Choiix design does a little bit of both. Additional cooling comes in the form of 2x 60mm fans that consistently keep fresh air flowing under the laptop. The additional elevation also helps to tilt the laptop keyboard a few degrees to give you better access to the keys.

    The Lamptron FC3 fan controller is a stylish fanbus that is designed to seamlessly integrate with the modern high-end computer and gives you total control over your chassis fans to help combat noise and available cooling power. The FC3 also allows you to tune overall cooling performance by speeding up intake fans and giving you that much needed positive air pressure for proper cooling.

  • Cooler Master Storm Scout Case Review

    Published: Thursday, April 30, 2009 - Cases Cooler Master Storm Scout Case Review

    The CM Storm Scout is not as small as it might sound but it is much smaller than the CM Storm Sniper. The bold hard lines of the case accented with a flat black finish is just plain awesome. The Scout features a full mesh front for full air flow, and a black textured finish that is almost stealth like in appearance.

  • Thermaltake T3000 Fanless Notebook Cooling Pad

    Published: Monday, April 27, 2009 - Cooling Thermaltake T3000 Fanless Notebook Cooling Pad

    In this review we will be looking at the Thermaltake T3000 fanless notebook cooler. This is a very simple device for helping to keep you and your laptop cool. The lack of cooling fans means that no external power source is required and that its primary method of cooling is by allowing air to freely access the laptop and prevent heat from accessing you.
