The upcoming line-up includes 550W and 700W units, both of which are 80Plus Silver certified, and feature Japanese 105°C capacitors, DC-DC technology to provide stable performance, as well as undervoltage, overvoltage, short-circuit, overload and overcurrent protection.
The PSUs also have four 12V rails, are cooled off by a 140mm fan and are set to start hitting stores on September 1st.

Nokia enters Netbook Market
Aug 26
The Booklet has 3G, Bluetooth, and wi-fi connectivity
|
The world’s largest manufacturer of mobile phones will join the PC market with its Booklet 3G netbook.
The Windows-based device is about 2cm thick and will offer 3G connectivity as well as wi-fi.
Analysts said the laptop was a “natural extension” of the company’s product range but the firm would face stiff competition.
Nokia will release price and availability information at an event in Stuttgart on 2 September.
The Booklet has an aluminium case, weighs 1.25 kilograms (2.75 lbs) and its 10-inch screen is HD-ready.
Nokia has released a number of small, “tablet”-style internet-enabled devices in the past to mixed reviews, but this is the first effort which is claimed to be a full-function PC.
“A growing number of people want the computing power of a PC with the full benefits of mobility,” said Kai Oistamo, Nokia’s executive vice president for devices.
“We are in the business of connecting people and the Nokia Booklet 3G is a natural evolution for us.”
So lately, I’ve been busy tweaking other people’s computers. My friends’ computers have been conking out on them one after another so I’ve been the one asked to help them out with their plight.
I’ve had the pleasure of overclocking and benchmarking my friend Gab’s computer.
Here are his specs:
The roadmap to Apple television (as opposed to Apple TV), as Munster sees it:
- A new Apple TV set-top box within the next few months, with a TV input and DVR built in. “With the popularity of ad-based internet TV (Hulu.com) and subscription models (Netflix’s Watch Instantly), we believe a-la-carte (iTunes) video purchases have lost share against other video models in recent months. As such, we believe Apple is exploring a subscription-based offering for its TV content in iTunes.”
- An iTunes TV Pass within the next year. “Apple could leverage its deep library of content with many network and cable channel content owners to provide unlimited access to a sub-library of its TV shows for a standard monthly fee ($30 to $40 per month). Such a product would effectively replace a consumer’s monthly cable bill (~$85/month) and offer access to current and older episodes of select shows on select channels.”
- An Apple television set within the next two years that could wirelessly sync with iPods, iPhones and Macs. “Such a device would command a premium among a competitive field of budget TVs; we believe Apple could differentiate itself with software that makes home entertainment simple and solves a pain point for consumers (complicated TV and component systems).”
As evidence for Apple’s interest for pushing deeper into the living room, Munster cites: COO Tim Cook’s statement last month that the company will continue to invest in Apple TV because “we fundamentally believe there is something there for us in the future”; patents covering digital video recording; and a five-year, $500 million partnership with LG to produce LCD screens.

I wouldn’t buy an Apple Television even if it was sold for 99$, I’d rather get an LCD TV or a Plasma TV then hook it up to my Home Theatre PC. Does everything I want it to do, and it’s a computer to boot. None of that Apple Mini crap or crippled computers that can barely do anything. My HTPC can play HD Content, Multitask, has terabytes of storage, and play games. What more can I ask? =p
