 Lamps Electronics modding supply roundupPosted on: 3/28/2008 12:00:00 AMLately everyone has been throwing cold cathodes at their computers, but what about our old friend the Light Emitting Diode (L.E.D.)? Well today I�m going to be looking at 3 LED based products by �Lamps Electronics�.  Sunbeam Cigarette lighterPosted on: 3/28/2008 12:00:00 AMMy first thought when I opened this was,'What do you do with a cigarette lighter on the computer?!' Well I guess this is a great product for people that smoke. With this gadget from Sunbeam you can mount a cigarette lighter in a 5.25 drive bay. Easy to use and you never have to get up :) Well let's have a closer look at this product.  JacolTech Mirror fan grillsPosted on: 3/28/2008 12:00:00 AMFan grills are an important part in the modding business because they make your case look special. For awhile there have not been any new fan grills out there the biohazard etc have been selling but nothing new has come out in the meanwhile. Today we are having a look at some mirrored fan grills. These look really sweet and are pretty cheap to. JacolTech was kind enough to send me 4 different mirror fan grills to review.  Sunbeam lighted IDE cablesPosted on: 3/28/2008 12:00:00 AMWell tonite we are having a look at some lighted IDE cables from Sunbeam. Sunbeam has made themselves known as a modding company and we have reviewed several of their products lately. Tonite however we are having a look at some IDE cables that light up to give your case a nicer look. Let's see how these perform compared to normal IDE cables and if there is any problems with them. Stay tuned as tonite is going to be bright for us :)  Sunbeam Night Magic, Lazerled, Led ProjectorPosted on: 3/28/2008 12:00:00 AMWell Sunbeam is a well known company on the modding market these days, and today we have a few "flashy" products from them on our test bench. There is the already known Lazerled but also the Night magic and Led projector which are new products from them. If you want to ''flash up'' your case this might be interesting for you.  Sunbeam dancing lightPosted on: 3/27/2008 12:00:00 AMDancing disco light for your case. This will be very interesting to see :) Xpcases sent us this great product that is a Sunbeam product. We will look closer into how this little gadget works and if it really is a good addition for your mode project.  Mutantmods from StartechPosted on: 3/27/2008 12:00:00 AMWell you have seen tons of reviews on different modding products and we have a few more modding products here also that we thought we should share our thoughts on. Mountainmods sent us a bunch of their modding products that we have put into one review so you can easily go through it and get our opinion so if you are in the market for something check out this review. Flexiglow Lazer beam KitPosted on: 3/27/2008 12:00:00 AMAhhh Flexiglow seems like a new interesting company to me. They have products that nobody else does. Today I'm going to review a Laser beam kit from them and some leds/lamps that you can put wherever in your case. They were kind enough to send me the red and blue ones. We are going to see how bright they are and if they do heat up your case. Well lets get to business again.  Sunbeam ElstripPosted on: 3/27/2008 12:00:00 AMI have reviewed EL strip before and they are nice but usually dont have the power to light up a case... So does this one from Sunbeam do that? What are the positive things with the one from Sunbeam? Thats things we are going to talk about tonite as we review a El strip from Sunbeam... Lamps Electronics Cold cathode fan grillPosted on: 3/26/2008 12:00:00 AMWell this is something fairly new that I have not seen much of in the modding scene. It's a cold cathode fan grill. Lamps Electronics were kind enough to send me a kit with the fan grill and a inverter for a review. We are going to see how well made it is, how bright it really can be, and also check how good it looks :) JimmsfangrillsPosted on: 3/26/2008 12:00:00 AMWell tonite we are going to look at some Lasecut fangrill that fit on 80mm fans. Fan grills are a nice addition to your already modded case. Some of them might be pretty pricey and really bad made so we are going to look at the price and how these are made. SVC laser cut fan grillsPosted on: 3/26/2008 12:00:00 AMA large majority of people today like to modify their case so that is it original, so it stands out. They do this by modifying their cases using a bunch of different things. Nobody likes those standard wire grills, so we decide to buy laser cut fan grills, but which are the best? Today we will be looking at three custom fan grills provided by SVC; they are the �Chiroptor�, �Lion King�, and �Dragon� fan grills. Let�s see what they�re like! Xoxide Spider fan grillPosted on: 3/26/2008 12:00:00 AMToday we are taking a look at a fan grill from Xoxide. It's their lasercut fan grill with a spider on it. It looks relly good and we are going to take a close look and see how well made it is and how it looks. Logisys LedfeetPosted on: 3/26/2008 12:00:00 AMWell Ledfeet are pretty new still on the modding market but they really do add a nice look to your case. We got some of these feet from Xoxide and today we are having a chance to take a look at them closeup. This will be interesting to see how they really do look like. Stay tuned for this review. Bitsccfl CCFLPosted on: 3/25/2008 12:00:00 AMWell everyone knows about Bitspower right? If not keep reading :) They sent me 3 CCFL to look at one three colored, one UV and one blue one. That are the ones I will look at this evening. There is alot of these CCFL�s out there but Bitspower has always done quality stuff... So will these CCFL�s be better than the others out there? Especially the blue ones are never really blue but will this be? Vantec Pci slot covers and Spectrum fan cardPosted on: 3/25/2008 12:00:00 AMWe have two new products from Vantec today. We will look at their Spectrum fan card which gives better air circulation in the case, and some PCI slot covers that cover your PCI slots from getting dusty and mailfunctioning. Do these products work? Well that's what we are here to figure out. Lamps Electronics Cold cathodesPosted on: 3/25/2008 12:00:00 AMWell it's finally time to review some cold cathodes from Lamps Electronics. These seem to be really high quality and shine nice and bright and actually be the color they say it is.... Well I will not say much more but get this review going!  Sunbeam overclock cooler kitPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMOverclocker cooling kit? Well this kit is supposed to be a product that enables you to get better air cooling in your computer. It's a straight pipe that goes from your front intake fan straight to your cpu so the plan is that it should provide with fresh air all the time. We are going to see if we get lower temperatures with this product.  Sunbeam CCFL fan grillPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMThe fan grill arrive excellently packed and in a plastic �bubble� packet, the colour of the grill is marked on the back, also stating that the grill has not one but 2 cold cathodes inserted in its plastic exterior, these can be seen clearly, when not connected to the power they are a bright white, the cables from the cold cathodes are separate meaning 4 wires trail from the grill, at about 20cm each. The mounting holes for the grill are raised up roughly half a centimetre. The centre of the grill is also indented, which gives it a unique look, along with its spiral design it almost looks like an alloy wheel (or have I been playing too much NFS-U?).  Sunbeam Skull fan grillPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMAnother review from Murdoc and today he is having a close look at the skull fan grill from Sunbeam that was provided to us by Jab-Tech.  Flexiglow Reactive neonPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMWe have a pretty cool looking product on the test bench today. We will look at some UV reactive Neon paint. Flexiglow sent us this for a review and we will test it out on a keyboard to see if we can get some kind of action out of it. Sunbeam fan grills and thumb screwsPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMToday it's time to look at some mod products again. This time we have some fan grills and thumb screws from Sunbeam. We will look closer into the quality and see how they look installed. Let's get started.  Sunbeam Lightbus, Chameleon, Led fan and CCFLPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMWell today we take a look at a bunch of modding products from Sunbeam. We will test them out and see how well they work and if they stand out from the thousands of other modding products out there on the market. We have some interesting fan controllers and CCFL to look at tonight. Sunbeam Cold cathode UV fansPosted on: 3/24/2008 12:00:00 AMWhen you think of the word modding, one brand probably pops into your mind right away and that's Sunbeam! Today we are having a look at their CCFL fans. They seem to be high quality and you can probably use these as case fans and various other things to light and cool off your case a little :) I recieved a few different colored ones so stay tuned and check out this review.  Sunbeam Cold cathode bubble lightPosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMEveryone is probably getting bored with the cold cathode reviews out there. Sunbeam sent me this interesting products that is called the bubble light. It's basically a cold cathode with bubbles in it. The bubbles give the light a nice effect and it looks really cool. Stay tuned as we have a closer look on this modding product.  Sunbeam Counter strike fan grill provided by Xpcases.comPosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMI have looked at these fan grills for some time with interest, it goes against convention to have them made out of plastic but we have plastic cases now and they look great. A fan grill for some time had only one function to guard various objects from the fan, I have heard stories of stitches needed after a run in with a 120mm delta, and I have been known to get on the painful side of a fan, but when laser cut fans came along this changed, they also looked great. It wasn�t long I until the latest incarnation of the humble fan grill came along in the form of clear plastic, I�m unsure on the type of plastic but I would guess its acrylic. pcToys Cold CathodesPosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMIn today�s modding world, anyone who is a modder has a cold cathode kit in their case. There is always controversy about which company makes the best, highest quality, and brightest lights. Today we will check out a pair of UV cathodes from PcToys.  Sunbeam Liquid Neon TubePosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMToday I�m going to be reviewing the �Liquid Neon� by sunbeam. The neon comes in an excellent box to keep it from being damaged. The side of the package gives the details of the neon, the one I will be looking at is the blue spiral pattern neon. The plastic box opens at the top and the contents slide out in one go. A single plastic tie secures the wires and inverter to the neon, this can be slid off without effort.  Xpcases Uv Ide cablePosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMRounded cables you gotta love em. The increase the airflow and look damn cool. When I got this round IDE cable I had no idea that it was �ultra violet� (UV) reactive, but discovered its nature when the Bigman himself told me. UV cables appear to glow when placed under an ultra violet light source, a high quality UV light will emit little visible light, thus the cable will appear to glow. I didn�t recognise that the cable was UV reactive as the clear flexible plastic covering the cable is very clear. Which gives a nice effect when the computer is turned on. The little wires in the cable are multi coloured except for ever other wire which is white, this wire is a ground wire to reduce interference. Sunbeam ThumbscrewsPosted on: 3/23/2008 12:00:00 AMThumbscrews are usually included with cases these days but some manufacturers have started to make shaped thumbscrews to give your case a more special look. We have three different thumbscrews from Sunbeam which have three different motives that we will give you a short review on today.  Sunbeam MinibaybusPosted on: 1/28/2008 12:00:00 AMHave you ever thought of getting rid of a bunch of extender cables etc out of your case? Well this product might help you with it! We got a Minibaybus from Sunbeam for testing and you just plug in your molex connector and power this up and it gives you four connectors you can connect fans etc to and get rid of a bunch of cables or just get more connectors in your case. Geargrip LCD harnessPosted on: 10/21/2003 12:00:00 AMGeargrip is a pretty big company that is working behind the scenes since they don't make hardware or modd products. They make carry bags for screen and computers. They sent me a sample of their LCD harness which is a carry "bag" for your LCD screen. This seems to be a nice high quality product that you can use when you want to move your TFT screen to LANS or when you are moving etc etc so stay tuned as we have a closer look. |
