iBUYPOWER Launches Paladin XLC “Extreme Liquid Cooling” Gaming Systems with Oversized Fans and Double-sized 240mm Radiator Liquid Cooling System

Paladin XLC V3 Features Coolermaster HAF 932 Full Tower, Intel Core i7-975 CPU, and three NVIDIA Geforce GTX 285 in Triple-SLI configuration

iBUYPOWER one of the largest gaming PC manufacturers in the world, is excited to announce the super-cooled Paladin XLC line of gaming PCs. iBUYPOWER outfitted each system with Asetek’s 240mm radiator liquid cooling solution to keep the Paladin XLC running long and cool in a tundra-esque state. The double-sized radiator is paired with 2 massive 230mm fans, which turn at a virtually noiseless 800RPM.

“PC Cooling is a fairly simple concept, the cooler a system runs the better and longer it will perform,” said Darren Su, Vice President of iBUYPOWER. “The Paladin XLC systems were designed with advanced cooling systems to increase component lifespan, allow for higher clock speeds, and ensure a better gaming experience for our customers.”

Three models are on offer, ranging from the Paladin XLC V1 with a Core i7-920 CPU, 6GB of DDR3 RAM, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 graphics and 1TB of storage, up to the Paladin XLC V3 with the Core i7-975 Extreme CPU, triple NVIDIA GTX285 graphics, 12GB of DDR3 RAM and both an 80GB SSD and 1TB 7,200rpm HDD. The full specifications, plus the intermediate model, are in the gallery below.

All three run Vista Home Premium, have gigabit LAN and liquid cooling. There’s also an option to specify one of six custom cases. The iBUYPOWER Paladin XLC systems start at $1,399, with the top-spec i7-975 Extreme going for $4,299

Asus USB 2.0 Blu-ray Drive

2009-07-01T07:51:00.000-07:00

How can you make your external USB Blu-ray drive better than everyone elses? Well, you could make it a Blu-ray burner, give it a range of connections and make it super-cheap, or you could go the ASUS way and put a great big light-up blue X on the side.

According to ASUS, the SBC-04B1S-U’s “elegant stand design and high glossy appearance represents its high feel of science and technology”, which is perhaps stretching the limits of what a basic USB Blu-ray reader can be described as. They also provide a dedicated app for adjusting the light-up X’s brightness, meaning you can have it set to different levels when reading or writing different media.

Baseline specs are 4.8x maximum Blu-ray disc reading, 8x DVD burning and 24x CD burning. It connects via USB 2.0 and is compatible with Windows but not OS X; no word on exactly how much that big flashing X will set you back, though.

The Asus USB 2.0 Blu-ray Drive is compatible with Windows, here are the specifications.

Max. 4.8X BD-ROM/R/RE (SL)(DL)/ 8X DVD-ROM(SL)(DL)/8X DVD+R/ 8X DVD+RW – Read
Max. 8X DVD+R/ 8X DVD+RW – Write
Max. 5X DVD-RAM –Read & Write
Turbo Engine increases the connection performance between the USB cable and the external drive.
TrueTheater High Definition (TTHD) turns standard content into HD-quality images on high-resolution displays.
Disc Encryption allows you to password protect an entire disc or its partial content.
BluTuner is a software that allows you to adjust the brightness level for the external blue light while reading BD discs and reading/writing DVD and CD formats.

Fake Car Key Security Spy Camera

2009-06-29T05:56:00.000-07:00

If you thought that the keychain spy camera wasn’t quite stealthy enough, this car key might work a little bit better. Just close up the key part and it would cover up all of the spots that let on that it’s actually a spy camera in disguise. Closing up the key won’t obstruct the view of the camera itself though. There’s just a small hole at the bottom of the plastic part, that no one would ever suspect is a camera.

This fake key comes from Brando just like the keychain. It’s also extremely similar, the biggest difference is that they are two different shapes. This fake key has 2GB of built-in memory and can shoot at 29 FPS. The color video resolution is at 640 x 480 and then the image resolution is 1280 x 960 pixels. It has video as well as audio and a rechargeable Li-ion battery that can be recharged via the mini USB port, here are the features and specifications.
