Best of year products

Sidney · 1st November 2005, 19:00

End of the year is coming; drawing to the close of 2005, we could take a deeper look into what we have done with the products that went thru our hands. Perhaps, we could highlight some of the GOOD, Better and Best.

We can catogorized the product groups; or lump all products together as a whole. What do you think?

Best in Air Cooler
Best in Water Cooing
Best gadgets (controllers, etc)
Best Video card
Best memory

Bases:
1) Performance
2) Price point
3) Usefullness
4) Installation in degree of difficulity

Good project, with a few newcomers scheduled before the end of the year it might be hard to draw conclusion already though

My votes-

1) Venice 3000+ = good price/performance/low thermal/excellent oc.
2) Gskill DDR - kiss ***, bad customer service
3) NUUO power supply = good price point +features

jmke · 28th December 2005, 22:31

kiss ***? should that not be "kick ***"?

Sidney · 28th December 2005, 22:39

Gskill is good either way

28th December 2005, 22:58

1) Opteron 146 (definitly the best)
2) Mushkin Redline xp4000
3) TT Big Typhoon

(but i dont think any of these passed trough your hands???)
