Startech was for me a unknown company so this is going to be intresting. They sent me their silent PSU with 300W power behind it. But is it really silent? Will the voltage be right?

This product stands out from most other power supplies because you can manually adjust the two fans with a dial. They include two fan controllers, one for the front 5 1/4" drive bay and one for the back PCI slot. Also, this PSU is very quite at only 17dBA under normal operating conditions. Watch the Video to find out more.

The VIA EPIA M9000 may not be the answer for the person who needs the fastest components for game play, intensive business applications, or simple bragging rights, but it does not make any pretenses of being such a device. What it is does provide is a low power, low noise, low cost system ideally suited for rich multimedia, desktop, and internet applications. The miniature size and onboard integration of most of the peripherals allow the user the flexibility of endless installation opportunities. Whether it be in an office, a home entertainment center, a car, and so on, the practical uses and enclosure possibilities are really only limited to the owner's creativity

Chaintech recently invited us to attend their latest event, "Reloaded". The event covered its newest products, anticipated by consumers worldwide. There's been much talk about the NVidia FX5900 on numerous hardware sites, forums, and among consumers. Chaintech has 1,080 employees across the world, and capital of 39 million dollars. Chaintech placed its IPO in February 1998, and has been ISO 9001 since December 1994. The event was definitely worth participating in, and showed that a very strong partnership with nVidia is key for its new products on offer. The event started out with a meeting in the Penthouse at the Doubletree hotel, New Orleans, Louisiana. As invitees slowly drifted in after their arrivals in New Orleans, we had a chance to meet each other and to introduce ourselves to the Chaintech staff.
