Updated HP Firebird with Voodoo DNA

February 6, 2009 at 7:01 pm

Agreed: "5400RPM disk drives - far from high end"

Agreed: "expensive - limited value for the price"

Agreed: "limited upgradability - components are all custom built for eachother/enclosure"

Updated HP Pavilion Verde

February 6, 2009 at 6:58 pm

Agreed: "not REALLY any more green than any other computer - intentionally misleading and praying on stupid consumer guilt / trends"

Agreed: "not worth $ 579"

Disagreed: "5GB of RAM is excessive and not very green"

Agreed: "5GB of RAM is excessive and not very green"

New pro/con: no DVI/HDMI output, nForce 430 chipset is no real energy saver

February 6, 2009 at 6:01 pm

Agreed: "Low power consumption"

Disagreed: "1 TB can be hard to backup."

Updated Antec SLK3700-BQE

February 6, 2009 at 5:54 pm

Added a related product: Antec SLK2650-BQE

Added a related product: Antec SLK3800B

New pro/con: If this case is used with modern hardware, the power supply should be replaced (underrated, 20-pin motherboard connector, not many SATA connectors)

New pro/con: Much better value for the money than Sonata family cases

New pro/con: The door in front of external drive bays is easily removable (and probably will be removed in most cases as it blocks the entry to both the drives and the power button)

Updated Antec NSK6580

February 6, 2009 at 5:30 pm

New pro/con: Doesn't have the washable air filter in front of the front fans like some other Antec models (such as SLK3700BQE)

New pro/con: For reasons unknown, the black edition of this case is priced higher than the two-color unit

New pro/con: Good cooling potential: the rear 120mm TriCool fan is supplied with the case and is also very quiet. The side panel has an air guide for the CPU with optional 80mm fan mounting at the base and there are two mounts for optional 92mm fans at the front. The case is relatively quiet even with the optional fans installed.

New pro/con: No external 3.5" expansion bays available (an 5.25" to 3.5" adapter is included though)

New pro/con: The included 430W PSU is very quiet and has 80+ rating

Tapped as "have it"

Updated Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H

February 6, 2009 at 4:07 pm

New pro/con: The integrated graphics solution is powerful enough for driving a 1920x1200 flat panel and has hardware decoding support for H.264 & VC-1 HD video formats.

New pro/con: Integrated Radeon HD3200 graphics uses system RAM (by default 256MB) instead of having its own dedicated memory. There is a similar model, GA-MA790GP-DS4H, with Radeon HD3300 graphics and built-in 128MB DDR3 1333MHz SidePort memory, but it is much more expensive.

juggern4ut updated Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H

February 6, 2009 at 3:54 pm

New pro/con: Up to 16 GB RAM supported (4x 4GB modules)

New pro/con: BIOS update adds support for Phenom II CPUs

juggern4ut updated Gigabyte GA-MA78G-DS3H

February 6, 2009 at 2:53 pm

New pro/con: DVI-D and HDMI output cannot be used simultaneously (either DVI-D or HDMI can be used simultaneously with VGA though)

New pro/con: Multiple display connectors: DVI-D, VGA and HDMI (with audio).

Tapped as "have it"

Agreed: "inexpensive for such a full featured board"

Agreed: "Integrated ATI Radeon HD3200 graphics is DirectX 10 compatible and one of the most powerful onboard graphics - perfect for light gaming and 2D/3D rendering without the cost/heat/power usage of a dedicated card"
