When we first got a glimpse of the V series CPU coolers from Cooler Master we were very impressed.  We first got a chance to check out the V8 cooler , then came the V10 cooler and today we have the brand new V6 GT cooler.  Once again like the other coolers in the V series it has the engine inspired look and a very unique design.  Cooler Master says the V6 GT is the most efficient cooler in the V series thanks to the double-V heatpipes, inclined heatsink array, universal steel pressure mounting and twin DynaLoop dynamic bearing fans.  Let’s take a look at the V6 GT and see if it is a real performer. Special thanks to Cooler Master for providing us with the V6 GT CPU Cooler to review.

I had been looking for a nice laptop stand for a while, something that could be modified easily when I stumbled across a laptop stand at IKEA, the Swedish Household Superstore. The quality of the stand took me by surprise, and IKEA was selling them for a mere $2.50. Unable to pass up a deal like this, I bought several of them.

Antec is a company I usually don’t associate with cooling products, when I think of Antec I think of quality cases and power supplies.  This year at CES Antec showed us a lot of new cases, but they were very excited about a new notebook cooler that they had developed.  The Notebook Cooler Designer is a notebook cooler made for laptops up to 15-inches and features a 110mm fan that blows at a quiet 800RPM.  The notebook cooler also has a very stylish design hence the name designer.  Let’s take a look and see if the Notebook Cooler Designer is perfect for your laptop.
