Recently I tossed up a quick shot of my under construction L shaped desk. Now that’s done and the PCBurn office is already over-run with equipment both on test and for repair. Currently there’s a small horde of laptops lying around, part of both a hobby (I like to gut and repair/part out […]

Getting back to the technical bent I’ve got a new product in to try out for PCBun (hey, maybe I’ll even write about it…).
The RatPadzGS is a relatively new product from the guys over at the [H]ocp for gaming.  I figure it should work just as well for regular use.

There’s nothing quite like deciding your peltier driven phased cooling kit just doesn’t have enough oomph anymore.  That’s just what this guy over at MadShrimps did, so he decided to rip it apart and make a few modifications for efficiency.
With a little re-engineering his old kit was made new, and now it’s freezing even the […]
