Puget Systems Serenity SPCR Edition Reviewed: Shh...

"This is our second review unit from the Washington-based Puget Systems (our first was several years ago when they were first starting out), and it's a doozy. While the P67/H67 chipset recall has proven to be a boot to the collective breadbasket of the industry, we were fortunate enough to get the Serenity SPCR Edition in before the recall hit, and Puget was kind enough to let us review it anyhow. That seems reasonable, since the SATA bug in the chipset isn't liable to affect any of our test results outside of PCMark, leaving us with an opportunity to show you a remarkable system that you'll be able to get your hands on in the near future."

I love quiet computers. I love fast computers. Those two things don't often go together, but if you work at it long enough, sometimes they do. If you're not willing/able to do that kind of work yourself, buying a system that's quiet right out of the box is the next best thing. This system was built in conjunction with the awesome Web site Silent PC Review; I used that site as a resource when I was on my quest for silencing my Core i7 system.

ATI Releases New Card That Focuses On Multimedia

"It's rare to see a rumor -- hell, even a roadmap -- pinpoint the timing of new releases quite so accurately, but our earlier report of ATI refreshing the middle and lower parts of its lineup turned out to be bang on. Following in the footsteps of the HD 5670, we have the Radeon HD 5450, which drags the entry price for DirectX 11 and Eyefinity multi-monitor support all the way down to $50."

It's rare that a graphics manufacturer releases a card aimed purely at multimedia and not gaming, but this is exactly what ATI are doing. Say hello to the HD 5450 which is aimed at people requiring a silent, yet powerful enough card to handle the multimedia requirements we now demand of our Media Center PCs. If that's not good enough news for you, then then price will be - $50.
