Double up with the TWIN series that gives you double the value with 2x CCFL for the price of one. Be the brightest star in the universe. AC Ryan TWIN CCFL includes 2 premium-quality CCFL light tubes - brilliantly bright and long-life. The CCFL lights are individually encased in a clear hard acrylic tube. These hard acrylic tubes protect the CCFL from damage and breaking (50% of CCFL lights without acrylic cover are broken during usage or transport). They also double up as a light magnifier, giving 360 degrees unobstructed light throughout the entire length of the CCFL. The ends of the tubes are capped with clear acrylic cubes for easy mounting. At the heart of the TWIN CCFL is an advanced silent dual-driver inverter that powers 2 CCFLs. With built-in sound-sensor, the TWIN has a sound-activated mode that gives lots of fun as the lights flashes in respond to sound. You can control the sensitivity to respond to only that pounding bass line, flicker at the slightest hint of sound. Perfect with games - watch your PC flash as you fire the gunshot. Don't like sound-active flashing? Just switch it to on or off - the inverter features a built-in switch with 3 settings - on / off / sound-active. To install the TWIN, simply plug in the 4pin molex connector to your power supply and turn it on! All the parts are easily disassembled and assembled so you can easily change and modify them. The lights are connected to the inverter with 2pin plugs. You can easily plug and unplug them. Even the CCFL can be removed from the protective clear hard acrylic tube. The package includes 2x 30cm CCFL light and 1x advanced silent dual-driver sound-active inverter (4pin molex power connector).
Advantages: good quality, cheap cartridges Disadvantages: slow printing high quality photos
...I purchased this printer because it was cheap - inf act it was cheaper than buying new cartridges for my old printer.
What I got though, isn't a cheap and nasty printer. I have a quality bit of office kit which has been used every day for the past 18months and has survived a house move.
the printing speed is really fast and any setting apart from the top quality - which I only use for printing by best Photos.
The picture quality id really good for a printer this price - The cartridge are reasonable too. A twin pack Black and colour cartridges costs less than some other makes do for the just the black cartridge. From experience the cartridges do tend to last longer than other makes I have used.
I cannot comment on customer services, or ease of getting the printer repaired because in the 18months or so I have had one it has never...

Advantages: Good air flow, cheap, very expandable. Disadvantages: Average build quality
...Jeantech Phong.
The Phong is Jeantech's budget offering, even still it has 7 3½ inch hard drive bays and four 5¼ Drive bays. Jeantech has chosen to make the savings by cutting out all the non essentials like tool-less hard drive removal and motherboard trays, which server a limited purpose after the system has been built. The case is constructed from steel with a plastic front end, the case is reasonable sturdy and build quality is of a high standard.
The Phong comes with a large number of accessories, which include, a mix bag of screws and bolts for building your system, thumb screws for the side panels, two 12cm fans, a Molex to twin 3 head fan converter, front air filter, As well as a funnel which funnels in cold air over the HSF. As well as this the Phong has side panel control which features two USB ports, an Audio output...

Advantages: Well built, looks nice, works well Disadvantages: Instructions a bit vague, cheaper options out there
...with a small pair of LEDs to show which temperature is being displayed. Unfortunately, the instructions don't tell you which is which so you have to guess.
The front panel contains 2 40mm fans. These start at 4500rpm and increase to 5500 RPM linearly as the temperature rises above 30 degrees C.
In Use
The Antec HD Cooler was extremely quiet, you'd barely know it had any fans at all. The display on my PC showed a case temperature of 43 degrees C with the drive running at 33 degrees C so clearly, the aluminium jacket and twin fans were working well. It was also useful to have a constant reminder of how warm the machine is, giving plenty of warning if things did start to warm up, perhaps on a hot summer's day.
A less obvious side effect of using something like the Antec HD Cooler is that it provides a new bay for your hard drive and for those who...

Pretty routine world war 2 war epic that's just a little bit too far out but does allow Frank Sinatra to spread his wings and actually turn in a decent performance.
