Earlier this year we had the opportunity to check out a new stereoscopic viewing system from NVIDIA called GeForce 3D Vision. Our feelings were a little mixed on the technology, as it isn't always seamless on top of a few other small issues. But, as we saw with Left 4 Dead, when the game doesn't do too many things that get in the way of the stereo effect, the experience can add a feeling of realism that it is simply impossible to achieve otherwise. And the other major drawback to NVIDIA's technology is that it only works with NVIDIA graphics cards.
At GDC we had the opportunity to check out the latest from iZ3D, a company that has been making stereoscopic drivers for quite a while now. Their drivers can enable stereo viewing on any PC through anaglyph (the red and blue tinted images we are all familiar with) in addition to working with various other technologies like stereo projectors. Most recently, iZ3D has introduced a stereoscopic viewing system that makes use of an actively polarized monitor and passive glasses in order to bring simple and easy to use stereoscopic viewing to the masses without the color distortion associated with anaglyph. The 22" monitor package they sent us to test comes in at $400.

Today we have a guest article from Martin who tested 30 different 120mm fans when mounted on a water-cooling radiator. He measured generated noise, cubic feet per minute of air moved with each fan, allowing for some impressive comparative result charts. If you arere looking for a 120mm fan upgrade, this article is a must read.

<span class="content"><font size="2">Digital Storm was a new name to us when they first called to offer a gaming system for review. They carry a number of different systems, and pride themselves on "performance, support, and value". Today we're looking at a no-holds-barred, top of the line system: an overclocked Core i7-965 with water-cooling and triple-SLI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 285 GPUs. First, we'll look at the company, the website and ordering process, and the system and components; then we'll jump into our performance review of the Core i7-965 system.</font><span class="content">
<p><strong><font size="2">Digital Storm - Overview</font></strong></p>
<p><font size="2">We didn't know much about Digital Storm's history, so we asked them for a brief PR blurb, excerpted in part below.</font></p>
<p><font size="2"></font></p>
<blockquote><em><font size="2">Digital Storm was founded in San Jose, CA in 2001 and has been in the computer gaming industry for nearly 9 years. In that time we have come to be regarded as a system integrator that builds bleeding-edge: fast, stable, and highly customized gaming systems backed up with a passionate staff that stands behind their product. We are also the only computer gaming company with an "A+" rating from the BBB. This rating reflects our company's dedication to taking care of our customers. Our company has adopted a simple theory: put yourself in the customers shoes. Every decision we make reflects this anthem.</font></em></blockquote>

<p><font size="2">Also, as previously stated, their "About Us" page claims they operate by providing performance, support, and value. We'll look at each claim in turn and examine how they rate.<br />
