Howtoforge published a guide about retrieving emails from remote servers with getmail

Getmail is a program for retrieving emails from remote servers; it is very similar to fetchmail, but more flexible. For example, it can be configured to deliver mails directly to a Maildir or mbox mailbox without the need for an MTA such as Postfix, but of course it can also pipe the mails through an MTA if you want. Getmail can use so called filters such as SpamAssassin and ClamAV to scan the mails, and you can even tell getmail to delete mails on the original server only after a certain number of days.

DragonSteelMods posted a review on the Glacial Power 550Watt PSU
Review

Power supplies come in many shapes and sizes, including varying wattages, but how do you know how much wattage you need? Well that all depends on what you're doing, if it's a basic computer for surfing the internet and doing other office like tasks, you really don't need any of those popular large wattage power supplies out there today. Today for review I've got the Glacial Power 550Watt power supply, it's silent, and more than capable of handling a basic everyday computer...

Techgage posted a review of eVGA's 7900 GS card

If you are not looking for the highest-end GPU on the market but still want one with great performance at an even better price, the 7900 GS might be right up your alley. It fell slightly behind a 7900 GT, but has the overclocking headroom to make up for it.

3D Game Man posted a review on the Leadtek WinFast PX7600 GS TDH Video Card

Leadtek has always had great quality products. They continue to follow the benefits of reference design with their dedication to R&D. The PX7600 GS does not have a whole lot of power behind it and can not keep up with the newest line of budget nVidia cards; the 8600's. The newest 8600 series cards are now available and you can pick one up for only about fifteen dollars more than this 7600.

Overclockers Online has posted a new review on the Samsung 245BW

Samsung continues to impress all of us at Overclockers Online with their lineup of digital monitors. I felt the Samsung 245BW had superior picture quality compared to other monitors I've had, including the 275T. This can be attributed to the smaller screen size while maintaining the large 1920x1200 resolution.

OCC has published a new review of the Thermaltake Soprano Dx Case

Do you consider yourself a PC enthusiast? Do you take pride in building your own rig and making it look as good as possible? Many of the boutique shops have been making unique style cases for a while now. Most
of these are of a color other than the beige of the first PCs. I think these PC cases are a whole lot nicer looking and many come with a window on the side. Through this window you can view all your precious hardware within the case. This becomes even more important to the enthusiasts who have the UV sensitive motherboards and exotic cooling methods on their CPUs. Today I will be taking a look at a case made by Thermaltake Technology, the Soprano DX. With its 140mm front and 120mm rear fans, e-SATA connector, windowed side panel, and sexy lines, this looks to be an outstanding product from Thermaltake. I am anxious to see more of this case. Let us take a look together.

The Killer NIC by Bigfoot Networks is a network card specifically designed for the needs of gamers. It comes with a 400 MHz RISC processor onboard that handles all network processing functions, giving the games more CPU time to use. In addition to that the processor can run small applications like a Firewall or BitTorrent client independently from the host system.

OCIA.net takes a look at the Tuniq Tower 120-LFB Heatsink in their latest review

It has very thin, tightly packed fins for high airflow situations. They are also folded down on the ends to keep the air flowing directly through the heatsink. The blackplate on the top of the cooler is attached to the blue LED fan and slides out with some encouragement, making it possible to put in a higher powered or lower noise fan. However, because it's located in the center of the unit, there's no option to add more fans or move the fan around.

CoolTechZone.com posted Shure SE210 Sound Isolating Earphones Review

We have taken a look at a number of Shure’s earphones, and they have all been excellent. Naturally, they come with a hefty price tag, but they are certainly worth it to the right demographics. To switch gears slightly, we decided to review the company’s most affordable pair today, the SE210 Sound Isolating Earphones. Set at $149.99, they are priced above average than a lot of earphones and headphones in the market, but we wouldn’t put them on the "can’t afford" list quite yet.

Computex Taipei maybe over but we're not done showing you all the cool stuff we saw at the biggest technology trade show in Asia. This year's event featured a lot of rain but that didn't put a damper on the show as Computex experienced record attendance and sales.

CoolerMaster is a well-known company and has built a strong reputation for providing quality products for the PC Industry. Most anyone who has worked on or around PCs for any length of time will be familiar with the CoolerMaster brand.

Since cooling is the main focus of CoolerMaster, its no surprise that the products they produce are made to make our PCs run with optimal cooling. Whether its air-cooled or water-cooled, they have a product to make it happen.
