series of give aways here, and to kick things off the prize up
for grabs is a 2048MB Sapphire Radeon HD4850X2 video card that
has been updated with a hard to find BIOS for extreme noise
reduction. In order to enter you must be a member of the
Bigbruin.com forum and contribute 20 posts between March 30,
2009 and April 30, 2009... [link]

Caviar Green 2TB Hard Drive
 Western
Digital is one of the big names in hard drives, and one of
their latest releases puts a much stronger emphasis on the
word big. Model number WD20EADS is a 3.5" SATA 3Gbps hard
drive from their "eco-friendly" Caviar Green series that
sports 32MB of cache memory and an industry leading 2TB of
storage capacity. [link]

Hyper N520 CPU Cooler
Overall, the cooler seems to be well made and so far the
design intrigues me. The more compact size might be good for
HTPCs or other computers with side panel fans that interfere
with larger heatpipe towers. I just hope that the two
'smaller' fans can compete with the noise level and cooling
performance of a 120mm unit. [link]
Chieftec HM-01B HTPC Case
Installing a system in the Chieftec HM-01B HTPC case was
extremely simple, and the tool-less drive features may be the
best I have ever used. Unfortunately not all aspects of the
installation are tool-less, but it went quickly anyway. The
internal layout gives you plenty of room for all the necessary
components, with means to manage the wires neatly. [link]
