PC Stats has posted a review on the ProLink PixelView GF2MX Twin video card.

Where the PixelView GeForce2 MX Twin really shines is with its dual display! Well sort of, the the second header is a DVI connector which is good for LCD monitors, however CRT's still use the regular 15 pin analog connector. The absence of a DVI to analog converter doesn't help much and since it's almost impossible to buy a 3rd party one it kind of defeats the purpose of having dual display. The maximum resolution the card is capable of is 2048x1536 @75Hz but it supports independent resolutions and refresh rates should you have different sized displays. Twin view supports multi-display, zoom and clone functionalities. I was quite pleased to see thermal material between the MX400 GPU and the heatsink/fan. As for overclocking, I was able to hit 241/245 which isn't a bad overclock from the stock 200/183 MHz. Yes, I said 183 MHz ram speed, that's already 17 MHz higher then most other MX400's! IF the card were mine though, I probably would have added ramsinks and clock the memory a little higher.

ABit BL7-RAID Review
It is hard to see in this picture but above the reset button, four of those things that look like resistors are actually tiny LED's. From top to button they are Power, Stand by, HDD, and Reset. I am not sure why you need a Reset LED, but the having the power LED and even more so the HDD LED onboard is very convenient when testing a motherboard without a case. Abit has also included a small PC Speaker on board which you can see just above the dipswitches in the picture above. Abit has put the entire functionality (except for holding stuff) right onto the motherboard.

Alpha PAL 8045T Review
I can't stress enough, to use extreme caution when installing this HSF. If you thought installing a clip based HSF, with a screw driver that could slip at any moment was scary. Just picture crushing your Athlon XP core like a 57 Chevy in a car crusher. So be very careful. Oh yeah, since your going to be handling your motherboard make sure you're grounded. Some surgical gloves might also be a good idea due human body oils and electronics don't always get along.
