Have you ever hear about 迅雷 (XunLei) Thunder 5? It is new to me last month. 迅雷 (XunLei) Thunder 5 is a download manager. Besides download normal http or ftp files, it can be used to download BitTorrent and Emule pear to pear (p2p) files type too. I tested 迅雷 (XunLei) Thunder 5 for several weeks after recommended by my friend. In short, the download speed is never the same as before. It is really fast. But it is an ad-ware. 😛

There are 2 motherboards in my mind to choose from… ASUS P5Q PRO and GIGABYTE EP45-DS3. I have few must have features in my selected motherboard. First thing is ATI CrossFireX support. I want the ability to add on another display card to improve 3D processing performance in the future. I don’t want to “throw away” the existing card and buy a new one. I seldom upgrade my hardware unless it is a must. I add on usually.
Finally, I got a keyboard for my new dream computer system. It is PROLiNK PKM3803 Multimedia Keyboard. And here is the review of it. Most people don’t care much about keyboard. As long as they can type, they are fine. I prefer a quiet, comfortable keyboard. I am a blogger and I need to type quite a lot. And I use it to play extreme games type like FPS and RTS. However, I don’t want to pay too much on a keyboard. A simple yet nice keyboard will be fine for me. Therefore, I selected PROLiNK PKM3803 Multimedia Keyboard.
SpeedFan is a freeware program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and temperatures in your computer. It is a great tool for overclocker like me. You can monitor your CPU cores temperature and CPU fan speed too. Its main features are monitor fan speed. However, it does not end here. It has other useful features like access S.M.A.R.T. info on hard disk, change the FSB on some hardware and control fan speed. It can be used on Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003, XP and Windows Vista. It works with Windows 64 bit too.

A good chassis is a must have for overclocking system. Therefore, I selected Cooler Master CM 690 (RC-690) chassis as the one. It is a mid tower. I don’t need a full tower as I don’t have much stuff to put in there. Cooler Master CM 690 mid tower has enough space for me.
