Review Snipit:
"Noctua is well known for their cooling products, especially their fans. I for one love them, they’re quiet and they work great. I always swap out the fans in a case for Noctua ones and I use a Noctua CPU cooler as well of course. Noctua has recently released a few specialized fans for uses other than inside of your PC case. The news fans vary in size and today I have the 40mm version for review, specifically it’s the NF-A4x10 FLX fans which is 40mm by a mere 10mm thick, which means it will fit in tight places easily. I wasn’t sure how exactly to review a fan like this, but then I started thinking harder about what I use in my computer and found something that I use all the time that happens to use a 40mm fan. I went about swapping the fan out and overall I’m happy with the results. Read on to learn more about the fan, and see just what I did with it… "

"Noctua recently releases several more specialized fans in various sizes and I have one of them today for review. The fan is the NF-A9x14 which is a 92mm fan but it’s only 14mm in thickness to fit into those tight spots where cooling and low noise are a priority. The fan isn’t one that would be used for enthusiast CPU cooling but it could be used for a sever or even an HTPC as it’s a fairly standard size. The fan is meant for other types of cooling really like those you might find in storage or networking solutions where you might need to replace a failing or a noisy fan. Let’s face it most stock fans aren’t exactly the greatest in terms of noise level and their ability to move air to cool properly, so it’s really in everyone’s best interest to replace them with something better overall and that’s where Noctua comes in.

What’s Up with People Asking for Free Advertising Lately?

by  • 

Lately I’ve gotten a lot of requests from people for free advertising and it’s driving me nuts. I know it’s a scam, I know what they’re doing.

I get an email saying I’ll write you a good article if you let me put a link in it back to my site or my friends site or whatever site.

Sorry I know what you’re doing, I’m not stupid, at least I don’t think I am.

Seriously if you can’t even take the time to look up my name, that’s right on the site, then I know it’s a fake scammy email attempt at free advertising.

Here’s one I just got, part of it anyway, it’s too funny:

I write posts for sites that I like free of charge and was wondering if you would like me to write you a free 500 word post.

I am trying to get our work covered on great sites and your site fits the bill. The article would be 100% unique to you and all I ask in return is that I include one of my sponsors in the post as a hyperlink. They would be totally relevant to both article and your site.

Yes, he likes my site but doesn’t even know my name…   the email just starts with: “Hi,” and that’s it.

C’mon, at least take the time to look up the owners or authors name and make it at least seem like a legit email request….

The infographics are the same way.. seriously, c’mon you want me to post your graphic linking back to whatever site.. it’s free advertising for you, no, don’t think so, but that’s for another post.

Yes another number to add to your blocked call list, and yes it’s the RNC calling again…

I am so sick of these calls.

It’s legal harassment and that’s all it is.

Seriously though, if I called someone 5, 10, 15 or 20 times a day, every day I can guarantee I’d be up on charges of harassment and be in trouble. Apparently they’re above the law, they’re allowed to harass people as much as they want without consequence.

Yeah I’ll vote for the candidate that promises me they’ll make this form of legal harassment illegal.

And yes it’s another one from the Romney supporters!

This one is from a bunch of goofballs apparently saying that Obama is ruining the sanctity of marriage and blah, blah, blah.. anti-gay anti-everything apparently… I hate people like this

Please just stop calling me and go away.

Oh I did try and call the number back and this one says that the person you’re calling is not accepting phone calls at this time.

How nice.. I wonder how I can do that for all of these political calls ?!?
