Triplett Line Tester:

Have you ever wanted to test your lines (phone, CAT5/6) to see if there are any faults? There are inexpensive tools that are available to test for those faults. Phoronix has a look at just one of these units. The Triplette Line-Bug 4 performed well during every test and detected abnormalities in some of the known lines with issues. The unit is inexpensive, requires no batteries, and it works. Check out the full review.

In this article for the weekend, we'll be taking a look at the Triplett Line-Bug 4 Phone/LAN Tester. This tester is designed to test any phone jack (RJ-11) or LAN jack (RJ-45).

ThermalRight SI-97:

[HW]Zone reviews the ThermalRight SI-97 CPU cooler. We are all well aware of how well designed, and efficient their coolers are, and this is no exception. The size might be your only issue during installation.

ThermalRight is one of the most known and respected companies in the field of air cooling, thanks to its many excellent products that display cooling performance almost on par with water cooling systems.

In the past few years, ThermalRight has released several successful series of coolers, some based on copper, some on aluminium and some combined both - the guiding purpose was to find the combination that would provide the best results.
