EVGA teamed up with Swiftech to deliver a water cooling solution for the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 470 ‘For The Win’ edition video card that makes it hard to ignore.

The Choiix Power Fort is a very handy device, and with seemingly infinite battery life as a flashlight (70 hours per charge, and 500 charges before it only charges up to ~85% means about 35,000 hours of flashlight time) it is simply a great buy. Even at its steep $49.99 price tag for the standard models I have to say the Choiix Power Fort is well worth the money, and if you travel frequently I would have to consider it a necessity.
The ECS Black GeForce GTS 450 1GB PCI Express 2.0 video card comes with 192 CUDA cores that are factory overclocked to 850MHz on the core clock, which is a nice boot from the 783MHz used on the NVIDIA reference design.

In our previous Apple TV article, we un-boxed the A-TV and detailed what you would need to do to get your media files to play.
