Thank you very much guys:) This was a long time coming, in the last weeks I had to get MS FrontPage and LEARN the program as I went ,with NO instruction, because I couldn't get the review published the way I wanted it. Its the way I want it now, LOL:toast: I have to give Steen Hansen major thanks as he assisted me with pointers using FrontPage, and also my son who tidied up the margins etc, today. Joe and Chris put up with alot of grief from me in pm's and IM's trying to teach me how to post and publish this puppy. Thanks to all indeed ! :D

OPP...I'd be happy to do up your review for you as I have in the past....and also promo it. Send it along when you are ready:)

PiLsY:) Write up your mod job..with pics...and I'll edit an article for you in the same format, publish and promo it....would be my pleasure as always.

Thru Joe and Chris I know now how to get this done(published) in web page format which will be amajor plus for us in the future:)

Just thought I'd say Randi, nice review, but the #1 spot for 4600 + AMD belongs to Silver from overclockers.com (http://service.madonion.com/compare?2k1=4595257).

Someone had to be the party pooper :P Go get them 40.xx drivers working! :banana:

Best thing is to write it in Notepad. Name your pics in numerical insertion order. As you write the guide...write insertion points where you want the pics in the final edition. Zip it altogether and email it to me. I'll rewrite it to your spec in FrontPage and insert the pics...let you review it first then we'll publish it up:)

My mistake....but I should have stated with a standard AXP and not T-bred. Still all in all..I can't complain...as he needed 2277Mhz to get around me by a mere 105 points. If I had a Ti4600 to run(Hardass just bought mine), at 2316Mhz I'd be pushing close to, if not over17,000 points.:)

No doubt, but hey, you're #1 AMD + 9700. No complaining!! :)

Yeah, one hell of a review Randi....well done. :toast:

Great reading....maybe Asetek *cough* will read it and consider coughing up a Vapo for a side/side comparison :D

Ain't had time to read it yet but wanted to say THX for the review MrIcee :)

And don't forget guy's if you go to Xtreme Tek Werkz to get one of these units to tell them you want the OPPAINTER discount, or tell them I sent you I guess:D They'll throw in some free stuff or discount or somthing:D

Excellent review my friend !!

:toast:

Just one detail, for avoid condensation problems it is better to put a lot more seal-string than I see in this photo in your review.

Also, to eliminate the "airpocket efect" is recommendable to put self-adhesive in the thermal bus.

Please see my microfreezer photo.

Hi Randi thats the best prometeia review i've seen to date and i've seen them all.... Cracking work keep it up.:D

Couple of pointers for the pages:
1. Make sure the title HTML tag for each page is set.
2. Make a drop down box to navigate between pages. This is effective if people want to rush to the end and see your overclocking results.
3. Create a Title page with the Company's URL, a basic picture, a short blurb about what your reviewing and also remember to keep you hit counters on the first page only.
4. Design a layout page, and use this. There is some horrible formatting going on there. Generally keep all tables solid 1pt lines, and keep all pictures within tables (which are 0pt).
5. Perhaps including the XS.org logo on the bottom of the page?

The review was quite informative, however, the actual page lay outs, and the way the information was arranged (As well as formating) needs some work. If you like, i could prepare an example and mail it to you? Its fairly simple :)

Sinnah,

How about we get you to put up our reviews?? The layout you described is what I would like for my reviews. Can it be done??

Sinnah:)

Thank you for the constructive thoughts:)
I was under pressure to get this thing out so alot of the little things you mentioned did not get fixed for the sake of getting it published.
1) I was aware the tags weren't right
2) It was too late for me to insert a drop down box..I had planned to insert one into my revised template
3)I had intended to use tables more extensively in the revised template for the pics etc, to help keep the formatting uniform. It's currently formatted for full screen view, previous it was formatted for a screen view with say your favorites menu open. I chose the worse of 2 evils rather than spending hours(for me) redoing the entire review.

I would entertain sending you a blank template of the review pages, and have you work you're magic on it for me. This would be very beneficial and alleviate some more of the learning curve for me. I'll drop you an email my friend:)

Randi:D

I think the hot item is to have one lay out that can be used on all the reviews, in fact I know this is what we need. We should have a guy that knows how to post it in this layout. this would be you MrIcee, once you have some kind of standard templete. I hate to admit it but I like Icrontics layout, except instead of page#s it could give the categories in the pop up box.:D http://www.icrontic.com/modules.php?op=modload&name=Reviews&file=index&req=showcontent&id=167

Mr. Icee, I will prepare a sample page of the Prometeia review for you, including the title page i described, and a page at random from the review you posted.

Might be best to PM me an email, you can host it, and ask for feedback elsewhere.

Randi,

Read the review now...very nice! If I could justify spending that kinda money on my PC, the Prometeia would be the way I'd go :D

Mr. Icee,

You have got to be one of the most articulate reviewers/posters I've come accross in the many forums I hang out. Very nice job.

Very nice review.

OPP - Xtreme Tek Werkz is not discounting or even pricematching other places (iceepc.com), but they are giving out extra seal string and a neon cathode tube. The units should have came today...but it seems like it's going to be later this week. :(
