Trying out the VapoChill LightSpeed [AC]:

After plugging in the power cord the blue backlight on the LCD display of the VapoChill lights up as does the blue LED on the Chill Control board. I hold the power button on my case down for one second and the VapoChill springs to life. There is a short gurgle as the compressor fires up, and then it only emits a very slight hum/buzz. The two fans are also very quiet at this point. The LCD display shows the evaporator head temperature slowly cooling to the startup temperature, and when it reaches that temperature the Chill Control board powers on my computer. I boot right into windows without any problems, then following the instructions in the manual I go to the Asetek homepage and download the latest VapoChill Control Panel software. I also downloaded the full Vapochill LightSpeed [AC] manual which details how to setup the software and install a driver for the USB connection to the Chill Control board. Next I start up the VapoChill Control Panel software and check through the multitude of features and options. The software offers every necessary bit of information and control from fan speeds and voltages to socket heater management. It also allows for customization of what is shown on the LCD display on the VapoChill. I took screenshots of each tab of the software and for more information you can visit the VapoChill Support Forum.

Dell Home - 20-30% Off Dell Inspiron Laptop Coupons! Dell Inspiron with 1.8GHz, 3GB DDR2, 250GB SATA for Only $699!
The laptop coupons from Dell Home this week are percentage off ones. That means, you save more by upgrading as opposed to the normal flat dollar off ones that they've released previously. Coupon codes for Dell Home, expiring 8/13/08 at 5:55AM CT or after a limited number of redemptions, unless otherwise specified.

  • Inspiron laptop coupons & deals:  DELL INSPIRON LAPTOP DEALS
    • 20% off a $999+ purchase, use code: 7HZ57$KKKMJJBS
    • 30% of a $1349+ purchase, use code: JDDXH7BT632VL3
      • Pick up an Inspiron 1525 laptop for just $599 - It comes with a 1.86Ghz Intel Dual-Core T2390, 2GB DDR2 SDRAM, 120GB HD, DVD+/-RW double layer burner and Vista Home Premium. What's HOT is that you can upgrade to the full 1650x1050 display for just $50! Upgrade it to $999 or more, use the coupon, and you're automatically saving more than the current promo (for this laptop is only $164 as opposed to $199 with the coupon) DELL INSPIRON 1525 LAPTOP DEAL
      • If you want a loaded Inspiron 1525, they've got one with a 1.86GHz Dual Core, 3GB of memory instead of 2, 250GB SATA hard drive instead of the 120, and everything else being the same for $699. I would upgrade the display again for just $50 to the full 1680x1050 which brings your total to just $749. But again, this is only if you don't need to customize much and you're just looking for a rocking 15.4" laptop. Upgrade this puupy beyond the $1349 and use the 30% off coupon.

Dell Small Business - Dell Vostro 200 MiniTower with 2.53GHz Core2Duo, 2GB DDR2, 250GB SATA Hard Drive, DVD+RW and 22" LCD Monitor for Only $499 with FREE Shipping
If you'd prefer a monitor over the very nice Quad Proc deal from Dell Home yesterday, this is the one to get. Thanks to a free upgrade to the 22 inch monitor, a free upgrade to the DVD burner, and a base configuration that comes with a Core 2 Duo processory, this entry level desktop really ISN'T entry level. Click on the far left option or for a bigger hard drive and more memory, the one right next to it for just $599 with the same 22 inch LCD monitor! (expires 8/13/08) DELL VOSTRO COMPUTER DEALS
