Bij Void your Warranty is een review verschenen over een wel heel bijzonder apparaat, de PC tachometer. Nu zul je denken, wat moet ik in hemelsnaam met een tachometer in de PC, maar met behulp van de bijgeleverde software kan hij gebruikt worden om de CPU load weer te geven. Met een prijskaartje van 59,99 dollar is de tachometer niet goedkoop, maar voor sommige mensen kan het een leuke uitbreiding van de computer zijn:
I have to admit that when I first saw this product I thought there was no way I'd ever want one. It just seemed too weird and gimmicky to me. After testing it out though I've changed my mind. I still think it's gimmicky, and I still think it's doesn't have very many practical uses. But what overcomes all that is the sheer 'coolness' of it. After I saw that needle shoot up I knew this was something I was going to have to put in my case permanently. Plus it'll be a great conversation starter at LAN parties. The only thing that might keep some people from wanting to buy this would be the price. At $59.99 it's not exactly cheap considering it's mainly for looks. I looked online though and the Sun super tach II itself cost's $57.99, so considering all the work Xoxide has done to it, I think it's a very reasonable price.
