Koolance Water Cooling Kit
VL writes "Overall, Koolance has a very impressive kit in the PC3-720 and is definitely worth considering if you're interested in an easy to use water-cooling setup. Performance is very good, and the case aesthetics are top notch in our opinion. Pricing is something we do have a problem with. Aluminum case aside, this is an expensive setup."
more expensive than other choices, and doesn't work as well. It's not even a good advertisement. But I wouldn't know that unless I RTFA, so I guess mission accomplished huh?
Imagine a Slashdot Effect on a physical location like a single store. Good thing walking places isn't as convenient as clicking hyperlinks.
"Damnit, Bob's Hardware imploded from the gravity off too many Slashdot users visiting at once."
Sam ty sig.
It's a joke. Laugh.
Seriously though. People bitch when there are stories that aren't considered "News for nerds enough". Then whenever there is a review of something that is what a lot of people would consider "nerdy enough", people bitch because it could be seen as free advertisment for a product. Well, duh. It's rather hard to point out a product that does X without telling people about it, and who makes it. And if it's a review you've linked to, God forbid, they might actually post their thoughts on it. And if those thoughts are positive, *gasp* it might be construed as some kind of endorsement.
Is Slashdot now only supposed to be "News for nerds, stuff that matters if it's free and people can't make money off it"? Because, ya know, the last time I looked, some people were making money off of Slashdot itself.....

Clearly you've never been to an Apple store grand opening...
"2- Post comments about COMPETITOR PRODUCTS, and alternative solutions. Spread focus.
3- Contribute replies to such posts made by others, i.e. keep discussing alternatives but try to avoid the advertiser."
Uh, no. The whole point of these articles are to generate interest. Your idea about not clicking the link is dead on the money, but posting more replies simply allows Slashdot to go back to the advertiser and say "Look at all the discussion for your post!" Chances are the advertiser won't read the comments anywy.
