While growing up I read the hell out of Daniel Rutter's site, and I've recently downloaded it all for quick access and safekeeping.
Combining IT journalism with a touch of Australian resourcefulness, it was a memorable place.
Here's my assessment of the best (and worst) parts:
Technically Strongest
CPU cooler round-up; objective measurements of thermal resistance were more than even many major sites (including Hardware Secrets) did.
The only thing really missing was a general mention of the fan models on them.
Best Aged
The DIY UPS, a small diversion in 2001, is becoming ever-more attractive given the atrocious quality of newer UPS models (as lamented many times in Behemot's output waveform database). If I don't find an old good UPS to repair in the meantime…
HDTV on the cheap (from 2002, with a set-top box outputting to a VGA monitor) may come second, given the lousy quality of modern TVs (Mum's less‑than-a-year-old LG set already has visible burn-in and the remote markings are almost completely rubbed-off) and presence of HDMI input on most modern monitors (enabling direct connection of modern game consoles, etc.), on top of the generally increasing irrelevance of broadcast TV.
And of course mechanical keyboards have become much more popular than they were in 1999, and USB charging is now the norm.
Most Epic Product Fails
Pseudoscientific products aside, the Just Cooler FA-100 fan alarm was pretty much useless at its purpose, while the TherMagic CPU Cooling System was an all‑in‑one water cooler that performed no better than an average air cooler, while loud, bulky and overpriced (even if you disregard the manufacturer's recall). (The competing Aguatec cooler was less embarrassing, but no more useful.)
Low points
Obviously the PSU “reviews” weren't much good, but that was normal at the time.
Possibly less forgivable was him joining in the apologism for IBM's Deathstar 75GXP/40GV/60GXP drives, and IBM's retroactively-claimed runtime limit on them. (It's worth noting that from 2006, HGST gave an explicit 24×7 rating in Deskstar datasheets.) Even as a kid, I was skeptical; and sure enough I got almost 40,000 hours out of my trusty ST380011A, even after spending much of its life too hot to touch (67°C peak according to S.M.A.R.T.)
Probably it still would have made it to the “full” 43,830 hours, if not for suffering several months in a very humid shed after I stopped using it…
Because guess what excuse Seagate then tried to pull when the 7200.14 (codenamed Grenada) had a similar high failure rate?
But probably his most catastrophic error of all was here, where he claimed that the power filter was arranged to block DC instead of RF (and the circuit was so obvious from the photo! )
