We wish you a happy new year 2010! Let's hope it's going to be a good year for us ... It's been a difficult end to 2009 with lots of bad luck.

I would like to say ... Thank you to all who have supported us over the years.

Cooler Master has kepped the same simplistic, but elegant design and gave it a few updates.

After a disastrous week ... and failed attempts to revive the server, CPU3D is in a non-recoverable state. It is with sadness to say that CPU3D is now no more. For those who have been following CPU3D religiously ... do not dispair as you will see later ... please read on.

It is with great humility to announce that the Funky Kit will now be the new name for CPU3D. It will be under new management with a new team of editors and contributors.

The new team and I will continue to provide all our readers the latest in news, previews and reviews of all the latest hardware from gadgets to full-on systems, including computer components, accessories and mobile computing.

Rest assured ... it is not the end ... it is, in fact a new beginning.
