Silverstone Temjin 5 (TJ05)

Taking a mini-server style steel chassis with aluminum wave style faceplate and combining it with a glossy enthusiast finish, Silverstone offers up the best of both worlds. Featuring lots of room for expansion, an acrylic side Window, Back lit blue front LCD with fan control, and a tooless design. This extended ATX case could be the perfect gaming rig, Overclocking rig or just your clans own mini-server. It''s high quality finish and roomy interior defy you to pin it to a category.

This cooler is one of many new enthusiast products to be given the "Fatal1ty" brand.

OCZ EL DDR PC-3500 Gold GX

OCZ is a name synonymous with performance and when it comes to Memory they are also synonymous with overclockability. OCZ Technology introduces the EL PC-3500 Gold Gamer eXtreme Series as the latest addition to the Gold Series line of Memory sticks. These two 512mb DDR 433 duel channel memory sticks come with super tight timings and high end performance all under a “lifetime warranty”, even if overclocked. Looking for an upgrade? With special features like OCZ’s “Extended Voltage protection” and “Ultra Low Noise” it’s hard not to seriously think about making the next memory upgrade choice OCZ.

Fatal1ty FS-V7

In this review we will look at the Zalman Fatal1ty FS-V7 Graphics Card cooler. The Fatal1ty FS-V7 is a two slot copper cooler marketed toward gamers and PC enthusiast alike: with Red Copper fins, Anodized RAM sinks, and a Red LED fan it definitely has the bling appeal. It also comes with the ability to run on 12v in "Performance Mode" as well as a 5v "Quiet Mode" for those of you audiophiles who are gamers as well.

But does this cooler have what it takes to cool the High Clock, High Heat GPU cores out today. That''''s exactly what I intended to find out. Read along as I try out the FS-V7''''s cooling capabilities against an X1800XTPE''''s stock 2-slot cooling solution.

News: New Mouse and Battling at the Mod Shop

I'm Baaaack, well sorta. I've finally caught the modding bug again and I also seem to somehow have some time. That might once again go away now that my boys football seasons are approaching. In the mean time I have started reviewing Modding hardware again at Modders-inc.com and I've entered 3 of my rigs over at MaximumPC's online modding site the modshop.

The UTMod, Liquid Metal Cube and MKTB mods are working their way through the rounds. So make sure you stop by and check that site out, register and vote for me. Taking home the $1200 purse in the contest would definately bolster my future modding plans.

For now you can enjoy this modded Logitech G9 that I painted to match the Project13 case. I had been using the undmodded MX1000 for way too long and honestly, it was about time.
