Silverstone Temjin 5 (TJ05)

The Silverstone Temjin 5 is a hybrid combination of form and function. 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.

Zalman Fatal1ty FS-C77

Zalman expands its line of fine copper flower coolers into the gaming and modding arena with the "Fatal1ty" FS-C77 cooler. This cooler is one of many new enthusiast products to be given the "Fatal1ty" brand. The FS-C77 is geared towards gamers and hardware enthusiast who want not only the fastest running but the coolest looking computers to show off at LAN events. Though there are many after market products out there that do this, Jonathan "Fatal1ty" Wendel is really the first person to move into this market with name recognition and a wide array of products under his brand. But don''t let the branding and the flashy colors fool you, this cooler can perform. Read on to see how well it does against a stock FX-55 cooler and another high end copper after market cooler.

Sapphire X1800XT Performance Edition

Sapphire burst into the high end graphics arena with both barrells blazing with their X1800XT "Performance Edition". This card delivers 512mb of GDDR3 Memory running at 1.5Ghz, and the powerful R520 core clocked at 700Mhz. This 2 slot high end PCI-E graphics card utilizes Shader Model3.0, HDR, and adaptive AA, allowing you to have unparralled Image Quality along side High Performance. If that wasn''t enough Sapphire includes a great bundle, "Avivo" Technology, and support for digital and analog displays, including HDTV.

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: TOURNAMENT WINNER!!

After several grueling weeks over at the modshop I managed to battle my way through many world class rigs to go Mano e Mano with the wolverine. It was a tough battle but in the end there can be only one. Luckily today that was me! I'm so glad that I won and I owe a lot of my thanks to my many friends over at Modders-inc and The Austin Modders. I am hoping to use the prize money to start on a new and awesome project.

Kudos to the wolverine. He is an awesome modder and has many great rigs to his name. It could have easily gone either way.

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.

News: Neat-O-Rama creates ''Ultimate'' Mod list

The Website: Neat-O-Rama.com Has created the "Ultimate" Mod list. It is a very extensive and impressive list of mods all divided into neat little categories like food, animals, movies, etc. Most of the mods on the list are brilliant. Some look out of place and others that should be on there are missing. All that aside it is a great list.

Of course the coolest part of the list is that it includes THREE!! of my mods!! My Martini, UTMod can Casket mod were kindly included in the list. How cool is that! I really appreciate that they feel that my mods are an "Ultimate" achievement in the world of modding.

If you feel like there are some mods that should be on the list be sure and let them know .

News: Greetings from Cebit Germany.

Cathy from Sapphire Inc. kindly sent a pic of the Sapphire cube at Cebit in Germany. That little cube seems to be gettting a lot of milage on it. I am glad they like it so much.

I feel sorry for those german models, they just pale in comparison to the beauty of the case.
