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.

This card delivers 512mb of GDDR3 Memory running at 1.5Ghz, and the powerful R520 core clocked at 700Mhz.

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.

Hack-a-day.com features Plex Bending tutorial

Hack-a-Day.com featured my plex bending tutorial on their site. They didn't portray it in the most complimentary light but what they heck. There is no such thing as bad press right?

Besides, if I can get just one person to bend some plex, just one, even if it's not for modding, I will feel like my purpose has been fullfilled. :P

UTMod wins PCUnleash.coms Mod contest

After I first built the UTMod this was the Mod Contest I entered it into. I won a decent WCing kit. The Poseiden WCing kit to be exact. It is meant to cool shuttles and Small Form Factor type cases so it worked ok with UTMod as well. Kept my Overclocked 2400+ running at 3200+ speed at a nice 40C.

Sadly there aren't a whole lot of mods on thier site but they do have a great Product Reviews and Featured News Section. Be sure to check it out.

Bawls HotMod of the Month for March '06

The Sapphire PC cube has won the BAWLS Hot Mod of the Month for March of 2006. This is a very cool contest as BAWLS is popular with just about all modders and gamers. This is also my second time winning the Bawls HMOTM, The first time was with the infamous MKTB's mod. The coolest part about winning this time is I don't have to split the prize money with Brandon. This baby is all mine, well the prize money anyways. The case belongs to Sapphire now so they get to keep that, but the money is mine. :D

I thank BAWLS for not only making a tasty beverage but also for supporting the mod community with their contest.
