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.

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.

Little Window Detail

 

I basically built a little window and cracked a piece of the acrylic around where the little teddy "shot" through it. Then lit it from side with a couple of Red LED's.

This will look a lot better when I get the rest of the Lighting.

Fan Grills.

I decided that the grill that came on the front just wasn't doing it. So we created on from a Teddys head. I created two similar ones. I couldn't decide which one I like more so I put one on the back. This way we can swap out whenever we feel the need.

Here they are cut and ready to go. Concensus around work is the one on the right is best.

Installation of Lights and Lightbus

Well, I installed 2 Blue Metorlights on the top, 2 White CCFL's behind the MB side art, A red Thunder CCFL in the center bottom, 4 Red LED case feet, 2 Red LED pads around the Bear in the window, and 2 more on either side of the MB side case art. I then hooked up everything except the lighted feet and the Meteor lights to the Lightbus. This is all without any hardware yet which will be installed on monday when Brandon brings his computer into work

.

This is with all the lighting on and turned up all the way. The Lightbus has a dimmer on it along with a ton of other features. So I can make each light as bright or Dim as I so desire. Here is a series of pics showing the dimming of the MB side art.

The LightBus has up to 627 effects on it according to the box. Its really quite insane. I did a review of it and will have it posted on the CaseModGod main site. To read it click here.

I will need to do a little tweaking here and there and will have to find a way to difuse the white CCFL's so they don't show as light bars. so stay tuned.
