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.

Day before Ship out date I get the last missing pieces.
The Zalman CPU cooler and 1G of Corsair XMS memory.



Out with the stock cooler in with the Zalman

Here are some close ups of the X800XL 512mb Video card


It worked flawlessly while I had it.  I downloaded the HL2 demo and
played it with everything on the  highest settings with zero problems.


With that said the Demo PC was as done as she was going to get in the time I had.
I was really hoping to get ahold of the Blizzard card
 and add some white LEDs and do the same with the Zalman cooler.
Giving them an "Icy" look to match the theme.
but alas... parting is such sweet sorrow.

Even after such a short amount of time with it.  Letting go and shipping out the compy is hard.
There is always a piece of you that doesn't want to see "Your Baby" go.
Then the is that other part that doesn't want some randome UPS guy
putting his mitts all over her.


I know she will have a good life "On tour" with the Sapphire Reps.
