Mushkin has always been known for making quality products, and as far as I am aware of, have pretty much stayed to the RAM market. But I must admit, I was happy to think of a PSU coming from Mushkin, cause I hope it’s up to the usual quality I have come use to over the years from some of their other products I have used.
It would be safe to reccomend this board for both benching and gaming. Stability is one of this boards stong points. Knowing the board hits so high on 1066 strap makes this board very strong in bandwidth at top speed.
Mountain Mods has designed this case to be about the easiest case to work with on the market. If you can not lay out a killer water loop with this design then you better just hang up your PC building career and go buy a plain old stock dell computer.

Supermicro X7DWA-N
Quality and performance in one package
Reviewer: Dave Hunt ~ Movieman
I had the opportunity to spend some time testing and evaluating this motherboard with 2 sets of cpu’s and two types of memory.
First was with 2-X5482 Harpertowns(3200/12mb/1600) with 4x2 gig of Transcend DDR2-800FBDimms and later on with 2-E5450 Harpertowns(3000/12mb/1333)
This EATX board is built using the newest 5400 Seaburg chipset with 1600FSB support built in.

Cooler Master does not disappoint the consumer and lives up to their name as being a leader in providing excellent chassis and cooling solutions from mild to wild and beyond. Their products include extra features, which consumers can see. Like any good company, they let the product speak for itself.

Review of Sigma's Unicorn Mid-Tower Case
The Sigma Unicorn is a mid-tower case targeted more at the budget minded builder. At $100 dollars for this case it is cheap when the features are included the picture.
This case is made out of SCC steel and weighed 40 lbs shipped.
The Unicorn came shipped in plain brown box to protect the retail box.

Sigma SP-700 ATX POWER SUPPLY
Here is how it came packaged.
It arrived in perfect condition. Although it only had a piece of Styrofoam on top and small cardboard boxes keeping it snug, nothing was damaged in any way.

Sonar 5.1 Review
The Cyber Snipa Sonar 5.1 surround Sound headphones are one of the newest tools used to enhance any (and every) gamers experience. With all the new 5.1 headsets out there it’s hard to decide which is best for you. So let’s start by looking at the package this theater system comes in.

Cyber Snipa
Stinger Mouse
Packaging
This mouse came packaged correctly. When taken out of the box, the mouse looked like the typical store bought product. It was in the plastic sealed box. Once I cut the plastic apart, I was able to extract all of the goods inside of it.

Koolance Liquid Cooling System
Koolance has been pioneering water cooling products for the enthusiasts for the last eight years. Koolance may very well be one of the first corporations to offer production water cooling components to the world. Before that, modders had to make their own custom blocks and search far and wide for any parts that would complete a water cooled system. Koolance took a lot of the guess work out, making it easier for the average user to get into water cooling. Koolance's quality and innovations have come a long way since their first release of products. For this review, we take Koolance's top performing components and try to bring the system to a crawl.

Cooler Master Cosmos S is a chassis I would believe to be heavily geared towards expert gamers and enthusiast gamers alike. As you will see in this review, there is a lot of potential for this case. From outside the case, it has a semi-carbon fiber look. Mesh style pattern on top, left panel and front bays. The chassis is made out of aluminum, but I would say the case feels more like steel. The handles at the top and bottom of the case are extremely useful, especially when moving the case. The case weighed in at 38lbs when it was shipped. When I got everything installed, the case easily weighed around 55lbs. So these handles at the top made it very easy to lift the case into small spaces.

The time has finally come for some LANParty LT X38-T2R action. I know that many of us here at XS.org have been waiting for the release of this high-end DDR2 compatible motherboard. And, I’m sure that the performance expectations are very high.
XS Forum member windwithme posted a short review at the XS Forums, testing the overclocking potential of the board, using two different Core 2 Extreme CPUs and cooling the whole setup with air.
To read and view how far he could push the LT X38-T2R, just jump right over to windwithme's thread at the XS Forums.

Remember back in June when the British Board of Film Classification (BBFC) banned the upcoming Manhunt 2 game release from Rockstar Games in the UK? And, following the ban, Rockstar Games’ lodging of a plea with the Video Appeals Committee (VAC) in late July, to make the BBFC reconsider its decision?
Well, today (Wedensday) Rockstar Games won the right to appeal the BBFC ban on Manhunt 2. Feeling quite comfortable with the appeal granted by the VAC, Rockstar is expecting an 18+ rating for the game, making it legally available to gamers in the UK.

As many of you know, the guys and gals over at HKEPC are great at digging out info on upcoming hardware.
