In this test, we are reviewing a graphics card from MSI. Lately we have reviewed a number of products from MSI. The card on the bench in this test is Nvidias latest release - namely the 9800GTX. The card MSI has sent us is called N9800GTX-T2D512-OC. As the name reveals, MSI has produced an overclocked version of the Nvidia 9800GTX card. We weren't impressed with the previous 9800GTX we reviewed, so it'll be exciting to see if this card handles better against the 8800 series.

The Western Digital 1 TB Caviar GP delivers a terabyte of storage capacity with low power consumption at a relatively low cost. If large, affordable storage capacity in a single drive is what you are looking for, then this is the drive you are looking for.

SilverStone is a company that needs no introduction. Although they have only been in business since 2003, in that time they have produced some great case designs. In the tradition of the Zeus and Olympia power supplies, with their single, large +12v rail, SilverStone now introduces the next generation of power supply built especially for enthusiasts, the Decathlon.

The Hiper Anubis is an incredibly sturdy chassis, which goes the "trusted and true" route. You will not find any fancy layout or interior screw-less system, but thumb screws instead. The beautifully designed front is one good reason to give the Anubis a little plaque with a unique serial number on it.

FSP has been around for more than a decade. In that time, they have built themselves up as one of the largest power conversion product purveyors in the world. Among their power products are personal computer power supplies. We recently reviewed their 700 watt FX Epsilon. Today we have a smaller FSP unit from a different line; the FSP Blue Storm II 500 watt PSU.

Today we are checking out one very nice convertible tablet notebook from Gateway called the Gateway C-141x. This notebook retails for under $1000 and has great performance as a tablet and a notebook. Overall, the Gateway C-141X is a great tablet convertible that works equally well as a tablet and as a notebook. The bargain price of the machine makes up for its general large size and heavy weight making it a great option in the sub-$1000 category.

The Diamond HD3650 1GB is not a bad card as it does support DirectX 10.1 features, meaning that you can play the latest and greatest games on the computer with full visual fidelity. The problem becomes, when price comes into play along with the performance of the card, the card just doesn't cut the mustard. Another review of this card states that at $95 USD, this card is an ok buy and I would agree with that statement. At $130 online from various sources (Newegg, ZipZoomFly etc.) the card is not a good buy as there are better choices for your money.

A Silverstone case with LED lightening in none rectangular front panel? The Kublai series is Silverstone's entry in the Gaming/Enthusiast ATX case market. Build with less expensive materials it aims to find a balance between price, looks and features. We take a look at the KL03 model in this review to see how it stacks up to the competition.

Arctic Cooling is probably most well known for CPU and VGA coolers but a few years ago they started branching out into cases. The concept behind AC's case range has always been silent but effective cooling and this philosophy also extends to the PSU?s that are bundled with each chassis. Today we are reviewing one of the newest additions to the Silentium range, the T3.

Today we are checking out a 2GB DDR3 RAM kit from Kingston's HyperX line. This RAM is a great lower cost kit that performs well and has overclocking headroom. When all the testing was finished the Kingston HyperX KHX14400D3K2/2GN kit performed well. It has some headroom left for overclocking and performs well at the programmed SPD settings. The RAM is also a bit cheaper than some other brands of enthusiast DDR3 on the market.

Sure the NVIDIA 9800 series of video cards are the current creme de la creme of gaming performance but what if you don't have the scratch to afford such a beast? Well that's where the NVIDIA 9600 series comes in. Foxconn sent u over their pre-overclocked 9600GT. As an overclocked card, it should give us a bit more kick than your standard garden variety card. Let's check it out!

Patriot has been one of the newer companies to come on board at TweakTown to supply us with their high performance memory for testing, and so far we have been pretty impressed with their line of high performance memory. Once again they have come on board to send us their new series of DDR3 modules. Today we have Patriot's Viper Fin DDR3 2GB dual channel memory kit. The sticker on one side of each memory module contains info on the modules. The kit we received was rated for speeds of 1866MHz or 933MHz core speed with timings of 8-8-8-24 at a maximum voltage of 1.9v. The modules are all RoHS which means they are manufactured with lead free solder.

Enermax has recently released two high-efficiency power supply series, MODU82+ and PRO82+. The name implies that products from these two series have efficiency of at least 82%, but Enermax says they actually have efficiency of at least 84%. Both use the same internal project, with MODU82+ models using a modular cabling system. Today we are going to take an in-depth look on the 525 W model from the PRO82+ series (also known as EPR525AWT) and see if it can really deliver its labeled power and efficiency. Read on.
