PC Power & Cooling Silencer 610 PSU Review
DV Hardware published a review of the PC Power Silencer 610W PSU.

Almost a half year ago I published a review of the PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 power supply and today I'm taking a look at the 610W model. The Silencer 610 is less expensive and features a single powerful 49A +12V line, that's 11A less than the +12V rail of the Silencer 750..

EVGA e-GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 256-P2-N761-AR Video Card Review
DragonSteelMods posted a review on the EVGA e-GeForce 8600GTS 256MB 256-P2-N761-AR Video Card

I went with these specific cards mainly because of the DDR3 that is on them, there are other cards at this price point but not many that have the DDR3 memory. I shopped around quite a bit and did a lot of research before buying them. Originally when I was upgrading my system with the EVGA motherboard I was sort of set on getting the EVGA video cards as well to make it sort of a matched set, but there were others of the same model that were cheaper and I was considering getting those, but in the end after my research I finally decided that the EVGA 8600GTS offered the best bang for the buck.

InsideHW.com posted a review on the HIS HD 3850 IceQ 3 Turbo 512MB

As usually, after the basic models all made in the same fashion as the referent one, the first cards with more exotic cooling systems begin to arrive. Not that it is an imperative with such cold weather at the moment, but an overclocker values each degree Celsius. This time, we got a graphics card from HIS, made in cooperation with ArcticCooling, the (in)famous manufacturer of different advanced cooling systems for PC components. The full name of the graphics card we present you with today is HIS HD 3850 512 MB DDR3 IceQ 3 Turbo.

Auras LPT-709 Wave Heatsink Review
PC Stats posted Auras LPT-709 Wave Heatsink Review

Looking for a light weight heatsink that's compatible with both AMD and Intel processor platforms? The Auras LPT-709 heatsink is one such cooler, and it runs fairly quietly too. The LPT-709 comes with a 92mm PWM fan that scales in speed from 800-2400RPM with compatible motherboards. At its fastest speed the fan is moderately audible. Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) compatible fans are noted by their 4-pin power connectors, and what PWM does is enable the BIOS to directly control fan speed so the PC keeps itself cool under load, yet decreases fan noise when it isn't.

Thermaltake SwordM Full Tower Case Review

Overall, the SwordM is an exciting case to work with. The thick aluminum construction is expertly manufactured and aggressive styling throughout give it a look all its own. The hydraulic-powered top and side panels will surely turn heads, even if their usefulness may be questionable. This chassis comes equipped with just about every feature imaginable and then some, so it can easily be a case that lasts through several more system builds.
