I'll be posting that case review today. Seriously. I already beat Psi-Ops.

Asus A7N8X-E @ Hexus.

Quote

Like their recent FX 5950 Ultra graphics card, it's underwhelming. The window of opportunity to make A7N8X-E great was missed by a mile, maybe ASUS were asleep. You can tell their focus is elsewhere, is that maybe a sign that yours should be too?


Athlon 939s @ Gurureview.

Quote

Going by AMD's performance ratings, Socket 939 Athlon 64s are faster than their Socket 754 counterparts at the same clock speed. For example a Socket 754 2.4GHz A64 with 1mb cache is a 3700+, a Socket 939 2.4GHz A64 with 512kb L2 cache is a 3800+. Basically, AMD think that the benefits provided by the dual channel memory controller out weigh the negatives from having less L2 cache. This is the second reason why AMD have gone for the smaller cache dual channel A64s.


Corsair PC3200XL @ FLHW.

Quote

The XL memory uses Samsung's TCCD chips, which are actually DDR500 chips, but Corsair has built them on the PCB marked 3200XL, and designed to run at 400Mhz with 5-2-2-2 timings. They only come in 1GB kits, with or without the "Pro" series of LED light indicators. Read on to find out more about this awesome RAM.


Chenming case @ Pimprig, Gigabyte DVD Burner @ PCstats, Xtrac Hammer @ HTR, Diabolic case @ RBMods, DangerDen vs CoolCase blocks @ Madshrimps, TT River 3.5" removable @ TT, SilenX PSU @ HITR, Mad Dog 7.1 DSP @ PCStats.
