Razer is one company that's been in this business for quite some time. They've been making gaming mice for several years; in fact, their entire product line is geared towards gaming, making them far from the typical bandwagon-hopping company. Many gamers are using, or have used one of their products, giving Razer a solid following. However, with the increasing competition from other manufacturers, Razer has responded with their latest weapon - the Lachesis Gaming Mouse. Sporting an astounding 4000 DPI laser sensor and an atypical symmetric/ambidextrous design, the Lachesis seems poised to take the leadership in the gaming mouse arena. Let's see if it lives up to the Razer brand name.

The Coolink Silentator is truly one of the best coolers I have come across. Many different companies sell a lot of different coolers, but this one is an exception. Because of its slick design and silent operation, it is not only a perfect solution for extreme cooling, but also an excellent silent setup for today's computer systems. This cooler is a must have for any PC user from just normal PC use, Gaming, or even for Extreme Overclockers.

Thermaltake still makes some very good after market coolers and while they no longer wear the crown of king of the coolers� they are still recognized as an industry leader. The subject of today's review is one of Thermaltake's Thermal Maximum Grade CPU heatsinks called the A1. This cooler is designed to fit most of AMD's socket cpu's, whether they be the older socket 754, the venerable 939 or even the newer AM2 and the newest AM2+ CPUs.

Armed with four 2GB kits of DDR3 memory running at 1800MHz we set off to do our second DDR3 roundup to show those that are building a DDR3 powered enthusiast systems which modules stand out from the crowd. Corsair Memory, Kingston Technology, OCZ Technology and Super Talent all sent out 2GB kits for us to try out and that is exactly what we did using the latest Intel QX9770 processor on the Intel X38 Express powered ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Motherboard!

The Ikari is one of the best mice I've ever had a chance to look at – and because drinking tea at your desk is a constant hazard for me, I've looked at more than my fair share of mice. It ranks up there with the Logitech G5 and the Razer DeathAdder.

It has two problems though – specifically and only two. First, the enforced ergonomics on it mean that it won't be suitable for all hands and grip types, so you'll definitely want to go hands-on with a demo model before you buy it. Secondly, the two thumb buttons are a tad too small for my taste. Occasionally your thumb will have to search for the right place to push.

Despite that though, the Ikari is still easy to wield and will suit most gamers down to a tee without forcing you to pay through the nose for features you'll never use. If you're / /really bothered by how heavy your mouse is then you may want to look elsewhere, but if you're man enough to admit that you don't really mind then the Ikari is the mouse for you.

The Cooler Master surprised me with number of PCI-Express leads! There is a total of six 6-pin and three 8-pin connectors. Why so many you might ask? While Real Power Pro 1250W definitely has more PCI-Express connectors than you could possibly use, you should be prepared for 3-Way SLI or whatever is new NVIDIA or AMD currently cooking!
