Daily Reviews Summary 03/30/12

We review the Rosewill Hive 750 Watt PSU. There are vast differences in quality and price of course and a higher end enthusiasts PSU can cost a few hundred dollars. Many people are looking for good quality at a more reasonable price and this is where products like the Rosewill Hive series comes into play offering high power and features usually seen at higher price points.

With the Erebus GT, iBUYPOWER set out to make a slightly smaller and less expensive line of systems to complement its Erebus custom gaming series, which is now renamed the Erebus XL series. There are actually three Erebus GTs in the new line, with configurations based on the AMD FX platform starting as low as $899, but the one iBUYPOWER sent us to test is an overclocked Intel Sandy Bridge-based version, Radeon HD 7970 graphics that costs $2499 (as configured).

Yes, that's a lot of moola, but as you'll see, you get a lot of bang for those bucks...

Taking the place of the previous flagship Intel X58 + Nehalem (socket LGA1366) duo, the new Intel X79 chipset + Sandy Bridge-E (socket LGA2011) platform works to leverage the very best the original Sandy Bridge (LGA1155) had to offer in combination with a powerful quad channel memory controller.
