With the ever increasing sizes of our computer components, we find ourselves trying to find that perfect chassis that can house our most prized components. Cooler Master has come up with a solution to help with our ever increasing 'larger' needs, by bringing back an old time favorite amongst us enthusists. It incorporates many new features that are needed by today's standards of cooling. Simply put, this chassis is huge. It can house some of the biggest computer components available, anything from large motherboards and long video cards, to extremely large air coolers, or for those of us who choose to do so, it can easily accommodate water cooling setups.

I bring you the Cooler Mater ATCS 840 chassis. Let's turn the page over and see what Cooler Master has in store for us. Warning: Objects Will Appear Smaller than they are when using this chassis.

Lexar JumpDrive Solo Vault 4gb USB Drive Review
TestFreaks has posted a review on the Lexar JumpDrive Solo Vault 4gb USB Drive

Lexar has sent me over the JumpDrive Solo Vault 4gb USB drive, it's an enterprise class device that features military grade security, AES 256 bit encryption that is FIPS 140-2 Level 1 certified, metal casing and everything is onboard the drive itself. Of course if that's not enough, it's fast, very fast, coming in a close second to the fastest drive I've got on hand, the OCZ Rally2 Turbo.

Gigabyte's GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard
bit-tech published a review of Gigabyte's GA-EP45-UD3R motherboard

We've had a far better experience with this board than we have had with the DS3R - it feels more stable, more reliable, it looks better and for £100 it's good value too. It's not the most feature rich P45 on the market - it's missing dual LAN and CrossFire - but not everyone wants those, and there are lots of different P45s on the market to cater for every possible whim. It still has a very useful eight SATA, great audio, a superb BIOS and plenty of PCI and PCI-Express for expansion - all these are genuinely useful additions and not marketing gimmicks or "nice idea, probably won't ever use" like Asus' Express Gate.

Does the extra ounce of copper make that much of a difference? It's very difficult to say - simple BIOS evolution, the redesigned layout or simply updated hardware could afford the improvements on their own, so it's hard to quantify the difference. At worst though, it's a marketing gimmick that Gigabyte loves to throw onto its "Ultra Durable" branding and it doesn't seem to cost any more.

The very good quad core overclock that does notably better than the DS3R, but dual core overclocking still matches and can't break that 500MHz barrier others clearly have done. If you're after a cheap, extreme overclocking board, check elsewhere, but for most of us this board should achieve an acceptable, stable overclock with any Core 2 CPU.

Since the DS3R now retails for almost an identical price to this and it was between the two - we'd get the UD3R every time: it's better cooled, better performing in our benchmarks and lower power. It doesn't achieve excellence but we'd certainly recommend it for those needing a solid P45 purchase.
