When it comes to computer memory, Corsair has been at the top of enthusiasts' lists of dream parts for years. One series of kit tops that list, the Corsair Dominator. With its imposing Corsair Dual-path Heat Xchange (DHX) heat sinks, it makes its presence known from the minute you see it.

We snapped a few pictures and rushed to our X58 test platform and got right down to business. We have to tell you right up front that Corsair hit this nail right on the head and delivers blazing performance with ease of use like we've never seen in a DDR3 Kit. Prepare to be amazed by the Dominator!

Today we will look at the top of the line Compact Flash card from ATP the Promax II. Established in 1991, ATP has over 17 years of experience in the design, manufacture, and support of high performance, highest quality DRAM modules and NAND flash storage products. These cards feature the fastest write transfer speeds available making them great for digital SLR camera use. In addition they have write transfer speeds of 30 MB/Sec.

When I heard that I was going to be getting the Gigabyte EP45T-Extreme I was extremely excited. It’s been quite a long time now since I’ve gotten my hands on a motherboard designed specifically for overclocking. The last one was from DFI, back when their LanParty boards were king. My past few boards have been from MSI, and although they make quality products, their BIOS options for overclocking are somewhat limited and not what I would consider designed for advanced users.

Gigabyte has one of the top reputations for engineering and producing some fantastic products throughout their entire range of components and their motherboards are no exception to this standard. With that said, I’m ready to dive neck deep into this board to see what it brings to the table and if the results I’ve seen from some of my other cohorts in crime are any indication, this board should really standup and fly.

I must admit to having something of a soft spot for highly compact ATX cases. One of my personal favourites of yesteryear was the Antec LanBoy -- a very compact and well built aluminium ATX chassis much in the vein of the PC-9 which had a lot of the features of higher specification chassis, while still being very affordable.

Sadly though, the PC-9 has been a disappointment, and it's not just the ludicrously high price that's put us off. While the all aluminium construction and solid Lian Li build quality is there, aluminium chassis from competing manufacturers like Akasa and Cooler Master have generally better built quality.

It's also very tricky to build a system into the PC-9 thanks to the diminutive chassis size, and Lian Li has made very little effort to improve the situation with no removable motherboard tray and half hearted attempts at cable routing and dust filtering. While the front accessed hot swap hard drive cage is a wonderful little feature that's been well implemented with the four SATA drive hot swap PCB, it's the only feature that comes close to setting the PC-9 apart from the competition, with average overall cooling performance from a very limited cooling setup failing to justify the extravagant price tag.

While it's obvious Lian Li has tried to keep things simple with the PC-9, it ends up feeling more like a chassis designed from a checklist rather than a well thought out product in its own right. Features like cable routing, dust filtering and an adjustable fan controller have been included but are very poorly implemented and there's little of the attention to detail that has so often made Lian Li a first choice for enthusiast cases. With the cripplingly high price only adding to its woes, the Lian Li PC-9 is a disappointing and unconvincing showing from Lian Li.

It feels like we've been talking about solid state storage as the future of the hard disk for a long time now, but 2008 finally seems to be the year when this began to turn from mere speculation to reality. Plenty of companies are now shipping SSDs at a wide variety of price points (although, of course, still not at the kind of per Gigabyte pricing levels we're used to with platter-based drives), and the rise of the netbook has seen cheap SSDs become commonplace in products such as ASUS' Eee PC and its various spin-offs from rival manufacturers. Today, we take a look at an SSD offering from Patriot, in the form of their 32GB "Warp" drive.

Deep within the realms of overclocking, you will find a lot of options for cooling your system. Nothing beats cooling your components properly than a series of fans, water, and what not (phase, ln2, etc.). Most overclockers will tend to focus more on cooling than most. For example, you won’t commonly find fans covering mosfets on your memory prom or the VR’s on the backside of your motherboard. Most of the time it’s just a heatsink or heatpipe assembly that, in turn, relies on the overclocker to keep it cool. Well, welcome to the best of both worlds, because Thermaltake (TT) has copper hat-tricks for us with their RamOrb.
