Xtreme Resources takes a look at the newest offering in computer case solutions from Cooler Master, the Praetorian 730.

Cooler Master has introduced the 730 series of aluminum alloy cases into the marketplace for enthusiasts. As the successor to the successful Wave Master case design, an improved air flow design implemented the use of 2 vertically stacked 80mm exhaust fans just underneath the power supply. Cooler Master used a very thick curved door o­n the front of this stylishly designed case, which hides four 5.25 inch drive bays, with two external 3.25 inch bays, and 4 internal 3.25 inch bays just below. An LED lit 120mm front case fan sits at the bottom of the case, allowing ample air flow to cruise over as many as 4 hard drives which will fit into the space allowed.

GotApex starts off the week with a look at the Budget Gaming with the PowerColor X800GT.

The X800GT performs very well for a $160 card. It delivers solid performance when using 4x Aniso and 4x Anti at 1280x1024 and below, but anything over that will get you choppier video. Once you get to higher resolutions the card really shows it's lack of pipeline power by showing an even larger % dropoff than the GTO cards. Doom3 really shows some of this weakness as does Futuremark and FarCry, but UT2004 and HL2 are a bit more forgiving.

Once overclocked to 510/510 you get a decent 8% or so boost which is respectable for the money. With an R480 core you'd get a much larger OC but you would also pay for it.
