Cooler Master CSX Shag Wagon Aluminum Chassis
Review ImageThe Stacker 830 is available in a variety of CSX custom paint jobs, many of which have similar themes involving subjects like flames, skulls, and monsters. When approached to review one of these cases, I had my heart set on something a bit different though, and was quite pleased when Cooler Master agreed to send over the red "Shag Wagon". [link]

Sapphire Toxic 512MB Radeon HD3870 Graphics Card
Review ImageThe Sapphire Toxic 512MB Radeon HD3870 graphics card offers strong performance right out of the box, but overclocking turns it into a real powerhouse.

Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 DDR2 Memory Kit
Review ImageGetting the Kingston HyperX 2GB PC2-9200 DDR2 memory kit up to the stock speed of 1150MHz was tricky only because it is an odd speed that I couldn't quite dial in with the settings found in the test system's BIOS. But getting into that general range required minimal effort, and even overclocking to well above 1200MHz was pretty much plug and play. [link]
