Aeneon XTune 2GB DDR3-1600 Dual Channel Memory Kit
Review ImageThe Aeneon XTune 2GB DDR3-1600 dual channel memory kit wound up surprising me. While I didn't expect it to perform poorly, I did not anticipate that it would keep up with similar kits with tighter timings. Despite being rated for 1600MHz at 9-9-9-28 timings, it managed to perform on par with other kits with timings of 8-8-8-34 and 7-7-7-18. [link]

NZXT Tempest Mid-Tower ATX Case
Review ImageIn my assessment, NZXT's claim that the Tempest is the "Airflow King" cannot be disputed. My hardware has remained cool, with temperatures of 27C for both processor cores, 32C for the system, and 39C for the graphics card. And despite having six fans installed to keep things so cool, the Tempest is one of the quietest cases I have used. [link]

Cooler Master Z600 and Sphere CPU Coolers
Review ImageEverything is big with the Z600.... The height, width, weight, heatpipes, and even the thickness of the fins. It is capable of providing incredible cooling results when used with either one or two low speed 120mm fans. Adding higher speed fans might create some extra noise to live with, but I can imagine that the temperatures could be ridiculously low. [link]
