Topower B030 Midi ATX Server Case
OC Melbourne have taken a tour of the Topower B030 midi ATX server case. Big, black and very industrial looking you'll probably either love it or hate it.

Here in all its glory, is the Topower B030 Midi ATX Server case. As we can see, its not the biggest case in the world, but after reading the rest of this review, I'm sure youll agree with me that it is more than suitable for a fileserver case, a LAN case, or even a home PC case as its black looks give it that "High Tech" feel.

Lian Li PC65B Review
Looking for a sweet black case for your latest project? Perhaps you may want to just bask in the idea of owning a Lian Li. ClubOC brings you an in-house review of one of the more legendary PC-60 series cases, the PC-65B.

The First time I saw a Lian Li case, I was enthralled with the whole "clean" look of the case. Being a car buff I have always appreciated the clean look of a nice car without a bunch of weird colors and stickers. Its nice to see someone at Lian Li have the same idea. The "clean-look" is what Lian Li is all about, and from what I can tell the execution of the final product is astonishing and just seems to get better every time Lian-Li releases a new model in their PC series.

KingMAX PC3200 DDR400 Memory Review
PCStats Check out a stick of KingMAX PC3200 and find that even their unique BGA packaging isn't enough to make it a sensible choice.

KingMAX distinguish themselves from other manufacturers by using BGA DRAM on their memory modules. They little BGA chips look different, and can actually help the silicon run a little cooler then regular TSOP-II based memory. This stick of KingMAX DDR400 DRAM comes equipped with 5ns DRAM timing which suggests it should be able to do 200 MHz FSB (1000 MHz / 5 =200 MHz).

RADEON 9700 PRO Review
AMDWORLD offer their thoughts on ATi's flagship Radeon 9700 Pro.

ATI spent much of the last two years in the background perhaps quietly perfecting the R300 engine which is now recognized as R9700 in the retail channels, whilst much talk and speculation amounts of the forthcoming NVIDIA NV30 engine which is unlikely to find itself widely available in the retail market until early 2003. What ATI can now boast is power, performance and quality perhaps everything you could ask for, however it is not cheap but it is price structured to compete with the current NVIDIA TI-4600 series of cards albeit slightly higher due to recent price deductions seen on the NVIDIA TI family.
