Gainward FX Powerpack Ultra/760XP 5600 Ultra Review (Retail) @ Techseekers "At the time of purchase, I was aware of the FX5600 revision and inquired as to the revision of the card / GPU, stating that the newer GPU was much faster and I didn’t want to be stuck with the old one. They told me that there was only one revision of this card, and that they had just got them in. "Foolado" me, decided to take a chance and order it. Unfortunately, they were wrong and when the card arrived it turned out to be the older 5600U core. In fact it turns out there are 2 versions of the Gainward 760XP and the newer one does have the 5600U core, and a Firewire card is bundled with it also. "Read more at Techseekers.
Corsair Hydrocool 200 @ Bjorn3d "One of the best features of Hydrocool 200 are the quick connect non-drip hoses. When detaching a hose from the main unit, very little water is lost. I was able to move the system from one room to another without losing, or worrying about losing, any of the water. This will help anyone who takes their PC with them. Whether it´s from one room to another, or to a LAN party, this system is very portable."Read more at Bjorn3D.
