Well it’s finally here, the end of the week and also the last workday before Christmas. Our gaming news writer is coming up to the LanOC office so we can give his new build a kick ass water cooling setup tonight before we go out to celebrate a great year. I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Keep an eye on the site over the weekend though, just because it’s a holiday doesn’t mean we don’t have anything planned. Here are the reviews from our affiliates to give you something to read over the weekend.

You might call him obsessed or just a hardcore geek. Wes's obsession with gaming hardware and gadgets isn't anything new, he could be found taking things apart even as a child. When not poking around in PC's he can be found playing League of Legends, Awesomenauts, or Civilization 5 or watching a wide variety of TV shows and Movies. A car guy at heart, the same things that draw him into tweaking cars apply when building good looking fast computers.
