This is not Silverstone's first or second attempt at making a 90 degree case. They first started off with the Raven and then with the Raven 2. If you know about the successful Fortress series then you know about the style it possesses. Now visualize that you combine the two, this is where the Fortress FT02 comes in.

Most of the discussion surrounding the Radeon HD5830 video card has been about its performance relative to its two nearest neighbors in the ATI lineup. People are falling over backwards trying to get a fix on its which side of the fence the 5830 belongs: closer to the HD5770, or nearer to the HD5850. In Benchmark Reviews' recent evaluation of the HD5830, we compared it to a wide variety of video cards, including several that are not compatible with Microsoft's DirectX-11. Our DirectX-10 testing provided a level playing field for all the video cards, so we could make a fair comparison with older graphics cards that readers may currently be using, and the current models from NVIDIA that are limited to DX10. Still, gamers are itching to see how the new crop of cards would fare with DX11 enabled. So then, let's find out, shall we?

CITY OF INDUSTRY, CA – March 11, 2010 – MSI Computer, recently donated a number of MSI Wind U100 Netbooks to the Virginia Tech Music Department to help create the first ever Linux-based laptop orchestra.  The diverse group is made up of theater arts, political science, engineering, biology and math majors and called the L2Ork, in honor of the open source software used by the group.Each member of the orchestra follows directional cues and observes their “scores” on the Wind screens and plays virtual instruments with Wiimotes and nunchucks.  The students can control their instrument’s loudness, pitch, sound color, and about any other direction given by the composer.  The orchestra members are also all networked together so each member knows exactly what every other member is doing.  “We place a great value on education and understand the important role computers play in the classroom,” said Andy Tung , Director of Sales for MSI North America.  ”It was an honor to have the opportunity to help the students at Virginia Tech create their orchestra.”  The affordability of the MSI Wind netbooks and the free operating system makes laptop orchestras an affordable extracurricular activity for school age children.  This spring Virginia Tech will partner with Music Lab at the Jefferson Center in Roanoke VA to create a five-station orchestra.   Initially the new program will be open to fifth graders from local Girls’ and Boy’s clubs. MSI’s Educational Reseller Program allows schools to purchase MSI computers at a discounted price from local resellers.  MSI even offer’s a 30 day free trial period for the school to test the new notebooks and touch screen desktops to make sure the systems are a good fit with their students.

MSI's new R5870 Lightning is designed with the hardcore overclocker in mind. It comes with more PWM phases, noise free coils, voltage measurement points, an overclock out of the box and software voltage change support via Afterburner. But is that enough to satisfy the demanding enthusiast crowd?

"This motherboard can be recommended to users who upgrade rarely and have no need for the latest innovations. Consider this solution, if, upgrading, you tend to use as many older parts you already have as possible."

"The Intel I7-980x being reviewed today is one of those products coming onto the market that you know know is more of a 32nm victory lap rather than a product that is trying to leap-frog the competition. With nothing in sight that could even touch the Nehalem in terms of performance, the Gulftown adds to an impressive performance market lead that will not be superceded by anyone but themselves for some time to come."

"In the end, there is no miracle. Athlon II X2 215 is a bit faster than Celeron, but slower than Pentium. It's positioned on a par with the lowest-end Celeron anyway. Besides, it works well with DDR3 memory. Something which LGA775 processors, especially low-end, cannot boast of."

iXBT Labs Review: AMD Athlon II X2 215 Processor

"The CPUs included in the review are the Phenom 2 X2 555 BE C3, which is the highest performing dual core from the current range, as well as three CPUs from the Athlon range: X4 635, X3 440 and X2 255."
