Rating: 9/10 | eVGA e-GeForce 6800 ULTRA, 256MB DDR3 | The e-GeForce 6800 Ultra really shines when you look at its performance in our standard suite of benchmarks |
Rating: 9/10 | Planar PL201M | The Planar also had extremely consistent backlighting (even better than the ViewSonic), and its 0.255mm pixel pitch makes for a very crisp 1600x1200 desktop. |
Rating: 9/10 | Cooler Master Centurion CAC-T01 | ...as a carrier of the CoolerMaster banner, it stands out as a huge disappointment. |
Rating: 9/10 | Antec LANBOY ATX Case | Unfortunately, the LANBOY’s weight-saving design entails giving up the sturdiness of a hefty steel case. |
Rating: 9/10 | Thermaltake Xaser III V2000A Super Tower | Design may appear tawdry to some, enough fans to drive Steve Jobs insane. |
Rating: 8/10 | Lian Li PC-6070 / PC-6070B | In short, this enclosure is far from ideal for overclocking. Also, at $200, the case doesn’t jibe with Lian-Li’s low pricing tradition... |
Rating: 8/10 | NEC LCD3000 | The LCD3000 is probably intended for corporate conference rooms and high-rise loft apartments, where people gather 'round the old LCD campfire, five heads at a time. |
Rating: 9/10 | Viewsonic VP230mb | This is a very impressive panel—just a few hairs short of a pro-level CRT. |
Rating: 8/10 | Maxtor MaXLine Plus II ATA 250GB 8MB (7Y250J0) | If running a quiet PC is your top priority, however, this drive’s fluid-bearing motors make it one of the most peaceful we’ve recently sampled. |
Rating: 9/10 | Hitachi Deskstar 7K250 | Despite this litigious backdrop, the 7K250 still makes a compelling argument in favor of the Deskstar line. |
Rating: 8/10 | Seagate Barracuda 7200.7 SATA (ST3160023AS) | Overall the Barracuda is a solid performer across the board. The only thing we can really complain about is its warranty. |
Rating: 9/10 | WD Caviar SE 200GB EIDE (WD2000JB) | ...the time-tested Western Digital 2000JB will make you feel safe. |
Rating: 7/10 | WD Caviar SE SATA 250GB (WD2500JD) | Western Digital isn’t totally out of the woodshed, though—the Caviar is possibly the loudest drive in the roundup and has the highest access times to boot. |
Rating: 9/10 | FIC A98P | Despite a 10MHz slower memory clock, this board manages to perform in the benchmark department. |
Rating: 7/10 | BFG Asylum GeForce FX 5800 Ultra | The real problem with this card isn’t performance or image quality, It’s availability |
Rating: 9/10 | Shuttle SN45G | Overall, the Shuttle SN45G is a beautiful piece of work, bringing mini-system salvation to Athlon lovers. |
Rating: 9/10 | Shuttle SB51G | If you’re strapped for space or in the market for portability, the Shuttle SB51G bare-bones kit is a winner. |
Rating: 6/10 | SOYO SY-KT400 DRAGON Ultra | Slowest memory performance of the bunch. Lacks FireWire support. And it’s not an nForce2 board. |
Rating: 6/10 | DFI LANPARTY KT400A | No matter how you cut it, the KT400A in production trim falls flat. |
Rating: 8/10 | DFI LANPARTY PRO875 | We just can’t forgive the lack of FireWire support, which is requisite in any enthusiast-level board. All in all, the DFI is just a good board in a tough field of competitors. |
Rating: 9/10 | MSI K7N2 Delta-ILSR (MS-6570) | Sexy PCB and dual-channel memory. Six-layer design is good for bragging rights. |
Rating: 9/10 | ASUS A7N8X Deluxe | Pricier than the competition and confusing memory configurations. |
Rating: 9/10 | ASUS P4C800 Deluxe | As visually exciting as a Chevy Citation, sparse on audio jacks, suffers some design quirks. |
