iXBT Labs Review: Intel Celeron E3300 Processor :: Posted by THRASHER2
"There are two angles to comment the performance of the Celeron from. On the one hand, we can see it's not that bad. It's the level of dual-core Athlon X2, not the lowest-end at that. However, from the other point of view, you can get much more in the low-end segment for a similar price."

"Earlier this month Intel rolled out their new Clarkdale processors that are built on a 32nm process and making them rather unique is that integrated on the dual-core Westmere-based part is an integrated graphics processor. The Clarkdale CPUs launched under the Core i3 and Core i5 brands (along with a Pentium version) and since their launch have received favorable reviews, well, under Windows.

Diamond Radeon HD 5750 OC Video Card Review :: Posted by THRASHER2

It also uses a third party cooler in order to reduce noise and temperatures..."

Nexus RX-5300 530W Modular Power Supply Review :: Posted by THRASHER2
"Its main feature however is how quiet it is - virtually silent. Not
only does it start out quiet it stays that way throughout the power curve.
At full output the fan just becomes audible. Throw in modular cables,
support for high-end graphic adapters, and a good assortment of peripheral
cables and you have an nice PSU for a HTPC or other quiet computing
application."
