Xclio A380 Color Plus @ PCSTATS
"It seems Xclio put a slightly higher importance on looks than function, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing because I still think it looks awesome. On the other hand, these problems did show in the testing. I don't really have too much to say about the wire management, as some features are there... [PCSTATS]

HIS Radeon HD 5870 iCooler V Turbo Video Card @ PCSTATS
"I love pre-overclocked cards. It's always great to get a bit more speed out of a model and not have to pay a whole lot more for it.

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R @ PCSTATS
"The Gigabyte X58A-UD3R was a beautiful motherboard that gave me no trouble at all. For the price it is being pushed at this is a great deal - especially with the USB 3.0 and SATA 3.0 support.

Thermaltake Level 10 Super Gaming Case Review @ PCSTATS
"Thermaltake has done something with the Level 10. They have shown the world that an off-the-shelf case doesn't have to be a box that looks like every other case on the market.

HIS Radeon HD 5670 Videocard Review @ PCSTATS
"The HIS Radeon HD5670 is a very capable card for the cheap price of only US$89 at your favorite online retailer.

Intel Core i7-980X @ PCSTATS
"What's interesting though is that the 980X carries the same MSRP as Intel's now deprecated flagship part - the Core i7-975. In that sense, Gulftown is sort of a bargain. It has two more cores, each being faster, they're clocked at the same 3.33 GHz and the whole thing draw... [PCSTATS]
