Hardware Roundup for Dec. 28

There’s a fair amount going on today, so you have a lot of reading to do. Both Pro-Clockers and Big Bruin are taking a look at the cool looking Blue Orb II from Thermaltake. It’s pretty beefy, but if you insist on air, it’s a good choice. 3D Gameman is taking a look at the PC4000 2GB Plat kit from Corsair, which was my personal favorite memory over the past year. It gives you plenty of breathing room in both bandwidth and overclockability.
