Hardware Roundup for Mar. 6

There are a lot of computer case reviews up today for your viewing pleasure. If you are looking for a case that offers BTX support, check out TweakPC for their look at Thermaltakes latest offering. Pro-Clockers takes a look at the latest offering from Ultra, which is a fantastic case overall and looks great. If you are interested in paying a lot for your server CPU, check out GamePC’s review of the 285 Opteron. XYZ Computing is taking a look at the top ATI offering available, the X1900XTX 512MB. It doesn’t overclock extremely well, but who reallys needs to overclock such a massive card? ;)
