Hyper TX3 (fan bracket version) by ocia.net : February 2010

From a general usage perspective, the Hyper TX3 is fantastic. Installation is a breeze (as it should be) and should not require any type of motherboard removal. Also, the plastic fan clip design is convenient and sturdy. It is also a bonus that Cooler Master includes extra fan clips instead of making you buy them. Although the fan is rated at 35dBA, it does not run noticeably louder than any other cooler I have used.

For around $20 online, the Cooler Master Hyper TX3 is a solid mainstream cooling solution. If you're putting together a new rig and want a cheap way to get comfortably stable temperatures, the Hyper TX3 is definitely a good option. For its value and ease of use, the TX3 earns the OCIA.net Silver Seal of Approval.

ATCS 840 by techwarelabs.com : February 2010

CoolerMaster’s ATCS 840 is an amazing case. I would highly recommend this case as long as you have the floor/desk space for it. Once all the internals are inside you wont enjoy toting it around as it is quite literally an armful (or in my case a giant bear hug). The spacious interior allows for ample room for you to work inside and have the new latest and greatest pieces of hardware.

Hyper 212 Plus by overclockersonline.net : February 2010

Whenever I see a product that uses the same name but has a 'plus' or a 'II' used, I usually assume there are some minor changes made to the original. This really isn't the case with the Hyper 212 Plus, as the changes made are rather substantial. Performance of the Hyper 212 Plus is quite impressive and I think a lot of it has to do with the Direct Contact heatpipes and the ability out of the box to add an additional fan should satisfy enthusiasts as well. Add in the fact that a universal mounting system supports all of the latest sockets from both camps and can be currently found for around $40 US makes the Hyper 212 Plus look even better.

When I received the Hyper 212 Plus I really was not all that enthused due to its rather uninspiring packaging and rather plain looks. Those feelings quickly disappeared once the Hyper 212 Plus was installed and I saw its performance. If you are looking at getting great cooling at a low cost the Hyper 212 Plus is well worth a look.
