HIS IceQ Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H567Q1GD
HIS IceQ Radeon HD 5670 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 CrossFireX Support Graphics Card H567Q1GD

Pros: From the newegg images, this card looks a little cheesy. However, who can resist a deal like this one, $69 bucks after mail in rebate for a 5670 with DDR5 1GB ram. So I took a chance and placed the order yesterday afternoon and it arrived this morning to my door around 11am...It turns out this card is very well built, solid, with a very big and long piece of aluminum mounted on top of the GPU. the fan also runs very quiet. Very satisfied with the cost v.s. the performance. Here are some numbers: PerformanceTest 7.0 2060 fps - 1024x768x32bit windows screen HAL 275-300 fps - 1024x768x32 4x windows screen HAL 85 fps 1024x768x32 4xmultisample Full screen D3D10 43 fps 1024x768x32 8xmultisample Full screen 3Dmark03 1024x768x32 Full screen tests: Wing of Fury 150-1k+ fps Battle of Roxycon 194-409 fps Troll's Lair 88-450+ fps (180-250fps most of time) Mother of Nature 85-505fps (150-250fps most the time) System used: Tested on AMD 1075T 8GBram Windows 7 64-bit

Cons: It doesn't comes with the CrossfireX Bridge and no screws.

Thermaltake Tower 100 Racing Green Edition Tempered Glass Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) Mini Tower Computer Chassis Supports Mini-ITX CA-1R3-00SCWN-00
Thermaltake Tower 100 Racing Green Edition Tempered Glass Type-C (USB 3.2 Gen 2) Mini Tower Computer Chassis Supports Mini-ITX CA-1R3-00SCWN-00

Pros: This review is for the smaller ITX, Tower 100 - very roomy, for ITX build. - very airy, should not be an issue! - forget about cable management, you don't really need one for this chassis, cables won't be seen once tucked under or behind the chassis. - it fits regular size PSU also

Cons: - be careful when working with tempered glass panels. they could easily slip and fall to the ground if you're working at the edge of the table. - glass panels can only remove after the top cover is removed. I found it a little bit inconvenient.

Overall Review: - Overall I found it very pleasant to build, the price is on point, especially when it comes with 2 fans included, and a USB-C front port, and plenty of dust mesh.

Pros: I was able to tweak from auto to 1.4xV, for intense performance, or lower it all the way to 0.9V to conserve electricity and low core temperature results.

Cons: not much.

Overall Review: For a 12core performance still somewhat fair at the price range. sitting on the x570 and 6800xt with 3600Mhz RAM I was able to experience noticeable improvement, compared to 10750h, 3200 32GB RAM, and 1660ti GPU Razer 15 laptop. I believe this build should be able to last me for another 5-10 years without any further major upgrades...

they look pretty!

Pros: Beauty and performance all in one! Low latency at 16, improved overall system speed!

Cons: pricey

Overall Review: If you're looking for something superior in appearance this would be one of the few choices out there.
