The Western Digital VelociRaptor is the fastest SATA hard drive on the market and it even surpasses the performance of the fastest SSDs, in some cases. Add to this the fact it has a capacity of 300GB and costs only £150 and we can't recommend it highly enough. The Raptor line is still the ultimate enthusiast hard drive. Our price $375.

--- Fri, 27 June 2008
The NF-P12 is the type of component that can at least prolong its maker’s success as it offers a solid balance between performance and overall noise output and has great versatility. As the tests concluded, the NF-P12 provides top performance at its maximum working speed of 1300 RPM (rotations per minute) and while some might want more air being pushed through the fan’s blades, those aiming to have a PC that is both quiet and cool will surely be pleased with Noctua’s compromise. Our price $35. More info: tcmagazine...
Noctua NH-C12P CPU Cooler Review
--- Mon, 16 June 2008
The NH-C12P is very well built, and for an air cooler it is very, very quiet. As for the performance side of the cooler, this is where most expect to see their ‘bang for buck’. The cooler did perform close to the level of Noctua’s previous cooler, the NH-U12P, with our test system running at stock settings. This is perfect for those who need an extremely quiet cooler for a small desktop that can’t accommodate the larger tower coolers. Our price $95. More info: legitreviews...
