Our weekend roundup pulled in some interesting reviews covering several areas so let's have a look. Most enthusiasts scoff at the idea of buying a system versus choosing your own parts and assembling a custom-built rig. However, for those that can't/won't take the time to do the research and learn about building a tweaking there are pre-built options such as the Alienware Area-51. For the rest of us there are several components to choose such as a case and the Thermaltake M9 (reviewed by OCC here) is a good place to start. So what do you want to put inside that case? Check out the rest of the reviews covering CPUs, power supplies and video cards and then enjoy the rest of your weekend.
