Solid state drives haven't reached mainstream status yet, but the number of models available has grown by leaps and bounds over the last year to the point where you need something to really set yourself apart if you want to be noticed. It's in this increasingly crowded market that the PhotoFast G-Monster V5 256GB SSD makes its appearance. With claimed read/write speeds of up to 270MB/sec the drive is approaching the theoretical limit of the SATA II specification. That will certainly get you noticed, as will the $1,000 price tag. Also in our roundup is a review of the Cooler Master HAF 922 chassis (also reviewed by OCC here). After a hiatus over the last few roundups, videocards are back today with reviews on cards from both Nvidia and AMD.
