Unlike typical cases that only incorporate a thin aluminum facade front cover, the entire FC-ZE1 enclosure incorporates firm 4-5mm thick anodized pure aluminum panels that prevent system vibration, reinforce system cooling by dissipating internal heat, and provide the highest in aesthetic quality. The FC-ZE1 enclosure is designed to maintain optimum internal temperature at all times, incorporating two 92mm Red LED Front Intake Fans and a 120mm Red LED Rear Exhaust Fan for high volume airflow through the system at low fan RPM for high performance cooling with quiet operation, and accommodates even the hottest CPUs that generate over 130 watts of heat. The Removable Right Side Panel allows the user to conveniently access the ODD/5.25 inch bay's right panel for securing various devices and also for cable management. Unlike common cases with silk screen printing, the aesthetics of the FC-ZE1 is intensified with very fine laser-etched graphics. Patent pending design that incorporates anchored spinning bars with cylindrical rubber wheels allows the user to install and remove the HDD simply by rolling the HDD in and out of the chassis without having to use any tools. One push of a sliding latch pops open the hinged side panel like a door and facilitates quick and easy access to internal components for tuning and maintenance. Nickel plating of the rear expansion slot panel heightens the aesthetic quality and prevents corrosion for long term use.
Advantages: reasonable price, for quick and easy overclocking, and great performance Disadvantages: it has a SODIMM switch, which perhaps isn't welcomed by everyone as its an old feature.
...The Abit Fatal1ty FP-IN9 SLI mother board is great start for anyone who wishes to puchurse a new motherboard, or perhaps start to build there own computer and just aren't quite sure what mother board to go for. Well i strongly recomend this product, its priced keenly and is focused almost exculsivly on forming the basis of a decent gaming rig.
The reason that the board is so much cheaper than other LGA775 boards is that it uses the nForce 650i SLI chipset, rather than the top of the range 680i SLi thats seen on more expensive motherboards, but i wouldnt worry its still a great board to go with.
Even though the board is brand new, theres a SODIMM switch between the two 8x PCI-E slots. This is used to manually set the board to single or dual graphics card mode, which is a fairly old idea, that perhaps more experienced gamers aren...

Advantages: cant fit them all here theres a big list in the review Disadvantages: nope none
...bearing in mind that these boards are identical both in looks and specs but not in performance the abit wins for me as it was designed by the world champion gamer jonathan fatal1ty wendel more care has been put in this board than any other board i have ever owned
even if you dont use your computer for games this board for its low price of 68 quid is well worth a go and the performance is there if needed
you could even use it in a server as it will support 32 gb of memory and the latest 3.0ghz quad core extreme cpu
no overclocking skills needed. Instead, a supercharged, factory overclocked system bus provides the hidden powers automaticly
my only bad point is that when over clocking in the bios it is a litle more difficult than the asus but same overclocks are possible
good points
nice blood red colour
this board does support...

Advantages: Quiet, HDMI , optical out Disadvantages: price
...I bought this motherboard as i was after a high specification micro atx motherboard so i could build a HTPC (home theatre pc) to connect to my samsung hdtv.
I was mainly after a board that had a hdmi socket to output an hd signal to my television and an optical output to connect to my 5.1 surround sound system which this has both.
once installed i have found this board more than adaquate for my needs it provides a perfect picture to my tv and crystal clear sound.
This board has the unusual feature of being completley passive in design (no cooling fans) so makes no noise at all, which is ideal in a pc that is going to be based in my living room.
I am using this board with a freeview tv card,intel e2140 dual core processor,2Gb Ram and a 500Gb Hard disk drive and i have had no compatability issues whatsoever.
So even though...

I got this as part of a bundle deal from ebuyer.com - it came free with a creative 7.1 fatality soundcard, but i understand they are worth in the region of £20-£25.
The headphones look stylish and sit very comfortably on your ears, completley... more
I bought this cooler because the one I was intending to buy was out of stock. Nonetheless, I was not disappointed.
For me, the Zalman 'flower' heatsinks always appeared overpriced and generally ridiculous. This new model, however, seems to take a... more
