AMD Live! Lives with HEC Compucase
Bolstered by its partnership with ATI, AMD’s Live! Home Cinema Platform supports a full range of PC capabilities in a living-room convenient form factor.
Best known for its Compucase brand, manufacturer HEC showed its latest Micro ATX Home Theatre chassis along side several power supplies. The case supports up to four half-height expansion cards, a full-sized ATX power supply, VFD display, Bluetooth and WiFi module, and two WiFi antennas.
A semi-complete platform solution, HEC’s chassis includes a Microstar MS-7411 motherboard. Optional components such as an ATI Theatre 650 Pro and add-in ATI graphics card expand on the system’s capabilities.

Is it time for another DDR3 grouptest?
I bought 4 gigs of the aXeRam PC2-9600 (1200MHz) for £170, stuck it in my Evga 680i board and started tweaking, reached 3-3-3-8 @ 800MHz using 2.0v, 4-3-4-8 @ 1066MHz using 2.0v, 5-4-4-12 @ 1115MHz using 2.0v, 5-5-5-15 @ 1200MHz using 2.2v, 5-5-5-16 @ 1312MHz using 2.2v.
All these settings got through various stress tests completely stable, other hardware used were X6800 cooled by a titan amanda tec cooler, PC P+C 850W PSU.
Would love to see a shoot out of the latest top spec ram (these included) with the likes of TWIN2X2048-8888C4DF thrown in, as far as i'm concerned for the price it's going to be hard to beat these clocks/timings as in bang for your buck.
