Chieftec puts New Faces on Classic Cases
Long respected for its rugged quality, Chieftec has updated parts of its line with trendy design and enhanced features.
Based on the most recent revision of its classic Dragon oversized mid-tower, the Mesh model CX-05SL-B incorporates a split door with front panel buttons and connectors centrally located between upper and lower front panel segments. Gone is the IEEE-1394 FireWire connector, replaced with faster eSATA technology. Inside, the drive cage is updated to the latest screw-less version.
Chieftec also understands what features are important to keep, and continues to use super-duty 1.0mm steel panels.
The Mesh series CH-05SL-B features similar construction with a traditional mid-tower height and full door. Both Mesh series cases are available with either mesh or windowed side panels.
The Mesh series is Chieftec’s flagship line

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.
