DFI LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D:

HardCoreWare has the DFI LANParty UT NF4 Ultra-D socket 939 motherboard on the bench today. Definitely a nice board with good OC features. You can see our review here for comparison.

From what I have seen, there is no reason not to recommend the Lanparty Ultra-D over any other NF4 Ultra board. It has everything you need, everything you don't need, and is virtually missing nothing you won't need.

Seagate Barracuda 7200.8 Hard Drive:

Geoff Gasior over at The Tech Report has taken the Seagate's Barracuda 7200.8 hard drive out for a spin. Get it? Spin? Heh…I kill myself! If you need a speedy 400GB hard drive, this bad boy might fit the bill. Check it:

At first glance, having 400GB of storage capacity on a desktop hard drive seems a little ridiculous. It raises the question: do everyday users or even enthusiasts really need that much storage? They just might.

BFG GeForce 6600GT OC:

Bjorn3D is putting the BFG GeForce 6600GT OC through the wringer today testing the card in single and SLi configurations. For more info on the BFG 6600GT OC, be sure to check out our review from early February here.

Obviously since the 6600 GT OC offers great performance by itself, it will also provide some of the best performance numbers (if not the best) in SLI mode when you set up a pair of them on your SLI motherboard.
