5 - Gigabyte

Here you see the EP45T Extreme mainboard, expensive but nice. It again comes with DES, the 12 phase power circuitry (Ed: that's "Gigabyte counted" phases), dual GigE, heatpipe coolers, well you get the idea. To top it off you can see the NX96T1GP graphics card, obviously GeForce 9600 GT .. yet with one GB of graphics memory.

Of course it's not only GeForce NVIDIA graphics cards, Gigabyte sells a good selection of ATI Radeon based cards as well, this for example is their Radeon 3870 with what seems to be Zalman cooling.

One of the stronger points of the product line are the Gigabyte chassis, great design. Above the Mercury we have tested for them, with integtared water-cooling.

These cases just look real nice, in the midle for example the iSolo 3132 , not too expensive either as I think it was something like 70 EUR.  Nice black style .. me likey a lottey.
