Dell has talked about competing head-to-head in the boutique gaming PC market for a while now. The company's first factory over-clocked and water-cooled gaming PC is the strongest sign yet that Dell is playing for keeps.

The MX-1 is Antec's first external hard drive enclosure. They pointedly call it an Actively Cooled Hard Drive Enclosure. It includes a fan, one quiet enough that Antec says it measures less than 22 dBA@1m. That's quieter than most hard drives. It's made mostly of plastic, but Antec also claims it keeps the drive very cool. Those are pretty good reasons for us to be interested.

For today's menu we decided to use Windows Vista x64-Bit edition and different memory configurations. It was a logical choice because we used 4GB of memory in this experiment. Many memory manufacturers are selling 4GB memory kits and they focus on the gamer market. If you are a gamer and you already have 2x1GB of memory you might want 4GB for better performance. The best way to upgrade is to buy a 4GB kit (2x2GB). The other option is to buy 2x1GB and add them to your existing 2GB. In this case you end up with 4x1 GB modules.
