You spotted the train in Metro, noticed the street sign in Fallout… You identified it was not Carl stealing that car in GTA and that James Heller from Prototype 2 was flying, not Delsin Rowe…

Our winner was not fooled by Paul Phoenix looking a bit like Ken in Street Fighter X Tekken and noticed that two policeman from L.A Noire::http://www.mightyape.co.nz/…ion/19261680 were headed into Eagleson's Gun St­ore…

She has identifed carefully, linked correctly and now… WON AWESOMELY!

Wow, that's some impressive RAM!

Add a comment By Ben

Inside our Watch Dogs Gorilla Rig is the aptly named Tactical Tracer RAM and it's got some pretty awesome tricks up it's sleeve!

In addition to the LED light controls, this tool also lets you enjoy real-time temperature monitoring, so you can keep tabs on your high-performance memory. The Crucial Ballistix M.O.D. utility allows you to view uptime, voltages, and set alarms for temperatures, making it one of the most customisable, responsive modules you’ll find.

We used Red/Green in our build but they also come in a blue – check out the video below to see some of the different colours and settings :)

Competition: Benchmarks & Elgato Game Cap Giveaways!

All Gorilla Rigs have Final Fantasy Benchmark results you can check out – this is a free benchmark you can download and try on your rig at home and it's a great way to compare performance :)

For these recordings we use the awesome Elgato Game Capture HD and in this FF benchmark Aiden's Ape pushed out an easy 11000 with the settings on maximum, 1080p and fullscreen – with this powerful build we even had it looped back into the rig recording as it ran the benchmark :)

Elgato is more than just a great capture device though, it includes some easy to use editing software that works with both PC and Mac and with it you can rewind back to the awesome moment you had 30 minutes ago and just record that bit… leaving out the 15 times I got killed by sneaky creepers.

Gorilla Rigs "The Orangutan" Returns

Computers

Add a comment By Andy

BitFenix has been a real favourite for the past year. Whether it be their Alchemy LED Strips or their hugely popular Spectre Fans, their focus on amazing performance and dark edgy aesthetic sets them apart from the rest.

Gorilla Rigs is now introducing a build in one of their most popular cases, the Prodigy.

Enter The Orangutan.

Not only is the case cute and practical to lug around, it also has a unique layout which allows rig builders to install the most powerful components into an unlikely case size.

Gorilla Warfare gets into Ghost mode! UPDATE and then sells out instantly :( Very sorry for those that missed out – more special editions are coming!

A little while ago we asked you which case you preferred between the BitFenix Ghost and Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Ghost white for our Call of Duty: Ghosts Gorilla Gaming Rig :) It was close but the ghost white Scout 2 came out on top!

Built for extended missions deep in enemy territory with Crucial SSD speed, Bitfenix Recon Cooling Control, JetFlo fans & white LED lighting all in the portable Cooler Master Storm Scout 2 Ghost Gaming Chassis!
