IN WIN Maelstrom
|
 "Its large size and hefty amount of airflow right out of the box from the factory proved that fans do make a difference, though they may remain slightly audible. The case is very solid and sturdy, has a conveniently placed I/O and button panel, and is one of my favorite cases out of the ones that I've tested. I am disappointed with IN WIN with the major mishap on the placement of the motherboard access hole, as it is useless for the motherboard I used, and probably for most other x58 boards!"

Antec Mini Skeleton-90 Open Air Mini-ITX Case
|
|
"Back in May we looked at the Antec Skeleton and I was quite pleased with what Antec was offering in their uniquely designed open air chassis. I loved the concept and using and installing components in it was a breeze. The top mounted fan worked wonders for keeping RAM and chipset coolers full of cool air flow, greatly reducing the ambient air the motherboard sat in. the biggest complaint I had then was head room for CPU coolers. Let’s see what they have come up with this time.
Today we are looking at the Mini Skeleton-90 from Antec. This version is a mITX compatible, sized down model of the Skeleton I previously reviewed. Since things were so easy and pleasurable to use the first time around, I don’t expect many issues, aside from cooler clearances. Enough with what I expect, let’s get to the images and let the product speak for itself!"

Patriot Launches New High End LX Series Class 10 SDHC
|
 Patriot Memory, a global pioneer in high-performance memory, NAND flash and computer technology, today announced the release of their new high capacity Class 10 SDHC cards, the LX Series.
Engineered to support the SD Association’s new Class 10 specification, the LX will provide dramatic performance improvements in today’s new digital devices. Never before have camera enthusiasts been able to capture high speed, sequential images; previously, those shots were lost due to the limitations of the preceding generation of SDHC cards. Patriot’s LX Series allows for increased storage and more pictures per second. In addition to the cutting edge improvement on continuous photo taking, the high speed transfer rate of Class 10 also makes video recording in high resolution an option that video enthusiasts can appreciate.
"Patriot's new LX Series Class 10 SDHC cards will allow users to maximize the use of their digital equipment, especially in the area of photography and video," says Meng Jay, Patriot’s Flash Product Manager. "You can now secure your favorite photo memories by seizing the moment and capturing every single sequential image. Videographers will appreciate putting those special moments in HD-high resolution."

Otterbox Commuter TL iPhone Case Review
|
|
"The Otterbox Commuter TL is a rather simple design that provides comfortable protection for those expensive iPhones. The case is supplied with a protective film that can be applied over the touch screen of the phone. This is accomplished in a rather straight forward manner, but can still be a little tricky. You must be very careful to make sure that the touch screen surface is completely clean and free of dust, dirt and fingerprints. If you are not careful with this step, the film will not adhere properly and you will get bubbles. Once clean, the packaging film should be removed from the screen protector and the adhesive strip can be placed gently on the phone. A steady hand will be needed to match the edges up properly. Once you have lined up the one end, slowly work to the other end with the applicator card gently gliding over the film, forcing any bubbles out from under the film."

Lian Li PC-A70F case
|
|
Lian Li are one of the classier case manufacturers around, when you think of them you think of brushed aluminium, and a sincere lack of plastic and gimmicky features. Today I'm taking a look at a case that fits into the Lian Li mold very nicely indeed, the PC-A70F. It's a giant server style chassis, with gamer LED fans, and a fancy black, brushed aluminium finish.

Thermaltake Element G VL10001W2Z Case Review
|
|
Thermaltake specializes in cooling computer components like cases, CPUs and other components and they took a long hard look at the Element G design and it shows. Three 200mm+ fans a 140mm fan and room for more fans means this case has plenty of cooling for even the most demanding computer. The only limitation on this case really has to do with the 3 5.25” drive bays, but most people don’t use more than two optical drives anyway. The inclusion of two 2.5” drive mounts is a definite plus and a nod towards where most case manufacturers are going to be going with the improved performance of SSD drives compared to SATA drives. The Element G case is available online for a price of $149.99, making it a good buy for someone wanting excellent cooling on their case and plenty of HDD space.

SilverStone Raven RV02 Full-Tower
|
|
SilverStone's Raven RV01 chassis might not have been the most well-received, but the company has attempted to make up for all the mistakes of the initial chassis with a follow-up, the RV02. Fortunately, the company has done just that, and except from a rather minor issue, and possibly its price, this is almost a perfect chassis.

IN-WIN Maelstrom Full Tower Case Review
|
|
"The IN-WIN Maelstrom case is a full tower chassis in their Destiny-extreme series which, if you can't discern from the name, is geared towards high-end systems. While a full tower case, it is not quite as overwhelmingly large as some in that category although it still has some heft to it at roughly 27lbs. Retailing for $109.99 shipped, the IN-WIN Maelstrom certainly is a fair amount cheaper than many higher-end cases and hopefully after reading this, you'll have a good idea as well as our opinion on if the price represents a good value for this product..."
