Antec P183 v3 chassis
|
 "There are some designs in the case world that are iconic, the original Coolermaster Stacker, NZXT’s original Lexa Blackline and certainly Antec’s P183. Today we look at the latest revision of this classic design, the v3. It comes with the same USB 3.0 and SSD mount features as the P193, Nine Hundred and Twelve Hundred, but is this design modern enough to hold its own?"

Sentey GS-6400R Arvina PC Case Review
|
|
"Today for review I’ve got a PC case from a company called Sentey, it’s the GS-6400R Arvina and it’s a big case with a ton of room in it. The case has a built-in card reader and an SATA port on the top that works with the included SATA data and power cables that come with the case. The Arvina has more than enough room for the largest of video cards, along with space for five hard drives. "

Corsair Obsidian 650D review
|
|
We review the Corsair Obsidian 650D. And yeah, they stripped away the removable front drive bays, made the chassis smaller and boom, the Obsidian 650D was born. A chassis that is just as impressive as its bigger brother the 800D really.
Plenty of space, all graphics cards to date fit in there (length wise), many drive bays, fan controller, USB 3.0 frontpanel support, easy to clean dust filters and a solution that is once again pretty much tool free and comes in that scrumptious all black design.

Antec ISK 100
|
|
“Today we are looking at the Antec ISK 100, a tiny chassis for the ITX motherboard market. There isn't much choice out there in this market, but Antec may have a winner on their hands with the ISK 100 from what we've seen.”

AZZA Toledo 301 Mid-Tower Chassis Review
|

The sub-$100 chassis market is filled to the brim with selection, with the $70 price-point in particular being a total hotspot. AZZA, a relative new-comer to the chassis game, has a wide-variety of models available, with its $70 Toledo 301 being the most recent. Let's dive right in, and see if other $70 models have a reason to be wary.

Cooler Master Storm Spawn
|
|
Gaming mice are quickly approaching the point in which a unique look is in itself a cliché. Visual appeal was once a new, exciting feature that attracted the attention of the demanding gaming crowd. It has become so standard today that sometimes functionality is sacrificed for a novelty design. The Spawn was on display for us this year at CES, a unique device that did, indeed, catch our eye. Does it fall victim to vanity, or prove its value in one of the harshest gaming genres?

In Win BUC Case Review

BitFenix Shinobi Preview
|
|
We had a chance to take a look at the BitFenix Shinobi chassis pre-production sample, which is the first budget chassis from the upstart BitFenix. While the Colossus and Survivor managed to turn heads with unique looks, the Shinobi packs an understated design and a mean price/performance punch.

Lian Li Lancool PC-K57 Computer Case Review
|
|
"Lian Li LanCool's PC-K57 chassis has a lot going for it, and the potential for much more. The bold look and solid construction are quite welcome, but there is a lot more to recommend it. With a roomy interior, solid tool-free features and outstanding cable management, including the innovative cable channel, the PC-K57 was a joy to work in and the dust filters are easily serviced to help the user keep the case in good shape."

ARMOR A30 sports
|
|
The entirely black ARMOR A30 sports the familiar “bulletproof” armor design concept with metal mesh elements giving the ARMOR series a stylish appearance that will attract gamers and enthusiasts alike. Its small dimensions of 266 (H) x 291 (W) X 456 (D) cm make it an ideal solution for small form factor systems, Micro ATX and mini ITX, while still allowing for enough room to house some of the most powerful graphics cards available on the market today. Demanding LAN party-goers can now set up a truly powerful gaming machine that is still small enough to be portable and stylish at the same time. Optimized multimedia connectivity is provided by one USB 3.0 SuperSpeed, one USB 2.0 and one eSATA connector as well as HD Audio, all integrated into the left front panel for easiest access. The almost fully modular case will be put to the test today, so let’s see how good or bad this case really is.

Antec Six Hundred V2 Case Review
|
|
“Back in January Antec announced an update to their Six Hundred gaming case calling the new versions V2. We did not actually get a chance to check out the original Six Hundred case, but from what we have seen Antec has made some changes and added a few things to the Six Hundred case to bring it up to date. Some of those features include a front-loaded 2.5? hot swap hard drive caddy (SSD compatible), CPU cutout for installation of after-market coolers, a cable management compartment for tidier routing and a windowed top panel for unique “moonroof” visibility. Let’s check the S ix Hundred V2 out!"

CM Storm Enforcer Review
|
|
Today CM Storm launch a new mid-tower case called Enforcer. Seen at CES 2011
and CeBIT 2011 this new case has much more subtle styling compared to the
Scout and Sniper cases currently residing in CM Storm's product range. This
mid-tower case packs quite a punch for a case of its size - it can house the
largest graphics cards currently on the market (12") and CPU coolers of up
to 175mm in height.

It's been a good two-and-a-half years since we've taken a look at a Zalman chassis, so with the announcement of the ~$69 Z9 Plus, we were eager to get one in and see how it compared to the current fleet of sub-$100 offerings on the market. With that, let's see what the Z9 Plus gives us aside from its good looks and focus on efficient airflow

Xigmatek Elysium Super Tower Exclusive Review
|
|
"In the middle of 2010 I received some concept art from the Xigmatek Rep and was asked to keep the images and information confidential. This information has been very hard to keep quiet, but somehow I managed to achieve the task. If you have purchased a large PC case in the last 12 months, it's time to look for the receipt and try to return it. Your case is weak and you will no longer want it after seeing the Xigmatek Elysium.
The Elysium is that rare product that has a value that far outperforms its price. With a 200 USD MSRP, this review could be published with the price, a specifications / features list and a handful of pictures and no one would complain (other than the competition). It's going to be fairly difficult to keep this article on the Elysium's features and not dedicate eight pages to the price point that is insanely low for what you are getting. While doing my final check in with Xigmatek, I asked them to raise the price to 300 USD and send me the extra 100 Dollars, because I know you would spend that kind of money on what I have to show you today."
