PC builds range from the extremely cheap to the absurdly expensive but they all have one thing in common: they need a good case in order to shield it from the elements and to provide proper airflow to all of your components. The Cooler Master Elite 371 PC Case isn’t going to win any beauty […]

Since you can cram a whole lot of computing power in ever shrinking motherboards it only stands to reason that PC cases would follow suit.

As PC cases turn into massive air tunnels for your components there’s no real reason to strategically place fans to cool off areas that need it the most…you just blast it all with copious amounts of CFM and call it a day. The AZZA Toledo 301 is a rather wide mid-tower case that makes full use […]

PC components tend to look away from the past as quickly as possible so they avoid being labeled as a rehash despite the fact that some older designs are still worth keeping around and, with a few modifications, can rival the latest and greatest models.

The general concept behind effectively cooling your PC is, usually, tossing as much airflow at your components in an effort to keep it from overheating which generally works fine but once you start looking into smaller systems you’re left with poor case choices. Lian Li’s PC-A04 microATX case pops a pair of 120mm fans up front […]

The trend has been to come up with a completely new case design and market it as the greatest thing since sliced bread but it doesn’t make a whole lot of sense when you have a design that already works well. Antec’s Six Hundred V2 works on that principle by adding a hot-swap bay up […]

Computer hardware manufacturers tend to overstate things when it comes to naming their products so any adjective is fair play and the more grandiose it is the better. Unfortunately the Nexus Prominent 5 doesn’t match up to its name at all which is difficult when your case is a solid black design but it does […]

A simple PC case is hard to come by with all of the focus going to LED overloaded systems that the gaming crowd likes to jump on but, slowly, manufacturers are putting out more subdued designs now a days. The upcoming BitFenix Shinobi is just a squared off block of monolithic good-ness whose simplicity hides […]
