Four Mainstream Cases

We would like to introduce to you four new system cases in the mainstream price segment from Asus, Gigabyte and Cooler Master. We will discuss in detail their design, features, estimate the ease of system assembly and test their thermal characteristics.

In fact, you should make your choice from among the tested cases basing not only on the temperature diagrams but on their design, chassis and price. For example, the Gigabyte Poseidon is considerably cheaper than the others. The noise factor should be ...

Anyway, with all the minor discrepancies between them, the Dell 3007WFP and the Samsung 305T are two very similar monitors when it comes to their practical characteristics. The Dell looks somewhat more elegant, has an integrated card-reader and ...

One more batch of 19-inch LCD panels have been tested in our labs. We would like to introduce to you 8 new widescreen 19? monitors that have an aspect ratio of 16:10 and a native resolution of 1440x900 pixels. Today we will look at solutions from ASUS ...

The market of widescreen 19? monitors has taken its final shape in the last year. Unfortunately, it has no place for matrix types other than TN. If you want a monitor with wide viewing angles based on an MVA/PVA or S-IPS matrix, you have to consider ...

AeroCool System Cases Roundup: Large Fans and Aerospace Design

Today we are going to introduce to you three system cases from AeroCool that boast untraditional aviation-styled design and feature large fans for air intake. Will this impressive looking cooling solution prove efficient as well? Find out now from our ...

The overall verdict is disappointing. The AeroCool Zero is in fact the only system case among the reviewed ones that can be really regarded as a top-class product, but its over-sophisticated design, which has no practical purpose today, may scare the ...

Thermaltake Soprano DX: Mainstream System Case Refreshed

Restyling is a basic means of making a product's market life longer. This word is known mostly from the car industry. In the computer case market, a life span of over 1 year is quite a long one even for such a good model as the Soprano was. After such ...

Summing it up, Thermaltake's restyling is definitely a success. The system case is worth every cent of its price and offers opportunities for users who like to finish their PC off with their own hands ' the grids on both fans seem to be redundant. ...

1000W Power Supply Unit Roundup

Today we are going to introduce to you the first batch of the most powerful PSUs in the today's market: 1000W models from Cooler Master, OCZ, PC Power & Cooling, SilverStone, Tagan and Topower. Find out which one is the winner from our detailed test ...

It might have been expected that noise would prove the greatest problem with high-wattage power supplies, especially under high load. Neither of the PSUs with an 80mm fan can be considered suitable for a home computer. They are all too loud and the ...
