Today we have a new product from the NZXT line of accessories in our test lab. The product we are going to look at is a set of LED’s with a black mesh sleeve that runs the entire length of the cable.

This is where today's review item comes in handy. NZXT the makers of PC cases and other PC components have a USB Expansion device that works from inside your PC that features two external USB ports as well as six internal ones. The IU01 USB Expansion Board can be attached anywhere inside the PC case using the included Velcro and has a Molex connector meaning it is a powered USB hub. It is simple to set up and requires no additional drivers.

The NZXT IU01 is a simple device that could greatly enhance the functionality of any computer case. While it isn't a must have item, it should have appeal to many enthusiasts who could either use some extra power to their front panel USB ports, use a few more internal USB connectors, or would like to mount some permanently connected USB devices inside their case.

Frankly, when I first looked at NZXT's IU01 internal USB module I was prepared to be underwhelmed. After putting it through its paces, I now see how wrong first impressions can be. The device performed as advertised and can really be a boon to users with insufficient USB port availability and/or power hungry USB devices.

Computer case lighting started with people taking lights made for cars and putting them in cases. From there we got our own cold cathode lights made for computers and it just went on from there. Back in 2010 we took a look at NZXT’s sleeved LED kit, which was a great way to light the inside of your case. NZXT is back with another lighting solution called the Hue. It combines a LED strip with a 5.25-inch bay device that you can use to control the LED’s. The Hue is set to be one of the most customizable and easy to use lighting systems for your PC! Read on as we check it out!

Where to power fans can easily be an issue in any chassis build, but NZXT now offers the Grid, a 10 port fan hub to alleviate these issues.

If you frequently attend LAN gaming events, share common living space or otherwise have reason to leave your computer in a public area, one thing you're likely concerned with is theft. The likelihood that someone could walk off unnoticed with your case under their arm may be slim, however peripherals such as keyboards and mice are much more susceptible. NZXT has come up with a solution to this problem with their Bunker USB Locking Device. Compatible with any case that has a free 5¼" external drive bay, the Bunker offers four USB 2.0 ports that can be locked down to prevent the devices from being unplugged.

I am a big fan of airsoft. I not only have my own collection of guns, but I have a slew of upgrades attached to my equipment as well. To be honest, I would go as far arguing airsoft is much more fun and realistic than paintball; and hence, why I have invested so much time and money into such an expensive hobby. And as an airsoft enthusiast, I not only play the sport itself, but am also into many types of first-person shooter games, whether it is on my computer or on my Playstation 3 (This includes shooting up zombies with my colleague Jeremy during office hours, haha). And of course, as obvious as it may seem, camouflage is a very important aspect in the world of airsoft in being able to protect yourself from easily spotted by the enemy. Being a more defensive player myself, I tend to hide and sneak around while playing on the field, and usually, this includes fortified bunkers and protected shelters. Speaking of bunkers, recently, I so happened to have stumbled across a product that quite intrigued me. Until that point in time, I had never thought that such a military theme could be implemented so nicely in the world of computers, other than the fact that shooter games are available for play. When I first saw the NZXT Bunker on the manufacturer's website, I immediately thought to myself that this is a must-have accessory, especially for computer enthusiasts like yours truly. The name itself already provides me with a good idea that it will provide some physical security to my peripherals, whatever it may be designed for. Further investigation tells me that it protects your USB cables and flash drives from being easily taken, especially when you are at LAN parties. Without further delay, let's read on to see what I have found out about the NZXT Bunker!
