Lancool ist als Tochterfirma des bekannten taiwanesischen Herstellers Lian Li ebenfalls ein auf Gehäuse spezialisiertes Unternehmen, dass bereits in der Vergangenheit mit meist etwas günstigeren, den Lian Li-Modellen allerdings sehr ähnlichen Gehäusen aufgefallen ist. Mit der neuen First Knight-Serie kommen drei Gehäuse aus schwarzem SECC-Stahl auf den Markt. Alle drei Gehäuse ähneln dank eines neuen ausgefallenerem Design nur noch wenig den großen Brüdern von Lian Li. Das hier getestete Lancool PC-K63 verfügt über eine geschwungene Front, die fließend in den Deckel übergeht. Zusätzlich besitzt es einen schwarzen Innenraum und ein Seitenfenster. Ob Lancool auch mit dem K-63 den guten Ruf der taiwanesischen Gehäusehersteller wahren kann, werden wir auf den folgenden Seiten testen.
When selecting the perfect chassis for your home theater PC (HTPC) it can be difficult to strike the right balance between looks and capability. With multiple tuners increasingly becoming available in smaller and varied packages at more competitive prices, the form factor revolution in the client HTPC space made possible by no-compromise integrated processor graphics (IPG) systems is now a tangible reality for the primary HTPC as well. Wesena has aggressively pushed into this space with chassis like the Micro-ATX/Mini-ITX compatible all-aluminum E5, which with its CE visage offers a near perfect look for the A/V stack. There is some compromise because of the ultra-low-profile form factor but with two hard drive mounts, space for a slim optical drive and enough expansion to provide a viable enclosure for your main HTPC, it warrants a detailed look.
BitFenix have made a big move into the chassis market over the past year, starting with the release of the Colossus full tower chassis. Today we are going to look at a mid tower, the BitFenix Shinobi Window version. The Shinobi aims to provide all the high end features at a very affordable price. The Window version offers tool free drive installation and their ‘SoftTouch’ surface designed to fend off nasty finger prints.
The PC-Q series from Lian Li have all been small in stature and along the lines improvements and new ideas are incorporated. What we are about to see does get most of its inspiration from the PC-Q11. The idea seems to have been to strip the PC-Q11 of the front I/O and external bays and leave a smooth undisturbed front panel in its place.
Vor ein paar Tagen sind wir wieder in unserem Lieblingscomputerfachmarkt gewesen und da ist uns in der Auslage ein Gehäuse ins Auge gestochen, welches bei der Markteinführung nicht so stark promotet wurde, um auf sich aufmerksam zu machen. Die Rede ist vom Corsair Special Edition White Graphite Series 600T mit Sichtfenster. Das normale Graphite 600T ist mittlerweile seit einem Jahr auf dem Markt. Die weiße Special Edition erschein rund 5 paar Monate später und zählt unserer Meinung nach noch immer zu einem Geheimtipp unter den Gehäusen.
The BUC Midi Tower PC Case by In-Win is not only a great looking product but it also packs quite a punch for its size with several interesting features such as four hot-swap 3.5inch drive trays, three of which can also be accessed from the outside, plenty of airflow through a total of five 120mm fans, space for graphics cards up to 30cm in length, good cable management, tool-less design and a top USB 3.0 port.
Even though there is a vast number of enthusiast PC cases on the market these days, your choice is far more limited if you're looking for a HTPC chassis. There are far fewer manufacturers who actually produce HTPC cases, and they can also be very expensive.
Nous l'avons vu dernièrement, les constructeurs de boitiers PC se livrent actuellement une véritable guerre sans merci sur le marché de l'entrée de gamme Gamer. Un petit nouveau vient aujourd'hui se mêler à la bataille, Sharkoon. Pour sortir victorieux, la marque nous propose un T5 Value qui, sur le papier, a de quoi faire mouche. A découvrir maintenant.
In the last few weeks we have taken a look at a wide range of chassis based on feedback we’ve received from our readers in regards to what form factor is most used for their home theater PC (HTPC) as the results were mixed. But one form factor which has not been covered simply due to a lack of viable options has been the “cube” case, which I have admired for years but never saw one compact enough for my home theater space--most of the cube cases were either very large or made of the clear acrylic and flashy lights not at all suitable for a living room. Only recently coming from overseas and available in the US, the Fractal Design Array R2 chassis provides a blend of refinement with a ton of storage space options, in an all aluminum black enclosure--not exactly a cube by measurement, but of similar structure.
Today we have a case from BitFenix on our test bench, the Shinobi. From a range which offers various models to suit different tastes this low cost model has a number of impressive features on paper. Let's find out if BitFenix can find that middle ground between low cost and functionality/performance.
