I remember looking at the original Midgard from Xigmatek and I even refreshed my memory by looking at the old review from 2010. As I remember, the original offered something like five ODD bays, five HDD bays with metal trays, seven expansion slots and a pair of orange bladed fans to go along with the tool-less mechanisms used in that chassis. One other thing I remember was that the original did have most of the front and the entire top covered with mesh for easy breathe-ability for both air in through the front. Via convection it allowed hot air to escape right through the top passively or you could add fans to help things along. All in all, for the time of its release, the Midgard had an oddly placed front I/O panel, but other than that it was a nice chassis for its day.
As time progresses, older designs are left in the dust in favor of cases with USB 3.0, room to manage wires behind the motherboard tray and even handy hot-swap SATA hard drive docks built into cases are a huge hit. Well, Xigmatek saw the writing on the wall and took what was a good selling product for them and figured it was time to update the chassis to today's customers' expectations. With a fresh set of eyes, the new release got both an exterior and an interior redo. There are some subtle hints to the original case, but honestly it looks a lot like the mid towers we seen from BitFenix. Either way, the new chassis is a definite improvement over the original concept.

In the PC building community we're all enthusiasts, and no matter how much time you spend building, you always end up needing more space to build in. Rosewill is a company here to answer that need you have. Their recently released Thor case is an XL-ATX tower able to support the extra large motherboards like the EVGA X58 Classified 4-way SLI, Gigabyte 890FXA-UD7 and others. This XL-ATX case enters a rank in terms of size that few other cases venture to, so let's see if it can hold up to the competition and rise above the rest.

Nicht nur Antec oder Cooler Master bieten in der Zwischenzeit so genannte Benchtables an, auch die Edelschmiede Lian Li lässt sich das mit dem Pitstop PC-T60 nicht entgehen. Zwar sind die „Gehäuse“ nur bedingt alltagstauglich, jedoch für Anwender, die öfter Hardware testen wollen oder Benchmarks einfacher gestalten möchten, eine interessante Alternative, eingebaute Hardware schnell und einfach auszuwechseln.

A few days ago a friend of mine decided to go out and purchase several hardware components to build a small HTPC to place right next to the TV set he has inside the living room. The problem was that since he's not much into mITX and mATX mainboards (neither am i to be honest) he had to find the ideal ATX compatible midi tower that would feel right at home in his living room both in terms of design/appearance and of course low noise levels. Unfortunately although the market is filled with a virtually infinite number of PC Cases there aren't that many midi towers that feature noise-absorbing coating so it did prove to be a somewhat difficult search. Antec sent us their latest and quite elegant P100 Midi Tower roughly a month ago so the moment he called asking for my opinion on the matter i knew exactly what to recommend.

Storm Sniper und Storm Scout sind die Namen der beiden Gehäuse, die Cooler Master unter der neuen Gaming-Marke „CM Storm“ im Angebot hat. Wir haben uns mit dem Storm Sniper die mit integrierter Lüftersteuerung etwas besser ausgestattete und teurere Variante in einem ausführlichen genauer angesehen.

Die amerikanische Firma Antec ist bekannt für ihre durchdachten und soliden ATX-Towergehäuse, aber auch für Netzteile und HTPC-Zubehör. Im Mini-ITX Sektor hat Antec dagegen bislang wenig von sich reden gemacht. Mit der Vorstellung des Antec ISK 300-65 Mini-ITX Gehäuses hat sich dies nun geändert. Dieses Gehäuse besticht, abgesehen von seinen kompakten Abmessungen und dem schicken sowie eleganten Äußeren, vor allem durch die mitgelieferte 65W-Stromversorgung. Auch ein interessantes Belüftungskonzept ist in diesem Mini-ITX-Gehäuse umgesetzt worden.
