Media PCs and media centres are becoming more and more common, especially with people losing a little faith in their stalwart desktop system. Today I’m looking at a rig from Cryo PC that looks to bridge the gap between traditional desktop and media centre, offering decent performance in a lounge setting, with some media features thrown in for good measure. I give you the Alto.

Full tower cases are usually needed by end users that needs tons of storage capacity. Or by watercooling fanatics that need adequate space to house all of their huge radiators. Sometimes you don't have any option besides to go for a full tower case, as your motherboard's size is out of proportions. A few of those particular motherboards might be Intel's Skulltrail, eVGAs SR2/3 motherboards or even eg Gigabyte's X58 UD9. Due to their XXXL ATX size, only full towers need to apply for the job. Todays Elysium is Xigmateks high end full tower chassis, ready to take on any big size motherboard you throw at it. Fully ready to be fitted with your favorite watercooling gear.

Lian Li have long been known for their extremely elegant and very expensive aluminium cases. Quality has always oozed from almost every case they have produced, but with that quality and aluminium material, an unaffordable price tag looms nearby. As we enthusiasts believe, if a brand is offering high quality and desirable products, they shouldn’t change their production and design aims due to the possibility of the changes resulting in a lack of quality to hit a certain price point. Thankfully, Lian Li have managed to maintain their elegant aluminium design while also producing a case which meets a far more appealing price point; the Lian Li PC-6B.

When Corsair hit the market with the start of their gaming focused cases, the Obsidian 800D, it quickly won many industry awards and became the watercooler's case de jour. Since then, Corsair has released several other cases that copied many of the best features from their flagship to hit all price points in the enthusiast market. Corsair sent us one of the latest from their Carbide series, the 500R in trendy white to allow us to see if how it stacks up against the mighty 800D and others on the market today.

Als Lancool im April 2011 die neue First Knight Gehäuse Serie lancierte, waren viele Fans der Lian Li Tochter enttäuscht. Die Symbiose aus Stahl und Aluminium war nicht mehr vorhanden, wo früher ein Stahlkorsett von edlem Aluminium umgeben war, befand sich jetzt Stahl gepaart mit schnödem Kunststoff. Das sind zwar die Zutaten der allermeisten aktuellen Gehäuse Hersteller, der Lancool Liebhaber erwartet aber etwas völlig anderes, zumal sich auch die Optik kaum noch von den fernöstlichen Blinkiblanki-Gehäusen unterschied. Lancool hat auf die Kritik reagiert und endlich wieder ein Gehäuse nach der traditionellen Corporate Identity entwickelt: den PC-K9X Midi Tower.
Seitenteile, Frontklappe, Gehäusedeckel werden aus Aluminium gefertigt, das Gehäuse Skelett oder auch Chassis wie gewohnt aus Stahl. Klingt kompliziert, ist aber ebenso genial wie simpel, wie wir noch sehen werden. Das diese Kombination den Preis des Gehäuses schon fast zwangsläufig in überschaubare Regionen minimiert, erfreuen sich Lancool Gehäuse dieser großen Beliebtheit. Hinzu kommt noch ein ganz entscheidender anderer Aspekt, die Verarbeitungsqualität entspricht der des Lian Li Mutterkonzerns und das sind kaum widerlegbare Verkaufsargumente. Ob dies für das neue PC-K9X immer noch gilt, haben wir euch analysiert. Was sich in unserem Test an Fakten herauskristallisierte, erfahrt ihr wie immer in unserem ausführlichen Review, viel Vergnügen beim Lesen..

To date, from BitFenix I have seen some really unusual designs such as the Survivor and Colossus, but in more recent times they have moved to more widely acceptable aesthetics and design layouts. Of the last pair of chassis designs, both are more of the usual suspect when it comes to mid tower cases, yet still have things that make them stand out when scrolling through what seems like an endless list of chassis purchase options.

In this review we will be looking at a new chassis from Silverstone called the RV03 Raven 3. As the name indicates this is the third case in the Raven series and shares many of the same fundamentals established by the original. The increasing trend with the Raven is to make the chassis more compact without losing the features that made it popular to begin with.

Fractal Design is a Swedish manufacturer, and their products are easy to find in the US. The Core 3000 is a mid-tower case that costs USD 65. Let's see if it is a good pick.
