There were some quiet rumors at CES 2012 about the successor to the Obsidian 800D, nothing concrete though. just a few whispers. At CES 2013 I was able to see the new Obsidian 900D and even snap a few shots of it. Today Corsair is launching the Obsidian 900D and it looks to be even more impressive than I thought it would be! We're gonna take a closer look at the latest and greatest Obsidian 900D from Corsair, throw some parts into it and see how it looks! Join us for our journey and let us know what you think!

Today I have the Silverstone RL04 chassis in the office today, as budget friendly solution from Silverstone that is part of their new Redline Series of chassis designs. Priced at around £42 shipped from most of the major online retailers, I won't be expecting it to set the world on fire in terms of features, performance or build quality, but it's not exactly the kind of money you want to just throw away on an important component either and Silverstone do have a very strong reputation to uphold, so hopefully I can find a nice middle ground between the budget friendly price tag and overall quality.
While this price range might not sound terribly exciting it is one of the most important sectors of the chassis market, it's where the majority of system builders spend their money and there is a common misconception that everyone out there has high-end gaming PC's, when that really isn't the case at all. There is a lot of competition within the budget end of the market, and 99% of chassis manufacturers have plenty of products to cater to this price range, so much so that many manufacturers have more budget chassis designs than they do mid or premium options.
When I'm looking for a sub £50 chassis, I have three major things that I look for other than price, such as, are all the major features there that my build requires, does it look good, is it well made. It's as simple as that, fundamentally all most consumers are bothered about is "will it work and will it keep working over time", anything else is a bonus. So lets move on and see just what the RL04 has to offer.
The Cooler Master N200 Case has amazing potential and major bang for the buck. It comes with two 120mm fans and more can be installed, fan filters, ample drive bays, fits mATX & mITX motherboards, water cooling friendly, USB3, is lightweight, looks great and affordable.
Thermaltake Chaser A31 Thunder Case Review The Chaser A31 Thunder, or A31 for short, is the latest in the TT Chaser series and firmly targeted at the eSports crowd. The A31 is designed to bring a combination of cooling, performance and expandability normally found in the full size chassis to this mid tower design.
The Thermaltake Urban S31 Mid Tower case is designed to have a simple appearance without cutting out features. The Urban S31 has a brushed aluminum finish on the front door panel, covering the external drive bays while leaving the I/O ports accessible. Front I/O ports include two USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 Ports, and audio in and out jacks. There is also a 2.5”/3.5” HDD docking station on the top of the case, offering an easy way to swap hard drives. Both the 5.25” and 3.5” drive bays feature a tool-free design making the installation easy to accomplish. The Thermaltake Urban S31 has a cooling system made up of two preinstalled 120mm fans and plenty of optional mounting locations for additional cooling.
It is a return of the Switch 630 chassis, but this time it is silent. Have a look at the H630 and its newly designed exterior in our full review.
Les bons boitiers Micro ATX ne sont pas légion, et les rares exemplaires qui valent la peine sont souvent assez chers. Avec son N200, Cooler Master tente justement de nous en donner un maximum pour notre argent avec un boitier au format Micro ATX qui sera proposé à 39.90€. A découvrir sans plus attendre dans nos colonnes.
The Corsair Carbide Series Air 540 is a mid-tower case which is designed to provide maximum airflow across your mainboard components. The Air 540's dimensions are 415mm x 332mm x 458mm which actually make the case cube shaped. The Corsair Air 540's two compartments are separated by a motherboard tray. The left side which is used to house all the components that attach to your motherboard as well as three pre-installed 140mm fans (two for intake and one for exhaust) and two Hot Swappable bottom mounted 3.5/2.5"HDD/SSD caddies. The right side behind the motherboard tray has plenty of room for cable management it will also accommodate up to a 200mm Power Supply has a removable 4 bay SSD tray and will hold up to 2 5.25" drives. This is not where the versatility ends by removing the front 140mm fans the Carbide Series Air 540 can hold up to a 360mm radiator as well as a 240mm radiator at the top. The Air 540 is constructed of steel and plastic and much to our surprise it was not very heavy even with a full build.
We get more than our fair share of high end components here at eTeknix and while I’m sure many of you love reading the reviews of the more extreme end of the market, the truth is that most people spend on a much lower budget. There is a huge market for a rock solid budget solution out there and more often than not many system builders opt for the cheapest chassis they can fit their components into, often using what budget they do have to go towards their graphics cards, processor and other internal components. For the most part, there is nothing wrong with that, you get a powerful system and a neat enough box to bolt it all together, but times are changing and cheap isn’t what it used to be.
It doesn’t seem all that many years ago that a cheap case meant something that was stamped out of tin cans, rattled like crazy any time a fan was powered up and you had to take a Dremel to it just to fit something new in there, in fact more often than not you can still pick up scrap heaps like this in the sub £30 categories at most online retailers… although I would suggest you don’t! So what is the cheapest chassis on the market? Well lets just say that £30 about as low as you should ever go and there are plenty of top brand names out there with offerings in this range, Antec, Coolermaster, In Win, Sharkoon, all have great budget models, but the one were looking at today is the N200 from Coolermaster and at £35 it’s certainly cheap.
