Most computer enthusiasts have only a single card in their systems: the video card. That being true, most of us could easily get by with a micro ATX motherboard in a small form factor case. But there are those who have multiple video cards, or water cooling setups with separate reservoirs and pumps; who have lots of hard drives and 5.25" bay devices, or need an XL-ATX motherboard to run a triple or quad video card system. They may represent a tiny section of the market, but they need a full tower case, and Cooler Master's shown before they're willing to address this need with cases like their HAF series. In this review, Benchmark Reviews looks at their latest full tower effort: the Cooler Master Storm Trooper.

It's easy to build a great computer case if it's going to retail for $250 or more. Actually, I take that back: judging by some of the cases I've seen, maybe it's not that easy! While a high retail price is no guarantee of quality or usability, it's certainly more of a challenge to come out with a really great case at the $100 price level... but that's not going to stop Corsair from trying. In this article, Benchmark Reviews tests the Corsair Carbide 400R computer case.

What do you look for in a case and what is the most you are willing to spend? Today's case isn't exactly high end and to match that it doesn't have all of the features and extras you would expect if you were shelling out cash in the €100+ range. System builders and budget gamers this one is for you, Thermaltake have released the Spacecraft VF-I Mid-Tower PC Case model VN60001W2Z and online retailers are listing it between €50~€65 and Benchmark Reviews has got an early peek at it. For that price you get a sturdy little case with a small side window, tool free drive mounting, removable air intake filters, room for video cards up to 320mm long, room for CPU coolers up to 168mm tall and also room for a 120.2 (240mm) watercooling radiator in the roof. This should prove to be an interesting review so please read on.

Thermaltake has a large number of chassis lines, but it's time to welcome another: Chaser. The first model, MK-1, features a bold, gamer-esque design and borrows many cues from the Level 10 GT. It features an HDD dock, a headphone holder, and tons of cooling capacity. At $150, is this a full-tower that should top your list?

Today we are going to look at the Raidmax Blackstorm Mid-Tower case which is designed to make it as easy as possible for system installation. It has some very interesting features which we haven’t seen before on a mid tower case such as the motherboard tray integrated into a fold-down side panel. We will be looking at this in more detail and seeing if it’s any good and if it’s worth the hefty £75 price tag.

Thermaltake faisait sensation en lançant le Level 10, un boitier original conçu en partenariat avec une équipe de designers de chez BMW. Ce modèle au look singulier ne ressemblait alors à rien de ce que nous avions pu voir jusque-là. Son exclusivité ne résidait pas seulement dans ce design, elle se trouvait également dans le prix de l’engin qui avoisinait les 800€ lors du lancement ; look exclusif et prix exorbitant donc pour cette œuvre tirée à 1000 exemplaires seulement. Mais en ce début d’année, la marque taïwanaise s’est mise à penser aux plus riches des moins riches d’entre nous en proposant une version low-cost (entendez par là moins cher, mais p as forcément au rabais !) de ce boitier hors normes. La version light porte le doux nom de Level 10 GT et reprend un design relativement proche du Level 10, en perdant certaines originalités, mais en gagnant quelques améliorations au passage. Alors ce modèle dans sa version Snow Edition vous laissera-t-il de glace ?

Almost 2 years ago, XL-ATX set out to be the defining standard for enthusiast grade motherboards. Some early successes came about since EVGA and Gigabyte released boards using the standard, but it never became mainstream. With that said, today we get to look at another XL-ATX case design for gamers with the Rosewill Thor v2; which is an update to the original Thor that we reviewed back in March 2011.

The external hard drive market has been long established and heavily saturated. In order to succeed a company must do something different or else risk falling into line with the hundreds of other virtually identical products. Does the HornetTek Defender have what it takes to stand out from the crowd?

If you are looking for a small form factor case to take to LAN parties or just to save space, the Thermaltake Armor A30 is a great option. It has the features that are needed in an enthusiast level case, including a USB 3.0 port, SSD support, room for multiple hard drives, a removable motherboard tray, and even support for long video cards.

Corsair now brings forth the latest series of cases with the newly released Carbide Series to follow the Graphite and Obsidian series cases before this. Looking to Corsair to get a little background information on this new series, I gathered a couple of things that stood out to me. In their videos of the new Carbide cases from Computex 2011, George made two points very clear.
