Diablotek has sent us over another case for review, this one is called the Abyss and it’s mid tower case yes, but it’s also what’s considered a budget case as it’s rather inexpensive. The Abyss I got for review is all white inside and out with plenty of room for large video cards and a few hard drives. The case comes ready for USB 3.0 and even water cooling if you want to go that route. It’s not a bad case overall but it does have a few flaws…

Fractal Design, ein noch recht junger schwedischer Hersteller für Computerzubehör, hat in der Vergangenheit mit schlichten, gut durchdachten Gehäusen auf sich aufmerksam gemacht. Wir haben dieses Mal das Fractal Design Define Mini Gehäuse im Test. Der Mini-Tower versucht mit einem durchdachten Kühlungskonzept, einer Geräuschdämmung sowie einem schlichten Erscheinungsbild den Kunden zu überzeugen. Ob dies gelungen ist, erfahrt ihr im folgenden Test. Viel Spaß beim Lesen!

The Cooler Master ATCS 840 case is one of the newest available from Cooler Master for enthusiasts. The aluminum construction not only allows for a lighter weight but complements the thermal design seamlessly with three 230mm fans, dedicated air duct for graphics card cooling and HDD cooling module for superb cooling. Take a look at the article and see if this full tower case and see if your wish list of features was fulfilled!

From start to finish the design of the Cooler Master HAF XM is top notch. There are no sharp edges, everything fits well together, nothing in it feel flimsy, and every detail that I could think of has been thought of in its design. If you're building a system with multiple video cards, hard drives, water cooling, and multiple optical drives, this case can handle it.

I find out if "low budget" means "miss out on the latest features" with the Asgard 381.

Lian Li est très certainement un des acteurs les plus actifs dans le Mini ITX, avec un très large choix de boitiers. Du cube à la petite tour en passant par le desktop, on trouve de tout. Aujourd'hui, on s'occupe d'un petit cube, ou une petite tour, on ne sait pas trop, qui vise plusieurs segments : le Gaming et le stockage. Le tout avec un design sobre, et un châssis rempli de bonnes idées.

I've never been fond of HTPC (mini-ITX) systems mainly because they offer very little in terms of performance so especially for someone in my line of work that's extremely important. Now as some of you know i do own a basic HTPC system (Intel ATOM/Nvidia ION) which i rarely use but the small enclosure it's housed in (Antec ISK3100-150) doesn't leave much space for anything else aside the mainboard, memory modules, an slim optical drive and a 2.5" hard disk drive. Of course there are quite a few larger HTPC cases in the market (such as the V353 by Lian-Li) that offer superior build quality and a more spacious interior for enthusiasts but the end result is not really that different mainly due to the design of the interior. Well Bitfenix seems to be aware of that issue and so just recently they launched their own HTPC (mini-ITX) solution, the quite impressive Prodigy.

Stillstand ist bekanntlich Rückschritt, diese etwas angestaubte aber immer noch gültige Weißheit hat sich Lian Li offensichtlich auf die frisch gereinigten Fahnen geschrieben, denn die Hatz nach dem ultimativen Aluminium Midi Tower geht bereits in die nächste Runde. Als Rezeptur diente diesmal das neue PC-B10 Gehäuse mit Frontklappe, wobei uns nach der jüngsten Vorstellung des PC-A71F Gehäuses diesbezüglich nichts gutes schwahnte.

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.
