The Cubitek brand isn’t one I was familiar with even though they were founded in 2002. They were initially founded as an OEM/ODM business model but in the spring of 2010 they reorganized to be able to become a branded manufacturer. That translates to them being a newer player in the market and perhaps I haven’t been remiss in not noticing them until now. Their philosophy of "Build something we would want to buy at a price we would want to pay” certainly speaks to me. Today we are going to take a look at their Tattoo Pro mid-tower offering and see if it lives up to that claim.
NZXT are a fairly new name for us at eTeknix as it's only been recently that we've had the opportunity to look at their products. We started off taking a look at their Avatar S mouse recently which we found to be attractive and feature rich so naturally we're hoping that they have developed their cases in the same manner.
Australia -- what a glorious country. I may be biased in my observations, but no one can deny its epicness: Riding kangaroos to work, having a conservative political party called "Liberals", celebrating Christmas in the summer, and having everything in general upside down are just a few things to mention. As truly nice as Australia is to live in, we are often hard done by hardware and software vendors who delay release of their products compared to the release dates in the United States. Take Apple's range of mobile devices, for example. They have only recently begun to release the iPhone and iPad worldwide on the same date. How about Microsoft? Same deal with Windows retail boxes appearing in stores months after their stateside release. Same again with most Android phones getting released in East Asia or Europe before Australia. But not all is futile. Take Cubitek, for example. Their XL Tank chassis was released in most major worldwide markets at the same time, Australia included. So we were really excited to have the chance of reviewing one of these cases in our Sydney office, for the first APH Review, Australian Edition! However, before moving on to the review itself, I would like to point out an unfortunate incident. You know, as Australia is well known for being the upside-down land and all (Both geographically and culturally), it's only natural that I have encountered some "technical difficulties" with some of my photography. But never fear; said issues were pretty much ironed out after the first photo. Let's move on and see what we found!
Fancy a gamer case with LEDs, huge spinning fans with lasers and glow strips, elaborate colours, side windows, big plastic front panels? Go read another review then. This is one for the enthusiasts, the professionals and the silence nazis. The Coolermaster Silencio 550, a sleek, black chassis with thick sound proofing foam on the side panels; let’s check it out.
When selecting the perfect chassis to serve content to the audio/video stack a different set of attributes is required than what is typically demanded from a home theater PC (HTPC) enclosure. The ideal server must be able to scale to support multiple hard drives, keep everything cool and not sound like a shop-vac in the process. With eight 3.5” hard drive trays, seven fan mounts, sound absorbing material included and a convenient layout Fractal Designs’ Define R3 enclosure looks good, and has the specifications to warrant consideration.
Certains utilisateurs sont de véritables fous furieux, et exploitent des configurations totalement dantesques. Mais pour exploiter une configuration de ce type, style Quad SLI avec très grosse CM, il faut absolument avoir un boitier adapté, bien souvent en E-ATX et disposant de 10 slots d'extension. Mais voilà, ce type de boitier n'est pas si commun, et quand on en trouve un, il faut se séparer d'un rein. Xigmatek, avec son Elysium, veut changer la donne, avec un produit qui se veut plutôt attractif et très bien équipé. Pari tenu ?

Das PC-C50 ist ein noch recht junges HTPC-Gehäuse aus dem Hause Lian Li. Entsprechend verfügt es über zeitgemäße Ausstattungsmerkmale wie USB 3.0-Anschlüsse und ein vergleichsweise leistungsfähiges Kühlsystem mit bis zu fünf 120-mm-Lüftern. Das hochwertige Aluminiumgehäuse wollen wir in unserem Test vor allem gegen den direkten Konkurrenten von SilverStone, das Grandia GD06, antreten lassen.
Für unseren heutigen Artikel haben wir wieder einmal ein Gehäuse von Cooler Master genauer unter die Lupe genommen. Diesmal sehen wir uns das HAF X, ein Gaming- Gehäuse, etwas näher an. Angesichts unseres Cooler Master-Roundups aus dem Jahr 2009 mit drei Gehäusen des Hersteller, in welchem das HAF Mini den hausinternen Vergleich für sich entscheiden konnte, waren unsere Erwartungen natürlich dementsprechend hoch. Das HAF Mini konnte damals bei den Temperaturmessungen die hauseigene Konkurrenz in die Schranken weisen, musste bei den Lautstärkemessungen aber eine herbe Schlappe einstecken. Hat Cooler Master an diesem Kritikpunkt nachgebessert und welche Features neben USB 3.0 erwarten uns sonst noch beim HAF X? Wir werden es auf den folgenden Seiten erfahren.
Today we are going to look at building a compact, stylish system based on Intel's Z68 chipset in ITX form (The Zotac Z68-ITX) and the Core i3-2100.
