A smaller less opposing version of the R3 arrives from Fractal Designs. As the name insinuates the Define Mini is just that, the kid brother of the Define R3.
Der Gehäusemarkt ist hart umkämpft und insbesondere im Preisbereich unter 50 Euro sieht man es vielen Modellen an, dass ihr Design mit dem Rotstift gezeichnet wurde. Auch der renommierte Hersteller Antec ist in diesem Segment mit einem Midi-Tower vertreten, welcher auf den schlichten Namen "One" hört.
Die Straßenpreise des Antec One beginnen aktuell bei ca. 47 Euro, doch was kann man dafür schon erwarten? Laut Antec ein modernes Gaming-Gehäuse mit USB 3.0, schwarzem Innenleben, großzügigen Kühlungsmöglichkeiten und einer werkzeuglosen Installation der Laufwerke. Zum Lieferumfang gehören zwei großformatige Lüfter und ein Adapter, mit dem sich die Frontanschlüsse auf USB 2.0 umrüsten lassen. Das klingt alles recht ordentlich, aber ist Antec auch die Umsetzung praxistauglich gelungen?
Have you ever been annoyed by people who have distorted tastes with regards to desirable versus undesirable noise? When a Ferrari 458 Italia whizzes by you on the highway, the sound of that fire pumping, heart thumping 562hp 4.5L V8 is simply music to your ears. Who cares if it uses a lot of fuel -- this is all about engineering brilliance that takes mechanical and aural perfection to a completely different level of what we call "awesome". On the other hand, when a diesel powered Ram 2500 that makes more noise than speed weaves in and out of traffic like an idiot on a municipal road, sometimes you wonder whether or not there is any hope left in humanity. But while there is a fine line between mechanical brilliance that people want to hear, and disgusting noises only a redneck could love, in the computer world, there are no distinguishable elements between what is desirable and undesirable component noise. Have you heard about anyone describing how amazing their GTX 570 sounds? Unless they are referring to its lack thereof, I haven't; and being a silent computer enthusiast and all, this is where all the points are collected. Here at APH Networks, we have covered all the recent major chassis entries for quiet computing, including the NZXT H2, Cooler Master Silencio 550, and the Fractal Design Define XL. But what is missing on the list is the 'regular' ATX version of the Define XL, and that is the Define R3. So for those who want a case designed for quiet computing, but don't have the space for an eATX case, how well does the Define R3 fit the bill? With one sitting on my desk next to me, let's just say you will not be disappointed.
The Fractal Design Arc Midi comes head first into the mid-tower PC case market. Some great things have been imported from Sweden over the last few years in pop culture. Fractal Design makes way to continue the trend in PC parts such as cases. Let's see how the Fractal Design Arc Midi holds up compared to others in the $100 USD price range.
Not every case fits every person’s needs, Cooler Master recognized that and set out to make a case that people can adjust to what they need. Say for example that you want to pack your PC full of water cooling gear or an absolute ton of hard drives. The HAF Stacker can handle that and nearly anything else you might want to do. For CES this year a case modder even turned multiple stackers into a life sized monster. Today I’m going to take a look at the HAF Stacker 935 and 915F, the 935 comes with two models giving us a total of three pieces to try out different options.
In this article, Benchmark Reviews will examine the Norco RPC-4020 4U rack mount server case. This case supports twenty data drives, plus a separate OS drive, and slim floppy and optical drives. With the density of hard drives available today that means you can stuff 42 Terabytes worth of data into a case roughly the size of a full-tower desktop case. If you're looking for a high density storage case, you'll be doing yourself a disservice not to check out this case.
Today we have the spiritual successor to the Lanbox in the Thermaltake eSports Armor A30 LAN Gaming Case. The Thermaltake VM70001W2Z Armor A30 Case supports Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX motherboards as well as high-end graphic cards up to 13” in length. With two 60mm, one 90mm blue LED and one 230mm blue LED fans, the Armor A30 should also provide enough cooling despite being only 10.5-inches tall and 18-inches deep.
Choosing the right PC Case for both my test rigs or for the systems i sometimes build for close friends is really the very last thing on my mind since naturally i need to have all the hardware components laid out in front of me prior to that (when you have an for example an very long GPU like the GeForce GTX 690 or an XL-ATX mainboard you can't/shouldn't squeeze them inside a small/midi tower). Now for good or bad the market is currently filled with all sorts of PC cases ment to cover all tastes and requirements (space and features wise) so the possibility of not finding a suitable one is almost nonexistent something which i can't say for even just a decade ago. Personally as some of you know i always like to use full tower PC Cases because they offer enough interior space to mount even the largest hardware components without having to spend much time in the process and that's why i can't wait until the latest Obsidian 900D by Corsair reaches our doorstep in a couple of weeks. However for people who care not about having a PC case with lots of interior space and are not willing to spend much cash for one the latest Challenger Midi Tower by Cougar might just be the ideal solution.
Today we have the pleasure of going over another chassis from SilverStone with a fine tooth comb. There have been previous models in the Grandia chassis segment, all designed to deliver an attractive solution to add to your living room or home theater. Over time SilverStone has seen what works and what doesn't, and in this example, being the current top dog in the lineup, the GD06 has a little bit of everything while doing away with things like a tiny LCD you couldn't see across the room anyways.
Cases these days come in a lot of different varieties and usually aim for either aesthetics or superior thermal properties. The PS05 midtower case from SilverStone is their new budget model. This model seems to be aimed at the entry level enthusiast on a budget looking for flexibility in how they put together a build. It is a midtower case with a bottom-mounted PSU. The PS05 is part of their Precision Series which brings thoughtful details from high-end chassis designs that are usually left out of entry level models. Items such as the all black interior, cable tie-down spots and vibration dampening hard drive mounts are all part of this model’s selling points.
