NZXT has just announced the Phantom, a full-tower case with tons of exciting features that will reach the market in September with a suggested price of USD 140 in the USA. Let's see whether you should consider buying it or not.
In recent years there has been a steady increase in the number of case forms that are available on the market andthis is driven by the end user trends. Going back a few years, HTPC and small form factor (SFF) cases were rarely seen and those that did exist on the market were expensive in comparison to the mainstream options. As time has gone on and we come forward to where we are today, the market has become more diluted with the different shapes, sizes and styles of cases - ranging from the m-ATX options which pack as much as they can into as little space as possible right upto the E-ATX cases that have enough room to fit hypothetically more than one system into.
In the more recent years and with the digital age now more mainstream than ever, personal computers are used more and more for home entertainment centres. This has in itself opened up a whole new new sector to the HTPC market, in the past a HTPC was typically a low power machine that played video content with out any real demand placed on the system. The modern HTPC however demands more with the streamlining of high definition content. No longer will a budget all in one board with onboard graphics cut the mustard. Discrete graphics are being called for and this poses a problem with a majority of HTPC designs that can only occupy low profile expansion cards.
Today we get the chance to look at Silverstone's new Alpha male in their Grandia HTPC line up, the GD06. As with the majority of the Grandia range the design has been fine tuned and refined to give the best performance and design, improving what the consumer needs & likes and taking out what they don't - such as the small LCD panel on the front.
Today, we are reviewing the Bitfenix Shinobi PC Chassis. One of the most important factors when undertaking a custom PC build is the design and functionality of the chassis itself. It sets the tone for the build to come, and for some, even dictates specifically which components are needed to match the case. It is the centerpiece of any build, and more importantly, a part that you will always look at first before anything else. A conscious decision is needed and this, the chassis, raises a few questions.
The Chaser MK-I is a full-tower case from Thermaltake with several additional features, such as a headset holder, an HDD/SSD docking bay, "colorshift" fans, and more. Let's check it out.
The latest addition to Thermaltake's Armor series of cases is a compact model targeted to high-end small form factor (SFF) computers. Let's see if the A30 is a good pick.
Cooler Master ha da poco presentato il nuovo successore del Centurion 5 e come avrete capito oggi lo Staff di Xtremehardware.com andrà a recensire per voi il Centurion 6. Il nuovo case middle tower si aggiorna nel design esterno e nel layout interno rimanendo però fedele allo stile della linea Centurion. Il target del Centurion 6 è la fascia media del mercato, coniugando robustezza e qualità Cooler Master, per soddisfare l'utenza ad un prezzo equilbrato.
NZXT is surely getting a good reputation in bringing to the market inexpensive cases with lots of features only seen on more expensive models. The original Beta, for example, costs only USD 50, with the new Beta EVO costing USD 60. Let's see what are the differences between the two.
The new Element G is a high-quality steel mid-tower case from Thermaltake, bringing interesting features such color-changing fans. Let's take a look on this new case.
KitGuru has probably looked at more of Arctic’s products than any other brand since we started out. We can’t say that any of their products have failed to impress with many winning our most sought after awards.
Das Thermaltake kein unbeschriebenes Blatt im Gehäuse Bereich ist, ging in letzter Zeit ein wenig unter. Der einstige "Pionier" in diesem hat aber mit neuen Kreationen wie dem Core V71 oder Urban T81 einige interessante Neuvorstellungen an den Start gebracht. Erst vor kurzem überzeugte das Core X2 als Wasserkühlung-Cube. Die letzte Hochburg, die des (Silent) High-End-Gehäuses soll nun mit dem brandneuen Suppressor F51 erklommen werden. Wie sich das geradlinig gestaltete Midi-Tower Gehäuse geschlagen hat, klärt der nachfolgende Testbericht.
