Die Technik wird zunehmend kleiner und kompakter, Gehäuse im „Small Form Factor“ nehmen diesen Trend auf. Chieftec bietet mit dem IX-01B ein kleines Desktop-Gehäuse für 20 Euro.
We have another funky little chassis in the eTeknix office today, and while it was only a couple of weeks ago that we took a look at the truly epic H-Frame from InWin, we now have something a little smaller, lighter and less expensive, the H-Frame Mini. The mITX sibling of the Aluminium monster that is the H-Frame looks set to offer a similar design ethic, but with a much reduced footprint, making it ideal for those short of space or in need of something more portable.
mITX has undergone a rebirth this last year, with mITX chassis proving more and more popular we have seen hardware manufacturers put out some of the greatest small components, especially when it comes to motherboards and APUs that are capable of giving smaller form factors some impressive graphics performance. Yet much of the attention goes towards the larger mITX chassis such as the BitFenix prodigy, but there is a market out there that wants all the premium build quality and design they can get in a much smaller form factor.
InWin look set to deliver to those who want such a design, giving the H-Frame Mini an aluminium and tempered glass finish, something that goes a long way to explaining the price tag of £161.99. That is expensive for something this small but it does features an integrated 180w PSU, and if the build quality is anything like that of the £260 H-Frame (full size) then it may not be such a bad deal after all. So lets get right to it and see just what this chassis has to offer.
Cari lettori di Xtremehardware, oggi vi presentiamo la recensione del nuovissimo case Mid Tower in casa Cooler Master, la terza revisione di una fortunatissima serie. Stiamo parlando del CM 690 III! Il predecessore è stato un must buy per molte ragioni, ed una versione che ha avuto quindi un forte successo commerciale. Cooler Master è sempre stata molto attenta a rilasciare prodotti fortemente competitivi nelle fasce di prezzo, ed in questo caso ve ne darà l’ennesima dimostrazione. La recensione, oltre ad essere scritta, sarà corredata da un video dimostrativo e dalla solita, nostra, analisi termica. Il nostro nuovo format è impegnativo sotto il punto di vista editoriale, però siamo certi che questo sforzo teso al miglioramento dei contenuti possa esservi sia d’aiuto, sia gradito. Buona lettura.
Today we take a look at the limited edition release of the wonderful Enermax Ostrog. I’ve always been a fan of this case so I’m happy to see Enermax haven’t given up on it yet. The product originally came to market about a year ago now and what better way to spark some new life into the range than to bring it out in a new colour, because it never hurts to have more choice when your on the market for a new chassis.
The big difference here is that the limited edition release is pink, not your typical colour choice for a limited edition and while I’m sure many won’t be interested in such a product, I bet there are plenty out there that will. Many will be thinking “ahh a case for girls” but nope, not really, lets not be stereotypical about the colour pink here, well not too much anyway!
The standard edition of the Ostrog comes in at just £45, a nice mid market price range and about in line with the competition when looking at specifications. The Limited Edition isn’t available at a lot of places just yet, but I wouldn’t expect to pay more than £50 for the pink model.
As you can see from the spec, the chassis has room for a reasonable amount of storage and cooling, more than enough for any mid to high end gaming system. The only thing that concerns me is that there is only one fan pre-installed, but we’ll take a look at that further in a few minutes.
Technic3D hat das Cooler Master 690 III Gehäuse im Test. Das 690 existiert mittlerweile in der dritten Auflage und wurde im Innenraum gründlich überarbeitet. Ob die Neuauflage im Test überzeugen kann, steht im folgenden Artikel.
When one is considering what chassis to use for their home theater or server build, a lot of factors come into play. In the past a traditional home theater PC build contained a small or desktop (horizontal) style chassis to help blend in with the AV stack, but that has evolved as the demands for storage and silence--as well as big screen PC gaming--has grown in importance. The Fractal Design Define XL R2 does not fit under the SFF category, as it is a full size ATX with tons of bells and whistles. The attraction for our needs is that the Define XL R2 does not sacrifice noise nor aesthetics to achieve its mission. Suitable for either the living room or closet (although what a shame that would be as it is quite attractive), we will be analyzing the merits of it to see if it is suitable of a person with more than your average HTPC needs.
BitFenix is a fairly new name to the enthusiast case market, however their cases have been getting a lot of attention as providing great cases for budget builders. Their main focus is on building high quality enthusiast grade cases, offering a multitude of features while keeping the price down. The case that we are looking at today from BitFenix is called Ronin. Ronin features a dark, stealthy design with wide hardware compatibility to suit your ever changing gaming rig.
If there is one area of the PC world that is difficult to release something unique in, it would be cases. While it might seem that the possibilities are limitless, the truth is there are a very tight set of requirements to which builders must conform. These guidelines result in manufacturers churning out case after case that are essentially the same thing. Sure they may add this plastic bit here, or convert something else to be more tool less there, but at the core they are the same. This has had both positive and negative effects. The case mod scene comes from the desire for individuality in this sea of indistinguishable parts and has resulted in some impressive builds. However, many are left building their machines within the strict confines allowed by their cases. Fortunately for those of us looking for something unique and appropriate there are still some companies thinking outside the box. Today we will take a close look at the Phanteks Enthoo Primo full tower case and see if Phanteks is one of these companies.
Cooler Master’s HAF Stacker 935 modular case system is an innovative new entry in the computer case market. Enthusiasts can configure the multiple, stackable “modules” of this system to build the ideal enclosure for their system (or systems). Whether it’s providing storage for water cooling or extra drives, or just housing multiple systems in a compact space, the HAF Stacker system is versatile enough to handle pretty much anything you can throw at it. Cooler Master calls these new cases a mod tower expandable system and says they’re a better case ecosystem.
Après les 820 et 630, c'est donc le Phantom 530 qui s'arrête quelques heures à la Ferme pour sa séance de thérapie. Cette nouvelle déclinaison de ce boitier ô combien mythique se doit de faire aussi bien que les deux autres modèles, qui marquaient un renouveau dans la gamme de NZXT. Découvrons cela sans plus attendre.
