Today we’ll be looking at one of Raidmax’s latest cases, the Seiran. It’s available in a multide of colors and offers superior cooling and flexibility for those with multiple drives. The case keeps up to par with the latest cases by including USB 3.0, SSD support, cable management, and tool-free installation methods. Read on further to see what else this case has in store.
Lian Li has been known for building sleek and sexy cases with simple aesthetics that make them a fit in almost any situation for many years now. Don't get me wrong, Lian Li has also had some designs for BTX and even designed cases to look like either a Hotel or a seashell, but in the realm of squared off cases, most of what Lian Li sells now is pretty straight forward designs, built from aluminum and deliver a very sleek and sexy finished product to grace your computing space. It just so happens that there is a new face on the design team, so new and intriguing designs are now rolling off the line at Lian Li.
Like just about any mid-tower chassis on the market, the design in simple - blow air through the front past the hard drives and into the main compartment of the PC. Once there it mixes with heated air from the coolers and usually is evacuated out of the back. At Lian Li, they thought, well what happens if we reverse the airflow of the case? While they were at it, not only did the airflow get reversed, but so does the interior layout. In this new chassis the installation is setup so that the rear I/O of the motherboard is now in the front of this chassis. I know it really must sound confusing, but as the review progresses, the design and layout is much easier to wrap your mind around.
Phanteks, que l'on connait très bien pour ses solutions de refroidissement, se lance donc dans le boitier PC avec un premier modèle, le Enthoo Primo. Un boitier qui ne fait pas dans la demi-mesure pour un premier essai. Que nous réserve ce nouveau venu plutôt haut de gamme ? Réponse dans ce nouvel article.
Taking a close look at a globe, where would you end up on the other side of the world if you dug a tunnel straight down into the earth? Well, if you are situated in North America, you would end up pretty close to Australia. If you followed the traditional North American stereotype, you would end up in China; but this is only true if you started out in South America. So if you were to ever think of digging straight through the earth's core from our APH Networks office located in Calgary, ending up in Australia would not be a big surprise. As mentioned in the G.SKILL Sniper F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR2 2x4GB reviewed by my colleague Jonathan just recently, everything done in North America is done the right way, whether it be driving on the right side of the road, getting names of our political parties correctly, and the constant of gravity being 9.81 meters per second squared. Why would I be bringing up this topic again? Well, recently, Cooler Master has sent us a very special case for us here at APH Networks to take a closer look at, and it is no other than the Elite 371 with an upside-down logo. Before you frantically scroll down, I must say that in Australia, where everything is done upside-down and backwards, the Elite 371 gives me a slight hunch that it came from Australia indeed. But having reviewed so many products from Cooler Master, we know that their products come from their main office down from the good ol' US of A. So this question now stands: Is Cooler Master trying to fool us with one of their cases from Australia California? Or have they come up with a perfect budget case for their money-wise consumers? Read on to find out!
Silverstone have one of the most unique chassis ranges on the market, their ability to fit high end systems into compact and well engineered chassis designs seems endless and they’re never far from a new space saving idea, or sleek new design for their small form factor ranges. Not to sell them short of course as Silverstone also create some incredible chassis that are anything but small, such as the RV01 which we recently reviewed. Yet it’s the little ones that I enjoy the most, they’re definitely Silverstone’s strong point and the chassis I’m looking at today has been on my wanted list since I first saw it at CES 2013.
The SG10 is part of Silverstone’s SUGO Series and for those of you who are thinking it looks a little familiar, that’s because I actually reviewed something pretty similar earlier this year, it’s younger sibling the SG09. While some may see this as a revision, that’s not really true and Silverstone have given the SG10 a few new design touches that (judging by the picture above) set it far apart from the SG09 in terms of design and build quality.
The small form factor market has seen a big revival in the last year or so and while some people may argue that it never went away in terms of chassis designs, there is no doubt that manufacturers are investing in creating better, high end, compact components such as new m-atx and m-itx motherboards, integrated solutions, APU’s, slim graphics cards and more that are perfect for smaller form factor systems. Not everyone has room for a full-tower system, not everyone wants one. There is a big market for the very small and there are plenty of solutions out there for people who want a space saving office solution, a compact and sleek HTPC or something that can be picked up and taken with you to LAN gaming events, so lets take a look at the SG10 and see just what it has to offer.
We noticed two distinct directions in this round-up of 12 micro-ATX chassis, not in terms of market positioning, but more in terms of philosophy. The micro-ATX chassis from Chieftec, Cooler Master and Spire are clearly budget products. They're made out of thin steel, have a low-quality finish and virtually non-existent cooling. It's not all bad news, however. Fractal Design and Silverstone have proven that a micro-ATX chassis can also be really high-quality. The Core1000 from Fractal Design is not only very affordable, but has a quality finish, lots of expansion options and cools very effectively. The Silverstone Fortress FT03 came out on top, combining a unique design with modern connectors, easy installation and outstanding performance.
Since 1990 ABS Computer Technologies has been one of the largest system integrators building high end solutions for customers who need the highest performance machines with the most reliable components. ABS also has a line of components for those who like to build their own systems, and today we look at one of those components, the Tigas super tower chassis.
Roughly 5 years ago if someone had asked about my opinion regarding the future of PCs I’d never have imagined that 5 years later everything would start to miniaturize for the sake of progress. It's true that up until this day that i type these lines high-end, enthusiast and enterprise-grade systems are not limited in size in any way but from the somewhat recent announcement by Intel stating that they too will focus all their resources in shrinking everything i don't think that time will take long to come and whether or not that "evolution" will turn out to be a good thing only time can tell. However people who wish to have a small PC that can fit even under their TV set need not wait for that time since mini-ITX and micro-ATX mainboards are already half the size of normal ATX ones (and even smaller compared to XL-ATX/EATX) without really lacking much in terms of performance. The only real issue so far has been the limited number of micro-ATX/mini-ITX cases available that can actually take full advantage of what high-end mainboard models have to offer but Cooltek with their latest Coolcube MAXI aims to change that.
Digging into the history of where this new chassis received its name, I found that there were actually two of these buildings. Here comes a bit of history! The original building was erected under a commission from Marcus Agrippa as a temple to Mars and Venus in 27 BC, but was burned down in 80 AD, and again in 110AD by lightning. Some years later, Emperor Hadrian commissioned the building which we see today. The new temple construction was to now worship all the gods of ancient Rome. The building is of course the Pantheon which has stood the test of time for near two whole centuries.
