The M59 has been my first experience with an NZXT case and overall I was happy with it. While the looks are rather polarizing, the case was easy to work in and install aside from screwing in the motherboard standoffs. Cooling performance was surprisingly good with only two 120mm fans included and with room for up to three more it can only get better.
When presented with a chassis like Lian Li's PC-P50WB, it is very hard not to heap praise on it like a smitten middle school girl. There is, nevertheless, a hell of a lot to recommend this case. It looks good, has a fabulous feature set with many excellent tool-free elements and top shelf cooling.
Fractal Design is releasing a new version of their Arc Midi mid-tower case, dubbed the Arc Midi R2. The first version received our "Golden Award." Let's see what is new and if the revamped model also deserves our recommendation.
During COMPUTEX 2013 CORSAIR introduced a few new enclosures, the Carbide 330R and the 450 AIR version. While the first is more a refinement of exiting designs, the new 450 AIR sports a revolutionary design for mass production cases. The concept behind this case is that the case is divided in two halves. One side houses the mainboard, graphic card and cooling devices; in the second compartment installation of the SSD and optical drives and power supply is foreseen, thus the airflow is maximized for the hotter running components of your favourite hardware. The big custom made cube cases, in particular the UFO series from Mountain Mods are the foundation for these particular multi-compartment designs. However CORSAIR seems to have pulled it off to bring this design to the masses at a fraction of the cost.
This is the kind of case designed for someone who wants to build a computer fast, make changes without hassle, and even kick it around a little. The HAF can take it. But it's not for someone looking to show off anything but the games the machine inside it plays.
It's such a tough market at the moment with the big boy market leaders producing very similar products. Most cases of today are aimed at the gamer in mind whereas some are aimed at the consumer with a bit too much money.

Seit 2010 bietet BitFenix nun schon Gehäuse an. Eines der ersten Modelle war das Colossus, das bereits in unserem Test überzeugen konnte. Sukzessive wurde das Portfolio im Folgenden ausgebaut und mit dem Prodigy stößt der Hersteller in das mITX-Segment vor. Wer unsere Tests in der Vergangenheit aufmerksam verfolgt hat, wird bei diesem Gehäuse Parallelen zum Cubitek Mini-Tank erkennen können. Aber eines sei schon an dieser Stelle gesagt: BitFenix hat sich Gedanken darum gemacht, wie das Konzept verbessert werden kann, und wie das Ganze aussieht, haben wir uns angesehen.

Full tower cases are usually needed by end users that needs tons of storage capacity. Or by watercooling fanatics that need adequate space to house all of their huge radiators. Sometimes you don't have any option besides to go for a full tower case, as your motherboard's size is out of proportions. A few of those particular motherboards might be Intel's Skulltrail, eVGAs SR2/3 motherboards or even eg Gigabyte's X58 UD9. Due to their XXXL ATX size, only full towers need to apply for the job. Todays Elysium is Xigmateks high end full tower chassis, ready to take on any big size motherboard you throw at it. Fully ready to be fitted with your favorite watercooling gear.
