Nach den eher hochpreisigen Gehäusen aus der Obsidian und Graphite-Reihe versucht sich Corsair nun an einem lupenreinen Mittelklassemodell. Auf was man zugunsten des günstigeren Preises alles verzichten muss und ob das Carbide 400R Corsairs Erfolgsgeschichte im Gehäusebau fortsetzen kann, wird unser Test klären.
Lately the market has finally opened up, and in mid tower designs these days we can find cases that aren't going to break the bank and come very well equipped. It used to be that $100 might get you an Antec 900 case, and with that you got some cool hard drive cages and a bunch of airflow. The internal layout was very simplistic, wasn't painted, and your ears took a hammering from the noise level that come from inside the case. I really like the fact that manufacturers are realizing that buyers don't have a ton of expendable cash, and are actually trying to offer us some lower dollar products that still offer variations on things found in the much more expensive cases on the market.
While it's not perfect, Phanteks' first attempt at a desktop enclosure is an exceptional one. The design is unique and modern, the internal lay-out is both clever and flexible and Phanteks implemented a few interesting innovations. It basically contains about every single improvement we've seen in desktop chassis of the last few years. It's great that you get no less than five 14 cm case fans, as this is an area where many manufacturers like to cut corners. That means the Enthoo Primo is ready to use straight out of the box.
Fractal Design is releasing today the Define R4, a mid-tower case targeted to silent computing. Let’s take a look at it.
Today we have something very special in the office, the latest entry to the already well stocked flagship range of NZXT chassis. The H630 is set to take a place on the podium of desirable chassis and will be going along side products such as the Phantom 630, and the Switch 810, both of which rightly earned our eTeknix Editors Choice Award.
NZXT has long been one of my favourite chassis manufacturers, and I know I'm not alone on this one either, they have a loyal and enthusiast community around their brand and their products, you don't have to look far on forums and tech websites to see some incredibly powerful and customised gaming rigs, but you'll notice a large chunk of them will be fitted into an NZXT chassis.
The Phantom range is loud an in many ways obnoxious with it's flashy lighting, huge panels, big windows and robust cooling systems, it's also pretty expensive too with models such as the Phantom 820 still costing around £200, yikes! Yet it is focused on the extreme performance end of the market. Then we have the Switch range, which offers many of the features of the Phantom range, but in a more refined and sleeker design, yet its still quite loud in terms of design and it's main focus is performance and style, with a price tag of around £140 it's also quite expensive, especially compared to rival brands premium models. So where does the H620 fit in?
"Beautifully architected, the new H630 was engineered for one simple purpose: provide enthusiasts the ability to build the highest performing systems while remaining audibly invisible."
There are two words that often don't go together in the PC market, extreme performance and silence, it's hard to get the maximum level of performance from your hardware without something (relatively) noisy to keep it cool, be that a fan, a radiator or both, either way, cooling is very important.
"Ushering in a new era of silent, high performance systems, the NZXT H630 leads the industry with a high-density sound dampening design that doesn’t impede its cooling capabilities. Fully enclosed in steel and combined with an intelligent vent design to minimize intake noise, the H630 offers a sleek, jaw-dropping design that will leave you and your components speechless."
With a price tag of around £120, the promise of high end component compatibility, extreme cooling and all in a minimalist sound proofed chassis, NZXT could be about to embark on something very special indeed, so lets dive in and see just what it has to offer.
Technic3D hat das Phanteks Enthoo Evolv Gehäuse im Test. Das Evolv Micro-ATX-Case bietet einige Alleinstellungsmerkmale. Wie sich der kompakte Tower in der Praxis gibt, steht im folgenden Artikel.
BitFenix goes back to what got them first noticed - throwing in a fair bit of the Prodigy, you have a good idea about the Colossus Mini-ITX case.
The Overseer represents the VN700 Series and the influence of Thermaltake's popular eSPORT line is clearly visible in the design. The all black SECC steel case is accented with a touch of blue that matches the blue accent lighting extremely well.
Der Begriff High-End ist in aller Munde und wird leider bisweilen auch gerne mal überstrapaziert. Im Hause SilverStone will man nun statt leerer Worthülsen Taten sprechen lassen. Ob das gelingt und was das auf die Bezeichnung TJ11 getaufte Luxusgehäuse am Ende des Tages wirklich zu bieten hat, wird unser ausführlicher Test klären.
