The Storm Scout case was a success, but now Cooler Master has gone and refined it in many ways and released the CM Storm Scout 2. It's better.
I have reviewed many thousands of tech goodies over the last decade and only a handful of these have left a long lasting impact. These are the products that you get a ‘warm fuzzy glow’ about inside when you think back … I can still remember playing Tomb Raider at 640×480 with my 3DFX / Matrox Millennium system for instance. Apple’s first iPad was an iconic product. When i first listened to STAX 009 headphones, that was a life changing experience.
Benchmark Reviews evaluated the first CM Storm Scout gaming case when it was first released in 2009. Back then, it was a unique combination of form, function, and swagger. The built-in handle made it a natural for LAN parties, but the size and weight meant two things - you could pack in some serious hardware, and you needed serious muscles to carry it around. Perhaps surprisingly, that combination turned out to be very popular, and Cooler Master was encouraged to bring the basic design up to date after a few years. The 2012 version, called Scout 2, is better in almost every way. No major shifts in form or function occurred, and almost everything you liked about the original Scout has been updated and improved. Let's take a look at what the design team did with their second chance...
Fractal Design made a great impression on us last year with the debut of the Define R3 ATX chassis and its smaller sibling, the Define Mini Micro-ATX chassis. It is hard not to love a high-quality, well-built, sleek and unobtrusive chassis and these are all qualities the Define series of chassis exhibited to us. Not content to rest on its laurels, Fractal Design went back to the drawing board to come up with several enhancements to the design of the R3 with the new Define R4 ATX chassis. The main refinements offered by the Define R4 are larger and improved fans, a more flexible hard disk drive (HDD) cage, a wider case body for easier cable routing, additional mounting options for 2.5” SSDs, a new tool-less front fan holder, support for liquid cooling radiators, a new fan controller that is integrated with the front panel, and an additional USB 3.0 front panel port.
Corsair has really evolved over the past few years, not that long ago they only specialized in performance memory now it seems they have their hand in almost every component that goes inside your computer and many accessories as well. Corsair created their Vengeance line of products made for gamers and today we are taking a look at the first case to bare the Vengeance name, the C70. The Corsair Vengeance C70 gaming case is designed to look like an ammo box! Besides just the cool design it features three included 120mm fans, USB 3.0 support and quite a lot of room inside. Let’s take a look!
Technic3D hat das MS-Tech X4 Crow² PC-Gehäuse im Test. Das "X4 Crow" soll sich im High-End Segment etablieren. Wie das 100,00 Euro Gehäuse mit vielen externen Anschlussmöglichkeiten im Test abschneidet, steht im nachfolgenden Review.
Es ist schon einige Zeit her, genauer gesagt ein gutes Jahr, seit wir das letzte Gehäuse vom taiwanischen Premium-Hersteller Lian Li im Test hatten. Hier konnte die Gehäuseschmiede so gut wie immer mit qualitativ sehr hochwertigen Gehäusen aufwarten - diese Qualität hat jedoch auch seinen Preis. Im letzten Monat wurde das PC-V650, also der Nachfolger des V600, dem Publikum offiziell vorgestellt und trudelte trotz Zollproblemen fristgerecht auch bei uns in der Redaktion ein. Der kleine Midi-Tower ist im Vergleich zum Vorgänger etwas in die Breite gegangen, bietet ab Werk vier montierte Lüfter und unterstützt mit USB 3.0, 2.0 sowie dem Card-Reader viele verschiedene Speichertypen direkt im Frontpanel. Der komplett aus Aluminium gefertigte Tower bringt gerade einmal läppische 5 Kg auf die Waage und ist in zwei Farbvarianten, Schwarz und Silber, zu bekommen. Für Grafikkarten bietet das neue Gehäuse ausreichend Platz, ganze 370 mm sind dafür vorgesehen. Eng wird es jedoch beim CPU Kühler, denn beim V650 wird das Netzteil nun hochkant verbaut - nur so waren die kleineren Abmaße machbar. Hinein passen nun nur noch Kühler mit einer maximalen Höhe von 120 mm. Wir haben den "Neuen" für Euch mal etwas genauer unter die Lupe genommen und zeigen, was das kleine Case so alles zu bieten hat. Bei einem Preis von gut 180 Euro muss da natürlich schon einiges kommen....
