NZXT has manufactured a good case and after some modification, Hades has found a place to call home with this reviewer. Beautifully sculpted and outrageous airflow for $89.99 US is astounding. I'd recommend this case to anyone looking for cutting edge styling, great airflow and nice cable management features as long as you don't use liquid cooling and/or a large heat sink as the case will not close.

"The board is definitely original, but at the same time practical enough for a home theater. It has a complete set of peripheral interfaces, high-quality integrated audio, up-to-date graphics core, and, finally, a universal remote."

Today we will take a look at AMD:s newest consumer class quadcore processor, the AMD Athlon II X4 635. With Athlon II X4 series you get quadcore cpu for around 100$. Let's see how this performs against a little more expensive AMD Phenom series.

Many of the computer cases these days include an array of features that typically make it a bit more difficult to pick the "better" of the bunch from the very large choice. The choice for many comes down to the external aesthetics because the bigger and better cases tend to all have superb cooling, removable motherboard trays and tool less designs. If you like a classic looking brushed aluminum design and three whopping 230mm fans sounds like a good combination of the two, then you should have a look at Cooler Master's ATCS 840.

If you're looking to build a truly compact, no nonsense mini-ITX system, the Mini-Box.com M350 universal mini-ITX enclosure is an excellent case to consider. Just slightly larger than a mini-ITX board itself, and only 62mm tall, you can't get much smaller in this form factor. And depending on the components you use inside, you may be able to build a completely silent system.

Getting your hands on the latest products is one thing, keeping them protected and dry is another. OtterBox™ has a product line that will help you do that. TechwareLabs takes a look at one of OtterBox's™ products called the 3500 Series

AZZA have taken a few steps away from what is considered conventional with the Solano 1000R (model: CSAZ-1000R) and gave it an extreme bright red interior. The AZZA Solano also boasts "maximum thermal management with fans installed everywhere" to keep your high end hardware cool. In sum, a total of two 230mm fans, two 140mm fans and one 120mm fan work in harmony to provide you maximum airflow. This full tower case supports E-ATX, ATX, and Micro ATX motherboards and the thumb screw design allows for easy installation of seven PCI expansion cards. A plethora of drive bays, including up to ten 5.25" and eight 3.5" bays, allow you to grow your system over time. All the bays have a thumb screw design for easy assembly as well.

Today we have a review with one of XClio's mid tower cases, priced at $80. This case is targeted at both the average and the hardcore gamer, XClio attempts to hit multiple markets with their 'Nighthawk'. The Nighthawk features support for up to 8 HDD's using their unique 'smart modulation system,' and also supports full size video cards, including ATI's new beast; the 5970.

The old adage reminds us that a picture is worth a thousand words, so a video has got to be worth millions of words. The trouble is trying to find a suitable video editing program on the PC that is simultaneously easy-to-use yet robust enough to give you all sorts of flexibility and features. In my quest to become the next James Cameron or Martin Scorsese, I had the opportunity to give Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Collection a try. Version 14.0 is supposed to bring several enhancements over previous editions, but will it help me film the next Avatar?

Looking for a good enclosure for your 3.5" hard drive? Yeah we all been there. Now a days there are an unlimited number of enclosures on the market which makes it really hard to compete amongst. Ineo Technologies are in that market and doing fairly well. Their approach to the market is trough business look and feel of their products.

Low profile cards are not the most easy thing to come by especially in the video card area. Sapphire has just released the Radeon HD 5450 and it comes with low profile brackets. This is the card to use in a HTPC once the drivers for GPGPU get settled. Read our preview to get our thoughts.

The new model from MSI is a special edition based on Intel´s latest Pinetrail platform to celebrate the sale of one million 10-inch U100 Wind netbooks.The special edition is available in either blue or red.

"If you’ve not heard of Synology before, it’ll probably be because they only make NAS devices (for home and office), and you’ve not really looked into any. The reason I say you won’t have looked into any, is because Synology are quite a big name in the NAS world, so you’d have been hard pressed to miss them."

"HIS has done a great job of releasing a feature-filled HD5750 option for the mild gaming consumer to consider. With excellent cooling and an included free DX11 game, this HD5750 for US$155 can be summed up against other HD5750s as being one of the best options available."

This past fall, AMD launched its latest graphics generation with the high-end HD 5870, and today, it looks to the opposite end of the spectrum with its $50 HD 5450. Though inexpensive, the HD 5450 has a surprising amount of spunk. Coupled with its passive design and full media capabilities, it looks to be the ideal solution for your HTPC.

There are several things to consider when building a new system and your choice in memory can have a profound impact on system performance. Needless to say, choosing the right module is rather important. Ideally you want the fastest module you can afford, but speed goes beyond the rating on the package.

Just when I thought they had finished cutting halves, ATI has taken the 40nm Cypress architecture to a new low. Low power, that is. In a brand new design, unlike anything they have released with this architecture, ATI is going after the Home Theater PC market with their heat sinks blazing. OK, I exaggerate; the Radeon HD5450 video card actually runs pretty cool, which is the point, really. It's silent, too, with a large and lovely red heatsink sitting atop the tiny GPU, sans fan. Follow along with Benchmark Reviews as we investigate an early sample of ATI's new standard bearer for low-power HTPC applications.

The Technocel is a pretty handy device. It is capable of charging a wide variety of devices right out of the box. It has allowed me to extend the play time of my MP3 player and, for my friends, make a quick phone call when their original cellphone battery is already dead.

"Keeping the CPU cool is one of the most important part of any computer system. Keeping the air flowing in the case is also very important. Most CPU cooling fans are fast but also loud too. If you want to keep your computer cool and also quiet at the same time, then take a look at this Noctua NF-P14 FLX cooling fan."
