InWin X-Fighter | Posted on: 31/03/2009 @ 21:37
The futuristic sci-fi Star Wars films have influenced and inspired the design of In Win’s X-Fighter case with its triangular feet, geometric lines and steel and aluminium chassis. All this makes the X-Fighter into the ultimate spaceship but how will it fare at doing its job as a PC enclosure? The aesthetics certainly look great, so let’s see what the rest is like.
In Win NA eSATA & USB Enclosure | Posted on: 31/03/2009 @ 9:00
The In Win NA is a very stylish and unigue HDD enclosure. In Win has gone all out and included a porcelain plate as cover and hid the USB 2.0 and eSATA interface within the confines of the smooth white bowl.

Hornettek Travel Plus 2.5" SATA to USB External Enclosure | Posted on: 28/03/2009 @ 14:40
Have a spare 2.5†hard drive floating around? I've got a few of them and I've found they make nice, large capacity portable storage devices, but you'll need some sort of enclosure to make it usable really for portable storage. There are many on the market, I've reviewed several of them, but the one I've got today is one that I find I like quite a bit, it's from a new company called ...

Antec Fusion Remote Max | Posted on: 24/03/2009 @ 13:02
It’s been nearly a year since we reviewed Antec’s Fusion 430 – a similar HTPC case to this – which proved a very worthy HTPC enclosure. Since that case, Antec have improved on their Fusion range massively. For a good reason too, with more and more people purchasing LCD or Plasma TV’s, many people too are buying HTPC’s to go with their shiny bit of tech. ...

Antec Fusion Remote Max | Posted on: 16/03/2009 @ 20:40
Like the Sonata Elite, also the Fusion Remote Max is an updated version of a case we've already reviewed on Metku.net once before. While the Sonata Elite still followed the footprints of its predecessors, the Fusion Max goes a bit further and the internal layout is redone to take full-size ATX motherboards.
Cooler Master Elite 330 Case RC-330-KKN1-GP | Posted on: 16/03/2009 @ 0:54
Benchmark Reviews has been on the web for over a year now. In that time I\'ve had the pleasure of reviewing some very nice higher end computer items, including mid and full tower cases. While I love the high end market I realize for every high end part sold, there are probably 100\'s of mid to lower end parts sold. So who\'s buying these parts? Everyone is that\'s who. So where do they get ...

Chieftec HM-01B HTPC Case | Posted on: 13/03/2009 @ 10:29
Installing a system in the Chieftec HM-01B HTPC case was extremely simple, and the tool-less drive features may be the best I have ever used. Unfortunately not all aspects of the installation are tool-less, but it went quickly anyway. The internal layout gives you plenty of room for all the necessary components, with means to manage the wires neatly.
Cooler Master ATCS 840 | Posted on: 13/03/2009 @ 2:16
Everything old is new again, so the saying goes. Well, newer isn\'t always better, but on rare occasions it can be if you fuse the best of the old with the new. Today we\'ll take a trip down memory lane, sort of, with the new Cooler Master ATCS 840, a full tower case that has its roots in yesteryear and has been reborn with a redesign by Cooler Master. A stunning full tower, we see if it\'s the ...

Vizo Luxon Advanced | Posted on: 10/03/2009 @ 17:05
From Vizo today, we have a product very much out of their forte – hard drive enclosures. With great things seen from Vizo in the past earning them a highly acclaimed reputation, we are expecting another great product from this company. Earlier in the week we were impressed with their Orbiter HDD cooler, let’s find out whether the Luxon Advanced impress us just as much. Read on to ...

Eagle Tech ET-CS2MSU2-BK 2.5" SATA to USB mesh enclosure | Posted on: 05/03/2009 @ 9:50
USB Drives are great little gadgets for transporting our data to and from places we need to go, but sometimes they're just not big enough so we've got to use an actual hard drive. Hard drives are nice for storage but standard 3.5†hard drives when put in an enclosure can end up being big and bulky, and of course you've got to provide a power supply as well for them, so you end up carrying ...

Corsair enters the case market | Posted on: 04/03/2009 @ 18:42
When we visited Corsair in the beginning of the year in Fremont, California the company told us about plans to move into the case market. There weren’t actually pictures or prototype builds available at that time which is why we didn’t mention it. Now first pictures are available and Corsair will even show a first prototype sample...
