Thermaltake Armor A60 Computer Case | Posted on: 23/09/2010 @ 12:03

Not much is able to be changed within an enclosure in order to make it innovative. Generic functionality such as more fans, a different design, and flashier lights seem to be added with the creation of every new case released. Thermaltake, however, has noticed this trend, and has opted to go away from the norm by including "the world's first SideClick EasySwap design" within their latest case, ...

Thermaltake Armor A60 Mid Tower Case Review | Posted on: 23/09/2010 @ 1:12

NZXT Phantom Full Tower Case | Posted on: 22/09/2010 @ 3:12

After using the NZXT Phantom full tower case for the last few weeks I have to say that I am pretty impressed with the quality and the look of it. The way NZXT has made this to be both a user friendly case and appeal to the hardcore enthusiast is a plus in my book. And, the near tool-less design is something that almost everyone can appreciate.

NZXT Phantom Case Review | Posted on: 20/09/2010 @ 19:25

Maybe this is a cliché, but the NZXT Phantom Case is ready for liftoff. My first impression out of the box was: "this case looks like a freakin' space shuttle." Perhaps it was the smooth white exterior with black mesh highlights or the rounded edge of the drive cover? Now, NZXT may not have had NASA engineers design this monstrous full-tower, but the case is impressive between the cooling ...

Antec DF-85 (Dark Fleet) Case Review | Posted on: 19/09/2010 @ 7:47

The IBM compatible PC has been around since the ‘8086’ specification and for many years afterwards the computer chassis that houses all those precious components had not changed. The same old beige box with the ‘Turbo’ button became rather tiresome. At this time system builders had to be a persistent lot, with the razor sharp edges inside of those cases as the interior of the chassis was ...

Lian Li PC-T60 PitStop Test-Bench Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 14/09/2010 @ 1:34

The Pitstop T60 test bench chassis exhibits all the characteristics one would expect from a Lian Li product. The materials, quality and fit and finish are second to none. It also, unfortunately, seems to have a bit of an identity crisis. While it definitely qualifies as a test bench chassis, all the components are attached with screws and not that much easier to swap than it would be in a regular ...

Thermaltake Armor A60 Computer Case Review @ Tweaknews | Posted on: 11/09/2010 @ 2:38

The Armor A60, like the A90 chassis from Thermaltake proves itself to be a bit of a mixed bag, but most of the bag was good. There is room for lots of hardware in the A60, with three big bays and six HDD mounts be they 3.5- or 2.5-inch. The "SideClick" feature will also be a draw for some users.

The Lian Li PC-Q06 is a Mini ITX test bench case.
