Case and Cooling - Dec 15, 2009 | 12:00 AM

Silverstone is one of the few vendors who hasn't left the SFF crowd hang out to dry. I've reviewed every SFF case they have developed over the past few years, and their latest addition to the popular Sugo series is the SG06. This case shares many features with its older brother the SG05, but includes some new wrinkles to the front bezel design as well as support for solid state drives and larger third-party heatsinks.

NZXT Panzerbox Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case Review

Case and Cooling - Dec 07, 2009 | 12:00 PM

PC cases, for the most part, stick to basic reference designs that many vendors have adopted and supported over the years. While we've seen some creativity being incorporated into production cases, most are not what I would call "totally unique". Thankfully, the folks over at NZXT are continuing to push the boundaries of conventional PC enclosure design and a perfect example of this is the Panzerbox.

Case and Cooling - Sep 26, 2009 | 03:00 PM

But, today we are treading off the beaten path a bit to review a CPU cooler from a relatively unknown entity called Prolimatech.

nMediaPC HTPC 8000 Wood ATX Case Review

Case and Cooling - Sep 14, 2009 | 12:00 PM

A lot of PC cases and enclosures made from steel, aluminum, and acrylic pass by my test bench. The modding community has also used other materials like carbon fiber to create custom cases that met their specific needs. But, I can't think of one vendor that creates production cases using wood until nMediaPC gave us a call about their HTPC 8000 case. nMediaPC dubs their HTPC 8000 as the world's first wooden HTPC case, and to my knowledge I think they are right. Let's see if this organic creation can start a new trend in the HTPC case market.

ASUS Triton 81 Universal Heatsink Review

Case and Cooling - Aug 24, 2009 | 07:00 PM

While we've seen more than our fair share of heatsinks based strictly off copper or aluminum fin arrays and heatpipes, we haven't seen that many with dual-fan heat exhaust systems. ASUS just happened to make one called the Triton 81, which is on our review bench today. This heatsink has a four-way airflow design and dual fans that ASUS claims will make it very useful for overclocking. We'll pit the Triton 81 against some of our favorite high-end heatsinks to determine how well this 695g beast can handle the heat of our Intel Q8400 LGA 775 processor.

Case and Cooling - Jul 29, 2009 | 07:31 PM

Corsair Hydro H50 Water Cooler Video and Photo Review

Case and Cooling - Jul 15, 2009 | 04:00 PM

But with Corsair pushing the H50 brand along, users have another option for their system cooling needs. The H50 is just as easy to install as most high-end air coolers but offers improved performance. Check out our video review inside!

NZXT Zero 2 Full Tower Case Review

Case and Cooling - Jul 14, 2009 | 10:00 AM

Today, we have the second revision of NZXT's Zero case called the Zero 2. NZXT went back to the drawing board and developed a steel chassis to give the case a lot more stability and rigidness that most PC builders look for when building a new system. The new chassis uses 1.0mm steel, which bumps the entire weight of the case to 10.2 kilograms, which is roughly 22.4 lbs. That's a pretty big different from the original Zero that weighed in at 7.35 kilograms or 16.2 lbs. Let's see if the extra durability is enough to entice consumers to this full tower case.

Zalman CNPS10X Extreme Universal Heatsink

Case and Cooling - Jul 10, 2009 | 10:00 AM

With several different CPU socket types currently on the market, it maybe difficult to find a decent third-party heatsink that will meet a power user's overclocking and cooling needs. While there are numerous cooling solutions available, Zalman's CNPS10X Extreme might be one to consider with its support for LGA 1156, 1366, 775, AM3, and AM2+. They also threw in a removable fan controller that can be mounted outside of the case. Let's see if this heatsink can take the air cooling crown away from its older brother the CNPS9900 LED.

Case and Cooling - Jun 22, 2009 | 12:00 AM

The OCZ Fatal1ty 700W unit we have up for review today features a single +12V rail and is both Nvidia SLI and 80 Plus certified.

Case and Cooling - May 31, 2009 | 05:00 AM

Creating an enclosure that can minimize space, but still leave PC builders enough room to work with and possibly grow is a difficult task. The introduction of Mini, Nano, and Pico ATX motherboards have given consumers the power of a desktop PC in the palm of their hands. One company who’s had success creating SFF cases is SilverStone. Their Sugo series has been refined over the past several years, and their SST-SG05B is the latest addition to the Sugo product line.
