BitFenix Shinobi Window review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/14/2011 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

BitFenix recently released an extension to the original model, the Shinobi "Window" edition chassis. An affordable yet elegant chassis solution. Tagged with a 69 USD price tag this chassis is locked and loaded as mid-tower case with its crosshair aimed at gamers. While the regular Shinobi has a solid steel side panel and one 120mm fan, the Shinobi Window is a little more advanced and offers a tinted side window as well as an extra 120mm fan and tool-free drive locking mechanisms.

Fractal Design Core 3000 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/19/2011 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Fractal Design released the Core 3000, an all black, quite stylish mid-tower chassis. This ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX ready tower chassis can house a pair of external 5.25-inch drive bays, for ODDs (optical disk drives) or anything else that uses that form factor of course. Then on the inside Fractal Design made sure you can house a lot of internal 3.5-inch HDDs as the bays allow six of them to be installed with the top bay being removable, which will allow you to use long graphics cards.

Corsair Graphite Series 600T White edition review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 05/19/2011 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

It was time for an upgrade though, so the designing minions in the dark caves of Corsair's R&D facility started thinking, brainstorming and came up with a fresh idea .. yep the Graphite Series could use an update. So the team came up with a special edition series chassis, the White Graphite Series 600T Mid-Tower Case as reviewed today. This little white colored beast has five exposed 5.25-inch drive bays, immediately hinting this chassis to be a mid-tower chassis.

Corsair Obsidian 650D review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/24/2011 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

We review the Corsair Obsidian 650D. Yes, they stripped away the removable front drive bays, made the chassis smaller and boom, the Obsidian 650D was born. A chassis that is just as impressive as its bigger brother the 800D really. Plenty of space, all graphics cards to date fit in there (length wise), many drive bays, fan controller, USB 3.0 frontpanel support, easy to clean dust filters and a solution that is once again pretty much tool free and comes in that scrumptious all black design.

Cooler Master Enforcer review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/12/2011 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

We take a peek at the CM Storm Enforcer, and as you might have guessed from the name, will be aimed at gamers. It will have its own USB 3.0 ports and a suitably complex outer design that is a little more in line with the fragmeisters amongst us. When you'll see the chassis the first time you'll notice resemblances to the CM HAF series, mixes it with features of the 690 II while featuring its own unique exterior design.

NZXT Phantom review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/23/2010 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

We review the NZXT Phantom. Absolutely stunning in many ways as the design is simply great, the features are grand and then the extras still need to kick in. What about a 5-fold fan controller connected to a plethora of pre-equipped fans? Yep, a fan controller in the chassis, something we have been requesting for years. The NZXT Phantom is a full tower case with an excess of room for just about anything you'd like to install in there.

Cooler Master HAF-X review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 06/27/2010 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

We test and review the HAF-X from Cooler Master. The HAF X rears its head marketed as the most powerful HAF (High Air Flow) chassis to date. An enthusiast targeted chassis that will keep your expensive components cooled down well, with a very user-friendly but extremely aesthetically pleasing design. To date each HAF and any HAF series chassis has proven to be extremely gratifying, has rugged looks and offers plenty of space for your hardware. This new model is even compatible with USB 3.0 devices. You'll notice in the review that the chassis comes with dedicated support and cooling for graphic cards, excellent airflow with the help of up to four gargantuan fans.

Smooth Creations Firestorm review

Posted by: Brann Mitchell on: 04/07/2010 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Smooth Creation's Firestorm takes the LAN party computer to its lightest and most diminutive form. The Firestorm we got ended up being prone to overheating, so the i7 965 config we had was not ideal for this small of a case. However, offering several flexible configurations from AMD or Intel, the Firestorm is a very affordable machine utilizing top components, top speed, and built to SmoothCreation's unusually high standards.

Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 02/22/2010 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Here we test the CM 690 II Advanced Case. The new version enhances the original CM 690 striking features with a seductive all-black interior, additional capacity, superb cooling system and user-friendly design. And though looks can deceive, the Cooler Master CM 690 II indeed does very similar to the original, make no mistake internally there have been a good number of changes. The original CM 690 was the building block of something better and they improved on it.

Cooler Master HAF 922 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/12/2009 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

The HAF 922 with it's near identical name and setup resembles a lot to it's bigger brother the HAF 932. The 922 however is a mid-tower while the 932 is a full tower. Don't expect the 922 to be a "dried up" version of the 932 though; it actually offers some improvements, especially when it comes to cable management. The HAF 922 is a good blend of a nice design, yet comes with pretty wicked yet silent cooling and then all the little extra's like decent cable management, removable drive trays for your HDDs, tool less insertion of say a DVD-RW drive and what we like to see very much, something as simple as an opening in the motherboard back tray so you can swap out a CPU cooer backplate without the need of an invasive procedure to remove the entire motherboard. It's what Cooler Master does well, the HAF meets the requirements in ease of use and design at an affordable price.

Corsair Obsidian 800D review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 11/05/2009 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Corsair has a reputation to deliver products in the somewhat more high-end region, they set the bar really high when it comes to enthusiast hardware and tend to really think things through. As such, when the first ideas started to float in the coffee room in a building about a Corsair Chassis, the R&D team put together some great minds and did not at all look at building a chassis, no, they very likely reversed roles; what would you guys like to see or need when building your dream chassis? Their first ever PC chassis is called the Obsidian 800D, and it is without any shame I dare to state that this is among the best ever PC cases I personally have ever tested. Yes, this chassis is marvelous.

NZXT Guardian 921 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 08/17/2009 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

PC cases (a chassis) come in many varieties and over the years we certainly have reviewed a good share of them. One name that constantly comes back with new designs targeted at a gaming audience is NZXT. The offer a wide range of gaming related PC cases on the market and surely we have seen them grown a lot ever since we reviewed their first chassis many years ago. Without further ado let me introduce you to the most difficult to photograph chassis of all times, as it is highly glossy and reflective, the Guardian 921 with sheer nice looks and a very nice price.

SmoothCreations LANShark!

Posted by: Brann Mitchell on: 06/29/2009 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

SmoothCreations delivers another thrilling custom computer. The LANShark is small, light, and fast. While it is plenty fast, its overclocking potential is limited by its cooling, however. The aim towards durabilty may compromises its full speed, but the custom paint job totally makes up for it.

SmoothCreations Neptune Xtreme Machine

Listen up buttercup, King Neptune just mopped the floor. What I thought was going to be a custom case review turned out to a full-on bad-ass PC system to review. OK, I'm game. While it might not be the ultimate to the hardcore, SmoothCreations built an awesome machine, worthy of praise and attention.

Project-X - Building a new Guru3D.com test rig

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 12/28/2008 02:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

X58 as you guys know can support both SLI and Crossfire, allowing one PC to test both, and for a reviewer that's pretty wicked really as we do not have to build multiple similar configured systems. One to rule them all. We figured, let's make a new system and go a little crazy. So the guys over at Smooth Creations decided to help us out by taking care of a custom paintjob. I wanted, blue Guru3D colored flames with our logo stamped in there, with a black coating.

Hiper Media Center HTPC HMC-2K53A-A3 review

Posted by: Hilbert Hagedoorn on: 04/20/2008 01:00 PM [ 0 comment(s) ]

Hiper recently released a new model of their slim-line HTPC barebone chassis, with VFD (display) fully integrated mainboard and PSU. Pretty much you drop a HD, a slice of memory and a processor in this system and you are good to go since the mainboard even has support for multi-channel audio, VGA & HDMI output as it's based on the reputable AMD 690G chipset (mainboard with integrated graphics card). And next to all that, it even comes with a pretty decent remote control.

CoolerMaster today introduced a new PC case/chassis updated from their Cosmos line of products. This unit is based on a standard Cosmos 1000 with some attention-grabbing new modifications targeted at the high-end and enthusiast consumer with a diminutive amount of money to spare. It's huge, it's profound, it's impressive, it's striking and it's called the Cosmos S; with the S for Sport.
