PC Cases and Modding An overview of the latest chassis and cases tested. Articles:   Cooler Master Cosmos II review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/3/2012 We review the new Cooler Master Cosmos II. It is an Ultra tower, this chassis is 70cm in height -- almost 28". It has space for even the big XL-ATX motherboards, it comes with brushed aluminum side panels; unlock and swing them open like doors instead of panels. Yep, that Ultra vibe is already kicking in isn't it?   Anidées AI-6 chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/30/2011 There is a new player in the PC casing / chassis arena, they are named Anidées and recently they have introduced their first product into the market. Their first chassis released is the AI-6, it comes in three models, standard black, one with a side panel window and a sound dampened version. We'll check out the 'regular' model, but as you'll notice very little is actually regular about this chassis.   Cooler Master Silencio 550 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/11/2011 Cooler Master went back to the drawing table and improved the Silencio 550 as shown today with better cable routing, all black interior and an extra retaining hole. Obviously there are many ways to get the noise levels down with good cooling solutions and silent fans. But an overlooked part of the PC is the chassis itself.   Corsair Carbide 500R review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/26/2011 Corsair went back to the drawing board and improved that 400R model towards an updated SKU, the 500R. They added more meshed vents, a new 200 fan was added, a three step fan controller and tweaked the overall design a little as well with removable and relocatable hard drive cages allowing you to even insert a 452mm in length graphics card. But wait Dave .. there's more.   CM Storm Trooper review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/19/2011 Cooler Master has unleashed its “CM Storm Trooper” Case. The chassis, as you noted is branded under the CM Storm series. The case features an all black and bulky design with a cool front panel. The Trooper comes with a nice nine expansion slots providing support for multi-GPUs in SLI or Crossfire. in total there's space for 14 hard drives and the motherboard tray even supports XL-ATX form factors. Its one of CMs best chassis to date we dare to state.   BitFenix Shinobi Window review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/15/2011 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.   Cubitek Magic Cube 3HDD review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/11/2011 Cubitek figured, heck .. it's all in our own brand name, let's design a modular chassis series under the name Magic Cube   Corsair Carbide 400R review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/3/2011 With the Carbide series Corsair enters the more mainstream market, and as we all know that means a cheaper product often resulting is ripped away features. But this chassis at 99 USD offers some great feature and functionality. Have a peek at the product reviewed today, this is the Carbide series chassis from Corsair, costing roughly 99 USD yet comes with a nice design and a very decent feature set.   Fractal Design Core 3000 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/20/2011 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 by Hilbert Hagedoorn 5/20/2011 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 by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/25/2011 Cooler Master Enforcer review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/13/2011 Liquid Cooling and Overclocking the GTX 580 with Danger Den by Hilbert Hagedoorn 3/4/2011 NZXT Phantom review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/24/2010 Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/15/2010 Cooler Master HAF-X review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/28/2010 Zalman Z7 Plus review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/18/2010 Smooth Creations Firestorm review by Brann Mitchell 4/8/2010 Cooler Master CM 690 II Advanced review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/23/2010 InWin Dragon Rider chassis review by Panagiotis Georgiadis 1/13/2010 Cooler Master HAF 922 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/13/2009 Corsair Obsidian 800D review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/6/2009 NZXT Guardian 921 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/18/2009 SmoothCreations LANShark! by Brann Mitchell 6/30/2009 Smooth Creations Far Cry 2 chassis by Hilbert Hagedoorn 5/27/2009 SmoothCreations Neptune Xtreme Machine by Brann Mitchell 4/1/2009 SunBeamtech Acrylic HTPC chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/26/2009 Arctic Cooling Silentium T3 ECO 80 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/19/2009 Project-X - Building a new Guru3D.com test rig by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/29/2008 Smooth Creations Customized Volkswagen Bus PC review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/10/2008 Hiper Media Center HTPC HMC-2K53A-A3 review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/21/2008 CoolerMaster Cosmos S review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/22/2008 Zalman HD160XT Plus HTPC Chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/19/2008 NZXT Rogue SSF chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/27/2008 SunBeamTech UFO Acrylic Cube Case review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 11/2/2007 SunBeamtech Tuniq 3 chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/29/2007 Gigabyte Mercury Pro review (water-cooled ) by Hilbert Hagedoorn 7/15/2007 Revoltec Zirconium PC chassis review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/23/2007 Spire Pininfarina SP-ATX-PALU Chassis by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/19/2006 Gigabyte 3D Aurora 570 review by George Panayiotou 10/24/2006 Alphacool Ready2Go Stacker (Passive) by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/16/2006 Ultra Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case by Dave Crewe 4/21/2006 Ultra X2-Connect 550w Power Supply by Dave Crewe 4/14/2006 Three-way ATX PC case shootout by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/3/2006 SilverStone 600 Watt ATX Power Supply by Hilbert Hagedoorn 3/31/2006 Arctic Cooling Alpine 64 & Accelero X1 by Dave Crewe 3/8/2006 ThermalTake Mozart With Media Lab by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/27/2006 Aspire X-Qpack (mATX casing) by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/15/2006 SunBeamtech 'Silent Storm' ATX mid tower by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/31/2006 Enermax Liberty 620 Watt PSU by Hilbert Hagedoorn 1/2/2006 ThermalTake PurePower PST520W ATX PSU by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/5/2005 The CoolerMaster Musketeer 3 by Brann Mitchell 11/30/2005 The Lexa - Mid Tower ATX PC case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/31/2005 Lian Li PC777B The Anniversary Casing by Hilbert Hagedoorn 10/21/2005 Thermaltake Tai-Chi Super Tower Case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 9/21/2005 CaseBuy A.I-01 series PC case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 9/9/2005 EZ PowerSupply Tester 2 by Hilbert Hagedoorn 9/8/2005 Vapochill Micro Ultra Low Noise by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/5/2005 NZXT Trinity Pre-Modified ATX PC case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 5/30/2005 MX610 USB PC PLED Bay insert by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/29/2005 Lian-Li PC-V1000 Plus Aluminum PC Case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 4/18/2005 OCZ Technology ModStream 520W PSU by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/10/2005 The Nemesis - Pre-Modified ATX PC case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 12/17/2004 X-Dreamer II PC Case review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 8/10/2004 h2o - Premodded Watercooled Case by Hilbert Hagedoorn 7/27/2004 Asetek Waterchill Antartica Watercooling by Hilbert Hagedoorn 6/6/2004 The Guardian PC Case review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 5/4/2004 Xoxide Storm PC Case review by Hilbert Hagedoorn 2/4/2004 proSilence Fanless PSU by Hilbert Hagedoorn 5/22/2003 Archived Content: There are no archived articles Related Forums: Die-hard Overclocking & Case Modifications&nbs
