Ultra Aluminus ATX Mid-Tower Case
Posted by: on: 04/21/2006 07:00 AM [
0 comment(s) ]
This particular case design has been around for a long while now and has been highly successful. Whilst previous incarnations may not have been particularly fantastic feature wise, and weren't particularly appealing aesthetics wise, they were extremely well built, large, and had great airflow. The main downside was that they were mostly made of steel and weighed an absolute tonne! They could also be considered a little boring, but it depends what you're looking for. Now, what Ultra have done with their Aluminus case is to take an old favourite and revamp it.

Ultra X2-Connect 550w Power Supply

This PSU is the successor to the original X-Connect and Ultra is hoping it's going to be just as successful. This PSU will appeal to all the majority of the modding freaks out there as it has a flashy look to it, windows, blue illumination and a modular cable system. There aren't too many PSUs out there that can boast such features.

Today we are entering the mysterious world of the HTPC .. the Home Theater PC. A PC that has been built for the sole purpose of playing back music, movies and or media files, basically a multimedia center. And that is not an easy mission, as everybody has different goals, budgets and tasks for such a PC. Essentially this is a review about the Thermaltake Mozart. Look at the choices and building part of the HTPC as an additional bonus in this review.

The Lexa - Mid Tower ATX PC case

You've all seen, heard and some of you even bought a case designed by NZXT based on our reviews right ? And there's no reason not too as they make seriously intriguing PC cases targeted at the enthusiast PC community. Can you remember some of them ? The Guardian, Nemesis and their last one was Trinity. We reviewed all these cases as NZXT makes some pretty impressive stuff that we just love to take a deeper look at. Today we bring you a review on, once again, a new case ... the Lexa and despite the fact you and I figured out that it must be getting harder and harder to design some original yet functional for the gamer, NZXT once again have outdone themselves, ladies and gents .. the Lexa is what we'll be reviewing today and it's by far one of the best cases ever reviewed here on Guru3D.com

Lian Li PC777B The Anniversary Casing

The PC-777 series casing is a mid-sized tower with in it 6x5.25, 6x3.5" internal with a FDD bezel and 1x CD-ROM bezel. There's more to the Lian-Li case though, this model has 2 additional 120 mm fans located internally in the front and rear of the casing. Not your regular fans, nope we'll show you in the photo shoot how weird (in a mostly good way) everything is with this PC case.

Thermaltake recently released a new PC case. Targeted at the high-end and enthusiast consumer with a diminutive amount of money to spare, Thermaltake offers a new series of PC ATX/BTX ready casings.

The product we'll be testing today falls in that budget segment of mainstream pre-modified cases. For not a lot of money CaseBuy can offer you a product that (if it fits your style of course) really looks attractive. So all you guys and girls out there with two left hands when it comes to modifying a case yourself .. good news. No more bleeding hands and chopped of fingers from sawing and cutting into that big can .. it's all done for you.

Suffice to say that the most of us would like to quickly test a PSU before installing it, or after you smelled a burning sensation originating from that PSU, and want to investigate. Here's where Casebuy comes in. For a few bucks you can buy this little EZ Power Supply Tester 2. Honestly the name says it all .. it does exactly that and nothing more.

Although the new design did catch some attention, the technology behind it is even more interesting. See they call this product the VapoChill Micro, it's slightly based on the technology we know from that refrigerator in your kitchen.

NZXT Trinity Pre-Modified ATX PC case
Posted by: on: 05/30/2005 07:00 AM [
0 comment(s) ]
The Trinity PC casing series is setting a new trend, cheaper priced PC casings from the new NZXT classic line, yet pre-modded and with a certain look and feel to it that makes it very interesting. I say cheaper as the cases you will see today are priced at only 59,00 and that includes VAT/Taxes thus budget wise making it a mid-range product. For that money you'll receive a lovely PC casing with slide in HD mounts, transparent side windows with LED fan, back fan, front door, one temperature probe with LCD display on the front of the casing and all that in a beautifully painted casing. Sound interesting eh ?

This is the review of an actual USB PC Bay insert. And not just a flashy fan controller or something, we get to have system feedback from this device. Matrix Orbital recently released the new MX6 series PLED powered bay inserts. Featuring new PLED (polymer light emitting diodes) technology, this display will give you a 160 degree viewing angle, remarkable response time and great contrast. It has digital bay bus capabilities, temperature monitoring, and programmable I/O.

Lian-Li PC-V1000 Plus Aluminum PC Case
Posted by: on: 04/18/2005 07:00 AM [
0 comment(s) ]
There are several ways to cool down a PC silently, take for example watercooling. But there are other ways for sure. Lian-Li noticed this for sure sand started manufacturing pc cases that have the cool look, a sweet design and yet are very effective when it comes to cooling. Today's test subject for example is made of 100% aluminum, but it does not stop there, the entire layout both in and external have been developed with the motto cool down the PC while making it look aesthetically beautiful. And, although taste can differ, they sure succeeded that with the PC-V1000 Plus, a really astonishing PC case with some pretty interesting airflow techniques, including cooling fans and ducts.

The specific model we take a peek at today is the OCZ-520 12U. It's a 520 Watt PSU yet with the reserve to take it even up a notch, this baby can peak at 620 Watt ! Now that's what I call a cup-D sized power supply.

Well now, a couple of weeks ago I received a press release from NZXT again, this time announcing their new line of Nemesis PC cases. When I saw the first product photo's I figured something like 'man, this thing is going to be a huge hit'. A well designed and highly styled PC case with 120mm silent LED colored fans, active heat/thermal monitoring and LCD display. it's buffed with more features like Aluminum chassis, the front LED colored 'Eye' can be set to 7 different colors, great paint job, front panel for USB 2.0, Microphone, FireWire and last but not least it has 9 drive bays (2 3.5").

h2o - Premodded Watercooled Case

H2O-computers specializes in custom solutions. The high-end nifty gear that most of us guru's like so much. If you need a sungle small component for water cooling that fine, do you need a watercooled pre modified case ? That's fine also. Do you need a complete water cooled system, hey .. they offer that as well. In fact their 5000+ system is a pre modified water-cooled Pentium 4 3.2 GHz system default clocked at 3.75 GHz on an Asus P4C800 mainboard with 1 GHz memory and so on ... if you need it then they can make you a complete water-cooled PC.

To get me over that weird idea of water in a PC I figured, what the hell ... if you fall of a bike you need to get back on it right. With that approach I've been in dialog with Asetek. Asetek ladies and gentlemen is as stated a very reputable company in cooling material. Luckily for me they recently released their WaterChill Antarctica CPU+VGA kit.

Most of you desire a non-standard PC Case, face it .. you are a visitor of Guru3D.com which means you crave a need for the best hardware. One big downside though, if you are one of those people who is well .. to lazy to case-mod, have two left hands or simply does not have the time to make a case-mod then what to do ? Luckily for us there are a few companies out there who saw this gap in the market and when you are ready to pay some dough, you can pretty much buy anything to your likings; NZXT is such a company.
