Silverstone has really been one of the premier PC enclosure manufacturers for several years now and they always seem to be finding different ways to handle all types of platforms from ATX, micro ATX, and even mini ATX cases. Their newest creation is the RV02, which builds upon the original Raven case, but adds a few new wrinkles to its design and construction. The new Raven 2 is smaller, lighter, and Silverstone claims it outperforms the original Raven.

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

We've evaluated numerous CPU coolers from a variety of established vendors that include the likes of Zalman, CoolerMaster, and Thermalright. But, today we are treading off the beaten path a bit to review a CPU cooler from a relatively unknown entity called Prolimatech. This Taiwan-based company was founded in 2008 and their one and only CPU cooler that supports Intel's LGA 1366 socket is dubbed the Megahalem.

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

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 - 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.
