The box all your power hardware slots into. Check out our latest enclosure reviews here.
We have seen many cases here at XSReviews ranging from the conservative silent types to the somewhat more extravagant. When looking for cases many people want to have the best of both worlds: silence and looks. Yet although there are solutions available for such a customer, many fall short of delivering a truly silent gaming case.
With this in mind and the hope of filling this gap, Zalman have ...

Water Cooling has always been a quite complex part of the computer industry and in the past, only extreme hardware enthusiasts have undertaken it. It’s a long process of buying water-cooling parts singly and them modifying your case to fit the parts; this can prove daunting for most. Fortunately though, Zalman have come up with a case designed specifically for water cooling which also includes a ...

Here at XSReviews we've taken quite an extensive look at NZXT's range of cases, but NZXT have found one we haven't had out mitts on yet. This one's called the Tempest, and it has it's own slogan: “Welcome the airflow king”.
NZXT have made some pretty immense cases in the past so lets take this one for a spin and see how it performs and if it deserves its catchphrase.

Coolermaster have developed many cases over the years including the Stacker series and more recently the Cosmo range of enclosures. Today I have the most recent Cosmo case, the Cosmo S set for wide availability by the end of March.
Featuring a fairly unnecessary 9 possible fans (eight 120mm and a 200mm blower) and a touch-sensitive power button, this case is aimed at the connoisseur of cases ...

Apevia aren’t the most widely known maker of cases, especially since they changed their name from Aspire. We’ve seen a couple of their cases before, and today I have another to add to the list. The rather cumbersome name – G Junior Type X-Telstar – relates to a front temperature and voltage display with a couple of 120mm fan thrown in.
With a combination of aluminium, steel and plastic, let’s ...

Nearly everyone who's looked for a new PC case will have heard the name Lian Li who are celebrated for their aluminium enclosures. Lian Li have always aimed their cases at the conservative computer owner, who would rather have a light-weight clean looking case rather than one jam packed full of cold cathodes and LED encrusted fans.
Today I have in my hands the Metal Boned K7 chassis that while ...

We’ve been privileged enough to review a fair portion of the NZXT case range, with the Lexa Blackline, Rouge, Hush and Duet all receiving solid results and accolades. Now I have another case from the gamer enclosure constructors; the NZXT Alpha.
Sold under the tag-line of ‘Simple yet powerful’ it slots into the budget class case segment. Featuring tool-less drive mounting, steel chassis and ...

I’ll be honest, when the ThermalTake Armor+ case arrived at the office, I was left in a similar state as when the Antec P190 landed; speechless. The box is a mammoth construction of cardboard that hints of the case packaged inside; a super tower case.
This case is something special; it’s built for the most demanding user and includes the option to have preinstalled water cooling, up to seven ...

Media is the buzz word, with manufacturers gunning for this market with remote controller equiped computers and even whole operating systems designed around providing you with the perfect media platform.
Today I have the much anticipated ThermalTake DH 102 which steps into the game with an included 7” 800x600 LCD touch screen panel on the front. It comes packaged with the tried-and-tested iMON ...

NZXT have been champions of the gamer case market for a while now. In order to keep a top position, you need to keep pumping out interesting cases designed for every user. To fit this bill, they’ve releases the Rogue.
Featuring a box shaped design and LAN carrying strap, it should be able to keep NZXT at the top of the game.

NZXT loves gamers, and make their cases for that market. We’ve seen snippets from their Classic range, but today I have the Apollo which fits into their Crafted series which definitely shy away from the professional look and go for in-your-face aesthetics.
Let’s have a look if the NZXT Apollo is right for your next show-off gaming rig.
