"Stability in the chassis is very good. I removed many components trying out various mounting positions for the hard drives, and just to see if once all you had was the shell left, can the chassis still stand on its own. What I found is that it is in fact very solid in its construction. I do believe the compact nature of this specific case helps, but none the less, the PC-Q27 B is solid as a rock and vibration free when in use. There can be hard drives almost anywhere you could think to put them, you have room for an ODD, and with it being fan less, this is also a perfect solution for those looking for something for their HTPC. Inside and out, no matter what part of the chassis, I like what I see."

Active Noise Cancellation - The Future Of Low Noise Cooling From Noctua!
Would you like to know more? Check out this brief introduction by Geek. Now, while this new cooling technology is some time off, we've the current range from Noctua in stock and ready to order - Get into it!
Noctua NH-U12S & NH-U14S Coolers Reviewed By Pro-Clockers
"Noctua did a pretty good job with their NH-U12S and NH-U14S coolers, producing two new cooler models that performed very well without having to be overweight and large. During our testing, we have seen above-average performance from both models when everything is stock settings. But when things are turned up a little like the voltage and BCLK, both coolers shine. When dual fans are used, both coolers top the charts in our overclocking tests. When only using a single fan, the U14S came in third place. It was only beaten by its little brother using two fans and itself also using an additional fan."

Noctua NF-S12A Fan Series On Pro-Clockers
"Once again we see that Noctua continued to take fan development to the next level. After the NF-F12 series, I really thought there was nothing more to add to this fan series from Noctua. I mean they were able to keep the fans quiet and performance well under various cooling situations. I believe Noctua is just on a quest to give their fans (buyers) more options and more value for their money. This shows in the newer Noctua NF-S12A series. Each fan is given a new set of features and technical specifications with the only difference between them are the rotation speeds. Noctua is continuing to produce winners and we really enjoy bringing them to you."

Lian Li PC-Q12 MiniITX Chassis Review On TechGage
"Anyone on the market for a small PC to serve as an entertainment hub or a simple workstation would do themselves a solid by considering this chassis. Available online for around $130 US, it might be a little steep for many, considering what it is. But, as with most things, you pay for what you get and with this case, you get quality."

Guru3D Checks Out EVGAs GTX 770 Superclocked With ACX Cooler
"Overall the card is a real treat. It's silent and is closing in on the all new GTX 780. The higher factory clocks are nice and next to that there still remains to be room left for tweaking allowing this product to reach the 1250 to 1300 MHz fairly easily. We have no hesitation to recommend the product to you if you are in the market for a nice performance upgrade. Definitely recommended."

Haswell Overclocking On The Tech Report - Moar Power Requires Moar Cooling!
"Of the processors Asus has tested, 70% hit 4.5GHz, 30% reached 4.6GHz, and 20% made 4.7GHz. Only 10% were stable at 4.8GHz. Heat is reportedly the limiting factor, and Asus recommends using a dual-fan water cooler to prevent thermal throttling past about 4.5GHz or 1.25V."

EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked Graphics Card On LegitReviews
"We haven't been impressed by an add-in board partners card in some time, but that quickly changed after we spent some time with the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked with ACX Cooling video card (part number 03G-P4-2784-KR). What you get for an extra $10 over the cost of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 reference design is downright amazing. You get a video card that performs right around 9% faster than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 with stock speeds and is faster than NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan video card more often than not. This is something that is hard to believe since the GTX 780 has fewer cores and texture units than Titan, but the numbers don't lie. Also keep in mind that at $659.99 shipped, the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked is $340 less than the GeForce GTX Titan. That is a steal!"

GeForce GTX 770 Is Toms Favourite Videocard....
"GK104 might be an older GPU, but it’s still a potent piece of gaming hardware. Just ratchet up its clock rates, retrofit it with the best looking and performing graphics cooler we’ve ever seen, and knock its price back $50 from the GeForce GTX 680’s price point as of one week ago. AMD was sitting pretty with its Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition at $450. But GeForce GTX 770 walked into the bar, turned over a table, and showed the same sort of aggression we saw when it launched GeForce GTX 650 Ti Boost under $200. And that’s why we’re bestowing Tom's Hardware's Smart Buy award on Nvidia's GeForce GTX 770. Although high-end graphics cards are still expensive, we’re happy to get more performance in a better-built package for $100 less than what we could buy a year ago in GeForce GTX 680."

Overclockers.com 3 Step Haswell Overclocking Guide
"Like all chips, you want to try to keep your chips as cool as you can to increase their longevity. Personally, I’d try to keep a Haswell chip below 85 °C for 24/7 operation (definitely below 90°C); not because they can’t take more (they can), but because it’s usually safer to err on the side of caution."

Interested in overclocking a Haswell CPU? Check out the 3 Step Guide from Overclockers.com. As mentioned repeatedly in the article, these new processors run hot.
If you're wanting to keep those temps down, consider a high end CPU cooler, liquid cooling kit and also, importantly, some better quality thermal compound.

Nvidia GTX 770 Introduction & Overview By Vortez
"Not only does it beat the competition on price but for the most part, it equals and often surpasses both the previous generation flagship NVIDIA card and current range topper from AMD. With this in mind it can be argued that the GTX770 actually offers very good value for money. Sure, £330 is still a lot of cash for a card which cannot be labelled as class leading. It does however give those who like to watch the pennies flagship performance at a drastically reduced cost."

EVGA GTX 770 With ACX Cooler On LanOC
"The ACX cooling was especially impressive in our testing, when under load in game temperatures sat at 20 degree’s less than a reference cooler the entire time. This also translated to some impressive overclock numbers that on the memory side of things broke the speeds that I hit with the reference card."

Thermaltake A31 Blue Thunder Chassis Review On NinjaLane
"As you can probably tell I liked the color scheme much more than I expected. In fact, I love it. It's nice to see ThermalTake still offering so much variety in color even at this price point. The effect is only enhanced by the subtle blue lighting the rear 120mm provides. It has been a while since I found myself rummaging around the lab for a cold cathode kit!"
