Lian Li Black PC-U6 Cowry

Lian Li Introduces Special Edition PC-U6 Cowry Mid-Tower Chassis Lian Li Industrial Co. Ltd, maker of high-end, all-aluminum computer chassis since 1983, today launches the all-new and extremely stylish special edition PC-U6 Cowry: an all-black, PC case with design characteristics of a seashell. This unique PC chassis provides users with a computer case that exhibits personality and craftsmanship while breaking free of simply being a box to house components.

Inspired by nature, the Cowry appeals to a very specific niche. It is not meant to be hidden under a desk but instead incorporated into its surroundings as a part of decoration and reflection of taste. Until now, PC chassis with unique designs have been marketed towards gamers. With the Cowry an entirely new demographic will begin looking at how their computer case can act as an artistic expression.

The PC-U6 Cowry is extremely versatile with plenty of build space. Users can mount three 3.5” and two 2.5” internal HDDs. All of the HDD mounts are tool-less and come with anti-vibration thumb screws with rubber suspension. Externally, one 5.25” ODD tool-less mount is located at the top of the front-panel. Four, ventilated PCI slots are located on the back-panel with enough space to mount graphics cards as long as 310mm. Micro-ATX or Mini-ITX motherboards mount using thumb-screws within the PC-U6 Cowry as well as a standard ATX PS/2 Power supplyunit, that mounts at the base of the case right above ventilating holes protected by a washable air filter.

Lian Li's special edition Cowry is thermally-optimized as well. Two side-panel 120mm fans keep airflow constantly circulating to prevent heat buildup. Both fans are protected by washable air filters. A fan speed control-switch has been included as well, allowing users to adjust fan speeds as desired. To further aid airflow, designers have incorporated ventilation holes on the front and rear panels of the PC-U6 Cowry and both are protected by washable air filters. Two, rubber-ringed holes are also included for users to be able to easily mount a liquid cooling system.

This special edition PC case comes with two USB 3.0 ports, one e-SATA port, and HD audio ports; all are located at the base of the front-panel. Also included is one USB 3.0 to USB 2.0 converter. Lian Li has also included cable clamps and openings throughout the case to aid in the internal organization of users' computers. Sparing no expense, for users who wish to add some color to highlight the uniqueness of this case, a 530mm red LED kit is included and can be mounted easily.

The special edition, all-aluminum, PC-U6 weighs in at 4.5kg. Its dimensions are 219mm x 500mm x 410mm (W, H, D).

Traditional Durability
The essence of Lian Li is the craftsmanship of the engineering. Intrinsic to the workmanship and quality of Lian Li's products is their customization capabilities, which include a whole host of optional extras that can be added to an already feature rich product.

Music Beta by Google Announcement

Check out Engadget's coverage of Google I/O 2011's opening keynote and the announcement of Music Beta by Google. If you hurry, they are handing out invitations to the (currently free) service.

Google dropped an amazing amount of stuff on us this morning, up to and including using your phone to turn off a lamp and a tablet to control a giant wooden labyrinth. Move past the flash, though, and the news with the most immediate impact to Android users is the release of the Music Beta by Google, plus the availability of movie rentals on the go. Now you can take your tunes all up into the cloud and pay too much to bring some movies along with you. That all sounds great, but we have somewhat mixed feelings about the whole thing.

What Web Browser is Fastest for Windows in 2011?

We are always looking for more efficient ways to do things in the office and one of the things I recommend to the guys at work is to dump IE8 and use something like chrome. Its amazing how many people still use IE8 and just think its just the PC they are using or the network they are on.
Our old friends over at Legit Reviews have compiled this outstanding review/guide testing 15 browsers out there today.:

For the past two years we have taken the time to stop doing hardware and do give web browsers a chance at the spotlight. This year is no exception and we will be taking our most in-depth look at web browsers ever. Back in 2009 when we started doing performance testing on web browsers we ran the Peacekeeper benchmark and called it a day. The next year we didn't feel like that was enough, so we tested even more browsers and also included SunSpider Javascript benchmark results. This year we wanted to trump what we did the year before, so we have taken the time to run seven tests on 15 different browsers. We wanted this article to be your 'one stop shop' to help you determine what web browser is fastest and best suites your needs.

Web Browser Benchmarks and/or Feature Tests Used:

Futuremark Peacekeeper Browser Benchmark
V8 Benchmark Suite - version 6 Benchmark
Sunspider 0.9.1 JavaScript Benchmark (1 interation)

About the Playseat Racing Game Chair Inventor


The founder and current president of the Playseats Company Dr. Fernando Smit is a big motorsport fan. He’s a former professional karts driver and was selected as the Dutch Enduro Champion in the 125 cc classes in 1997 and 1998.
One day he decided to mount one of his old Spargo seats onto a metal frame. He attached a steering wheel and pedal box to the frame and there it was: the ultimate real racing feeling. The first Playseat was born.
He showed it around to his friends and fellow drivers an they all agreed he was on to something big. Before he knew it, he was spending his days (and nights) building frames for other dedicated gamers. In 2002, when the demand started to exceed his capacity, he upgraded from his small shop in Holland to a full manufacturing facility located in China.
Today, Playseats has grown to become a major player in gaming. From its well known trademark, to securing a number of patents, Playseats has earned an international reputation for delivering quality seats that are quick to assemble and easy to store and transport.
