SilverStone Milo ML05 Chassis On SilentPCReview

"The Silverstone Milo series ML05 is one of the most attractive, really small HTPC cases we've seen. The acrylic mirror finish and understated design of the fascia fits in nicely with Silverstone's generally cool, modern theme. Given its modest price, the build quality is high"

Mike Chin - SilentPCReview.

Thermaltake eSPORTS Cronos Headset A Winner Says Neoseeker

"the Tt eSPORTS CRONOS is a headset that employs a very balanced soundstage that attempts to balance out all the instruments and lets each one stand out through its own melody. In many of our tests, the 40mm drivers brought outstanding stereo crosstalk and well-rounded clarity trumped only by our $200 ear buds. Outside of actual testing, I have worn the CRONOS for everyday music and it is still a treat to discover a new sense of depth to background harmonies and instruments from songs I have listened to for years."

Aaron Chen - Neoseeker.

SilverStone Raven RV04 Chassis On APH Networks

"The design of the SilverStone Raven RV04 simply does not cease to impress - and after staring at the same case for the last few weeks, I have yet to be bored. In fact, coming from a RV03, I am still a big fan of the RV04. Now, customization and slick design is a subjective topic, but if you find enough of the market to like it, it becomes a popular trend. The RV04's simple and clean design with a large window will certainly flatter your friends when they come over."

Lian Li PC-Q30 SFF Chassis On eTeknix

EVGA GTX 770 Classified On HighTech Legion

"We knew that the GTX 770 platform is an absolute beast going in, so there is really little reason to rehash that here. Simply look at the benchmark results. It’s faster than a GTX 680, has positively incredible price to performance, but is a little high on the power usage end of things. So what did EVGA do with this beast of a platform? They simply tweaked every ounce of its potential out of it while staying within safe voltages and temps right out of the box. If that isn’t enough for you, they gave you a myriad of tweaking options to work with."

George Cella - HiTechLegion.

Thermaltake eSPORTS Cronos Headset Wows @ Overclockers Club

"While bass-heads may be disappointed in the bass output of the CRONOS most people will have no complaints in that department. The clear and non-fatiguing sound combined with the utility of the folding earcups and interchangeable cables mesh together into a great headset that really doesn't have any drawbacks."

Noctua NH-L9 Low Profile Coolers: The FrostyTech Recommendation

"at low fan speed, the NH-L9i is roughly 25-35°C cooler than all five other sub-45mm low profile heatsinks in the heatsink reference chart. Given the choice between a Evercool HPL-815, Scythe Kozuti, Thermolab TLI-U, Silverstone NT07-775 and Zalman CNPS2X, the Noctua NH-L9i is our recommendation."

Thermaltake Massive 14 Square Notebook Cooler On FunkyKit

"The Thermaltake Massive 14² Notebook Cooler is pretty impressive to say the least. The durablility of the plastic construction is surprising despite the light-weight design. This notebook cooler is very ergonomic-friendly with multiple adjustments to maximize comfort levels. The cooling performance for the price adds to the overall value of the product. The soft glow of the Blue LED 140mm fans adds a nice accent to the surrounding area and does not distract."

Nvidia 3Gb GTX 780 Ti Graphics Card Intro By eTeknix

"Nvidia’s GTX 780 Ti is a mammoth graphics card. It quite easily beats everything else on offer. In relation to the GTX 780 it is easily 10-15% faster depending on the 3D application, in relation to the GTX Titan its about 5-10% depending on the 3D application and it is also about 5% faster than the R9 290X depending on the application."

SilverStone RV04 Chassis On OCIA

"For its fourth generation RAVEN case, SilverStone has abandoned the 90° rotated interior component layout and gone with a more traditional configuration. As the RV03 and a revamped edition of the RV02 are both still available for those who want the original format, the RV04 introduces the RAVEN appearance to those who prefer a standard tower orientation. Although upright and lacking the long, low-slung look, the RV04 maintains excellent cooling properties with its dual 180mm Air Penetrator fans and separate top-mount power supply chamber."

Zahn Funk - OCIA.

Thermaltake Volos Gaming Mouse On NiKKtech

"the VOLOS is really one of the most comfortable to use gaming mice we've ever used especially if you have medium to large hands like we do. Accuracy is also excellent, glide is extremely good, the lift-off setting works as it should, all buttons have good feedback (not very soft) and speed well if you play at 2560x1600 like we do (or more) you will be able to see exactly how fast the 8200DPI of the Avago laser sensor really are"

TechPowerUp Review EVGAs 780 Ti 03G-P4-2884-KR Graphics Card

"EVGA's GTX 780 Ti SuperClocked with ACX cooler delivers truly impressive performance. While the GTX 780 Ti is very fast already, EVGA topped it by quite a big margin with their overclock out of the box and the new ACX cooler. ACX plays a significant role in these improvements as it enables the card to run cooler, which results in better performance due to NVIDIA's GPU Boost 2.0 mechanism."

OC Clubs's ClayMeow Reports From Nvidias 'Way It's Meant to Be Played' Event

"While I'm sure there are many people excited about GameStream, Twitch support, 4K Surround, and the GTX 780 Ti, it's NVIDIA's answers to those aforementioned questions that I'm most excited about. Flex, GI Works, and Flame Works are huge leaps forward for game development, while G-Sync will allow gamers to experience all that in buttery smooth goodness. Want to run your favorite game maxed out, but can't achieve a high, stable FPS? No need to worry if you have a Kepler GPU and G-Sync monitor. Those next-gen consoles may be getting most of the spotlight, but it's a great time to be a PC gamer!"

Thermaltake F5 Fan Controller Review By TechGage

"For sure, I think the F5 is worthwhile if you need to keep fan speeds under precise control. In my opinion, manual fan controllers make the most sense for users who run super-fast (and therefore super-noisy) fan set-ups, primarily to combat super-high ambient temperatures during the summer: Instead of swapping out fans when the weather changes, you can just dial your fans’ capabilities according to your current needs."

Anyone with the desire to be different than everyone else, look no further than the Raven 4, as it will definitely be something I guarantee all of your friends won't have anything like."

SilverStone Tundra TD02 A-I-O Liquid Loop On OCIA

"What I consider the most appealing of their unique design particulars is the all-metal pump housing. Every other manufacturer I've seen incorporates some form of plastic, which has a greater likelihood of cracking or warping, whether from overaggressive/improper installation, overtensioning or overheating."

Zahn Funk - OCIA.

Thermaltake NiC F4 Cooler Review On Overclockers Club

"Thermalatake's NiC series CPU coolers address one of the big concerns that the community faces when using larger more efficient coolers. They almost always impact the amount of memory one can install and how many DIMM slots can be populated. Most require either low-profile DRAM modules or only populating the slots furthest from the processor socket. If you are only using 8 or 16GB of memory in a 2 x 4GB or 2 x 8GB configuration you can most likely get away with taller modules. Filling up all the DIMM slots is going to necessitate a compromise in either DRAM capacity or alternate fan mounting solutions at best. The NiC series and specifically the NiC-F4 will allow you to populate all of the DRAM slots and still use a large efficient cooling solution with both fans properly attached to maximize airflow through the curved 0.4mm aluminum heat sink fins."

SilverStone NT06-PRO Cooler On FutureLooks

"There are simply very few low profile high performance CPU coolers for home theater computers or mini-ITX gaming systems.

Noctua NF-S12A 120mm Fans On OverclockersClub

"Noctua seems to thrive off of achieving the impossible. Every generation its fans are always slower, quieter, and crazier looking than the previous. Noctua competes with other top brands whose fans are much more powerful, and yet it still delivers. The company not only stays competitive, Noctua continues to make its own equipment better. Compared to the last generation, it has made the fans quieter and raised the airflow while retaining the same RPMs. Though the differences seem minimal, this is impressive because of how good the last generation of fans really were."

Noctua & The Wife Acceptance Factor On Big Bruin

"The bottom line is that these coolers have made this HTPC the quietest it has ever been, and since it is installed in my bedroom - where my wife happens to spend even more time than me - that is definitely a good thing. The wife acceptance factor has never been so important, and if she can forget that there is a computer running 24/7 over in the corner, I would say paying a bit extra is a worthy investment."

The fan runs at only 1500 RPM and when using the low-noise adapter it goes down to 1150 RPM. Even when you add a second fan the cooler is not loud at all."

Benchmark Reviews Examine The SilverStone Tundra TD03 A-I-O Liquid Cooler

"Possibly the most interesting quality of the TD03 is the value. As of August 2013, the SilverStone SST-TD03 was selling for $99.99 online (NewEgg / Amazon), which is right in the ballpark of what you would pay for a 45mm thick radiator and a push/pull configured AIO liquid cooler. Once you throw the metal construction of the custom water block and unique radiator (resulting in some impressive performance) in the picture, I’d say that’s a fair price."

SilverStone AR03 CPU Cooler Stands Its Ground - Even Against Liquid Coolers!

"With its greater surface area and additional heat-pipes, the AR03 should be your choice if you are working with higher thermal loads from high-end processors. It may be overkill for some setups, but that’s what the other Argon coolers are for.

I was surprised to see the AR03 go toe-to-toe with some popular all-in-one liquid coolers. Of course, this shouldn’t be that surprising – usually, the more surface area the cooler has to dissipate heat, the better it will perform. With its larger 140mm width and six 6mm direct-contact heat-pipes, the AR03 handles the heat from an overclocked FX processor without an issue."

Furthermore, its slim form factor is a welcome addition to today’s market of super saturated, big-metal-chunk approach to cooling. Because it is so slim, it will not interfere with adjacent RAM slots."

Thermaltake Chaser A71 On Benchmark Reviews

"Every time I start shopping around for a new chassis, I tell myself that my priorities are as follows; features, followed by dimensions, and finally, aesthetics. However, I end up considering all of the cool-looking cases first, and if one of those visually appealing towers has the size and features I’m looking for, that’s usually the one I go with. I think what Thermaltake has in the Chaser A71 is a case that has the necessary visual appeal to grab your attention, and then seal the deal with everything else it has going for it. Yeah, it doesn’t look like Megatron, but it is still going to turn heads. In all reality, it has the look to play the role of either a gaming rig, a desktop PC found in a professional setting, or both."

Thermaltake Chaser A41 Chassis Review On OverclockersClub

"The Chaser A41 is a nice looking mid tower case - not too dramatic and not too bland. The fit and finish are excellent, and I have to say I was surprised by the air flow. I fully expected the Ostrog GT with the twin 140mm front fans to lead the race, but the A41 stayed right there through all the testing. It offers the expandability of support for liquid cooling, multiple video cards, four 5.25" drive bays, and up to five 3.5" HDD bays. The cable management and space is top notch, which allows for a really clean build. My oversized extended ATX motherboard is right at home in the A41."

PCGamers.net.au Check Out The New Noctua NH-U12S Cooler

"This is a premium product from a specialty manufacturer that is both thermally effective and acousticly pleasing. I really liked the NH-U12S and would happily use it in any of my own personal systems. The fan clips and mounting system make the heat sink really easy to install and clean later down the track if dust is an issue. For all the reasons above, it's a worthy inclusion into a quality build"

SilverStone ST45SF-G PSU On TweakTown - A Little Gem!

"Performance wise, the ST45SF-G is just what we have come to expect from SilverStone. We'd be quite unhappy if it wasn't up to the standards that they've set for themselves. Voltage regulation faired the best for the ST45SF-G with the 12V and 5V rails staying within 1% of specifications. The 3.3V rail wasn't too far off, staying with 2% itself. DC Output quality could have been a little better, but with a maximum of only 46mV on the 12V rail, it is more than low enough for a stable rig with quality power. The efficiency was spot on during our testing as well, meaning that the ST45SF-G passes with flying colors."

SilverStone Tundra TD03 A-I-O Liquid Cooler Impresses At Vortez

"During our benchmarks the TD03 performed well in our extensive cooling league and demonstrated that it can give other rivals a run for their money. Stock and overclocked results when used on Intel’s high-end Sandy Bridge-E were admirable but noise levels were perhaps on the loud side, especially when overclocked since the cooling fans move up to 2500RPM (100%).

Not only do we like TD03 for its build quality but we found it was very easy to install too and the mounting system can be confidently relied upon – components are again, very good in their quality and easy to use."

Hitech Legion Check Out The Wicked Precision PS08 Budget Mid Tower From SilverStone

"I do not mind the non-availability of tool-free mounting as I always prefer secure mounting over a swift install. I am not a reviewer that grants points for how convenient the installation was for me but I do consider how effective the installation will be for average and beginner users. A lot of manufacturers simply toss in the tool-free mounting feature, inconsiderate of whether it secures well or whether it fails. I’m glad Silverstone was more sensible in their approach and opted for a much more secure installation method."

Thermaltake Urban S71 Chassis Finds Sweet Spot @ TweakTown

"Costing the same as the Chaser A71 is nice to see, and it really gives users a very different way to see the design now that we have seen the Urban S71. Both being averagely priced at $139.99 in most locations makes this another chassis that really delivers a fully featured full-tower chassis, that doesn't break the magic $150 mark, where most users have as a cutoff for what they will spend on a chassis.

As much as I liked what I saw with the first chassis like this, the Urban S71 is a stunning looking, full featured solution that is well worth the investment and one that can grow as your needs and desires change over time."

LegitReviews Graphicgasim Over EVGAs GTX 760 Superclocked With ACX Cooler!

"When it comes to visual appearance the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked also gets a big thumbs up. The triple black color scheme and ACX cooler give it a fairly aggressive look that is not too bold or overpowering. The EVGA ACX GPU cooler has just three copper heatpipes and that concerned us at first as the EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Superclocked w/ ACX cooling had five. After running this card we discovered that it idled at 25C and never hit 70C even with our extreme overclock. With temperatures like that you don't need to worry about GPU temperatures and even when overclocking we left the fans on auto!

The EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked w/ ACX runs $259.93 shipped and is backed by a 3-year warranty. We have to say that it is worth every penny! It looks like enthusiast community knows that though and the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB w/ ACX ($249.99) and the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB Superclocked w/ ACX are both frequently out of stock. If you wanted to spend right around $250 on a graphics card, this is the one we would get today."

Thermaltake NiC C5 Cooler On Vortez

"Thermaltake have addressed a key issue which many enthusiasts are concerned with – memory clearance. The new NiC C5 does not overhang any of the memory slots on the motherboard and as a result means that a memory kit of any height can be used in conjunction with this cooler. This is great, because it removes any such limitations – low profile memory kits are mandatory for many other CPU coolers which overhang the slots.

In all our performance tests we found the NiC C5 to be a great CPU cooler. We tested both extremes of low and high settings on the fan controller but since this controller has a variable knob and not a two-switch state, we are able to tweak the fan speed accordingly, finding the balance between noise and performance."

Thermaltake eSPORTS Theron Mouse On HardwareHeaven

"The performance of the Theron is excellent and given its RTS target market we tested it extensively with StarCraft 2. We found that the accuracy of the Theron was spot on and with a click heavy game like StarCraft 2 the OMRON switches performed very well. The switches on the Theron have a life cycle of 50 million clicks so it will certainly stand up to anything we can throw at it."

Thermaltake Chaser A71 Chassis Review On TweakTown

"The Chaser A71 is very solid in all aspects. With the panels off, the chassis does not flex much at all, the tool-free clips on the ODD bays are very secure and kept the DVD drive locked tight. The removable bay covers on the front don't rattle and are easy to access and remove from outside the chassis, I mean no matter where I want to look at the way the Chaser A71 was built or holds on to components, things are right as rain, and exactly what you should look for in a chassis.

When it comes down to the all mighty dollar, and we have to get back to the pricing, I still feel, maybe even more so, that the Chaser A71 from Thermaltake is feature rich, aesthetically appealing, a pleasure to work with, and for $139.99 that most people are listing it for, I not only think it is money well spent, but I strongly urge you to go out and at least look at one - the images are close, but they just don't do this case the justice it deserves in my humble opinion."

Legion Hardware Examine Thermaltakes Urban S71 Chassis

"The Thermaltake Urban S71 is clearly going to be an attractive option for those who prefer a more minimalistic design. We really appreciated the attention to detail, build quality and overall polish of the case. So, if you’ve made it past that first hurdle of looks, the next question is how does the Urban S71 fare in terms of value? With the quality tool-less design, sound damping that does the job very well, plenty of room to move and great cable management, we believe this case is well worth purchasing. For those hoping to build a professional looking no fuss kind of rig, the Urban S71 makes for a perfect future-proof base."

EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked With ACX On LanOC

"The reference GTX 760 left a little to be desired both in its cooling as well as styling. EVGA did a great job improving on both of those things. I think the ACX cooling of the EVGA GTX 760 Superclocked w/ACX is going to look great in any build without drawing to much attention as well. Even better yet was the boost in performance that I saw over the stock speeds with the GTX 760 Superclocked w/ACX’s overclock. The overclocked numbers inched close and sometimes beyond the performance of the GTX 670, at a considerably lower cost. Speaking of cost, this card is going to run you $259.99 at launch, $10 more than the reference card. For $10 you are getting much better cooling, styling, and a big boost in performance."

Pro-Clockers Check Out The Thermaltake Urban S21 Chassis

"For a long time I have waited for Thermaltake to release a case what could be classified as elegant and sleek. Well, my wish has come true with the Urban series. This is my first look into the series and hopefully not my last as there are larger versions is the Urban S21. The Urban S21 is the smallest of the group but still portray the looks that anyone would be looking for in a classy case. Visually, the entire exterior surface is smooth and worthy of being displayed in any room of a typical house including the living room where people tend to be a little more discriminatory.

Yes, the Urban S21 is a refined case but if is still capable of servicing those that are looking for a modest gaming rig. There is plenty of room for multiple long video cards and plenty of space for a decent amount of mechanical storage devices and we know many gamers and enthusiasts are into water-cooling. With the S21, you can take advantage of the many 120mm mountable all-in-one coolers like the Thermaltake Water 2.0 Performer and Pro. Not into water? Well, there is plenty of width in the case to support some large air-coolers like the Thermaltake Frio series."

EVGA GTX 770 SC With ACX Cooling Review By NinjaLane

"EVGA raises the bar even further with the SC edition by bumping the base clock and memory speed for even more performance. Nice. Now, throw in the ACX system and you can count on 20% better cooling efficiency, a reduced sound signature and a marked increase in the expected life span of the card. Since ACX is a replacement to the reference cooler you can enjoy all of these benefits with almost no change to the power draw even at load. There is a price premium for the ACX cooling solution but at around $20 more this is an upgrade you can afford to pay for."

The New PC-Q27 From Lian Li On Tweaktown

"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."

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."

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."

"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."

"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."

Meet The New GTX 780 From Nvidia!


EVGA 03G-P4-2781-KR GTX 780 graphics cards are now available!

Nvidia GeForce 780 Card Performance Overview & Introduction By eTeknix

"There are a number of additional advantages of getting the GTX 780, most of these down to small features such as the improved fan controller that gives a smoother audible output of the coolers fan, but the massive advantage is the price. At £549 the GTX 780 is by no means cheap, however it is considerably less than Titan and if you’re gaming on a single screen then to be honest I would recommend you look at this card.

For those of you that have awaited the arrival of the 700 series to upgrade from a GTX 580 for example, now is the time to do so. Whilst there are some good gains to be seen over a previous generation GTX 680, the difference that will be seen over a GTX 580 is far greater with around a 70% performance gain to be had.

Some may find the launch of the 700 series cards conveniently times in relation to the upcoming launch of Haswell and whilst there have been changes in launch dates, NVIDIA stress that this is purely coincidental, however from a new buyers point of view, this is the ripe opportunity to upgrade and with the imminent launch of Intel’s new 4th Generation chips, the combination will see some amazing results – re-writing the definition of high quality, high resolution gaming."

Thermaltake NiC F4 CPU Cooler Review By Pro-Clockers

"The cooler took on our moderately overclocked Intel 3930K and performed better than some of the larger coolers we have tested and it was done efficiently without a crazy amount of noise.

One feature, and perhaps are most notable one as Thermaltake said, is the 'non-interference' cooling space aspect. Yes, this is a big one for many users as coolers are getting to the point where if you really want to use a good air-cooler, you have to sacrifice your ram for another model in order to fit such huge cooler. Fortunately, that is not the case with the Thermaltake NiC F4. From the images we have shown you, the cooler with the fans attached on it still allowed the use of all eight slots on our test board."

I can write an entire paragraph about this fact, but let's just call it what it is and get it over with, the noise levels are darn good and thus extremely silent, even with two fans in push-pull configuration noise should not be an issue whatsoever."

Tt eSPORTS Knucker Keyboard On BenchmarkReviews

"The Tt eSPORTS Knucker keyboard supports up to 12-key anti-ghosting in USB mode and 16 anti-ghosting in PS/2 mode. For gamers that need to adjust key repeat rate on the fly the Knucker is the only keyboard that supports this feature to my knowledge. The plunger switches will give you a better experience in comparison to a regular rubber dome keyboard and come very close to real mechanical switch with regards to tactile feedback."

Tt eSPORTS Theron Mouse Review By NikkTech

"the price tag of the Theron is extremely tempting and so because of its design and all of its features specifications i really think it's a steal especially since there aren't many gaming mice in the market currently that can offer the same (lightning fast speed, great grip, excellent gliding)."

LOMAC 3 Released!


So... LOMAC is back - And looking the part as well! To get the best from simulations on this level, you'll be needing a good joystick at the least, however you'll want a HOTAS to really turn & burn! Don't forget that your control inputs aren't complete without rudder pedals and a TrackIR.

TweakTown Review Thermaltakes Chaser A41 Mid Tower Chassis

"Structurally the chassis is great. There is no flex to discuss, plenty of room in front of and behind the tray, all the drive options most gamers are going to require, the design is really well thought out. With all of the mesh down the front, the large open top, and the ventilated bottom and rear of the chassis, the three fans included with the chassis offer ample air flow, with minimal noise."
