I’m in the middle of putting together a PC right now, and I just can’t believe the amount of stress people seem to put on flashy, brightly-lit components. Seems to me that every dollar you spend on colored LEDs is one less dollar you’re spending on performance. I prefer understated components that don’t make much noise, surrounded by a case that keeps them cool and quiet. NZXT’s H2 looks like a good bet. → Read More
If you spend a lot of time at LAN parties, or maybe have a dorm room with its door constantly open, you might be a little nervous about someone making off with your sweet new hundred dollar mouse or headphones.

How do you guys feel about PC cases these days? Are you a fan of the over-the-top styling that so many of them feature, or would you like something a little more staid? I ask because NZXT has a new case called the Phantom. It’s not too crazy—there’s no spinning lights or any of that jazz—and it’s a full tower. That’s key in case you want to rock dual video cards or want to add a bunch of PCI cards. → Read More
You know you want this fan controller. You don’t even knew what it does and you still want it. I’m right there with you, pal. It looks straight out of JJ Abrams’ Starship Enterprise and that’s good enough for me. → Read More
I’ve never succumbed to the Micro-ATX temptation, but I can see the draw. Not everyone has room for a full tower under their desk, and not everyone even wants the kind of hardware you generally fill a full tower with. If your graphics card is under a foot long, and your CPU doesn’t need an 8-inch tall cooling apparatus, you might find Micro-ATX to your liking. And with this new Vulcan case from NZXT, people won’t even tease you about it. → Read More
NZXT announced the launch of their new chassis (don’t call it a case) today. The new chassis, named the Hades is aimed directly at the gamer enthusiast market. Out of the box it’s set up for air cooling, however it’s pre-drilled to make it easier to add a water cooling mod later. → Read More
As a general rule, I tend not to like the flashy, semi-transparent, radically-designed PC cases. They’re for the showboats, the pro gamers, and so on. Give me a good steel chassis with lots of noise reduction and I’m set for life. But this one attracts me for some reason. I’m not sure I’d want it in my home, but if I were a showboating pro gamer, I think the Lexa would be on my short list. → Read More
