Microcool Banchetto 101 Open Air Modular Chassis

Posted by admin On May - 20 - 2010

The hardcore hardware tweakers will say that all you need is the box the motherboard came in. That’s true, but going that route you have parts strung all over a table as well, and let’s face it: with parts all over the place either there is a fight with the significant other or some hardware meets an untimely end. With a chassis like the Banchetto 101, not only does it look great but it keeps the hardware nice and neat. I really like the Banchetto 10. It makes rapid part changes easy and it is light so moving it around the workbench is a breeze. It does everything Microcool says it’s supposed to and it does it well…

Rosewill USB 3.0 Add-on Card and External Enclosure

Posted by admin On May - 20 - 2010

USB 3.0, aka SuperSpeed USB, is poised to take over the current USB 2.0 and becomes the de facto standard in the computer peripheral connection. With the theoretical transfer speed 10 times of the speed of the USB 2.0, it is not hard to see why manufacturers are excited with the USB 3.0. The good news is that USB 3.0 is backward compatible with USB 2.0 so your existing peripherals such as printer, digital camera and flash drives will still work. Of course, your devices will still only operate at USB 2.0 speed.

Antec ISK 310-150 Mini-ITX Desktop Case

Posted by admin On May - 17 - 2010

If you´re looking for a Mini-ITX computer case for your new “high-efficiency” platform the Antec ISK 310-150 might be the right product for your needs. In 2009, some Mini-ITX motherboards were launched based on the Intel Atom platform. Antec quickly response was the ISK 300-65. At this moment, many other brands like Zotac, ECS, ASUS or even ASRock have taken the Mini-ITX market and expanded it to make the HTPCs powerful and affordable. There was still a limiting since many products offered low power PSUs (65 watts is simply not enough). If you want a Mini-ITX H55 paired with the Intel Core i3/Core i5 CPUs you need at least a 150 watts PSU to make sure you won´t have power-related problems. Benchmark Reviews tests the Antec ISK 310-150 which offers a new, elegant front finish with a 150 watts Flex-ATX PSU to power your system.

Thermaltake V3 Black Edition ATX Computer Case

Posted by admin On May - 15 - 2010

One thing that manufacturers never seem to get right is a really cheap computer case. There are probably a hundred cheap cases from a number of manufactures, but they’ll likely sacrifice a few features like, aesthetics, expansion, functionality, and of course, quality. Thermaltake’s designers decided to get together, throw out the rule book, and came up with the V3 Black Edition computer case. Just to finally put the last nail in other budget competitors coffins, they decided to release this thing for $39.99 US. That’s crazy cheap, but the real question is, can it be too cheap? Let’s find out!
