So, you’re an Incredibly Cheap Bastard and decided that you need a brand-spanking new PC case instead of screwing Ebay sellers for brand-name quality merchandise for a fraction of the cost.  Since you’re an Incredibly Cheap Bastard, then not just any old inexpensive case will do: you have to have a really cool-looking case without [...]

Xion Predator AXP 970 Case Review

I’m always a bit skeptical of gaming cases, or the enthusiast cases.  There’s no way I could convince myself to walk into my nearest Fry’s and pick one off the shelf that looked good.  It simply goes against the common sense that many of us have developed to do our research before we buy.  That [...]

I’ll say it like it is, The Cooler Master Elite 310 is not the case you’re going to be selecting for your next powerful gaming rig. However, it still a solid case that would be suitable for a budget build or if you’re going for something less flashy. The one we received was the model [...]

CoolerMaster Gladiator 600 Mid-Tower Case Review

I know a lot of computer enthusiasts that are passionate about electronics, but just don’t have a wad of cash to spend on their hobby.  They still take pride in their rigs, which is what partly fuels the dying modding community.  Still, good computer cases can be found that anyone would be proud to have, regardless [...]

NZXT Tempest Evo Case Review

I’ll never get tired of reviewing cases.  Sure, I don’t get to do the kind of extensive testing that’s reserved for internal hardware, but there’s something about a gaming case that grabs my attention and doesn’t let go.  I’ve been known to procrastinate when it comes to work.  Unless I open my door to a [...]

A generation ago the only way to tell the difference between a high end gaming PC and a beige office box was by looking inside.  Today PC gamers want to brand their gear as fashionable as gaming consoles, so everyone knows what’s up.  There are no shortages of gaming computer cases, and because there are so many [...]

Back in the day when computer modding was brand new, people came up with some of the most innovative PC cases. Some shoved their cases into custom steel cases, acrylic and even cases made from Legos. By far one of the most prestine-looking cases have been made from wood. I even did a case mod [...]
