Silverstone GD01MX Grandia HTPC Case Review
I’ve been on a never-ending quest for the Ultimate Home Theater PC for many years. I seek the One Case to rule them all (as my HTPC server), and in darkness bind them (thru wireless ethernet).

Zalman 400A-APF PSU
Zalman just released their new 400w power supply which I was really looking forward to. I previously reviewed the Zalman 300A-APF power supply which was overall pretty good but was a little underpowered in my opinion. This new 400w from Zalman is pretty much the same deal as the 300w with no new technologies involved [...]
