12 cases review: Glass House for your pc

Last year it was the main trend in the world of computer cases: tempered glass side panels. Right now on multiple sides as well, or even a nearly completely glass case. We compare twelve models we tested.

We at Hardware.Info always say: there is no accounting for taste. Because of this we do not take looks into consideration for our conclusion; whether or not a certain design looks good is up to the reader. Nevertheless, most will agree that a tempered glass side panel looks a lot better on a case than a perspex window. Until recently this was only for exorbitantly priced models such as the In Win S Frame or the Antec S10. However, now the amount of ‘glass cases’ is increasing nearly every week, with prices that do not differ all that much from regular steel and plastic models. Existing models receive an update with glass, and more and more new cases use this material.

A Look At Intel’s Core i9-7900X X-Series 10-core Processor

When is a Core i7 not a Core i7? When it’s a Core i9! Intel’s latest and greatest processor, a 10-core chip clocked at 3.3GHz, comes to us in the form of the i9-7900X. Sharing the same 140W TDP of its predecessor, the i7-6950X, the $999 Skylake-X i9-7900X shaves at least $700 off the price, generation to generation, and performs better at the same time, too.

Seeing as Intel launched this (and other Core X) chips last month, I couldn’t tell you much here that you probably didn’t already know. I’ll tackle some basics, though, and then dive into a deeper look at the models available from Intel right now.

AMD Ryzen 3 Series Review

Based on their latest Zen architecture, AMD is proposing a low-end to mainstream segment with their Ryzen 3 SKUs; we are not discussing about a 2-core part but a real 4-core processor (SMT disabled) with dual CCXes, where each CCX module sports two active units. The processors do feature an 8MB L3 cache and are aimed to compete against the Pentium G4560, the Core i3-7100 but also the Core i3-7300 from Intel. Given the technical specifications and stock clocks, these CPUs are recommended to be paired with mainstream video cards in order to make smooth 1080P gaming possible.

ASRock X99 Taichi Review

ASRock seeks serenity among the X99 budget market. As a Tom's Hardware reviewer, I'm incredibly fortunate to get my hands on tech I otherwise wouldn't be able see (the X99 Godlike motherboard and EK custom loop kits come to mind). But as a pragmatic enthusiast, I realize that some of these components are well outside the reach of the majority of the readers here. So I get a different, yet longer-lasting thrill when I get to review motherboards or parts that I could actually afford to use in my personal builds.
Nevertheless, affordable parts are accompanied by a mix of excitement about new upgrades and foreboding that you'll be let down by too many corners cut to hit an adequately low price point. The arrival of ASRock's X99 Taichi elicited these thoughts.

GAMDIAS Ares GKC6000 Essential Keyboard and Mouse Combo Review

Most of the combo reviews I’ve written so far is from Cooler Master. It started with Devastator, continued with Octane and then the Masterkeys Lite L which is better out of the three. Gamdias is making a lot of gaming keyboard and mouse combo dubbed as ‘Ares’ and this particular one is the GKC6000.

MusiQi Wireless Charging Speaker Review

Here at Play3r we’re always on the lookout for new tech and new ways of using old tech, so when todays review product arrived on my desk, I was eager to get started. Bluetooth speakers are not anything we haven’t seen before, but this speaker also incorporates a phone stand and a Qi wireless charger, which definitely puts the MusiQi Wireless Charging Speaker from Fone Salesman in the unique product category. Of course, with so many products combined in one unit it should be awesome, but only if all three work seamlessly. To that end, let’s get down to business and take a look at what features you get for your money.
