In the Q500L we have support for an ATX configuration, which may come as a surprise to many given the tight dimensions. This computer case can house large CPU coolers, big graphics cards and has support for plenty of 2.5" and 3.5" storage too.

Corsair Ironclaw RGB Wireless and Glaive RGB Pro gaming mice Review

How do you differentiate a gaming mouse? Differentiation is a big concern when launching a new product, and it's particularly important in a market crowded with options. I might might argue that Corsair has already established itself as a market leader in gaming mice, however. In that case I think it could be more important to simply ship a solid product rather than packing it with gimmicks. Fortunately, I believe Corsair probably had that in mind for its new rodents. The question is, did the company succeed? Let's find out.

Lexip Pu94 Gaming Mouse Review

Just over a year ago I had an opportunity to review the Lexip 3D dual joystick mouse, which was an interesting evolution in terms of what mice, as conventional gaming devices, are capable of. At that time, Lexip had an updated mouse in the works that improved on the multi-faceted, multi-dimensional marvel that made their original Kickstarter campaign so successful. Has Lexip improved on their Pu94 gaming mouse enough to find its way onto gamers? desks everywhere, or should this mouse be kept in another dimension entirely?

Razer Nommo Chroma Speakers Review

The days of high-end audio setups for PC’s are really over in my opinion, especially when it comes to gamers. Most are going to be using headsets anyways. That is why simple 2.0 speaker setups work for them as a majority of the time they have headsets on. I actually have been using a 2.0 speaker set a couple of years and really like that I don’t have a massive sub sitting under my desk or a bunch of unnecessary speakers. Razer has sent us over their Nommo Chroma speakers, which are a 2.0 set with custom woven fiber 3-inch drivers, rear-facing bass ports, a unique design, and of course Razer’s Chroma RGB lighting. Is these the perfect speakers to compliment your setup? Read on as we find out!

Shuttle XPC slim DH370 mini-PC Review

Small form-factor (SFF) machines have predominantly used 5W - 45W TDP processors. The introduction of the mini-STX form-factor standardized a compact form factor for systems with processors having a TDP up to 65W. However, the mini-STX form-factor along with the associated cooling system is still too bulky for certain use-cases. Shuttles XPC slim line aims to serve the market segment requiring standard desktop processors in a compact form factor. These computers are a fit for a variety of business and commercial use-cases. Todays review takes a look at the Shuttle XPC slim DH370, a barebones PC platform that can accommodate the Intel 8th Gen. desktop processors.
