APH Networks: Fractal Design Pop 2 Air Black TG RGB Review
What exactly is a budget product? I think this shifts over time. When it comes to cars, the Honda Civic is probably one that comes to mind when people mention "economy car". I remember buying a brand new 2007 Honda Civic for about $23,000 CAD, including all taxes and fees, which, while it was an economy car, was certainly far from being basic compared to, say, a 1992 Honda Civic. The 2007 model had power windows and locks, alloy rims, air conditioning, and ABS brakes, all of which were not standard features 18 years earlier. Fast forward 18 years to 2025, you will not be able to find a Honda Civic without all of the above. My colleague Aaron Lai bought a Honda Civic Hybrid Sport Touring last year, and calling that an economy car would simply be a misnomer. It has heated leather seats, 12-speaker Bose audio system, LED headlights, and full driver assistance features, which are not too different than the ones found on luxury models. Now, the car did run him over $42,000 CAD -- significantly more than what I paid in 2007. When it comes to computer cases, I think we are blurring similar lines. Tempered glass and RGB LED used to be where the money is, but we have a surprisingly good budget selection nowadays that has them, including the SilverStone Lucid 05 and Fractal Design Epoch Black TG RGB Light Tint. Unlike cars, however, prices have not changed much. The Thermaltake Matrix VX I reviewed almost 20 years ago was $90 at the time of review, or about $145 in today's money. However, the Fractal Design Pop 2 Air Black TG RGB I am reviewing today carries an MSRP of only $100. How did they do this, and is it any good? Read on to find out!

The Guru of 3D: Noctua NH-D15 G2 chromax.black CPU Cooler Review
Noctua’s NH-D15 G2 chromax.black is not only relevant — it’s a statement piece, a reminder that engineering elegance often outperforms brute-force liquid loops and marketing flash. The original NH-D15 became legendary because it simply worked.
