Some of us spend more time at a desk than we would probably like to but then again some of that time is for entertainment.

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! The mod we have today comes from Simple Modz and is a tribute to the classic game Space Invaders.  There are Space Invader hints on both the outside and inside of the case.  The system is built inside of the In Win 805 case and Simple Modz added some really cool digital camouflage that really sets the case off!

CRYORIG C7 CPU Cooler Review

After my last exam in my undergraduate degree, I decided it would be a good idea to celebrate. Along with another friend who had finished her last exam, and some other friends, we went to a small bubble tea cafe. As we were all hungry, we decided to order some wings in addition to bubble tea. When I saw the price however, I almost had second thoughts about ordering them. With an average price of about 62 cents per wing Canadian, or about five cents US nowadays, I was a bit confused at why they would charge so much for so little. To give some background, the last time I went for wings, we ended up ordering one hundred wings split among eight people. They were practically two-bite wings, and were only 35 cents each. Thus to think such these same wings would be charged at a little less than two times the cost, I was rather surprised. We ended up ordering 32 wings among the four of us, thinking we could order more if we wanted. It was not until we received our order was I glad we stuck to the amount we ordered. While I was expecting bite-size wings, we received plates of relatively massive wings. Thankfully I had some hungry hippos friends, so finishing it was not too bad. As for myself, I learned a commonly taught lesson, and that is to not judge a book by its cover. While we may have preconceived expectations of certain things, sometimes it takes actually seeing, or eating in this case, before making any such judgement. When we received today's review unit of the CRYORIG C7, I had to heed my own advice in reviewing this product. Boasting a small footprint but better performance than a stock cooler, the bar is not exactly set high. But will its performance make me more amazed than even I would have expected? Let us read on to find out!

SeeMeCNC Eris

So yesterday I did a relatively short rundown on what is 3d printing and I also spoke about my visit with SeeMeCNC. Well today I’m actually going to dive into the SeeMeCNC Eris 3d printer that I picked up when I was visiting them. The Eris is their brand new portable delta printer. Not only is easy to carry, but they set out to make the Eris their first truly out of the box and printing experience. Generally, with most 3d printers you have a lot of build and setup time, but with the Eris shipping completely built and with their new Auto Leveling system they are hoping it will be a great printer for new 3d printing users. Well it just so happens, I’m that 3d printing noob, so I’m going to run you guys/girls through my experience from start to finish to help you decide if the Eris is the printer for you.

Thermaltake Core P5 Mid-Tower Review

For at least a decade now I’ve always wanted to mod a metal desk to build one of my test rigs in it since I’ve always thought it would look great but on one hand i never had the time while on the other i felt it wouldn't be as convenient when swapping components as a regular tower. Fast forward to today and some manufacturers such as Lian-Li have finally released such desks but with very hefty price tags however attached to them (you can build a high-end system for that amount) far from what most people can ever afford (or want to spend) for a PC case. This of course is nothing new so for casual consumers, overclockers and enthusiasts who are after roughly the same looks from a PC case but for a fraction of the price several manufacturers have released open frame wall-mounted cases and today we're taking a look at Thermaltake’s offering the Core P5.
