Windows Central: This be quiet! PC case is perfect if you need additional airflow

be quiet!'s Pure Base 500 is a great mid-range PC case and the revamped Pure Base 500DX takes what made that chassis so good and turns up airflow to 11. There are also plenty of additional improvements, making it one of the best mid-tower cases around.

eTeknix: Creative X3 Hi-Res 7.1 SXFI USB DAC and Amplifier Review

Creative were once gods of PC audio, they’ve been around longer than many of our readers! However, a couple of years ago they stopped mucking about with a few gaming headsets and really put their foot back in the door. Super XFI, monster-sized and genuinely innovative soundbars, new amplifiers and DACs, and what I now think is the best range of consumer headphones on the market right now. They’re kicking ass, and that’s a fact. I already use their SXFI Theater Headphones daily, their SXFI Amp + Aurvana Earphones with my mobile and I still have my beaten up and dusty Creative T20 speakers on my desktop for the last 8 years or so. So when the Creative X3 was put on my desk, I feel I’ve got a pretty good grip on what it needs to deliver to outshine what I already use.

TechPowerUp: Bitspower Njord Dual Fin dRGB Fan Review

After testing Bitspower's value-oriented Touchaqua NJORD fans, we shift over to the more featured Njord Dual Fin fans. These come in two color options, offer niftier RGB lighting via the dual-fin rotor design, and have daisy-chained cable management that suits radiator fan placement, too.
