Anidees AI Crystal Cube Lite Case Review

With tempered glass becoming a trend on modern computer cases, the Anidees AI Crystal Cube Lite certainly stands out from the crowd with its 5mm thick tempered glass panels. But what exactly is Anidees? This design company was founded in 2011. It is popular in European countries, such as Germany, France, and more. Most people may not have heard of Anidees, but the company strives to provide great quality products by listening to ideas from people like you and me. With that in mind, the Crystal Cube Lite looks very promising with its flexible water and air cooling capabilities, glass panels, and small form-factor design. In this article for Benchmark Reviews, we will be taking a look at the AI Crystal Cube Lite case to see what Anidees has in store for us.

Corsair Glaive RGB Gaming Mouse Review

When you think of Corsair gaming products the first thing you probably think about is their gaming keyboards, but their gaming mice are pretty great too. I am actually still using their Scimitar Pro RGB as my everyday mouse. Today Corsair is introducing a brand new gaming mouse, the Glaive RGB. Glaive has been designed specifically for FPS and MOBA gamers to deliver ultimate performance as well as comfort. It features a 16000 DPI optical sensor, interchangeable thumb grips, OMRON switches, 6 programmable buttons, and the ability to save profiles on the mouse itself. Let’s see if this is the ultimate gaming mouse!

ECS LIVA Z Plus Review

Back to the topic at hand! This being the second LIVA I had the pleasure to review, the process of setting up and getting real-world use out of it was much easier the second time around. I'm not saying it was overly complicated, but I spent a lot less time reading about SoC architectures in preparation for this review.The one thing that threw me off was the inclusion of Intel vPro technology. Going to Intels website has never helped in the past and it was no different this time. Using phases like "Strengthen Software Security from the Inside" and "Lighten Your Heaviest Workloads" isn't helpful on a website solely designed to sell you a product. After some Googling, I found out that it is basically an advanced remote desktop. The reason I bring this up is because the LIVA Z i5 7300U model just gained a whole new untapped market. The average consumer will never use the features and quite honestly, only businesses are going to be on the look out for such features. That being said, at my day job, the company bought a few used UCFF (Ultra-Compact Form Factor) PCs left over from an oil drilling company. It is not unheard of for companies to use this type of computers because they are low power and generally solid state, meaning no moving parts. Add in the ability to remote into the device in a secure fashion with offsite management and it becomes very desirable to IT workers out in the field.

Fierce PC Blackfire Hammerhead (R5 1500X/RX 580) System Review

With both AMD’s RX 500-series GPUs and Ryzen 5 processors launching over the past few weeks, Fierce PC thought it would be a good idea to bring both components together in an all-AMD gaming rig. Priced at £1199.95, does the Blackfire Hammerhead hit the price-to-performance sweet-spot?

Prey Performance Analysis

We test Prey on 14 graphics cards at 1080p, 1440p and 4K using highest settings and also take a look at VRAM usage, which is surprisingly modest. The article also describes how to adjust the field of view (which can't be changed in-game), how to remove the hidden FPS cap and how to skip the intro.

Sony MDR-Z1R Review

Sony have released some iconic headphones in the past, however in recent years they have been pretty much absent from the high end arena. In a recent change of strategy they decided to unveil a new flagship headphone which they are calling the MDR-Z1R. Not the snappiest of names but after spending plenty of head time with them in recent months, I decided to share my findings with KitGuru readers.
