eTeknix: Thermaltake View 380 XL WS Chassis Review
The Thermaltake View 380 XL WS ARGB is a dual-chamber mid-tower chassis designed to meet the demands of modern PC enthusiasts and gamer, combining a sleek, panoramic glass design with elegant wood accents, this chassis is tailored for high-end builds that prioritise visual flair, cooling and high-end component compatibility. Admittedly, this isn’t exactly a new concept, as other brands and Thermaltake themselves have been ticking all these boxes for years; even the wood accents are nothing new these days, but if the price is right, Thermaltake has crammed in a lot of great features here, that are sure to appeal to a large number of high-end PC builders.
TechPowerUp: Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Review
Noctua continues to expand its collaboration product range with the Antec Flux Pro. Just like its other partnerships, the case doesn't simply ship with a set of Noctua fans, but ones that are tuned for this specific chassis and layout. Paired with a unique color scheme, the Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition makes for a very good result between the two brands, even though it is quite expensive.
KitGuru: Cougar CFV235 Case Review
Today we’re taking a look at the Cougar CFV235 mid-tower chassis. It features Cougar’s Central Floating Ventilation design, support for up to EATX motherboards, including back connect, and comes with pre-installed ARGB PWM fans straight out of the box. On paper, there’s plenty of cooling potential too with support for up to nine fans and 360mm radiators, along with clearance for graphics cards up to 430mm long. As always, we’ll be checking out build quality, ease of installation, thermal performance, and overall value to see if the CFV235 is worth considering for your next build.
IgorsLAB: Antec Flux Pro Noctua Edition Review – Quiet and understated, yet packed with power
With the Noctua edition of the Flux Pro, Antec and Noctua are bringing a particularly exciting collaboration to market, an airflow-optimized case that comes from the factory with high quality Noctua fans and was developed specifically for quiet high-end systems. The foundation is Antec’s well-known Flux Airflow concept, which already delivered very strong cooling performance in the standard model. In the Noctua edition, several NF-A14x25 G2 and NF-A12x25 G2 fans are added, along with a dedicated fan hub. This is intended to further optimize both cooling performance and noise levels.

ThinkComputers: MSI MAG Pano 120R PZ Case Review
A while back we did a MSI Project Zero build in their MEG Maestro 700L PZ case. This case featured a massive curved glass panel and was quite an impressive case. While it was impressive the price tag of $399 really kept the case out of the average builders hands. Well today we have another MSI case that has a similar design with a big curved glass panel, but it is half the price. This case is the MAG Pano 120R PZ and beyond the big curved glass panel the case will ship with seven included ARGB fans with a controller, support for E-ATX motherboards as well as back-connect motherboards, graphics cards as long as 338 mm, 360mm radiators, vertical GPU support, and even a GPU support bracket. Let’s take a look and see what this case is all about!

Hardware Busters: Epomaker Galaxy100 Lite Mechanical Keyboard Review
The Epomaker Galaxy100 Lite is anything but ‘lite’. Tipping the scales at a substantial 1.66kg thanks to its full CNC aluminum chassis, this keyboard is a true heavyweight contender in the budget market.
IgorsLAB: ASUS ROG Harpe II Ace review – Ultra-lightweight esports mouse with 42K sensor and SpeedNova 8K wireless technology
With the ROG Harpe II Ace, ASUS is expanding its Ace series, which is designed for competitive gaming, with an especially lightweight wireless esports mouse developed specifically for fast and precise FPS playstyles. Development took place in close collaboration with professional players from the esports scene, including VALORANT champion Demon1. The goal of this partnership was to create a shape specifically optimized for claw and fingertip grip while also enabling the highest possible level of control during fast flick movements. Characteristic features include the inward-tapered side panels, a slightly lowered back shape, and revised button positions intended to support a natural finger posture and reduce accidental inputs. The design is complemented by a matte surface with a slightly grippy texture that is also intended to ensure a secure hold during longer gaming sessions.

HotHardware: Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra Review: Powerful, Familiar Flagship
Samsung recently unveiled a trio of new flagship phones in San Francisco – the Galaxy S26 Ultra ($1,299), S26+ ($1,099), and S26 ($899) – and I got a chance to try them out. Today I’m reviewing Samsung’s Galaxy S26 Ultra, a high-end smartphone that’s Ultra in name and price only. While still competitive in North America, the S26 Ultra is often outclassed by the latest Chinese flagships sold in Europe and Asia, which is unfortunate.

ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero review
There are motherboards that exist to be “good enough,” and then there are boards that exist to be a statement. The ROG Crosshair lineage has always leaned into the latter, and the ROG Crosshair X870E Dark Hero is ASUS doing what ASUS does best at the halo end of AM5: overbuild the foundation, polish the user experience, and then sprinkle in just enough enthusiast candy to make you feel like your next build deserves a glass display panel.
