I’ll admit to preferring simplicity over blatant showmanship since I don’t feel the need to have a million and one LEDs pointing back at me. The Fractal Design Define R3 PC case wants to shield you from those light sources by offering no visible LED lit fans…heck there isn’t even a side panel window to […]

Getting your PC LAN gaming ready typically means adding, by whatever method necessary, handles on your PC so you can safely and easily carry your expensive gaming gear to wherever you need it.

The brute force approach leaves a lot to be desired on the style front especially when you want to keep things simple on the decor front but most “simple” case designs aren’t exactly high-end hardware friendly.

High end enthusiast cases offer a whole host of improvements over your run of the mill $30 special but the bulk of manufacturers charge you for a whole lot of plastic cladding around your case that’s more design than function. Thermaltakes’s Armor A60 keeps things far more simple by shedding any of that silly ABS […]
Generally removing a number of options from a product tends to drop the price substantially enough to trip your brain’s “must have now” switch…it doesn’t seem to be working at this point.
