Sunbeamtech Acrylic HTPC Case
"Sunbeam has added another specialty case for anyone looking to show off their goods. What better for the home theater than an acrylic chassis to look through at that custom build? When you get down to it however, the idea of a clear HTPC case is easier to come up with on paper than it is in reality. You need a chassis that is both compact but roomy enough so that you don't have a snake pit of cramped cabling inside for everyone to see through the acrylic panels. You also need plenty of space for multiple hard drives as a media PC is going to need them. Let's also not forget ventilation. Compact cases also present special air flow challenges not seem in standard midtowers. You need a clean air exchange and silence at the same time. How has Sunbeam done? Let's find out."

APEVIA X-Telstar Jr. G Type Case Review
"One day, not so long ago, someone realized that standard cases were somewhat boring. From the first fan mod to now, modders have added a range of creative things to their cases. Once modding really started taking off, manufacturers hopped on the bandwagon, wanting their cut of this new market. I remember the good ol’ days, where older Maximum PC and PC gamer issues contained ads for Alienware, pumping out quality PC mods. Aesthetics aside, do these, for lack of a better word, “prettified” cases actually increase performance in any way? Are there some real pluses to a modified case? The Apevia X-Telstar Jr. G Type Case has many extra features over your average whitebox; let’s see if they succeed or fail miserably.

The Apevia X-Telstar Jr. G Type Case is a smaller case, with lots of bells and whistles. Coming stock with two 120mm fans for the G Type and one 240mm and one 120mm for the S Type, these cases seem to have what it takes to keep a case of this size, nice and cool. Let's get a closer look at it."

NZXT Rogue mATX Gaming Case
"I would like to thank CaseKing.de for supplying the review sample.

CaseKing is one of the few companies out there, which will not just sell anything. They only offer hardware that performs well and is of high quality. The shop carries quite a few exclusive parts and devices from all around the world and it is also the official distributor for a long list of well known manufacturers. Their assortment has grown substantially in recent years, while great service and support is still a very important part of the shop philosophy. The website may be in German, but due to great demand, an English version is in the works.

We have the pleasure of taking a look at the NZXT Rogue today. It is a very unique mATX based gaming case, which can hold high end coolers and large graphic cards. Even a large PSU should be able to fit inside the compact case. We have the silver variant with blue LEDs on our testbench today, but NZXT also offers the Rogue in Black with the choice of blue or red lighting. Oddly enough, there is no silver one with red LEDs available."
