We often classify fans with these types of blades as “high-airflow” models, and they can often be found near a case’s intake and exhaust vents. Other fan blades are engineered to push air … Read more
Aerocool certainly knows its way around PC tower cases, but even for a company that has as many hits on its hands as this one does (see also the GT-S, the Strike-X Air, the XPredator X3 and XPredator Cube, et al.), the DS200 is a fantastic enclosure.For starters, the DS200 Window Edition (we received the … Read more
The longer that you own a smart device, the quicker it always seems to fill up.

One of the first things you’ll notice about Epson’s entry-level projector is just how small it is. When you consider some of the monster-sized offerings that have come before it, the TW570 takes up little space on your coffee table.

If the D810 is just a bit too much D-SLR for you and the D610 just not quite enough, then the D750 could be just right. Has Nikon built the perfect enthusiast-level D-SLR? While it’s always tempting to think that too much resolution is never enough, there are some practicalities to consider with cameras like … Read more
My first thought when I unpacked the new Core X2 from Thermaltake was ‘they’ve sent me the wrong case’. I didn’t think something this sire could be classed as small form factor, but because of its horirontal motherboard tray it can only accommodate m ATX or mini-ITX boards.

Corsair’s Carbide Air 240 is my absolute favorite small form factor case, and going back to check it this month has only-reinforced my high opinion of it.

The city-building game better than SimCityCity-building games are great fun and have been around for decades, but the genre is difficult to get right. The latest SimCity, for example, may have beautiful graphics, but gameplay is over-simplified and unbalanced, and playing it requires a constant internet connection.

Ian McGurren reports live from hell, where it to be freezing over~.. It’s something that’s been bandied around for many years by the gaming community: should Nintendo develop for mobiles? Yes, say many; the 3DS technically pales in comparison to modern mobile devices (and it may not be long before the Wii U is eclipsed … Read more
Bloodborne is a game that’s been almost impossible to ignore since it was first announced. Developed by the same team that brought us the brutally challenging Dark Souls series (preceded by Demon’s Souls), we were pretty much sold from the start on this hack-and-slash romp through a beautifully bleak gothic landscape. However, Bloodborne is designed … Read more
