A new release from Bitfenix, the Outlaw, packs a slightly different punch than anything else from Bitfenix. With its inverted motherboard tray, the Outlaw accepts even the longest graphics cards with ease, while enhancing graphics card cooling. Plenty of optional fan locations will help keep the rest of your system cool, while a native SSD mount on the bottom of the case will help you keep up with new technology. With plenty of connectivity and their signature BitFenix SofTouch™ Surface treatm...

With all the questions I have received lately on water cooling, which fans to get and how will they effect my cooling, I decided to throw together a test with a few different fans that I have lying around here. I will be running a push/pull installation with my fans for the testing. I am hoping to show differences in the fans used, or lack thereof. Yes, I know the choices of fans are just a miniscule amount considering the large number of fans on the market today.

The Nexus Prominent 5 silent case features tool-less installation making it a quick and easy installation of your components. A black mesh front, aluminum edges, and black interior with orange accents give the Prominent 5 a different look. Nexus outfitted the Prominent 5 with a 140mm on the top and a 120mm is placed in the front for the air-intake. Some isolating padding, where the PSU is placed, prevents resonance and there are ventilation holes, and room for a fan, in the bottom of the case ...

[Review] Sapphire Radeon HD66702 Comments By ArchercloseAuthor: ArcherName: Kevin Marlin Email: kevinsmarlin@embarqmail.com Site:http://www.techreaction.net About:See Authors Posts (18) on December 7, 2011
Sapphire has sent us an interesting sample this time and honestly not much was expected. Considering the competition from both NVidia, as well as many offerings with the same graphics processing unit (GPU) from other vendors, we assumed this would be an average card, considering its single-slot, low-profile cooling. It did not work out that way. Though the AMD HD6670 is considered a minimalist GPU in the standard arena it is a bang for the growing small form factor computer (SFF) segment. So i...
