With over 50 years of speaker system know-how for concerts, movies, public address and clubs, Cerwin-Vega has been around the block. When creating the XD3 speaker for desktop and computer applications the goal is to optimize the sound output while keeping the enclosure small.

Sentey has sent us one of their Slim Series cases, the Sentey SS2-2807. This case is aimed at people who need a good case with some expandability, and most likely will need to fit in a tight space.

It has three 3.5″, and one 5.25″ drive bay to help give the user a decent amount of choices for storage space. It does come equipped with a standard ATX PSII 250w PSU to help...

A purchase I have always said to myself, better spent on other computer hardware. That is the cost of a high end CPU air cooling heatsink or an additional hardrive for RAID, both ...
