Cases

We dedicate a lot of our time to reviewing PC cases as there are so many different models on the market, making the choice of which one to buy very difficult indeed.  Around the £80 – £100 mark there is a huge amount of competition from manufacturers such as Antec, …

Every now and then you find a product that stops you in the tracks and turns your head. Something that breaks the mould. Immediately, you know that it will split the audience.If you want to generate fierce love and passion – you also risk alienating people and attracting haters. KitGuru …

Thermaltake released one of the most stunning looking products in 2009, the spectacular Level 10 Chassis. Co-Designed with car manufacturer BMW it was a unique concept idea which caused many people to sit up and take notice. Sadly, the £500+ price point meant it was strictly for a small hard …

While KitGuru loves to get its hands on an enormous chassis with more fans than Justin Bieber, our real passion is silent performance. The idea that you can achieve excellent performance, in complete silence, is a real draw. Cooler Master has something very special coming up in this area. Something …

Lots of great new products at CeBIT 2011, all of which will be brought to your attention soon enough. We thought we'd also like to bring you some unusual stories as well – stuff you're never normally likely to see. Chenbro used to have a large amount of the consumer …

Many smaller manufacturers across the globe have recycled the box that a chassis comes in. While the likes of Dell and HP have neat boxes printed, most of the smaller operations just send the complete PC straight back out in the chassis box. At CeBIT 2011, Asus has taken that …

KitGuru has looked at several new Fusion boards from AMD partners MSI and Sapphire. Both products left us with positive feelings –  the mixture of low power drain, competitive pricing and excellent high definition media performance is certainly a heady combination. Today we are building a more expensive media system …

Lian Li are definitely one of our favourite chassis manufacturers as they never fail to impress with their impressive build quality and attractive designs.  They have one of the largest ranges of small form factor cases of any manufacturer, catering to all enthusiast demands. Today we are going to look …

In September 2010, KitGuru reviewed the BitFenix Colossus case and while it showed promise, we didn't think it was totally ready for prime time release. Today we are looking at their Survivor case, a more modest design which we are sure will appeal to a much wider audience. The mid …

There is an old joke in Taiwan that ‘copy is right'. It's a play on words that has been tested many times in the courts over the years as close competitors accuse each other of ‘borrowing' their most popular designs. Something rather stranger happened to Cooler Master recently. KitGuru slaps …

Enermax are well known for producing some of the best quality power supplies on the market and have recently produced a range of flashy LED fans which Zardon tested a few months back. But they also produce a range of PC cases, one of which they have sent us to …

While producing iconic designs like the Level 10 chassis, Thermaltake has been located in a small office on the outskirts of Taipei. Alongside a growth in the company's ambition, CEO Kenny Lin recently decided that he needed to grow the office. Champagne bottles at the ready, KitGuru sent a spy …

We've recently reviewed a number of mid-range cases that fall in the just over £100 mark from the likes of Corsair and Lian Li which impressed us greatly.  So when we were offered a similarly-priced case from a lesser known manufacturer, we jumped at the chance so we could see …

The original Level 10 is widely regarded as one of the most stunning chassis of all time. Whatever your feelings about the thermals, weight and price – it stands alone as one of the most amazing designs ever. The only real issues were the ones we have listed. But price …

We have seen many high quality chassis being released this year from various manufacturers, and while it is fun to concentrate on luxury high end products like the Thermaltake Level 10, not many people will be willing to part with £550, just for a case. Enermax, better known for their …

KitGuru has probably looked at more of Arctic’s products than any other brand since we started out.  We can’t say that any of their products have failed to impress with many winning our most sought after awards. Arctic are very well known for their top-notch cooling products but are much …

Recently a new player in the Computer enthusiast sector contacted us and asked us if we would like to review their latest chassis design.

Lian Li are world-renowned for producing some of the best quality cases out there which we experienced with their PC-8FIB case a few weeks back. So when Lian Li offered to send us another case from their range we were eager to see how it would compare. Today we're going …

The Bit Fenix Colossus was a strange case. It has as many challenges as it has advantages, but it is bulky, easy to work inside and (with an extra fan fitted) decent airflow. KitGuru was down in town yesterday when we spotted a (mating?) pair of these cases, in stock, …

There has never been a better time to purchase a sexy, svelte chassis for a new system build. You no longer have to pay a small fortune either as prices continue to drop and discerning customers keep demanding higher levels of build quality. Unfortunately in such a crowded marketplace it …

2010 has been a fantastic year for quality chassis design and today we are going to have our first look at a chassis from Xigmatek, a company better known for their coolers and power supplies. Following with traditional Xigmatek marketing concepts, the Utgard is a product clearly paying homage to …

Corsair have been building on their success in the memory business, expanding into many other areas of tech in the past few years.  But they haven't done so in a half-hearted way – each new product they have launched has been class leading  like their  H70 watercooler which we reviewed …

I am a sucker for a well designed aluminum chassis and Lian Li have always been one of the pioneers in this sector. They recently updated their fantastic Q series of compact enclosures with the PC-Q11. While these designs are based around the tiny ITX standard they allow for people …

Kitguru spends a lot of time looking at mid and  full-tower cases such as the Bitfenix Colossus but don't often get the chance to review more compact cases. Micro-ATX and Mini-ITX systems are favoured by many as they take up a lot less space than their full-size counterparts whilst retaining …

Many of you may not have heard of BitFenix, a relatively new company on the scene. If you have been following KitGuru over the last few months however, you will have noticed that we have been focusing on them quite a bit. With industry veterans such as Coco Lee (ex …

KitGuru has some of the best prizes on the net, bar none. We have given away thousands of pounds of hardware in our short time opening and today we have something REALLY special that be pride of place in your bedroom. The stunning Thermaltake Level 10 Case designed by BMW. …

Last weekend KitGuru was reporting from Multiplay's i40 where we caught a glimpse of Thermaltake's range-topping Level 10 case which made us very excited.  So we had a word with the kind people at Thermaltake who let us have it for review. It is clear from a glance that the …

Coco Lee, is the driving force behind Bit Fenix, and she is an amazing lady. Whether the world decides that it loves, hates or is completely indifferent to the Bit Fenix Colossus, you have to give credit where it is due. Coco is not only really smart, she also has …
