We were invited to FSP HQ to see new products including coolers, power supplies and a case.

Aerocool DS230 has a familiar look about it, somewhat akin to a Fractal Design Define R5 or Thermaltake F51 standing on a small plinth. The emphasis is on low noise, which makes perfect sense in a Dead Silence model, and both side panels and the top cover are heavily lined …

It looks like Bitfenix isn't the only case manufacturer loving tempered glass panels right now. At its booth at this year's Computex, Lian Li is also sporting some brand new, glassy cases, this ones ditching much of the usual front panels, making the entire thing as see through as possible. The …

As much as smartphones of today are much more powerful than they were a decade ago, with endlessly more complicated uses and features, battery life hasn't progressed much. In reality more than a day of function is impressive, but most of us still charge them up over night. At least …

Cooler Master's whole ethos at Computex this year has been “Make it Yours,” a slogan it's hoping will help promote its new Master Case which isn't that far off from release. To that end, it's been giving visitors access to all sorts of case customising tools, like an angle grinder, …

Case modding is something that for most enthusiasts, they either dabble in on a very minor scale, or merely admire from a distance as those with more practical know how create everything from PCs built into desks, to beautifully laid our water cooling loops and lighting set ups. Cooler Master …

Sending electricity wirelessly and safely, has been a pipe dream for scientists and researchers for over 100 years.
