The SilverStone Lucid 04 is the latest in the Lucid series with its focus on glass. While the 01 and 02 went for a unique motherboard layout, the 03 was an ITX variant - all with lots of unique aspects. The Lucid 04 follows a squarely classic microATX form factor, aiming to be an affordable fish...

The Montech XR Wood takes the same frame as the original XR but re-imagines it as a classic mid-tower. This basis gives it an extremely solid and competitive foundation. Montech has made sure to take advantage of that, designing the XR Wood to be even more intriguing. Show full review

The be quiet! Pure Base 501 LX is a refresh of the 500 series and replaces the FX series. The refresh uses the same frame, but with a slew of updates and improvements. These modernizations go a long way to keep the Pure Base 501 LX relevant, but even so, its age does become apparent in some...

The XPG Starker Air BTF is the latest in the Starker series. As the name implies, this new model allows for the use of motherboards with backside connectors, but also goes into new directions in essentially all fronts when compared to its predecessor, including a very different price point...

The be quiet! Pure Base 501 DX is a refresh of the 500 series, which was released more than half a decade ago. The refresh uses the same frame, with a slew of updates and improvements. These modernizations go a long way to keep the body relevant, allowing the refreshed design of the Pure Base...

The darkFlash DY470 manages to pack a no-frills, functional dual-chamber case layout into a cool looking, asymmetrical exterior shell which helps it stand out in the already crowded segment. As such, while it commands a higher price tag than classic variants, it certainly has plenty of...

With Formovie being the manufacturer behind a lot of other brands it is no surprise that the Cinema Edge 4K looks similar to those. But the Cinema Edge 4K manages to provide a potent package that makes it a solid TV replacement - especially with the fully integrated streaming services...

The Corsair Frame 4000D is an evolution of the popular 4000D, with a focus on additional modularity and flexibility as it is the first mainstream chassis to use the InfiniRail mounting system. The updates don't just end with functionality, as the Frame 4000D also offers fresh design details to...

The benchmarks are deliberately universal as we use exactly the same parts in all cases, regardless of size (with the exception of the PSU (ATX vs. SFX)). So you will still find all mATX cases we reviewed in that universal chart. We do not bench with mATX boards in mATX cases - the build is just...

Heya everyone. Fixed the leather topic. I wasn't aware it was not real leather. I did question the unusual texture of it, and was missing the distintive leather smell. I just thought that the smell had already dissipated. I have had the sample for a while, well before launch and the review was...

The Montech Heritage Pro takes an uncommon interior layout, adds BTF, while allowing for big radiators and powerful air cooling, then wraps it all in a beautiful leather exterior. If that is your thing, then the case offers a very good base to build a system that just exudes swagger. Show full...

The SilverStone SETA H2M is a smaller variant of the H2, but still checks off all the boxes we have come to expect from the SETA line. So you still get the all-metal exterior of the H2 combined with massive storage capabilities and big fans. SilverStone has also modernized the interior to allow...
