The be quiet Light Base 900 DX provides three different layouts, with 172 beautifully embedded ARGB LEDs around three sides of the chassis. That alone should make it worthwhile to look into if illumination is your jam - especially if you want massive radiators and plenty of ARGB fans. Besides that, the Light Base 900 DX also provides plenty of interesting functionality for a unique build experience.

The Chieftec Visio is a super compact dual-chamber chassis which can still accept a full size ATX or BTF motherboard. With its full fan load-out of six units and large radiator support in the ceiling, it could be a cool option to stuff all that into such a small chassis. Especially at the attractive price point, clearly aiming the Visio at first-time and budget minded builders.

Sennheiser adds to its studio headphones line with the HD 490 PRO. It uses the brand's latest generation dynamic drivers in a new chassis that looks neat and functions even better. Add to this a few clever tweaks throughout and a fully-featured $99 DAW plugin, and the HD 490 PRO makes a compelling argument to be your new music mixing/mastering/producing set of headphones.

The ARCTIC P12 PWM is a fan that needs no introductions, yet has been a missing part of our fan reviews till today. We test the PST version, which offers daisy-chaining support in addition to a long RPM range of control, a zero RPM mode, long warranty, and is quite possibly one of the best value case fans too.
