So… We know that anything but an SSD has to be damn (Can I say that?) credible for us to post on The SSD Review now don’t we?  Truth be told, we haven’t posted a chassis review since way back in 2012 and it would be rare as heck to find me doing such a review.  After all, we have …

It makes sense, and until recently, mini builds were typically utilized as NAS units, home …

Released last year by BitFenix, the Shinobi became an instant hit in the chassis market, winning multiple awards in the process. Remakes are typically not as good as the originals, hence there was a sense of foreboding when BitFenix released the larger version of its mid-tower case; the Shinobi XL. Instead of a new design, the engineers at BitFenix boldly …

BitFenix may be known to many of you for their sleek and innovative case designs, which allow them to stand out against the competition. It is their attention to detail, both inside and out, that enables them to catch the eye of potential consumers. Today, we will be looking at their latest Raider model, which looks primed to continue the …

In response to our readers requests, we attended the Rosewill Suite at The Mirage for CES this year to take a look at their award winning products. This was not a difficult decision as Chinny Chuang, Rosewill Marketing Manager, happens to be a long time friend and one of the best people you could ever know. We were pleasantly surprised …
