Xigmatek Elysium Super Tower Exclusive Review @ PCSTATS
It's been a good two-and-a-half years since we've taken a look at a Zalman chassis, so with the announcement of the ~$69 Z9 Plus, we were eager to get one in and see how it compared to the current fleet of sub-$100 offerings on the market. With that, let's see what the Z9 Plus gives us aside from its good looks and focus on efficient airflow... [TECHGAGE] via PCSTATS

Thermaltake V9 BlacX Mid-Tower Case @ PCSTATS
"In the middle of 2010 I received some concept art from the Xigmatek Rep and was asked to keep the images and information confidential. This information has been very hard to keep quiet, but somehow I managed to achieve the task. If you have purchased a large PC case in the last 12 months, it's time to look for the receipt and try to return it. Your case is weak and you will no longer want it after seeing the Xigmatek Elysium.

The Elysium is that rare product that has a value that far outperforms its price. With a 200 USD MSRP, this review could be published with the price, a specifications / features list and a handful of pictures and no one would complain (other than the competition). It's going to be fairly difficult to keep this article on the Elysium's features and not dedicate eight pages to the price point that is insanely low for what you are getting. While doing my final check in with Xigmatek, I asked them to raise the price to 300 USD and send me the extra 100 Dollars, because I know you would spend that kind of money on what I have to show you today."

Firefox 4 @ PCSTATS
Thermaltake has been a well-known competitor in the computer case market for custom builders for about 10 years now. Covering all price points in the market, Thermaltake has a full lineup of cases to choose from. Our previous experiences with Thermaltake's cases, power supplies, and other various components has been very positive and that keeps us on the lookout for new things from them.

Enermax Hoplite Case Review @ PCSTATS
“The browser wars continue to rage with Microsoft, Mozilla, Google and others all keen to have us use their products, and theirs alone, to access the wonders of the Worldwide Web. New versions are appearing thick and fast with, in March this year, two significant new releases—the first from Microsoft with Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) closely followed by Firefox 4 from Mozilla a mere week later. We’ve already reviewed IE9, now it’s the turn of Firefox, with a look at just what version 4 of the Mozilla browser has to offer.”

Mushkin Enhanced Joule 800W Power Supply @ PCSTATS
"For the Battlefield: Bad Company 2 benchmark, the highest FPS came from the Killer 2100, albeit only be a couple of frames, but the pings were a lot lower than the onboard NIC or the Netgear NIC"

Diamond All-in-Wonder HD Premium 5000 @ PCSTATS
"The Mushkin Enhanced Joule 800W power supply proved to be a very capable power supply following the OCC power supply testing methodology. The power supply itself is really hard to fault; satisfactory build quality, good DC voltage load regulation and very low AC noise/ripple in combination with high efficiency are everything the enthusiast needs in a power supply."
