Graphics Cards - Making The Step Up From Integrated Graphics
When nVidia announced their 10th generation Maxwell architecture it was hotly anticipated and back in February we got to see the first GPUs based on it: the GM107 based 750 and 750 Ti. While those products offered much in terms of power efficiency, they were but a taste of what was to come. After months of waiting and delays, nVidia has finally rel... [PCSTATS]

Tesoro Excalibur Mechanical Keyboard Review
A few months back we posted an article outlining what a graphics card is, in layman's terms. We went one step further and demonstrated the overall graphics processing power of a single graphics card, then went beyond that by installing another graphics card in two card SLI configuration, with Zotac's GeForce GTX 680 AMP! Edition. But really, why do... [PCSTATS]

Tt eSPORTS MetalCaps 38 Piece Mechanical Keycap Set Review
“Azza, always one to bring us somewhat “outlandishly” designed cases, is now offering up their first mITX case: the Z. Somewhat conservatively designed in comparison to their other offerings and providing a unique layout that accommodates both water cooling radiators and a slim profile, can this case really offer an enthusiast what they need out of...

Corsair are a big name in the chassis market, offering some of the best premium gaming chassis on the market, such as their 750D, Air540, 900D and many, many more.

Synology DiskStation DS1815+
The ECS LIVA 64GB mini PC is designed to be above all cheap and at just $185 there is no questioning its affordability. Still what is the purpose of this cheap PC, who is it designed for?

Thecus N2310
For the extra money you do get a more elegant computer case that almost does away with plastic entirely, a change many will welcome from the RV05 plastic monster. In terms of features the case is more compact but other than that, little has changed. So if you are looking for an ultra-high performance computer case that makes little noise, looks sle...

Gigabyte FORCE H3X Headset Review
From a performance vs. price perspective the Thecus N2310 is a real winner. Its primary competitor is still the Synology DS214se which costs a little over 20% more at $160.
