HBT+ Turbine 700 Case Review
The R7 360 OC iCooler video card from HIS is designed with a custom cooling system in order to stay cool at all times, but the GPU is not too potent since we have the same solution we have found with the previous AMD Radeon R7 260 but with higher clocks from the box and 2GB of memory buffer instead of 1GB on a 128-bit memory bus. The manufacturer h... [PCSTATS]

BeQuiet Dark Rock TF Heatsink Review
A unique feature of the HBT+ Turbine 700 is that the interior is divided into two physical sections.

Corsair VOID Wireless Gaming Headset Review
ASRock Beebox is a small form factor PC with a volume of a mere 0.6 litres that is powered by an Intel Braswell processor. We’re looking at an N3000 which runs on a dual core CPU with passive cooling and this makes the Beebox name seem a bit silly as a bee is audible while this solid state PC is completely silent. There are also members of the Beeb... [PCSTATS]

Dell XPS 18 Portable All-in-One Review: Haswell Reloaded
When NVIDIA launched the powerful GTX 980 and 970 last month, it was obvious that these cards would be coming to mobile sooner rather than later.

Samsung Malaysia
Every gamer i know from casual ones and up to eSports professionals has invested quite a bit in a good graphics card but for some weird reason casual gamers don't see the real value in investing a bit in gaming peripherals such as keyboards, mice, mats and headsets.
