Corsair's Carbide 400R mid-tower chassis
In the PC enthusiast realm, Corsair is a brand that needs no introduction. After establishing itself as a go-to source for quality computer memory, this plucky bunch from Fremont, California dropped a bomb on the computer enclosure world in the form of the Obsidian 800D. We loved the case's new innovations and attention to detail, and the freshman effort quickly became a favorite among PC enthusiasts with a penchant for full-sized towers.

Pining for the metaphorical fjords
Today is Wednesday, October 12, 2011. The day iOS 5 is released upon the Apple faithful—a group still smarting from the passing of Steve Jobs just seven days prior. Will I upgrade my stalwart 3GS to the Siri-fied new operating system? Well, not if my main goal is to get Siri, since it laughs at my device and its ancient, 2009 internals. ("Siri, where can I find a good burger near this location?" "I sense you have no A5, so shut up and go fix me a turkey pot pie!") The issue is whether I want to forgo, for now, my jailbroken goodies in exchange for iOS 5 shininess.

Tribes Ascend beta starts November 4
What if I was to tell you that, early next year, you'll be able to pick up the multiplayer successor to Tribes 2 for exactly zero dollars? Now would that be something you might be interested in? I thought so. The free-to-play Tribes Ascend shooter being developed by Hi-Rez Studios has garnered a lot of attention lately, and the snippets of gameplay we've seen sure look promising.
The game was originally scheduled to be released this fall, but it looks like that's been pushed back to the first quarter of 2012. As a consolation, Rock, Paper, Shotgun reports that a closed beta will begin on November 4 ...
