Today we’ll be reviewing is the Antec Twelve Hundred, otherwise known as the 1200 – the big brother of the highly successful Nine Hundred.

We’ve rambled on about silent products a lot lately at Tech-Reviews. One product we’ve tried to avoid is sound dampening – due to rumours of the rather time consuming installation this product entails. However, without using sound dampening, we’ve found it nearly impossible to silence our rig completely. Given the chance to review some of Acousti Products’ latest acoustic material kits, the AcoustiPack Ultimate, we simply couldn’t turn the offer down.

However, using a big fat chunky mouse on long journeys where you don’t have much space isn’t really ideal. Thankfully, Logitech have saved us with their VX Nano; a cordless pocket size mouse. Let’s see how it performs…

Cooler Master Cosmos S
Published in Cases, Reviews | Written by Rhys
Computer cases seem to be alive at the moment, what I mean by that is well…they are growing pretty big. This is partially due to the demands of the latest high end hardware, such as SLI and water-cooling. But also, gamers and overclockers are fan boys for large cases. So far, we haven’t really dealt with large cases at Tech-Reviews – - aside from the P190 – - so today; we’ve got another fat ass computer case. Introducing the Cooler Master Cosmos S…
