The case is quite a stylish size, shape and colour. The first time I felt the case it felt very high quality and sturdy.

The side panels are both made of thick metal, no tacky plastic here – as is the rest of the case. However, the front panel surround is plastic but this is very thick higher quality plastic.

The metal appears to be sprayed with a black paint, as the finish is rough and bumpy – an orange peel effect. This seems to be the norm for cheaper gaming cases.

The main access side panel features a vent behind the panel where a 120mm fan can be installed, unfortunately this isn’t supplied. However there are 2 fans installed 1×140mm top exhaust and 1×120mm rear exhaust. Both of the installed fans are speed controllable via a 3-speed selector switch.

The front panel of the case has space for 2×120mm fans, these not included but this is a budget case and most users will likely replace them with silent fans if they were included.

At the top of the front panel there is the usual power switch, reset switch, HD audio ports and two USB ports. It would have been nice for Antec to add an E-Sata port for faster data transfer speeds with external hard drives. Oddly, the plastic on the front panel isn’t the same colour as the rest of the case as it’s more of a dark silvery grey than black.

The rear of the case features a bottom mounted placement for a PSU, this placement is becoming increasingly popular as they put less strain on the case.

The case is not predrilled for water-cooling unlike many cases nowadays, so any gamers and overclockers alike who’d like to use water cooling had better steer clear unless they want to drill holes in this case.

The rear of the case also has some low-profile screws to attach the side panels; I quite like these as it means I can push my case right back up against the wall.

The rear also features a metal loophole, you can add a lock here to stop nasty thieves from stealing parts from your system at large LAN events.

CoolIT Domino i5 Testing

Back in July this year we tested the CoolIT watercooling kit using a heavily overclocked AMD 7750+ BE. It’s performance really surprised us with it absolutely caning the other coolers in question.

For this reason, we thought some i5 testing using our trusty CoolIT Domino was in order. Let’s see if the performance from the Domino still survives in this day and age…

Coolink Lapchilla Laptop Cooler

Laptop technology has advanced greatly over the years with different releases of more powerful and compact systems constantly replacing the top notebooks of the year before. However, improving the performance of laptops usually has the knock on effect of producing more heat and so users will commonly seek advice in order to better cool their laptop. An often used approach to this problem is a Laptop Cooler.

However, most laptop coolers do more than simply draw hot air from your system. Many laptop coolers also have become a key feature in making the experience of using a portable machine at a desk more comfortable overall. Most coolers provide an elevated position for the actual laptop which usually features a sort of incline to the keyboard, thus allowing comfortable angles for typing during the longer sessions at the computer.
