The In Win o3 case is a solid effort worth some merit, but is let down by a few key internal design flaws and a rattle effect loud enough to shake your senses.

It might not look like a serious case, but it’s got some chops where it counts, and for the price, it definitely has us impressed.

A generic, value case for of mum and dad buyers only. And even then, that’s pushing it....

The In Win B2 Stealth Bomber case goes for Top Gun thrills, but ultimately lacks the grunt to make it off the runway.

A thin and versatile media PC case, with enough space for almost any piece of high end componentry.

A budget case that delivers almost everything you’d want at a great price.

Austere is the new brash, and nothing yells 'look at me' more than understated elgance.

What kind of case do you need for extreme four-GPU graphics intensity?

It’s one of the facts of the gaming hobbyist’s life: cutting edge games require cutting edge hardware. It’s as set in stone as Moore’s Law (which is itself now 40 years old). Every 12 to 18 months you need to upgrade or get left behind. Our contenders this month make a very good case for starting with a clean slate, and none more so than this month’s winner, the Modtech Civic-64FX.

If you've ever wondered what the difference would be between a system you buy off-the-shelf, and the same system overclocked, Trinity International Computers sent us two systems that answer exactly that question

Stunning build quality and design, but pricey and bigger than most desks can accommodate.

A teaser of a great workhorse PC, we just hope Asus can get the price down on release.

Aztec’s PC is a very different take on our $4000 PC A-List challenge.

Affordable, yet punches above its price for quality and features. Ideal for a quiet PC.

A carry case with a built-in speaker? Now that's thinking.

One of the most striking things about Pioneer’s entry this month is the cosmetics: it’s 24hr karaoke bar meets street-racing BMW. And lots of blue LEDs! And these LED’s can get a little annoying – especially the super bright “headlight” LED’s. They shine directly ahead, and at desk height they beam straight into your eyes. There is also a large, illuminated ‘Xfinity’ etched into the front door of the case. Suffice to say this case won’t be to everyone’s taste. But otherwise, the rest of the externals are OK – the top mount houses two of the six total USB ports beneath a tidy flap, and a large power button with a good action.

Raw power and gaming prowess plus our a-listed monitor: this is a fantastic system, but the price is a deterrent.

Foam insulated to dampen noise and five hard disk bays, makes this an excellent case.

Designed from the ground up with gamers in mind, GameVision has produced a fine looking and practical system with plenty of potential. The system is built around Intel’s now legendary 2.4GHz Pentium 4 ’C’ stepping processor, one of the most overclockable chips available on the market. With substantiated overclocks of up to 3.6GHz with stock air-cooling, these unassuming CPUs are powerhouses of frequency, if you know how to milk the most from them.

IBM has a well-earned reputation within the corporate sector for providing exceptional quality desktop workstations. Their latest model – the ThinkCentre S50, is set to keep that reputation on track.
