Computers

10 comments By Ben

It certainly proved to be a mighty challenge indeed!

In the end just 240 people had completed the montage 100%, a feat in itself for sure! But there can be only one winner…

Our winner spotted that it was Galen the Ultimate Sith who was dressed as a Tuskan Raider, saw the subtle differences between Rayman Origins and Legends, they knew the bank was from Payday 2 not Battlefield Hardline and saw that it was a Zombie Nazi, not just a regular Nazi getting shot in the face.

Over the long weekend we asked you to share your wonderful gaming tales – in particular those regarding multiplayer moments, madness and messups!

This could have been anything from fending off all challengers on the classic Mortal Kombat arcade machine, or when you made it through that all-nighter to beat the original Halo in co-op… a League of Legends match in which the perfect arrow from Ashe brought you a last minute win, or that car you all hopped into while playing GTA V – which then drove of the cliff…

With the long weekend approaching fast it's the perfect time to have a Gaming Rig Giveaway!

Those fine people at SilverStone have been nice enough to give us one of their bright RED limited edition SilverStone Redline Gaming Towers!

You may recognise this as a gorgeous red version of our incredibly popular SilverStone Redline ATX Gaming Tower and you'd be right.

This case has seen some incredible reviews from all of you, and it's no wonder why. At incredible value, this Mid Tower offers you plenty of space, airflow, storage capacity and more!

We couldn't think of anything better to do with an empty chassis than to fill it up with all the components you'd need to get your game on, so we've done just that!

Boy, you guys have quite the wishlist of graphics cards, don't you?

We were blown away by your responses, and spent a little more time than we should have going through all your comments and admiring all the gorgeous pieces of tech…

It was crazy seeing everyone's pre­ferences as well! A lot of Gigabyte and ASUS (especially STRIX) mentioned throughout the comments, just as well we've got plenty of both in stock…

And while there were no wrong answers, we didn't have enough cases for everyone – and it really was a challenge to pick the best response. Which was written by…

Add a comment By Andi

So far we've looked at the Mid Tower and the Mini Tower options for your different rig needs. In our final entry in our Computer Chassis Showcase, we're looking at the big daddies of computer cases – the Full Tower.

The Full Tower isn't for everyone. You're looking at a more expensive rig that takes up a lot more space. However, the benefits are huge when you look at the interior space you have to work with – more room for mounting, better cable management resulting in more streamlined airflow, and there's plenty of room to install Water Cooling if you want to go down that path.

So here are 3 of our picks for you to check out if you're in the market for a Full Tower Computer Chassis.

Computer Chassis Showcase Part Two: Mini Towers

Computers

Add a comment By Andi

Last week we looked at a range of the most common computer case – the Mid Tower. Now we're back with a whole range of cases that pack a whole lot into a little space. We're talking of course, about the Mini Tower.

Mini towers are great for their compact nature and portability. You'll lose out on some internal space for additional drives, and you won't be mounting dual graphics cards in a mini tower, however you've still got a number of applications for a PC built in one.

Listed below are 4 of the coolest Mini Towers we have, so be sure to check them out!

SilverStone DS380B Mini-ITX Case

From the premium brushed aluminium door to the LED indicators with adjustable brightness, it's clear from the start that this is a case that won't draw too much attention to itself, but looks brilliant when it does.

You'll be hard pressed to run out of storage, with support for up to 12 drives – 8 of which can be changed out in a flash with the case's hot-swappable feature. Perfect for a media centre that you want to run offline – store all your media locally and even include a disc drive for your physical formats.

The Mighty SilverStone Raven

Add a comment By Ben

The RAVEN series is famous for its excellent cooling with unconventional designs and the RAVEN RV04 is no exception, as you can see in the image below the Gigabyte GTX 760 graphics card sits upside down inside presenting a spectacular view of the Windforce cooler and SNSV motherboard :)

The exterior of RV04 showcases SilverStones unique design with a one-piece like outer shell that creates a powerful presence on any desktop setting.

Small details also adorn the exterior such as feather-like top elements that act as independent airflow channel for the power supply unit.
