TechPowerUp: Thermaltake S300 TG Review - A Solid, Clean, and Understated Case
The Thermaltake S300 TG is slightly smaller and simpler than the S500 TG, but just as solid, and is noticeably more affordable. This could make it an interesting option for those on a tighter budget, or users who simply don't need all the bells and whistles in the larger S500 TG.

MMORPG.com: Spellbreak Review
Spellbreak, a late to the scene battle royale is making quite the splash in on gaming sites lately and for good reason. Out of the development team at Proletariat Inc, previously responsible for a semi-popular Twitch plugin called Stream Legends, has spent the last few years working on their own unique take on the battle royale genre and the results are in and it's a homerun in my book.

Mad Shrimps: CHERRY MX 10.0 Mechanical Keyboard Review
CHERRY has finally launched their own keyboard featuring the MX Speed Low Profile switches, which is very responsive and pleasant to type on and also surprisingly silent! With the MX 10.0, CHERRY is also showing that a gaming keyboard can also be very elegant and professional looking by using an all-aluminum chassis and the low height does also contribute for a more comfortable typing position. The used switches do feature a 1.2mm pre-travel and 3.2mm total travel, while the operating force is 45cN, making it ideal for competitive games; given its fast response time, writing articles on it takes a little time to adjust, but it is 100% doable.

APH Networks: NZXT C650 650W Report
If you ask me what is the one thing I want to change the most for current computers, my answer would be to eliminate all the fans. There are lots of benefits if we can have computers only rely on passive cooling. The first and foremost one is significantly reduced noise level. Fairly speaking, cooling fans that have advanced bearing technologies are generally pretty quiet. However, there is no guarantee the quietness can last for long time. I have some fans that got louder after few years of use. Aside from being absolute quiet, another advantage of using a fanless design is the possibility to reduce the overall size. The reason tablets and phones can be thin is because they do not need to use cooling fans in most cases. Although the idea of fanless computer looks promising, the problem is making the idea into reality. For desktops, we have several options. There are some power supplies without fans in the market, and it is also possible use a CPU heatsink without any fans attached. Personally, I have not tried to build a computer that has no fans on the CPU cooler, PSU, and the computer case. As much as I would like to the try a fanless desktop, there are some concerns. For one, the air flow inside the computer case will suffer. If there is no exhaust fan in the chassis, the heat may build up inside the case, and consequently impact the cooling performance of fanless components. The good news is, the above mentioned problem is partially solved by today’s review unit –- the NZXT C650 650W power supply. There is a push button on this product for the users to activate passive mode when loads are low. It is possible to have a noiseless PSU in your computer if you buy this product, but is it a good PSU overall? Let us read on and find out.
