eTeknix: Cougar DarkBlader X5 RGB Mid-Tower PC Case Review
Cougar is one of my favourite gaming brands, as they tend to have all the quality and features of their rivals, with their own unique twist and style thrown in. More often than not, theyre usually priced more competitively too, which certainly adds to their appeal.

TechPowerUp: be quiet! Dark Power 12 850 W Review - Titanium Silence
The be quiet! Dark Power 12 850 W performs incredibly well and keeps noise output low, even under tough operating conditions. FSP, the OEM, used a modern platform to achieve such high performance. The strongest competitor is the similarly priced Corsair AX850.

Windows Central: Konftel Cam10 is a really good webcam for just shy of $100
Finding a good webcam that doesn't cost around $200 is tough these days, but luckily the Konftel Cam10 fits the bill. At just below $100, this full HD webcam is positioned towards businesses and offices, although anyone can use one who needs a great day-to-day web camera. Just make sure you have enough lighting.
