KitGuru: Lian Li Lancool 207 Case Review
Lian Li’s latest budget ATX PC case is compact and comes with some very interesting features, including a unique power supply position and some smart airflow ideas. It supports ATX motherboards, large graphics cards and 360mm radiators with dimensions close to micro ATX form factor. Add this all together and, on paper at least, the Lancool 207 could be the best budget gaming case of 2024, so let's see if that holds true with some real-world testing.

Wccftech: Starfield: Shattered Space Review - May the Great Serpent Save Us
The Starfield: Shattered Space is a worthy expansion for those who loved the base game, but it doesn't offer much to those who did not.

KitGuru: MSI MPG X870E Carbon WiFi Review
MSI has delivered the MPG X870E Carbon WiFi and it is packed with features, starting with the headline USB4 ports and blazing fast WiFi 7. In addition we have an 18+2+1 x 110A VRM which could likely power a small city. To add to our delight the price comes in just over £400 where previous high end models could touch £700. As you will see in our video we ran the X870E Carbon WiFi with DDR5-8000 memory and that gave us plenty to talk about.

KitGuru: Cooler Master X Silent Edge Platinum 1100W Review
If, like me, you value a low noise PC then today's power supply will be of particular interest. Cooler Master have designed their own passively cooled power supply, able to deliver 1100 Watts of power. The key takeaway?

KitGuru: Seasonic Focus GX-1000 V4 (2024) ATX 3 Review
Seasonic have just updated their Focus GX range of power supplies for 2024 and today we take a look at the new GX-1000 model. This time the company are placing a lot of focus (sorry) on their new OptiSink technology. This range of ATX power supplies is compact in size (140mm deep), 80 Plus Gold rated and fully modular. They are also available in black or white and the company offer a full 10 year warranty for peace of mind.

MadShrimps: Crucial P310 1TB PCIe Gen4 NVMe 2280 M.2 SSD Review
The P310 1TB drive from Crucial does perform near top TLC offerings, surprising for a QLC drive but presents itself with the usual shortcomings when talking about TBW versus TLC, while the lowest write speed directly to QLC is considerably lower, around some high-performance platter.
MadShrimps: Toshiba Canvio Flex 4TB USB 3.2 Gen 1 External HDD Review
The Canvio Flex 4TB drive from Toshiba does perform as expected for a 4TB 2.5" drive, MQ04UBB400 relying less on caching versus the drives found with Silicon Power external drives, which usually use Western Digital internals. Unlike models from WD, the internal board of the drive.
