Case Mod Friday: Simply Green
Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have Slider46's “Simply Green” build. Here is what he had to say about it, "I'll be watercooling the GPUs and CPUs and I'm going with a green / black theme for color. Probably looking at some spray can painting for the PSU and maybe some other accents. I think the Gigabyte G1 Sniper should be a perfect foundation for this build - again green and black.Read full article @ ThinkComputers.org
Datacolor Spyder5PRO Monitor Calibration Tool
Here at APH Networks, we love to tell stories in the introduction of our reviews. I am not entirely sure how this started, but this tradition became one of our unique aspects after being in the industry for the last ten years. There are usually quite a number of sources for our inspiration; ranging from elements intrinsic to the product itself, to snippets of life with people around us. In my Datacolor Spyder4PRO review last year, I told of a story of a person who tried to challenge me and my friend in foosball, only to be utterly humiliated in the next few minutes. So what better way is there to lead into the Spyder5PRO review with yet another foosball story? Over the weekend, I was playing against a few of my friends, except this time, it was on a table that was clearly slanted and sounded like it was going to fall apart on every shot. For the first few minutes, playing on a literally uneven field against opponents that were not traditionally challenging proved to be more challenging than I first thought. A lot of foosball has to do with timing, and with an uneven table, classical physics will tell us the way the ball moves will be affected. As such, none of my tricks executed correctly, because everything was slightly off by fractions of a second. It was not until a few minutes later that I finally calibrated my brain to the new physics of the table before I was able to finally win the game. As you can see here, even though I may have the skills, if my coordination was not properly calibrated, my performance suffered. In the same way, there are many great displays on the market. But if they were not properly calibrated, what good will all the hardware do? Today, we will take a look at the latest colorimeter from Datacolor, the Spyder5PRO. Building upon the success of popular Spyder4PRO, will it be able to fix LCDs that are wildly off color, and turn what is already great into perfection? We took one in, and tested it across a spectrum of products to find out.Read full article @ APH Networks
Intel Core i7-5775C Review
The new Broadwell i7-5775C is not for the typical discrete graphics card user/enthusiast/overclocker crowd that much is obvious, but the question still remains, who is this processor for?Read full article @ Modders-Inc

MSI Z170A Gaming M5
We can’t very well launch a completely new CPU with a new chipset without a motherboard right? Well MSI sent over their new Z170A Gaming M5 motherboard for us to test out Skylake and also to see what MSI has to offer in their new Z170 boards. Today I will be taking a look at their mid ranged gaming motherboard.

Enjoy!Read full article @ LanOC Reviews

Parrot Bebop Drone And Skycontroller: A Personal HD Eye In The Sky @ HotHardware.com
Many of us have gazed in awe at some of the gorgeous, high-definition videos captured with ultra-expensive drones, and wished we could produce the same kind of imagery on our own. But for most of us, budgets would not allow it. With that in mind, Parrot sought to integrate a quality, full HD video camera into a lightweight drone, built with safety and accessibility as top priorities. The company also wanted to produce a drone that offered an engaging piloting experience with substantial range and an expertly designed, custom controller kit. The end result is the Bebop Drone and Skycontroller kit we'll be showing you here...Read full article @ "=?utf-8?Q?HotHardware.com?="

SteelSeries Heroes of the Storm Gaming Mouse Review
Fans of Blizzard Entertainment’s new multiplayer game Heroes of Storm might just have a new tool to up their execution while showing their devotion at the same time. In short, this mouse is based on the SteelSeries Sensei RAW and features a stylization inspired by that game’s artistic design. SteelSeries has been bringing forth licensed gaming products for quite a while now, especially for games from Blizzard namely World of Warcraft, StarCraft II, and Diablo III. Heroes of the Storm is Blizzard’s newest game release which left its open beta last June. Blizzard describes the game as a hero brawler and gameplay very much evokes the straightforward clash of individual characters in the numerous renditions of hero arena custom games on WarCraft III Battle.net. The character and artistic design of this game is notable as it brings together several signature characters from Blizzard’s biggest franchises.Read full article @ Legit Reviews
