Case Mod Friday: Big Red

Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have TechMaxTV's "Big Red" build! This is what he had to say about it, "This time I'll upgrade my personal rig. The colorscheme I'm planning to go with is black/white/red. I will go for a 480mm radiator in the top and in the bottom and a full watercooling loop with red coolant. I will remove all the drivebays in the front and probably go for a dual reservoir. Possibly I would do a custom acrylic glass window side panel."

Moto Z Play Review: 8-Cores And Insane Battery Life

Moto introduced the Moto Z family back in July with the launch of the Moto Z and Moto Z Force. Packed with flagship worthy hardware like the Qualcomm Snapdragon 820, both phones made a serious statement (click for full review) thanks to their modular capabilities, by way of Moto Mods. Moto Mods tune the already premium smartphones to a whole new level when attached. We were impressed by the Moto Mods we played with, including JBL's SoundBoost and the Moto Insta-Share Projector. Unfortunately, these phones were tied to Verizon at the time of our review, but unlocked variants are now trickling onto store shelves.

Today, however, we take a close look at the newest sibling in the Moto Z family - the Moto Z Play. The Moto Z Play is pitched as a more affordable alternative to the Moto Z and Moto Z Force...

QNAP TS-451+

You may not have noticed, but not only have PCs been getting smaller but devices like notebooks, phones, and tablets have been taking over. It doesn’t mean that the PC is going away as some people would like you to think, but it does mean that fewer devices have the capability to hold bulk storage. Sure SSDs are getting bigger and computers have some room, but enthusiasts, geeks, and professionals used to load up their main PCs with hard drives and the PC market is moving away from that. You could go with an external drive but they don’t really have the capacity as well. Because of that, the home NAS market has been picking up and more and more people are realizing that a central storage location is helpful for the whole family. In our case, I moved to NAS storage years ago to cut back on electricity from having servers running in the house. We have had one for my attached office and another with video files but recently those have filled up and I’ve been looking at new options. While doing that I thought it would be a great time to take a look at what QNAP has going on so they sent over their TS-451+. My past NAS have been powered by slower CPUs and over time his has caused slowdowns when running RAID so I’m excited to see how the TS-451+ performs with its Intel quad core. So let’s dive in.

Silverstone Primera PM01 Case Review

Computer cases tend to follow the popular trends in the market. Some of those trends are beneficial like side windows and large 120mm cooling fans while others can make you cringe like hard drive docks and excessive internal storage options. Regardless of what case you currently have and what features may have been popular during that era there have always been ways to modify your case and experienced modders who know how to freshen the overall style.

In this review I’ll be looking at the Silverstone Primera Series PM01. This is a new series for Silverstone that is designed for exceptional style and functionality. Primera is a Spanish word for first and is an interesting choice considering that the overall design and style are “firsts” for Silverstone despite the extravagant Raven designs we all love.
