APH Networks: Antec C5 ARGB Review
Would you agree that "less is more", or is more actually more? From the bygone era of the 1960s, minimalist design has surprisingly gained quite a bit of traction in computer case design. Although computer chassis have stayed mostly in the shape of a box, there have been quite a few examples in recent memory that take after the box even more. Maximalism, on the other hand, is opposed to minimalism. It embraces showy, abundant excess. In our situation today, the Antec C5 ARGB could be seen as a mix of both. It is reminiscent of a piece of modern architecture. When off, it is a quiet, discreet, minimal box, with floor to ceiling windows and a hint of angular flair. However, as you trigger the power button, the once quiet, dark monolith roars to life. A large number of fans start spinning and a dazzling display of lights blast into your eye holes with enough to rival the slot machines of the Vegas strip. This Antec C5 ARGB is the embodiment of these things in a case. It is a modern design with both minimalist and maximalist ideas. It also includes many current and popular features. Whether it is the fishbowl panoramic glass, integrated addressable RGB LED lighting, dual-chamber design and back connector motherboard support, it has it all. So let us dive into what this product has to offer.

MadShrimps: CHERRY MX 3.0S Wireless Gaming Keyboard Review
The MX 3.0S Wireless is great in terms of connectivity options and really stands out thanks to the aluminum construction. The plastic sides will eventually pick up fingerprints due to the piano black finish, while the minimal space between the keys makes sure that no extra space is lost.
