Cooler Master MasterBox 5 First Look

Customization is an interesting thing when it comes to computers. For a while, just being able to swap out parts and components was as custom as you would get. This did not stop users from painting their cases, adding internal lights, and making it look nice. However, with Cooler Master's continuous campaign to "Make it Yours", it is no wonder practically all of their current products have some sort of customization in it. Today is another interesting case, but it is not anything new. Considering it was already showed to us at CES in January, it was just a matter of time when it would show up at our doors. Today we are taking a first look at the Cooler Master MasterBox 5, a more budget friendly case with a lot of ways to make it your own. Let us see what Cooler Master has delivered to us in today's preview.

Nowadays it seems personal data is constantly targeted for unauthorized access; whether remotely or by physically means.

Dell XPS 13 Gold Edition Review – Worlds Best Ultra Puts MBA In Its Place

The Dell XPS displays the world’s top performance when examining SSD read and write transfered speeds, although optimized, but that isn’t close to telling the whole story. Dell tied this performance in with Intel’s 6th generation i7-6550U CPU, 8 or 16GB of 1866Mhz RAM, Intel Iris 540 HD Graphics, along with Dell’s 13.3″ QHD+ (3200×1800) Infinity Edge Touch Display. The Dell XPS 13 isn’t just the best ultrabook available today, it’s the best of everything. It truly is and it is great to be back Dell!

MSI Gaming 3 and 4-way SLI Bridge Connector Review

The add-on fan is a great idea that takes the often used trick of mounting a fan over your card(s) to cool multiple GPUs and makes it a part that is incorporated seamlessly into the package. I found that at stock speeds the benefit of this fan was less than the advertised 10% improvement. However, there is a benefit in every scenario I tested bar one. The target audience for these SLI bridges are the high-end gaming crowd who want to get that last FPS or visual quality setting just because... well they can. If you have the means to populate all of the slots on your high-end gaming rig, the additional coin for an SLI bridge kit such as the MSI Gaming SLI Bridge kit, then the added cost won't be an issue for you. Pricing currently sits in the $50-$53 range for each one of these kits, with the 4-Way kit at $53 and the 3-Way kit coming in at $49.99. Meant for use with MSI Gaming GTX 9xxx cards, I found it the 3-Way bridge worked well with my reference 7 series hardware without any issues setting up the configuration. After going through my testing, this kit does a great job building performance through the addition of multiple cards and cooling the cards once in place. If a 3-Way or 4-Way graphics solution is beyond your reach, MSI does offer its Gaming SLI bridge connections for a 2-Way setup. Go get you some!

Sony XBR-75X940D Review

Introduction and featuresMuch as I love high dynamic range (HDR) technology in principle, it isn't half catching TVs out this year. The extreme amounts of brightness HDR demands are really bringing home the problems LCD screens have with delivering light on a truly 'local' basis, with problems such as light stripes, blocks and halos distracting you from the otherwise spellbinding HDR action.

The OnePlus 3 Review

In 2014 OnePlus was a company that was basically unheard of. Despite that, there was great anticipation in the Android enthusiast community about a new smartphone coming from this new company. Their first smartphone ended up being called the OnePlus One, and it was arguably the first device in a trend of smartphones that tried to bring flagship specifications to devices with prices much lower than what the big players in the smartphone market demanded for their best smartphones. The OnePlus One certainly wasnt perfect, but it showed that it was possible to produce a high spec smartphone for hundreds of dollars less than Android flagships, and what OnePlus needed to improve on was their execution.

A year came and went, and OnePlus came out with the OnePlus 2. This was during a time where the Android market was still struggling to deal with the issues posed by Qualcomms Snapdragon 808 and 810 SoCs, which put Android performance improvements at something of a standstill. In the case of the OnePlus 2, I discovered that OnePlus had put mechanisms in place that reduced web performance even further, and as I reviewed the OnePlus 2 I discovered concerning regressions in other aspects like the phones display, and its battery life.

Moving into 2016, we now have the OnePlus 3. At this point OnePlus now has a better variety of hardware to choose from, and they should know exactly what to fix from the OnePlus 2 to make a great smartphone. However, the smartphone market gets more competitive with each year that passes, and its no longer enough to simply put good specs in a device and fail with the execution. Finding out how well OnePlus executed with the user experience is what Im here to tell you, so read on for the AnandTech review of the OnePlus 3.
