eTeknix: Cougar MX410-G RGB Mid-Tower Case Review
Cougar is well known for making a huge range of PC gaming hardware. From power supplies to gaming keyboards, they’ve got a little bit of something for everybody! Of course, today I’m really interested in their PC cases, and while it doesn’t have the coolest name in the world, the MX410-G is packing some impressive features. What’s more, it is extremely affordable at just over £40, so it’s sure to appeal to those who want all those RGB and tempered glass thrills without breaking the bank.

Anandtech: The Acer Nitro 5 Review: Renoir And Turing On A Budget
Acer has had a big year in 2020, thanks to their close relationship with AMD. Acer has long been a strong partner of AMD, through the good times, and the bad, and right now is about as good a time to be an AMD partner as it can be. AMD’s Renoir platform has been a revolution for their mobile device efforts. The company had strong packages for the desktop really ever since they launched the Ryzen platform in 2017, but those successes did not translate over to the laptop space, but with the latest Ryzen 4000 series processors, aka Renoir, all of that has changed.

LanOC Reviews: Cooler Master MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror
Cooler Master isn’t new to the all in one cooler game, they were there right at the beginning when they were just starting to come out and they have continued to change things up over the years. RGB has been a thing for a while now and companies have been looking at how to change things up and we have already seen companies putting their lighting behind mirrors for a different look and Cooler Master is no different. They showed them off at CES this year and even though it has been a crazy year they did just recently introduce them officially with their MasterLiquid Mirror coolers. Well, I had the MasterLiquid ML280 Mirror come in and sticking with the cooling theme I have put it through our test suite and today I’m going to take a look at it and see how it performed, what it has to offer, and where it fits in the market price-wise.
