Today we're having a look at a water-cooling kit from Swiftech. They have sent us the H2O-220 Apex Ultima, a kit with the Apogee GTZ CPU block, MCR220-QP radiator, MCP665-B pump and MCRES-Micro Rev 2 water reservoir.
It looks like a great setup, but what kind of performance can we get from it and can it handle the pressure from todays high performance components?

We have today posted our next case review and this time we take a look at one of the new performance cases from Antec, namely the P183.
It looks like the P182 in many ways, the fanguard however is removed from the top, a new design on the front door, but is there anything else that has been changed?
Well head over to our review to find out!

Antec has today announced a hotswap accessory for your computer case, the Easy SATA. Perhaps not the most convenient product if you want several disks but its great if you have for example a Raid 1 setup with maybe two disks easy accessible from the front.
Anyhow, this is a great step for Antec as they might be able to offer their users similar products in the future, bringing server accessories to the home computer.

Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm Fan
Noctua NF-S12B FLX 120mm Fan
Today for review I've got another 120mm fan entry from Noctua, it's called the NF-S12B FLX, the FLX meaning flex, or that it can be run at variable speeds. I've put the NF-S12B FLX up against several other fans I've got on hand, including Noctua ones, and it performs admirably well.

Should content posted on a website be decided by its readers, or companies? Rather than have typical advertising sustain a site and support its growth, are there other avenues worth exploring? These are the questions on the table, and Senior Editor Brett Thomas has taken a hard look at both, analyzing the pros, and the far more important cons.

ASUS Maximus II Gene mATX
ASUS Maximus II Gene mATX
ASUS has some tough shoes to fill. Fortunately, they're familiar shoes; their own, in fact. A long string of high performance motherboards that got adopted simultaneously by the enthusiast and gaming sets, led ASUS to create a specialty brand segment they call "Republic of Gamers". The ROG Creed goes like this: "The Republic of Gamers is committed to delivering the most innovative and best performing PC solutions to enhance the gaming experience of power users." That's a tall order, especially in the competitive PC component market where today's news is already old news. One of the newest members of this Republic is the Maximus II GENE, part of a new group of small form factor components that give nothing away in performance to their larger brethren. Benchmark Reviews is pleased to review this latest offering, based on the Intel P45 and ICH10R, and we put it through the wringer against a well known full ATX-size reference boa! rd. The new ASUS Maximus II Gene motherboard goes by the tagline: Mini Size, Max Mobility. You have to take these marketing lines with a grain of salt, because taken at face value, you might expect a mini-ITX board. Instead we have a micro-ATX (uATX) board that squeezes almost every last feature from its feature-rich ROG brother into the slightly smaller format. A more accurate description might be: Micro Size, Max Performance. Let's dive in and take a look at what ASUS calls: A new band of ROG heroes, the GENE squad.
