IKONIK, who recently announced the cooperation with PCB Distribution, is proud to introduce her entire series for PC-cases in the Nordic region.
Ra X10 Series
In Nordic region the high-end full tower PC-case Ra X10 is currently available in two versions, Ra X10 SIM and Ra X10 Smooth. IKONIK’s Ra X10-Series has everything users expect from a PC-case, it is full aluminum, lots of drive bays, advanced air circulation and a combination of aero-dynamic and futuristic looks.
Ra X10 SIM is an intelligent PC-case, combines 13 fans and SIM, which cools the system efficiently. SIM for Ra X10 is a universal tuning solution to measure the temperature of six components and monitor and control all the 13 fans, helpful to monitor and control the thermal process.
Ra X10 Smooth is designed to combine performance with low noise level computing. Its four fans take care of the airflow, making sure all components are cooled efficiently. Everything has been done to minimize the noise level, such as rubber strips preventing vibration, anti-vibration springs for optical drives and special designed hard-drive installation rails to reduce noise.
Zaria Series
The Zaria-series is available in two models: Zaria A10 and Zaria A20. Zaria A10 has a unique 3D upswept curve design. Whoever said functionality and style can’t go together, should take a look at IKONIK’s Zaria A20. It has a Mondrian design, with an integrated ‘Kick Start’ power button.
For those that require ultimate graphic performance, the Zaria accommodates seven expansion slots. A 140 mm front and 120 mm rear fan will make sure that the components are cooled efficiently. The Zaria-series can easily be upgraded with one 120 mm bottom fan and dual 80 mm side fans and tube holes are prepared for any external liquid cooling.
Besides design, IKONIK’s Zaria-series has some features renewed. Installing the four optical and five hard-drives is entirely tool-less, with a simple one-click design. The hard-drives can be installed into two directions to optimal cable routing. And anti-vibration and noise reduction rubbers and springs are added for the hard and optical drives as well as for the power supply.
The Zaria-series is also available with IKONIK’s SIM (System Intelligent Management). SIM is the only available software interface on the market that allows users to optimize their case fans and temperature.
IKONIK Taran-series
Built to the same high standards as the award winning Zaria, the Taran is focused on providing unparalleled quality at an affordable price. Each Taran case has a sleek and classic aluminum front bezel. Using the latest automobile structuring forming technology, the Taran case showcases a seamless and 3 dimensional outlook.
Built to the highest specification, the Taran series is compliant with Intel’s latest TAC 2.0 standard ensuring the highest compatibility with the latest hardware and thermal design specifications. The Taran can host four 5.25” and five 3.5” devices, which can be cooled by one 120 mm front and one 120 mm rear fan. Additionally users can install another 120 mm bottom fan. Installing components can be done easily with the tool-less design. The seven expansion slots can be locked with a tool-less rail, which makes it easy to add cards and maintenance.
The Taran series is combining functionality and build quality into a case that is not only affordable but stylish as well.

OCZ Technology Shutters Hypersonic-PC

OCZ Technology Shutters Hypersonic-PC
Over the past few months, it's become increasingly clear that OCZ has shifted its focus more towards its core products, and as a result, the company will no longer invest in things like cooling products, peripherals and so forth. Rather, it will focus on SSDs, memory and of course, power supplies. As I made my earlier post, I had wondered what OCZ's renewed focus would mean for Hypersonic-PC, and that was made clear to me earlier today.

OCZ Vertex Turbo 120GB SSD
Making the decision to upgrade to an SSD isn't difficult, but finding the "perfect" SSD is a different story thanks to the sheer amount of choice out there; sometimes even from the same vendor! Fortunately, OCZ's Vertex Turbo delivers a great blend of performance and GB per dollar, making it well worth consideration.

HIS Radeon HD 5670
HIS Radeon HD 5670
The HIS Radeon HD5670 is a very capable card for the cheap price of only US$89 at your favorite online retailer. Although it is not a screamer, at almost half the price of a HD5750, for the moderate gamer, it could be considered quite a deal for a videocard sporting such an impressive stock cooling solution.

4-Way Intel H55 Motherboard Shootout
Right now there are a number of quality options for budget-conscious users looking to build a new computer. The AMD Phenom II X2 processor series, for example, will get you a fine deal of processing power at just $110 for the 3.2GHz flagship part. Combine this with the affordable AMD 785G based motherboards selling for around $70 and you have the makings of a seriously good value platform. However, if you are willing to part with a little more cash, then the new Intel Core i3 series might be the way to go. When compared to the dual-core Phenom II X2 555, consumers will pay about $20-$30 more for a Core i3 530 processor, while compatible Intel H55 motherboards are on average $20-$30 more than the AMD alternative as well. There are a number of H55 motherboards available at reasonable prices, so picking one for your next build is no easy task. Our round-up comprises 4 Intel H55 based motherboards from the likes of Asrock, Asus, ECS, and Gigabyte. With a narrow price range between $90 and $105, it all comes down to features and performance.

CiragoTV Pro CTP1000 Multimedia Player
CiragoTV Pro CTP1000 Multimedia Player
I’ve taken a look at a few media players here on TestFreaks and most are fairly decent and honestly they’re all pretty similar at least in the interfaces. Today for review I’ve got another one from Cirago called the CiragoTV Pro CTP1000. It’s a media player with HDMI, Component and Composite outputs so you can use it with any TV and it includes a 500gig hard drive for you storage. The CTP1000 also has a memory card reader and a USB port so you can read directly from memory cards, USB flash drives or USB hard drives so you can expand the storage or quickly view things without transferring them to the main hard drive. One thing about this product though is that it’s UBS only for transfers, there’s no networking with this unit, is that a good thing or a bad thing? Read on..

Able Planet as a company has really piqued my interest, too. They are committed to providing headphones for people with all levels of hearing. The Linx Audio technology aids in this by enhancing high frequency sounds where clarity is often lost in the early stages of hearing loss.

Customize Your Windows 7 Start Menu Button
Windows users have been customizing their desktops in a variety of ways for years. Whether by downloading themes and backgrounds, or using third party applications to change more obscure settings like the default logon screen, many people seem intent on personalizing every aspect of their operating system to something that fits their individual taste. And what better to alter than an icon that's always visible? While we don't mind the Windows 7 Start Menu icon, and actually feel it's somewhat of a leap from the rectangular buttons of old, swapping out the orb for a new icon is quick and painless with the help of Kishan-Bagaria's Windows 7 Start Orb Changer. It even comes with a few examples to get you started.

After going over the features and specifications of the CM 690 II Advanced chassis prior to the review, I had high hopes for the case. I wasn't disappointed. Cooler Master has taken the 690 design to the next level in virtually all the important areas.
