Looking back at the thousands of products on show at Computex 2012, it's easy to end up with geek-fatigue. Like a kid in a sweet shop, we spent as much time salivating over the new technology as we did writing about it. Now the action has died down, we'll be …

Today we are looking at a case designed for the smallest breed of motherboard, the mini-ITX, which was developed back in 2001.

If a mate says Zalman, then almost the first thing that comes to mind will be the wonderful copper flowers that ruled the CPU-cooling planet around 10 years ago. Now the company has ambitions in other directions. KitGuru prepares to accept that Samsung may not be the only Korean firm …

We’ve seen densely packed chassis from SilverStone in the past, but the new Sugo SG09 is taking things to another level and SilverStone has really outdone itself in terms of how much hardware can be packed into a 23L chassis. We’re not going to say that the Sugo SG09 is …

Ah yes, the good old chassis, ever evolving despite following a standard that was ratified back in 1995 and nothing much has really changed with regards to the base specs. That said, many a case manufacturer has come up with its own twists on the standard and SilverStone is one …
