After careful consideration I have decided to transfer all hardware review activities to a new domain. I purchased Hardwareasylum.com in 2012 and have been working hard to build a new and improved Ninjalane on that domain. If you are reading this you have reached one of the archived articles, news, projects and/or reviews that were left behind during the site migration.
Please update your bookmarks and be sure to visit the new and improved Ninjalane at Hardwareasylum.com

When it comes to building cases that not only look good but are easy to customize, look no further than Silverstone. To reinforce the modification aspect of their cases check out the XFX flame job on their demo machine. You'll also find a customer mod at the bottom designed to look like an old wood radio.
One of the coolest items on display was this media center pc complete with touch screen LCD and external passive watercooling unit. The entire cooler is made from a single piece of aluminum complete with cooling pipes in the outer shell. One cleaver show attendee was giving them a hard time about putting a PSU in this case with a 120mm fan stating that fans shouldn't be in watercooled cases. I tend to disagree..
Speaking for fans check out this MicroATX case, it comes with 2 120mm fans up front for additional cooling and to help illustrate how much room there is inside they packed it with nVidia 2x GX2 video cards.
