If you crave silence from your PC then the Silencio is a great budget option, but high-performance kit might feel the heat...

Fancy a gamer case with LEDs, huge spinning fans with lasers and glow strips, elaborate colours, side windows, big plastic front panels? Go read another review then. This is one for the enthusiasts, the professionals and the silence nazis. The Cooler...

When I mention the Cooler Master Silencio 550, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the movie "Mulholland Drive". In the film, there is an eerie theater by the name of Club Silencio. Actually, that is about all I can tell you, because as some...

We've tested a wide range of high-end chassis in recent months, ranging from the weird, to the intriguing, to the jaw-droppingly beautiful, and they've all had one thing in common: they're a little noisier than we'd like. Perhaps it's a sign of the inc...
