HEXUS Snapshot: The One is pleasant to work with, it cools surprisingly well and, frankly, punches well above its weight. Few things are as satisfying as a good bargain, and we reckon we've found one in Antec's latest mainstream chassis. Dubbed simply...

When building a new gaming rig, cost can often hinder you. Cases billed as “gaming” based on style may look great but offer very little other than a conversation starter when your friends see it. This case is on the market for around £40-£60 depending on...

Our HTC phone comparison wouldn't be complete without a look at the HTC One. The HTC One is hard to beat in the world of smartphones. How can you compete with HTC's BlinkFeed functionality where updates of all your favorite social sites – Facebook,...

Antec’s One may only cost $60 but it boasts a great feature set, plenty of fan options and the exterior design isn’t particularly offensive like some competing cases. However, with Corsair’s 200R and several other cases breathing down their necks,...
