Raidmax has long been a common name in computer cases and cooling solutions. While not necessarily known for over-the-top designs or cutting edge technology, their products have always been very competively priced. The chasis we are looking at here...

When I first started this review, I was hesitant to move the components of my old P4 system into a new case; there is always something that can go wrong when dealing with electronic components and there is always that nail biting moment just before...

We have reviewed quite a few cases over the years here at BCCHardware and many of them have come from NZXT, Thermaltake and Zalman. NZXT generally wins in the value department while Thermaltake cases are always classy and well built. Zalman cases...
