In Win has geared the Griffin towards users who want an aesthetically pleasing case along with functionality and decent airflow. They have also added tons of nice features at a great price

With a feature list to long to list some things included with this affordable case are a complete black paint job, both inside and out, support for more fans than you can imagine and support for longer video cards.

Antec really has not really introduced anything super ground breaking in a long time.  I mean they did start their gaming case line with the 900 case and some other cases followed, but they have had the same style cases for quite some time.  This year at CES I was extremely excited when I saw a set of cases that looked nothing like that Antec cases of the past and finally brought them up to date internally.  The cases I’m talking about are the Dark Fleet series.  This new series has 3 cases, 2 mid towers and 1 full tower.  Today we will be looking at the full tower, the DF-85.  This case features so many features we can’t list them all here!  So go ahead and read on as we check out the Dark Fleet DF-85! Special thanks to Antec for providing us with the Dark Fleet DF-85 Full Tower Case to review.

Opening the box up the case is nicely protected with large pieces of Styrofoam.  Getting the case out it is protected in a plastic bag and there is plastic on the side panel window so it will not get scratched.

Gaming cases are becoming more and more powerful at lower and lower prices. But it can be difficult to find a cheap case that supports larger video cards. The Cooler Master Elite 430 Black that we have the opportunity to review today does support larger video cards, is painted black inside and out, and has a multitude of other features.

“Unique. Unprecedented.

The Armor Series from Thermaltake has been around for a few years now and has been quite popular.  Most cases in the Armor series are in the mid to higher price range.  Seeing that many case manufacturers are coming out with budget cases aimed at the mainstream Thermaltake has come out with the Armor A90, which comes into the market at under $100.  It features a very unique design, 3 cooling fans, and the quality we are all used to seeing from Thermaltake.  Let’s see if the Armor A90 becomes the best budget case we have looked at!
