Antec P280 Case Review

Always amongst the first few choices of an enthusiast’s shortlist when style and silence are of primary importance, Antec’s Performance One series has been synonymous with style and silent computing for many years. Antec’s engineers must have been very busy because the new P280 not only claims the ability to offer silent computing and unparalleled quality but outstanding thermal performance as well.

Antec Solo II Case Review

Antec Solo II Case Review

Most computer enthusiasts would remember the Antec Solo case; a product released nearly 7 years ago which featured a very subtle, Spartan appearance combined with almost every noise suppression system available at the time. The first version of the Solo was not very fancy but it certainly was a very effective case, which is why it took Antec over 6 years to replace the design.

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Water Cooler Review

Antec Kuhler H2O 620 Water Cooler Review
In the world of home computing, using water cooling started off when a couple of enthusiasts tried to achieve high overclocking performance on their (at the time) top of the line 486DX processors. Within a few months the trend took off and many enthusiasts and overclockers were designing and building their own parts, when companies offering ready parts and even ready to assemble kits began to emerge. It was not until years later that companies released closed, ready to run water cooling solutions and still only a few are available in the market today. Antec has just released such a water cooler, the very compact Kühler H2O 620, which also comes with a very interesting retail price tag. Will it manage to outperform the humongous air coolers available today? We will find out in this review.
