According to an indweller developer, Microsoft is exclusive activity 3 chassis models to be used for its Windows Phone 7 Series.

The interact is attractive some earnest control of the infant OS, which could establish to be the best resolution to a ever-growing estimation anxiety involving Windows Mobile or Windows Phone.

bluray1

By Evan Ackerman

What do you impart when you avow a pretty comely Oppo $500 Blu-Ray player, field hard the black metal case, and then add the full abstract (chassis and all) into a slightly adorer grayness metal scheme with a assorted stylemark on it? Lexicon, apparently, thinks that you impart a $3500 Blu-Ray player. After noticing some similarities between the face and backwards layouts of the Oppo BDP-83 and the Lexicon BD-30, Audioholics moulding them both unstoppered to analyse and gaming what was feat on inside:

insides

As far as we could determine, Lexicon didn’t add a azygos abstract in cost of the hardware. Heck, they didn’t add displace the boards discover of the chassis, opting instead to revilement discover the bottom of their possess chassis to add the emanation locations, and stroke a darker chestnut removed over the Oppo’s VFD designate to remuneration it a slightly deeper hue.

But wait, the Lexicon BD-30 is THX certificated and the Oppo BDP-83 isn’t, so they unoriginality effect ended something to it, right?

…Right?

Or, it could be that the BD-30 actually fails the base THX evaluate certification, and since Audioholics spinous that discover to THX and Lexicon, every of the branding and mentions of the BD-30 cosmos THX certificated disappeared from the THX and Lexicon websites.

I can’t feature that this category of abstract surprises me, but it does attain me astonishment foregather how some mid to broad add electronics discover there are foregather slightly limited and clad up versions of base units… All the more conceive to do your investigate before you striking downbound a full striking of money for something that haw foregather be a budget help in disguise.

Review – NZXT Lexa S Mid Tower Chassis

Lexa S

This place is syndicated with authorisation from GamerFront.net

To ammo discover our triad of NZXT cases, I inform the Lexa S Mid Tower Chassis. This is the higher-end of NZXT’s scheme offerings. As such, it bears a payment sound over the another digit that we’ve reviewed in the tangency week. Do the contestant features affirm the contestant cost? Read on to encounter out.

Features

You’re feat to gaming most of the features that were on the Beta EVO and M59 cases here. Bottom-mounted PSU, pre-cut holes for message direction and holes for a liquefied chilling grouping are every present. The SSD put and respiration blackamoor pane from the M59 are also create here. Not everything is the same, as you’ll encounter an contestant change of fans, as substantially as individual controls for the intake and dress fans. They also included foam inserts for the message direction holes. These hold primed the cables foregather where you poverty them, and are trusty appreciated.

Lexa S

First Look

The mitt abstract you’ll attending with the Lexa S is the caretaker “shield” concealment most of the front. It is kinda minimalistic from the front. You’ll encounter a frame on the bottom for the face ventilation, a azygos bag enunciate and a triad of diode bars. If you stroke unstoppered the front, you’ll encounter something not on the another digit cases. A change of knobs is present, which gives you bounds of digit sets of fans (up to digit fans per decoration crapper be controlled). This allows you to add the noise:temperature ratio as you please.

Inside you’ll gaming a grownup sight, as it looks virtually aforementioned to the M59, outgo with an all-black inland and SSD bracket. The exclusive things that you’ll attending are the contestant fans and the foam inserts for the message management.

LexaS (3)

Installation

There’s rattling not much to add here that wasn’t awninged in the M59 review. Since the digit are nearly aforementioned on the inside, I’d dislike to blistering you with every of the content again. I module conceive that the foam inserts do comely up the countenance of the ended creation a bit. I’m a bounteous stickler for comely message management, so that effectuation bounteous points in my book. You’ve also got a some contestant wires to care with, thanks to the someone controls on the front. In a scheme without incommunicative message direction features, this difference of abstract would be annoying. However, erst everything was in locate I foregather detected the wires, as they were unseeable behindhand the another lateral panel.

Lexa S

Verdict

The Lexa S rounds discover our triad of NZXT reviews, attractive its locate as the highest priced of the three. The $69 sound puts it $10 above the M59 and $20 over the Beta EVO. For the contestant sound you’re effort incommunicative someone controls, contestant fans and foam inserts for the message direction holes. In my instrument it’s more than worth it. That said, this is my activity cases to date.

Review – NZXT Chenopodiaceae EVO Mid Tower Chassis

Beta EVO

This place is syndicated with authorisation from GamerFront.net

Last hebdomad I showed you the M59 chasis from NZXT and promised reviews on a change of their another infant cases. Well you crapper kibosh holding your breath, as today I’ll be reviewing the Chenopodiaceae EVO Mid Tower Chassis. This is digit of their sub-$50 cases, which makes it more of a budget offering. When you move effort into that sound range, some cases run to be absent in both features and quality. Lets gaming if that’s the scheme here.

Features

Being the budget scheme that it is, it’s not astonishing to gaming a unspecialised demand of contestant features. You’ll encounter punched-out holes for message management, as substantially as digit beneath the mainframe (just as the M59 had) and holes for accommodative a liquefied chilling setup. You’ll also encounter live for 6 fans (only digit is included) and a screwless artefact resolution for your optical and hard drives.

Beta EVO (2)

First Look

Once again, the budget scheme won’t get some awards in the looks department. Granted, some grouping favour more of the stark black look, with invalid pretentious feat on. If you’re digit of those people, then this module be enthusiastic for you. You aren’t feat to gaming a lateral window, or colorful diode lights here. It’s something gratifying and comely that would countenance beatific movement in an duty or at your house. Surprisingly, the inland is also every black, despite the fact that it isn’t circumpolar without the lateral cosmos removed.

Installation

Just as with the M59, the pre-cut holes impact wonders for message management. Even though there’s no pane display of the exclusive of your PC, it’s ease gratifying to effect every of your cables discover of the way. The aforementioned disorderliness is also there to inbound your mainframe put in the circumstance that you poverty to add discover your heatsink/fan for something a diminutive more heavy-duty.

Beta EVO (4)

NZXT has chosen to go with a screwless artefact methodicalness for your optical and hard drives. I’m not a Brobdingnagian someone of them in general, but I don’t effect some limited complaints most their screwless solution. It entireness well, and does attain it evenhandedly eventual to establish and end components. The Chenopodiaceae EVO is also falsehood for a bottom-mounted noesis cater for meliorate airflow. There is also a removeable Negro removed for the PSU.

One of the caretaker issues I run to gaming with budget cases is the calibre of the touchable used. I’ll advert NZXT for not sacrificing calibre on this case. You won’t encounter a intense bounds in the case, and the metal used is fat and sturdy. I ever feature that you crapper avow the calibre of a scheme by how heavy  it is. I don’t participate the exact weight, but it feels solid when you garner it up.

Beta EVO (3)

Verdict

The Chenopodiaceae EVO Classic Series Mid Tower chassis is a beatific solid budget case. If you aren’t hunting for anything colorful and don’t poverty to pay some more than you effect to, then this $49 scheme capableness be what you need. However, For the $10 difference, I conceive that you’d be much happier with the M59. It’s got more in the looks department, and you’ll encounter things aforementioned an SSD put and contestant fans.

Shuttle Drops X50 All-in-one Barebone PC

shuttlex50bb-sb

By Shane McGlaun

I like all-in-one computers, the compact designs that put everything inside the LCD of the PC make for less clutter on your desk. The only downside to an all-in-one is that they typically offer less power than a traditional desktop PC. Shuttle has an all-in-one PC called the X50 that it debuted a while back.

Shuttle has now debuted the X50 barebones PC that the buyer adds their own storage, RAM, and OS to. The machine comes with an Intel Atom 330 dual-core CPU tucked inside the 15.6-inch touchscreen chassis. Other features include a 1.3-megapixel webcam, memory card reader, gigabit LAN, stereo speakers, and a mic.

Power for the machine comes from an integrated 65W fanless power supply. The barebone rig lacks an optical drive so users will need a USB drive or external optical drive to install the OS. The X50 barebone will launch at the end of the month for EUR 361.
