Overclockers UK Kinetic H3 Review – Besides the new graphics card – famed for its superb price-to-performance ratio – this Kinetic H3 also packs an Intel Core i5-6400, 8GB of 2,400MHz DDR4 RAM, a 1TB hard disk and a 240GB SSD; pretty much everything a budding...

Aerocool BattleHawk Black

Aerocool BattleHawk Black

Aerocool BattleHawk Black Review – At just 18 inches deep, the BattleHawk from Aerocool is on the small end of the mid-tower spectrum, but it supports ATX boards (as well as mATX and Mini-ITX ones), graphics cards up to more than 15 inches long, and fullsized...

Vibox Rapture Sinner Review – Honestly, this build should come with a warning sticker on the box: “Please wear protective goggles before switching on machine.” The Vibox Noctis 450 is nothing short of an LED monster, bedazzling all who gaze into the fiery abyss that resides...

Origin Genesis X99

Origin Genesis X99 Review – Welcome to crazy town, population the Origin Genesis X99. Origin PC is known for building ridiculously high-end PCs, but this one takes the cake. There’s a reason it costs close to nine grand, but if you’ve got the money to...

Alienware Alpha

Alienware Alpha

Alienware Alpha Review – The Alpha is one of the more remarkable pre-built gaming PCs that Aussies can buy. Designed by Alienware to deliver a full gaming PC experience in a form factor around half the size of a Playstation 4, it’s easily the smallest gaming...

PLE Achromic GTX970

PLE Achromic GTX970

PLE Achromic GTX970 Review – PLE Computers are another Aussie system builder and IT store, and it’s interesting to see just how similar this machine is to the Scorptec Hulk. They’re both priced within $150 of each other, and the key components used within are all...

Scorptec Hulk 970

Scorptec Hulk 970

Scorptec Hulk 970 Review – Built by Aussie company Scorptec, this machine is aptly named thanks to the striking (and, unfortunately, unprintable – art) green colour scheme used throughout. As well as the beautiful case NZXT 440 case which has green highlights, the builders have installed...
