We’ll make this one short and sweet, because that’s how I personally view BitFenix’s newly announced Prodigy M Color chassis. These little beauties offer everything that the original midnight black and arctic white versions do, such as a small footprint, micro-ATX motherboard support, room for up to 9 hard drives, and some…..

Comparing how we control fans and lighting, and read temperatures using 3.5″ or even 5.25″ bay-mounted units with knobs and dials, could be compared to a caveman discovering fire. It’s a big deal, but there’s loads of room for advancement. Corsair is trying to move these Neanderthals (and the rest of us) into…..

Want a high-performance wireless gaming mouse that doesn’t have its battery-life measured in seconds? Well, SteelSeries has released its renowned Sensei into the wild, free to run and frolic in grassy meadows, without the need of being tethered to unsightly cables. Does the result live up to our high expectations? There’s only one way to find out.

Thermaltake’s Level 10 product line has always been as much about style and design as it has been about innovation and function. Until now, one piece of the puzzle has been missing: audio. That changes with the Level 10M gaming headset, designed for gamers and those on-the-go. Let’s find out if it’s deserving of that Level 10 name.

The way the gaming keyboard market has been lately, you’d almost have to guess that rubber-domed models simply no longer existed. In fact, we haven’t taken a look at a non-mechanical keyboard in over two-and-a-half years. Believe it or not though, non-mechs still exist, and as SteelSeries’ Apex proves, they can still be very good.

There are four pieces to the puzzle that is livingroom gaming. A computer, a television, a comfy place to park your backside, and something to control your on-screen alter ego. Up until now, the last piece of this puzzle, the peripherals, has proven to be cumbersome for many of us who don’t…..

Tablets are a dime-a-dozen lately, but Rob reported on a very special one that was unveiled at CES this past January. It’s not one that’s likely to appeal to all of our readers, but listen up parents, because this one is for you. Well, actually it’s for your children! Manufactured by Fuhu…..

The press releases are starting to fly as the anticipation ramps up for next month’s Computex in Taipei, and the first that has really caught my eye is an announcement by well-known case manufacturer Lian Li. Building on the news from CeBit earlier this year, the Taiwanese company has dropped additional information…..

If you’re building a new PC and are aiming for the mITX form-factor, chances are good that you’ll be placing this PC out in the open, for everyone to see. That being the case (no pun, of course), you no doubt want it to look good, and be reasonably easy to install in. Fortunately, Fractal’s NODE 304 hits the mark on both accounts.

If you still think that Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas was the best thing since hot coffee (see what I did there?), grab your 9mm and your mobile device, because Rockstar is set to re-release the game next month across multiple mobile operating systems. Rockstar promises improved graphics, shadows, a greater draw…..

If you’re on a budget, but wanted a smartphone, it used to be that you resigned yourself to using last generation’s technology, or a current generation phone that has been drastically scaled back. Thankfully, it looks like those days are coming to an end, with the Motorola Moto G, unveiled earlier this…..

Today, most of us are always on the hunt for tools that can make our lives easier. Enter the HTPC. We have the Internet, movies and photos on our phones – why not on our TVs? Come along on a voyage of technological discovery that is fraught with peril, as we cover the good and potentially bad of building one of these handy systems.

Let’s start off with some math, shall we? Cheap games + your butt in front of a monitor = helping others. If that does not compute, you should head on over to GOG.com for a lesson, sucka!   GOG currently has a promotion running where you pick 3 or more games, pay…..

Alright, folks! Google has finally taken the wraps off of the worst kept secret in the smartphone world: the Nexus 5! For those who don’t know, the Nexus 5 is the next generation of “pure” Google phone, meaning that instead of a skinned Android operating system that most manufacturers use in order…..

Whether you’re a serious overclocker with a blazing hot chip, or simply want a little added performance over and above what the stock cooler can provide, Corsair seems to have all price points covered with its Hyrdo series all-in-one coolers. After an extended hiatus, we’re back at it with a look at one of the company’s top high-end offerings, the H100i.

Of all of the Techgage staff members, I’m probably the last one of the bunch to pick up a smartphone, but I’m certainly making up for lost time. I spend a fair bit of my morning cruising mobile news and review sites for the next big thing, and I may have found…..

Since branching out into other markets, memory giant Corsair has launched some of the most in-demand and highest rated products available today. Rather than only catering to the enthusiast crowd, it has also launched well performing, feature rich products that even the average Joe or Jill can afford. Enter the new Graphite…..

If bigger is truly better, then Cooler Master’s Cosmos full tower cases must be a double fudge sundae with whipped cream, sprinkles and cherries on top. Still not enough? How about another scoop in the form of the brand new Cosmos SE? This addition to the family keeps the same basic exterior…..

Fractal’s original Arc Midi chassis impressed us enough to become the base of our CPU cooler testing rig, so when we heard that a sequel to it was released, we couldn’t wait to check it out. With its beefy feature-set, semi modular design, support for up to a 240mm radiator and a $70 price tag, this mid-tower might just be the one to beat.

With each new processor architecture we tend to see more performance with less voltage, which in turn equals less heat… or so you would think. Sure, temperatures are nowhere near the raging infernos that they used to be (cough-Netburst-cough), but things can still get roasty toasty when all of that horsepower is…..
