First off, I would like to thank everglide for providing these for us to review, go check them out at www.everglide.com or www.everglide.co.uk, they ship internationally. There is a sale on at time of writing, and all their products are now offered at a lower cost, don't miss the opportunity to get some quality stuff cheap. Now onto the review.

The pc-tote is meant to hold a computer like a suitcase, making it so that you do not have to use both hands, it this is meant for a person who LANs a lot or just moves their computer a good amount of times. At first, it just looks like the strap to my book bag. There was a section of rubber that is meant for the person to hold onto. It seemed very well made.

Now onto the tests and to see how it fairs against my case and myself as well.

This is not a bad product, especially for being real cheap, $5 bucks. At closer look, it did not seem to be of strong quality, like if I tried, I could rip it apart from the seams. It was also difficult to tighten it. I carried a computer of mine around and shook it a bit, it started getting loose.

However, for the price, it is a good alternative compared to the other products that do the same thing. They do not make these however, they were replaced with the gear grip, which is about $15 more expensive, so maybe it is 3 times the quality. Just make sure you do not add an insane amount of weight and also do not swing your computer around with this, like you would right? If it is being sold anywhere else, now you have a review. I would give this product an 8/10.

Ed: everglide UK sells the GearGrip range, which we have not had chance to review. Hopefully we can get one to test soon

If you have any questions on a review I have done, I am a real person, not some drone or corporate tool, and you can contact me, I am frequently browsing the forums, my user name is rayz00 and all you have to do is post if you would like to know more on an item I have reviewed, I will give you the best information I can. The main thing I do on the computer is game and read online websites, so you can see why I review the way I review.

Back in the old days a case was just a box you plonked the computer in. Now it's an integral part of your cooling system as well, and this one is trying something a bit new. Luckily, and importantly, it also looks rather natty. 
Enermax are no stranger to the scene. They've been producing top flight power supplies for yonks and have tried there hand at case design on a few occasions too. This, the CS-718 released under the company's

The evolution of waterblock design has been to eek as much cooling performance from systems as possible without introducing brute force methods like bigger radiators or faster, louder, cooling fans. A while back I took a look at the Alphacool NexXxoS Pro HP block which, back then, was a bit of an arse kicker. Here we'll have a look at a new block with a big ambition: to beat the HP and its peers.

So what do we have here? Well, we have a well built, very attractive, solid hard working power supply. But it does come with a price tag to match. As mentioned earlier it's not as expensive as high-end power supplies used to be (although Enermax do produce a ~£100 unit, so I suppose this is their mid-range effort) but compared to other brands it is still an expensive choice. HiPer, Super Flower, Tagan and Antec all make similarly specced units at lower prices, but whether they are as polished (quality-wise, as well as the literal meaning) as this Enermax unit is something I cannot comment on.

Thermaltake has been coming up with unique products recently that not only perform their tasks, but are great looking as well. Today, I am going to review two of Thermaltake's products hands-on. The first is the controversial Active Memory Cooling Kit, and the other, their renowned Crystal Orb. The Thermaltake Active Memory Cooling Kit seems to be the most controversial item that Thermaltake has in their product line.
