Lian Li is known for well made products when it comes to stylish computer cases and functional chassis. They have been on the market for seven years now and Benchmark Reviews has been pleased to have the opportunity to review several of their items. This time we will be taking a look at the Lian Li PC-A09B Classical Series Mid-Tower Case to see if it stacks up to the others.

Fortunately, since the PC Enclosure market is roughly organized into three segments; entry/OEM level, mid-range and performance/enthusiast, all you need to do to begin your case search, is to figure out which segment of the market fits your systems needs and zero your search down to that particular segment. Someone looking to spend between $25.00-$75.00 on their future system's enclosure need not waste their time exploring the expensive performance/enthusiast segment of the market, and so forth. Well, if part of your criteria is that you are on a budget or a first time builder, then usually the place to start is at the entry and budget mid-range levels.

Once there, while parusing the current multitude of styles and designs, your eye would almost certainly be caught by the entry-to-mid-range NZXT offering: the ALPHA. The first time you see it, you'll think, "I bet that's what Darth Vader's desktop looks like." Today at Benchmark Reviews, we're going to find out if NZXT's latest in their Classic series line is just another....pretty face?

As an Enthusiast I have considered several Small Form Factor (SFF) cases to host my gaming system, and I can comfortably state that a large number of members of the gaming community consider SFF cases as well. But in my case, full or mid tower cases have always been my choice due to higher cooling potential because of better airflow which they have been known to offer. Benchmark Reviews has the new NZXT Rouge Crafted Series SFF gaming chassis in our hands, a chassis which focuses on key-points such as higher cooling potential, supporting larger power supplies, and most importantly hosting the highest-end of gaming cards with no size restrictions. Please join us as we explore NZXT's newest addition to Crafted Series of gamer cases.

The Ultra m998 is so named for the exalted m998 HMMWV (better known as the Humvee): a lightweight, high performance, four wheel drive, air transportable & droppable, land mobility system. For comparison: the Ultra's m998 is constructed mainly of lightweight aluminum and plastic parts, sports four optional castors (wheels), a removable motherboard tray, the ability to remove every panel, and also boasts a roomy interior. In concept at least the m998 sounds akin to its name sake's description. Benchmark Reviews however wants to see if Ultra's m998 Aluminum Mid-Tower ATX Case ULT40069 can live up to this legendary reputation, so we've taken this baby for a test drive.

Not too long ago, Benchmark Reviews featured a Guide: How to shop for your first HDTV in which we revealed that digital HDTV's would soon be a forced standard in slightly more than a year. We followed this up by using our own shopping advice to purchase the Sharp AQUOS LC-52D62U 52" 1080P HDTV, one of the best and most affordable HDTV's presently produced. But because Blu-Ray Disc and HD-DVD are still at battle with no end in sight, there is only place left to go: high definition broadcast. Benchmark Reviews sets out to build an HTPC with HDMI support, gaming-strength video, a digital HDTV tuner, and plenty of storage capacity; and we fit it all into the capable Thermaltake DH101 HTPC ATX Case VF7001BNS.

Lian Li has been at the very top of the computer chassis industry for the past seven years, and they have a tradition of releasing well designed products.
