SilverStone surprised us all with this retro inspired computer case is quite amazing and extremely bold. The first thing you will notice is the unassuming beige that was common in the early PC era starting with the original IBM PCs and then carried forward for over twenty years. This case is built on the success of the FLP-01 and is proving to be even better.
It would seem that LCD is the new ARGB and Thermaltake is jumping in with booth feet to create the Minecube AIO. This quad screen LCD is used to decorate an otherwise simple AIO with LCDs that can be daisy chained together or operated independently.
at Computex 2025 ASUS announced the ROG Crosshair X870 Extreme following in a long tradition of offering the highest end motherboards to the best platforms which now include a full LCD screen.
Several memory makers were showing off multi module high-capacity builds and TeamGroup was one of the few to offer both ultra-fast modules and kits to support ultra-high capacities. This is one of the biggest challenges with modern system builds and TeamGroup seems to have figured it out.
During Computex 2025 MSI was showing a new MPower motherboard based on the B850 chipset and built with a Micro ATX form factor. The board features a single PCI Express Gen5 video card slot and two M.2 drive locations. To aid in memory overlocking the board is limited to only two memory slots and features a monster of a VRM to ensure accurate power delivery and hopefully break some records.
Thermaltake has been very bold in their marketing and appears to have focused squarely on the resurgence of casemodding.
This article will go over the modding process I used to create the Orange and Black stacker. Like before I used this old case to help promote Hardware Asylum and to introduce folks to what can be done with a computer case.
2015 was an important year for Hardware Asylum, albeit slow the site still had a lot to offer. As with anything there was some success along with a few failures and this is our outlook for the New Year.
Computex has been a yearly trek for me since 2003 and I have seen the show transform from something initially sales focused and market driven to a fashion show where flash and pizzazz win out in the end.
The Gigabyte suite contained a good number of high-end systems, casemods, show girls and overclocking. Given that most everything on display had already been released I didn’t pay too much attention expect to find the new Z170 motherboards and famed GTX 980 Ti.
The cases are also a bit more expensive due to the materials used and man hours required to ensure a good product.
