When Alienvibes came out with their EP 02 headphones last year we were the first to get a hands-on look at them. They've since made some improvements and changes to the final design and have released the improved version of the EP 02. The changes and improvements include new packaging, new logos and improved electrical shielding in the ear cups. Let's take a look at the newly redesigned production version of the EP 02 headphones from Alienvibes.

We're back for another installment of our Featured Mod series. We've got a GREAT one this month. March 2013's Featured Mod goes to a modder by the name of Boddaker. Boddaker has domes some pretty slick mods in the past and he's back at it again going to town an a Cosmos II from Cooler Master. The Cosmos II has been a pretty popular modding platform lately due to it's sheer size and features. Let's check out Cosmos Cruizer a little closer now.

You may remember the name Alienvibes. They specialize in high-end audio gear for people who want amazing sound without the amazing price tag that typically comes with it. They were kind enough to send us a set of their EP02 headphones to review not too long ago and we were thoroughly impressed by them. Recently Alienvibes has been developing a range of speaker systems aimed at the discerning yet budget-conscious end-user. They were kind enough to send us their W402 speaker system to check out, so let's get to it!

Our good friends over at The Maker's Workbench have just posted the first part of their multi-part review series on the Lulzbot A0-100 3D printer! Go check it out and be sure to tell them we sent you!

The AiO (all-in-one) closed-loop CPU cooler scene has exploded the past few years. Gone are the days of needing to spend almost as much on a water cooling setup as your rig to get better-than-air CPU cooling performance. The main player in the AiO game, Asetek, have been manufacturing AiO units for most major OEM's for quite some time now. The latest is a collaboration with leading PC components company NZXT. This fusion or two greats has left us with the Kraken X40 and Kraken X60 AiO CPU coolers. These coolers are the first AiO units on the market to use 140mm fans rather than the long-standard 120mm. They retail for $99.99 and $136.99, respectively and carry a 2-year warranty. NZXT was kind enough to send us an X40 and an X60 to review for you guys, so lets check them out.

CPU coolers these days are a dime a dozen. You've got your tower coolers, downdraft coolers and low-profile coolers in the air department and also the ever-growing all-in-one (AIO) liquid coolers that are flooding the market these days. Enermax is no stranger to CPU coolers and in fact they've got their own lineup of heatpipe coolers on the market. Their side-flow cooler is the ETS-T40 model, available in three different variants. They were kind enough to send us one of their latest models, the ETS-T40-VD to check out, so let's get to it!

Fans are an essential part of computing these days. Long gone are the silent passively-cooled Pentiums of yester-year. Today's computers require lots of cooling, but with lots of cooling typically comes lots of noise. Tehre are exsceptions to this rule though, such as the Lepa LP70D12R fans we'll be taking a look at today. Can airflow and silence really coexist? Read on to find out.

AVR development boards are everywhere these days. Thanks to the Arduino we’ve seen a huge explosion in hobbyist electronics and the like. New companies have come out with “Arduino killers” or simply Arduino clones. Others have taken the Arduino’s footprint and created boards with other chips (Microchip ChipKIT’s for example) to make use of the extensive market for Arduino shields that are already available. Why reinvent the wheel right? Some companies however do something completely different. Enter Upgrade Industries and their Board-X AVR development platform. Let's take a closer look at the Board-X now.

Welcome to the December 2012 installment of our featured Mod series. This month's mod comes to us from someone who knows his way around the modding scene and puts insane amounts of attention to detail into all of his projects. This stunning amount of detail has also landed him in several magazines, the latest being his Iron Man mod in CPU. Vancouver Washington's Ron Lee Christianson just finished his Ducati mod and it doesn't spare on the details either. Let's take a look at it now.

Cases these days are a dime a dozen. Everyone's got super duper this or special that but for the most part they're all pretty similar. Once in a while though you get something truly new and unique, something that breaks the mold and offers new, exciting features. Enter NZXT and the new Phantom 820 full-tower case. It's big, it's stylish, it's packed with awesome features like a built-in fan four-channel controller and built-in HUE lighting system. It also comes from a long line of award-winning Crafted Series cases from NZXT, so you know it's going to be a quality case. Let's get right into this beast and see what it's got to offer...
