The kraken X40 breaks the current trend of closed-loop water coolers rocking 12cm fans by upping its fan size to 14cm fan, which NZXT promises delivers more heat dissipation and better cooling without subjecting users to deafening fan noise. It’s a lofty promise, but having tested it, we can tell you that this Kraken's bite lives up to its bark. |

Thermaltake Cases Are Suitable For Everyone’s Budget (Part 7) |

Thermaltake Cases Are Suitable For Everyone’s Budget (Part 6) |
The inside is pretty spacious compared to the products mentioned above because it’s a tower-shape computer case. It has hard drive slots with large enough space between each. There’s a space of up to 330 mm ensured for the expansion cards. There are 8 expansion slots at the back of the case, which is very important if you want to build a configuration with lots of GPUs besides 3 high-end graphics cards. |

The Best PC Deals Around – May 2013 (Part 2) |
One of the problems with powerful PCs is that they have a habit of sounding like a jet taking off. Nine different fans might give you unparalleled airflow, but it can also be very distracting if you’re trying to work. If that’s the case, you’ll want a silent PC. |

HP Envy 23 TouchSmart All-in-One |
The screen, like four other systems here, has a 23" diagonal and 1920 x 1080 native resolution. Its average Delta E of 3.3 means this is the best PC here for color accuracy, and images never look oversaturated or insipid. It's great for photo editing and other work tasks, but a couple of minor issues put this panel into second place, behind the Asus – there’s a little bit of backlight leakage along the bottom edge, and the measured brightness of 208cd/m2 is a little low. |

Sony VAIO Tap 20 - Sony's 20in Tablet Is An All-In-One PC |
Sony has even crammed in some component access behind the rubberized rear panel, but the Vaio isn't without its issues. The 5.1kg device isn't exactly an iPad on the scales, and the battery doesn't last too long: it ran out of juice after 2hrs 27mins in the light-use test we use for laptops. |

Toshiba All In One LX830 Computers |
Toshiba’s LX830 is the most affordable system in this test and, on arrival, we were prepared to go easy – after all, the reduced budget should mean this PC wouldn't be able to compete with pricier rivals. |

Acer Aspire 5600U 23" Touchscreen All-in-One PC |
The system used here comes from a third-party developer and, while Sony has previously experimented with basic gesture control, the Acer's system is far more extensive. Waving an open palm around the screen moves the cursor; pinching two fingers together represents a click; and waving inwards from the right, left and top edges opens up Windows 8's Charms, previous apps and taskbar menus. |

Asus ET2300 23" All-in-One Touch Desktop PC |
That makes the Asus, along with the Sony, this month's most versatile machine that can be used at a desk when standing up, and at every position in between. The extremely flexible stand comes with great design and build quality: the 11.6kg system is well anchored to the desk, there's no hint of give when pulling the screen to and fro, and the base is made from attractive brushed aluminum. |
