Have you found yourself wanting one of Alienware's sick gaming laptops but just can't justify the cost? Well Dell hears you and they have a compromise that just might be the ticket for you. Not wanting to taint the quality standard that they have established with Alienware but wanting to provide a more affordable option for mobile gamers, Dell has used the Inspiron line and created the Ispiron 15 Gaming.

It will be much like how "Sky Diver" was a less intensive test to "Fire Strike".

One of the best parts of PC building is the seemingly limitless number of choices available when it comes to hardware. But sometimes this can be a bad thing and you are simply overwhelmed with options and choosing what part is best for you can be tough. Take cases for instance, there is literally a sea of computer chassis’ on the market and picking which one suits your needs and desires can be a daunting task. Luckily we here at ThinkComputers have your back and today we are taking a look at NZXT’s latest mid tower chassis, the S340 Elite. This mid tower comes equipped with a full Tempered Glass side panel and several features that should make it very friendly to VR. Follow along as we find out if the S340 Elite stands out of the crowd or if it should be thrown back with the other fish.
