Virtual Hideout has been busy since their last review of the Tt LANBOX earlier this year. Now they've got their hands on the Tt LANBOX Lite, a fully modular system with removeable components to ease installation. "There are front panel mesh and side panel openings for increased airflow, and front and rear fans help with the air flow to keep all the components cool. Also, let's not forget to mention that Piano finish that I love so much." Find out what makes the Lite version special here.

For a gamer on a budget, the Cooler Master CM 690 is a breath of fresh air. Selling online at $70 or less, it comes packed with some great features.

If fans aren't your thing, you can swap them out for a water cooling setup, since holes are already provided. A wire routing system should help cables stay out of the way, and air to flow easily in the case." You know you want to read this one. Check it out here.
