Overall we've been far from impressed with the Infiniti ZOR throughout our time with the case. While there isn't too much wrong externally as long as the simple styling suits your tastes, the internals are a catalogue of compromises. The removable motherboard that isn't, the woeful lack of cable routing, plenty of sharp edges and fan cables that just aren't long enough are all frustrating problems. And while we really like the extremely flexible drive bay mounting and front panel along with the wealth of space inside, the flaws still rankle.

At £115 this is an incredible price for a 1,000W PSU, but we have to admit that originally alarm bells started ringing whether this was one of those "1,000W too good to be true" bargains. However, having tested it we know that it has stable voltages and good efficiency, even to 100 percent load. Akasa throws in a three year warranty too which matches the likes of Nanopoint (Tagan, Seasonic etc) and Enermax, but it's lower than many others five year warranties like Cooler Master, Antec for example. The saving grace on this front is that Akasa has a UK RMA base should you need it.

The Akasa Omega has been a pleasure to work with from start to finish, and I feel it is without a shadow of a doubt, the single easiest case to build a system into currently available. The brilliant motherboard tray design makes such a huge difference when building your system, and for those who frequently tinker inside their machines it's of enormous advantage. The build quality throughout the Omega is equally excellent, and is a breath of fresh air after so many recent cases we've reviewed have struggled to just get panels to line up properly.

Akasa has taken the Mirage-62 case and has updated it using thick aluminum panels, adding air vents which also can be used for water cooling units and a stylish new front door. The mid-tower case features loads of space and some clever design choices to make it big enough for even the largest power supplies and longest graphics cards.

Akasa have been in operation for a number of years now and are a well known name throughout the industry. They are best known for their cooling solutions and power supply units which are primarily aimed to performance oriented enthusiast users. Modern GPU chips have ever growing cooling needs, especially under overclocked conditions. Reference coolers aren't always able to keep up with the heat dissipation demands of these chips and the user may be able to get a lot more out of their card with the purchase of a more sophisticated cooling solution. Today we're going to look at the Akasa Vortexx Neo, which claims to combine high thermal performance with low noise levels.

Today we will take a look at the latest and most powerful Akasa unit, the PowerXtreme 1200W. With a power output and specifications clearly aimed at the most hardcore of enthusiasts, it is trying to deliver maximum performance and quality while combining good aesthetics and a competitive price tag. We will give it a good workout to judge its merits.

If you have been reading XtremeComputing for a while, you will know that we have already reviewed an AK965 cooler from Akasa, and found it to be very good performance for the money. So what is different about this AK965? Well the last version of the cooler was intended for the OEM/system builder market, and because of demand for the AK965 Akasa has released a slightly updated version (blue leds and fan) straight to retail. This should mean that it will be available to buy in even more places.

Due to the similarities between this and the Eclipse-62, the Mirage was always going to be compared to its sibling, the Eclipse. However, when you look at the case on its own, you realise just what a good piece of kit it really is. Probably the best removable motherboard tray I've ever used, combined with rock solid build quality from the light and durable aluminium frame make a great base for a system build, and while the look of the case could be seen as a little boring, there's plenty of room for customisation.

Akasa's AK-TT12-80 double sided Thermal Adhesive Tape comes in a small 80mm x 80mm square, about 0.3mm thick, from which you cut out a small square the appropriate size for your application. The thermal interface material has a thermal conductivity of 0.9 W/mK, and is double-sided to ensure bonding with the IC and heatsink. Peel adhesion is rated at 1200g/inch2 - or 1.2kg per square inch.
