Quick Look: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
This is our quick look review of the Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler. We show how to install this on an socket 1155 motherboard. After being limited in our overclocking potential on our Sandy Bridge Core i7 2600K, we have moved away from the stock Intel cooler in favor of the Evo.

This is our quick look and build video for the SilverStone Kublai series KL04 Mid Tower case. The stock CPU cooler was used specifically in order to accurately test the cooling potential of this case compared to others that were previously tested. Our goal was to build a fast gaming system using the updated Z68 chipset on a Micro-ATX motherboard. We were interested in a PC that was fast, but fit into a smaller chassis to make it more portable.
Parts Used:
Case — SilverStone KL04 — $109.99
CPU — Intel Core i7 2600K — $315
Motherboard — ASUS Maximus IV Gene-Z — $170
Memory — Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 8GB — $60
GPU — EVGA GTX 570 — $330
PSU — SilverStone ST75F-G 750W — $180
Hard Drive — Corsair Force 3 120GB SSD (CSSD-F120GB3-BK) — $190
DVD Drive — Samsung SH-S223 — $20
OS — Windows 7 Professional OEM — $140
Total: $1514.99
Quick Look: Synology DiskStation DS211j NAS

Here is our quick look video of the Synology DiskStation NAS unit. The DS211j is a two bay NAS that supports either 2.5″ or 3.5″ hard drives, but most users will opt for the standard 3.5″ drives for the extra capacity. The device is very small at 161mm(H) X 88mm(W) X 218 mm(D) and resembles a regular external hard drive enclosure. Under the hood, the DS211j has a 1.2GHz CPU, 128MB ram and can support up to 6TB of storage. The NAS we purchased did not come with any drives pre-installed, so we purchased two 500GB hard drives to start out. Even after picking up the hard drives, we still spent far less than a full server would have cost. The DS211j without drives will run about $199.99. We also have a full text review available that shows software installation.
