The Benefits Of Google Apps
If you own a business, then there is a chance that you will be looking for a way in which you can share your files so that people can work remotely. This type of working is becoming more and more popular in the modern world, with companies realizing that they don't really have any need to pay to run an office when their employees could do exactly the same work from the comfort of their own home. This would save money for the company, and would also mean that the employee could cut down on the amount of time that they spent travelling to and from the office, as well as removing travel expenses. Here, we will explore more about just some of the benefits of Google Apps.

Case Mod Friday: Smokey Green Giant
Welcome to another Case Mod Friday showcase! This week we have Derrick Ubbink’s Smokey Green Giant build. Here is what he had to say about it: The inspiration for this build comes from the frustration of dealing with small cases while water cooling. I set out to find a case that was simply huge and didn't have terrible outer aesthetics. I found the Fulmo GT met these requirements so quickly ordered one and set to work gutting it and making it to my liking. In the end I went with a dual loop water cooled setup, one for CPU the other GPU, each cooled by a single 420mm Alphacool radiator. And what started out as a TRI-SLI 3GB GTX 580 rig quickly became QUAD-SLI 580s and finally I went for a pair of GTX Titans. I'm super happy with the results and will just be enjoying it for awhile!

Noctua Fans Review
So you’re putting together your all out custom build. You’ve got the best processor, motherboard, memory, GPU, and case you can buy. Now is the time you’re going to have to start thinking about fans and cooling. Whether it be air or water, you will need fans. This is often forgotten till the end, and this item is crucial to bringing all those bits together and helping them to perform to their fullest. While there are many options when it comes to choosing fans, it is very important to be selective in order to get the right fan for your configuration as well as a good quality fan. Today we are going to be taking a look at a broad selection of 9 fans from one of the most lauded fan manufacturers, Noctua.

What You Need To Know about the Xbox One
Microsoft’s Xbox Reveal event was held today at Microsoft’s Redmond campus. If you missed it we have all of the information on the next generation Xbox console. After months of speculation the official name of the console will be Xbox One. The Xbox One is made to be an “all-in-one” box that interacts with all the devices in your home theater. Microsoft’s Don Mattrick said the core strategy is “simple, instant and complete.” The Xbox One will be available “later this year” and will ship with a new Kinect motion camera and controller. Read on as we go over some of the new features.

Rosewill T600N Wireless Router Review
In this modern area of wireless networking, the market is flooded with devices with advanced feature sets, sometimes not performing as well as others. This trade-off can be frustrating. Sometimes, the basic features are all one really needs in a WiFi router, and the Rosewill T600N fills that gap. It’s an 802.11a/b/g/n router that can do 300 Mbps per frequency and even features standard replaceable antennas for its 2.4 GHz radio. ThinkComputers takes a look at this sub $60 unit that frequently can be found online for under $50!

SilverStone DS322 Dual Bay USB 3.0 Enclosure Review
Sometimes it can be hard to find an easy, affordable and reliable solution for external PC backups in one product. I have used several HDD enclosures and NAS products from several different makers and never really fell in love with any of them. Most of them have extremely complicated menus that you have to sift through to try and figure out how to change the RAID setup of the device. Then you have to wait several hours just for it to format a few hundred Gigs of space. In the past, when deciding on a RAID capable enclosure you really need to prioritize what is important to you and ask yourself a few questions. How much does it cost? How reliable it is? How easy is it to use? Keep all of those questions in mind as you read this review and I think you will be pleasantly surprised with this enclosure.

What To Expect From The Next iPhone
If Apple follows their typical release schedule, the new iPhone will be available sometime this summer, and the rumors are already flying about what that's going to contain. With rival phones from Android stepping up their game, will Apple feel the pressure to do something completely new and spectacular? Maybe it'll be like the 4S, which made small improvements to the iPhone 4 but didn't break out of the mold too much. Nobody really knows, as Apple hasn't provided us with any official information yet, but there are some of the speculated changes.

Thermaltake Level 10 GT Case Review

Final Thoughts
So does the Level 10 GT live up to the original Level 10?  Well in some ways it does, the design is very reminiscent of the Level 10, but obviously is not the same.  The Level 10 GT’s styling is still very unique and you are not going to find another case out there that looks even close to the Level 10 GT.


The case is loaded with features, probably the most impressive is the 5 hot-swappable hard drive bays.  These 5 bays can fit both 3.5-inch and 2.5-inch drives and all of the bays can be locked.  Besides that you have USB 3.0 connectivity, headset hanger, wire management features, 4 cooling fans, a hinged side panel door and tool-less solutions.  You may find a few of these features on other cases, but not all of them.

Installation was very easy and I encountered no issues at all.  Now the installation may take you a little bit longer than other cases, but that really is not a big issue to me.  All of the wire management holes make routing your cables easy and makes for a clean final product, which also helps out with airflow.  Talking about airflow the three 200mm fans and single 140mm fan do a great job keeping things cool inside this case.  The three 200mm fans are LED fans and the LEDs can be adjusted from 3 different colors and 2 special modes, they can also be turned completely off.  Also there is a button to turn the fans from high speed to low speed, this is great if you have your system in your bedroom.

There really is not much I did not like about this case.  I did notice it was quite heave once everything was installed, but the handle did make it easier to carry.  Also it would have been nice if the hot-swappable bays were tool-less at least for 3.5-inch drives.

Right now the Level 10 GT sells for $269 at my favorite online retailer, which obviously is a huge step down from the $800 price tag of the original Level 10.  I think that if you have $250-$300 to spend on a new case the Level 10 GT should be on your list.  Overall ThinkComputers gives the Level 10 GT a 9 out of 10 score and our Recommended Award.

Pros:
- Very unique design
- USB 3.0
- Hinged door
- 4 fans, 3 of which are LED fans
- 5 hot-swappable bays
- Wire management features
- A lot of room inside

Cons:
- Hot-swappable trays are not tool-less
- Case is quite heavy once a system is installed
