With the Akasa Integral LAN using NDAS and supporting both FAT32 and NTFS all the little niggles I had with the NAS disk were out the window. Akasa have vastly improved there products over the last 2 years and this is another great edition to their ever growing line up of excellent offerings.

Well what can I say, the Akasa Zen is probably one of the best ?budget? cases I have used, and I use that term loosely as in my eye?s it?s a budget case in price only retailing at approx £30-£40 ish. It has a lot of features you wouldn?t expect on a case in this price range, folded edges so no cuts were experienced, a built in stealth panel for the optical drive, a built in cpu vent and very solid construction, some budget cases feel like they are made out of tin foil, not the Akasa Zen.

It's easy to recommend the Freezer 7 Pro. It?s both the best
performance and cheapest cooler we tested. On top of that it?s
impressively quiet, only breaking above a whisper when the fan spins
up to maximum RPM. It didn?t manage to keep the case as cool as the
Auras 775, but the four-pin connector and three pounds in the pocket
steal the deal.

Over the last year I have seen some amazing coolers come our way from Akasa from the EVO33 and 120 to name 2 so when this turned up I didn't expect much due to its size and design. However, Akasa have thrown the rules out the window with this cooler in my eyes, its small does not look like it will do its job and on first glance would not have appealed to me due to its size. Nevertheless, they have done a great job as the cooler works well under clock as well as at normal CPU speeds. I would go as far as recommending this to those seeking a smaller low noise cooler as well, as at low speed via the included fan controller the noise coming from the fan is well silent. So what is it a silent cooler or a performance for clockers, well in my mind it fits both and I highly recommend it...

Oh the joys of crawling behind your computer trying to plug in your digital camera, USB memory key, camcorder or any of the multitudes of kit that connects to your PC. I hate it. I'm a big fan of front mounted case ports but for some reason these tend to be at floor level, which doesn't really make them any easier to use. This is where the AllInOne multifunction panel from Akasa comes in, as it offer a wide range of connectivity options all stuffed into a 5.25in drive bay...

Today we are looking at the new Akasa All in one 5.25 drive bay device, what's that you may ask? Well the All in one is a 5.25 bay fan controller, temp reader, flash card reader as well as having breakout connectors for the Composite video connection, sound, firewire and of course USB2. Not forgetting the Sata. With all these connectors in one 5.25 bay Akasa can justify the name All in one. Let us get on with the review and see what it can do...

This 550Watt peak power supply uses Active Power Factor Correction (Active PFC) to increase efficiency, resulting in less wasted power for a given workload. We've tested several Active PFC supplies from other companies and found that to a unit, they decrease wasted power considerably. It's good to see this feature reaching a broader audience. Dual-PCI Express video card power connectors are also featured, making this PSU certainly suitable for SLI (or Crossfire) systems...

The AK862 from Akasa is an all aluminium heatsink which costs around £10 ($15-20). It comes with speed controller, an Akasa Amber 92mm fan and good quality thermal compound preinstalled. Installation was as simple as is possible and the cooling results were quite amazing especialy when you think of the price. In its price range it is hard to beat...

Well the last cooler I looked at from Akasa (Evo 33) was excellent, but this exceeds it and then some. Now normally I would go on about what I think this can do for you and whether or not it would suit your needs. But I cant, in my eyes this is an enthusiasts cooler as well as those seeking silence, and normally the two worlds don't mix...there have been a few that have mixed it but none this good. To get the sort of temps you would expect from water cooling is just amazing and this cooler will take some beating. I highly recommend this for silence and performance, simply amazing...

With that, said lets get the package out and start the review...
