Unless you subscribe to the theory of a second ice age, you’ll know that humans are slowly warming our planet up due to CO2 output. While computers – probably – play a small part in this global change, there is still an impact. Step in 8...
With the Akasa coming in at £10 more expensive than the Antec, you can see where the money was spent. A little better paint job, a larger fan and sleeved cables. The Antec feels and looks like a cut down model. That said, who stares at the power suppl...

I found that Antec\'s EarthWatts 500w power supply was a hidden gem. It has the appearance of a standard basic power supply, but its performance was very good. The EarthWatts doesn\'t have standout looks or special features, but it does was it was designed to do...
