Hands down, this is the perfect LAN rig. With its awesome and sturdy handle, and masses of room for a full size GPU, this is my choice for a movable/mobile gaming machine (if I'm not using one of MSI's GS60s…). Want it? (UK) (USA) I guess I'll start with...

This is a gaming box, and hence comes in black and red, because there's no other gaming colours ever, even if once upon a time you might have heard there were. This gamingness is gamified further by putting red LEDs under the front of the box, and we have...

The days of hot, loud, small form factor PCs with limited support for high-end gaming kit are over - in common with many small form factor units on the market today, the Nightblade comfortably houses most of the high-end gaming CPUs and graphics cards on...
The days of compromised small form factor gaming are over. The Nightblade chassis may be double the width of the PlayStation 4 in a vertical position, but it should fit comfortably - and discreetly - to the side of most living room HDTVs. In terms of nois...

They already make parts for gaming computers, produce gaming laptops, and they have already started to produce all in one computers in the MSI factories. A true gaming PC was not yet on the product list, untill the MSI Nightblade was introduced. A prope...

About seven months ago, MSI loaned us what was easily one of their most exciting and new products then for a review. It was the GAMING Nightblade barebones system that was designed to provide gamers with an easy solution when it comes to building a portab...

All in all, the refreshed MSI GAMING Nightblade Z97 is just as attractive as the previous version plus it is also much cheaper compared to the Z87 variant. However, the lower price does come with a compromise, namely the CPU heatsink. But with what it of...

Seems a fair few of you are considering a transition to the mini-ITX form factor for your next PC build, but such a move is likely to require a much smaller chassis, so which do you choose? We're starting to see a wide array of options from some of the in...

There's no doubt that PC gaming is being downsized from giant towers to smaller, table-top solutions that are better-suited to a wider audience of gamers. Keeping enthusiasts in mind, MSI has made moves to ensure that this transition needn't mean a sacri...

Dark Knight The Nightblade comes in one colour only – black. MSI has kept the design simple with no odd or flashy protrusions on the unit. The leg in front can double as a handle, though you wouldn't be swinging your precious cargo about. There are air ve...
Review: MSI NightbladeNot content with just gaming notebooks, MSI is infiltrating the desktop market with a small offering. Make no mistake; small it may be, but it can pack quite a wallop, depending on what you put in. Following MSI's recent naming conve...

Mini-ITX motherboards have been available for years; however, they weren't usually the board of choice for system builders, looking to build an enthusiast grade desktop PC. In recent years, it appears these small in stature boards are undergoing a renaiss...
We find the MSI Nightblade suitable for a casual system builder who doesn't want to make the nitty-gritty decisions of choosing the mini-ITX chassis and the motherboard for a SFF gaming PC. In fact, one doesn't even need to pick the PSU and ODD too. These...

Every time I cover something Mini-ITX I talk about how great it is that we can build these monster PCs in such a small form factor. Even so, considering how sensitive they are to heat and bad wire management it's not for everyone. If you don't know about...
What really sets the Nightblade apart from any other barebones on the market is the fact that this is built specially to be a LAN rig. MSI made it easy to carry with a built in handle and with its large PSU and room in the video card area you can run ex...

Today, we have a very special product for review from MSI (Micro Star International) which is aimed towards the gaming community. The PC form factor is constantly evolving, from what once used to be towered desktops have now evolved into small form factor...
Before I start this part, I would like to tell the reason for not posting the CPU benchmarks. The two processors I used included the Core i7-4790K and Pentium G3258. I have already performed testing and overclocking of the Core i7-4790K in a separate revi...

Like high precision flying maneuvers, computer components need to be designed in a way that everything works well together. Having a system where things don't mesh can cause computer crashes and things that just don't run well. Granted, this is a lot less...

The popularity of iTX systems has exploded in recent times thanks to some truly excellent motherboards capable of underpinning even the most demanding rig. For many years the smaller form factor was largely only good as a media server, but recent advan...
