[i am uk based so will be talking about uk products]

a cage or enclosure for your hamster is by far the most important choice you’re going to make for your new pet and also the place where a large amount of people go very wrong!

| S I Z E |

the bigger the better! if you have the space and money, please go for the largest size cage you can for your hamster.

the absolute minimum cage size i would recommend for all hamster species is 650 square inches, but please aim for bigger!

my syrian lives in a detolf, coming in at approximately 950 square inches, and having kept a syrian in that size cage, could not imagine keeping one anywhere smaller. and so around 1000 square inches is definitely my personal minimum.

| I M P O R T A N T F E A T U R E S |

as big a floorspace as possible. height, levels and external tubes are NOT a replacement for continuous floorspace.

hamsters are not climbing animals and excessive height and levels are actually dangerous. when adding platforms to a cage you should always ensure the height is not excessive and there are other items to reduce the height of the drop.

cages with tubes are useless at best and dangerous at worst. the tubes are too small for syrians and bend at extreme angles causing damage to hamsters’ spines. the ventilation is also very poor in them and hamsters often choose to nest in them meaning food, pee and breathing hamster all stuck in a very small plastic non-breathable tube.

a cage should always provide a big enough base or enough height to add an appropriate amount of bedding aka at least 15cm. a barred cage with too shallow a tray or a tank style cage without enough height for 15cm of bedding plus a 30cm wheel (for example) are not suitable.

safe and well ventilated. bars should be narrowly spaced, lids and openings should be secure, there should be enough ventilation in tank style or diy cages

| B A R R E D C A G E S |

a limited number of appropriately sized barred cages do exist to buy in the uk, with a few even available in chain pet shops e.g. the savic plaza hamster and rat cage (not suitable for rats though), available at pets at home (50cm x 100cm x 50cm). there are also quite a few available to order online on zooplus.

positives

good access to your hamster, with large front opening doors particularly useful

easy to attach and use hanging toys

well ventilated

negatives

limits on bedding depth (the cages i recommend still allow for approx 16/17cm)

from what i read, it seems appropriate sized barred cages are a rarity in the usa, especially without modification, so this is definitely european focused and most the decent sized barred cages i see are available on zooplus.

| T A N K S T Y L E C A G E S |

fish tanks are a straightforward option but can be very expensive in the uk when bought new in an appropriate size. they can be found much cheaper secondhand on sites like preloved and ebay, especially if they have a problem holding water which wouldn’t be a problem for us.

companies such as junglepets do sell tanks specially designed for small animals, they also provide a customisation service and will make tanks to your own preferred dimensions

some tank style cages are also sold as hamster cages by pet suppliers such as zooplus

the ikea detolf is also a popular tank style option and the cage i myself currently use so i am happy to answer any questions about using it. it does require some diy to make it useable for hamsters and it has some limitations but is the cheapest way of getting such a large cage.

positives

allow you to provide very deep bedding providing enough room for even syrians to burrow

more aesthetically pleasing and give a great view of your hamster, especially burrowing. buried tunnels and chambers can also be fun to experiment with.

very easy to change layout and an infinite amount of options on how to use the space

glass is more escape proof if you have a houdini especially a hamster who chews plastic trays of barred cages

negatives

more difficult to attach water bottles/platforms/hanging toys

only have access to your hamster from above which can make taming more difficult so i recommend the hamster is moved to a more accessible area for taming

less well ventilated than a barred cage, ideally the lid should be almost entirely mesh to allow maximum ventilation

can be heavy and difficult to move

| D I Y C A G E S |

bin cages made from modified storage boxes are the most commonly found diy cage and have become a popular option for people trying to cheaply upgrade an inappropriate cage. a bin of a good size and depth, especially for a syrian, is very hard to find in the uk and the ones that are are much more expensive than you would think. while they still can be a good option, especially in countries with limited options, i personally think there are better and easier options in the uk

there is obviously an infinite amount of possibilities for diy cages! if you are very handy or have a handy friend or relative who would like to help you, a made from scratch diy cage could be the best possible option! it can be made as big as you like and have all the features you want! be sure to check what materials (e.g. wood or glue) is safe for use with hamsters

| C A G E C H E C K L I S T |

✔ meets minimum size requirements (using internal measurements) ✔ if barred, bar spacing of < 1 cm for syrians ranging to < 8mm for robos ✔ has enough depth to add a suitable amount of substrate (15cm) ✔ has enough height for a suitable wheel ✔ allows sufficient ventilation ✔ if not provided with the cage, a lid that prevents escape

| U N S U I T A B L E C A G E S |

| S U I T A B L E O P T I O N S |

(i have tried to provide internal dimensions where possible)

detolf (roughly 950 sq inches / 6080 sq cms) ⇨ what i currently use so will answer any questions i can! :) ⇨ a really good size, especially for dwarves! ⇨ relatively inexpensive option (currently £60) ⇨ have to make a lid ⇨ limited height (about 35cms), only just fits a 30cm wheel with no substrate underneath so you have to plan the space carefully ⇨ available from ikea

living world eco habitat ⇨ available in medium (890 sq inches / 5760 sq cms) and large (1440 sq inches / 9300 sq cms) ⇨ quite expensive (£140-£200) ⇨ great sizes, especially the large. the large is the only cage ive seen that i would personally consider upgrading to. ⇨ ready prepared cage thats quick and easy to assemble but some modifications might be needed such as meshing the ventilation holes in the lid ⇨ easy to transport with wheels on the base ⇨ mainly made of wood including the base, may be a problem with chewers or with liquid reaching the base. they sell liners especially designed for use with the cage but other options could be used. with enough bedding and toys syrians will likely be able to reach the lid and could chew that also. airholes in the sides of the cage may also be a problem with chewers. ⇨ available from zooplus (uk)

barney (779 sq inches / 5050 sq cms) ⇨ not too expensive (£60-£70) ⇨ narrow 7mm bar spacing, good for dwarves ⇨ 16cm tray ⇨ some decent wooden accessories included ⇨ available from zooplus (uk)

alexander (820 sq inches / 5250 sq cms) ⇨ similar to barney but bit more expensive (around £80) ⇨ 17cm tray ⇨ a lot of wooden accessories and platforms included, including three houses of suitable sizes for a syrian ⇨ available from zooplus (uk)

savic plaza (780 sq inches / 5000 sq cm) ⇨ the only good option ive found available from a large chain pet shop in the uk ⇨ medium price range (£75) ⇨ comes with accessories but unfortunately most are unsuitable (the wheel and house are both too small, the platform and ramp are both not of great quality and would be best replaced) ⇨ 16cm tall base so allows an okay depth of bedding if completely filled ⇨ large front opening door so great access to your hamster ⇨ available from pets at home (uk)

plus large fishtanks and diy cages!

(this post obviously doesnt cover all suitable cages i just covered a selection of a few im most familiar with! and of course always do your own research from various sources (e.g. forums, youtube, tumblr) and gather opinions before reaching a decision for yourself!)

11 Best Cat Litter Box Furniture Enclosures (2018)

Depending on the setup of your home, the great challenge with having cats may not be the maintenance of the litter box, but rather trying to disguise it. If you don’t have a basement or spare closet in which to hide it, guests will sooner or later have to confront the box your cat uses as a bathroom.

Switching to a covered cat box can be helpful. They usually do an okay job of containing the odors and the mess itself is hidden from view. Unfortunately, they come with the unpleasant side effect of being larger, so they stand out in a room more.

To really successfully hide a cat box, you’ll want to consider furniture built especially for the purpose. Typically taking the form of an end table or bench and made of dark stained wood, they’re a marked upgrade from a cheap plastic tray on your floor. These days, the options are varied enough that most people will be able to find something that fits the decor of their home.

Naturally, once you’ve chosen a litter box, you’ll need the litter to go in it. Our guide to the top ten best cat litter brands is here.

For any of these, since they’re meant to coexist in your living areas, you might want a small deodorizer to go inside them to further help hold down bad smells. The newly-released VentiFresh fits this description nicely and could be worth your consideration.

If you have a cat and you’re sick of looking at an ugly litter box, consider our list of the top ten best cat box furniture enclosures.

1. Trixie Pet Products Wooden Cat Home & Litter Box

(Trixie Pet Products)

Available in brown or white, this simple but elegant option stands 20 inches tall. That’s tall enough for an end table or a nightstand, but won’t overwhelm your room. The opening for the cat is eight and a half inches, while the door opens a whole side of the house to make cleaning easy. It doesn’t come with a litter box, and you’ll have to choose somewhat carefully when buying one to go inside.

Boxes with tall sides will obscure the opening, while boxes that flare at the top may mean the door doesn’t close easily. The large size of this Petmate litter pan should fit, with measurements of 18 inches by 15 inches by 5 inches. Overall dimensions of the enclosure are 19.25 inches by 20 inches by 20 inches.

Price: $57.99 (20 percent off MSRP)

Buy the Trixie Pet Products Wooden Cat Home & Litter Box here.

Pros:

Indoor or outdoor use

Use as a bed or a litter box

Ventilated back panel

Easy to assemble

Cons:

Litter box not included

High sided cat boxes will partially block opening

Some litter boxes may make it difficult to close the door

No liner to protect wood from misses

Find more Trixie Pet Products Wooden Cat Home & Litter Box information and reviews here.

2. Merry Products Cat Washroom Bench

(Merry Products)

Similar to the Trixie option, this Merry Products enclosure is larger, forming a bench like you might put in a hallway. The extra room means you can put any litter box you want in it, including a self cleaning litter box. If you prefer to use a standard size box, you can install the optional partition inside, giving you a place to keep litter and the scoop.

Again, this one is made of pressboard, so you’ll want to consider waterproofing the inside if your cats are prone to missing the box. Contact paper should do the trick and won’t increase the price very much, which is already at the higher end. The walnut stained color is the more expensive of the two, with the white option going for $159.99 at the time of this writing. Dimensions are 37.5 inches wide by 22.5 inches tall by 21.2 inches deep.

If you like the style of the Merry piece, but don’t want the larger box, they also make a smaller option, which is $100 less and comes in white, espresso, and walnut.

Price: $190.26

Buy the Merry Products Cat Washroom Bench here.

Pros:

Large enough for any size litter box, including self cleaning units

Removable partition for litter and scoop storage

Wide opening side doors for easy cleanup

Easy to assemble

Cons:

Litter box not included

No liner to protect wood from misses

Hardware not the best

Pricey

Find more Merry Products Cat Washroom Bench information and reviews here.

3. The Refined Feline Refined Litter Box

(The Refined Feline)

Taking the above concept a step further, The Refined Feline have waterproofed the inside of this bench-style enclosure for you. It’s still big enough for self cleaning boxes, and includes a storage drawer at the top for accessories. You can construct it so that the door faces the right or left, depending on where in your home it will go.

Reviewers note that it’s somewhat difficult to put together, owing to the relatively cheap hardware. Once it’s set up, though, most people don’t realize what it is. To ensure they don’t, pick up some of these Catit Carbon Filters to slide over the vent holes at the back to keep odors at bay.

Colors include this mahogany veneer, poplar veneer, and espresso. The external litter catch is sold separately, and it appears that only the one that matches the espresso finish is available at this time. External dimensions are 33.5 inches wide by 28.5 inches tall by 23 inches deep; internal dimensions are 31.5 inches by 20.5 inches by 20 inches.

Price: $219.33 (12 percent off MSRP)

Buy the The Refined Feline Refined Litter Box here.

Pros:

Internal plastic liner to protect against misses

Large enough for any size litter box, including self cleaning units

Reversible construction for choice of entry side

Storage drawer

Cons:

Pricey

Litter box not included

Carbon filter not included

Outside litter catcher not included

Find more The Refined Feline Refined Litter Box information and reviews here.

4. Modern Cat Designs Litter Box Hider

(Modern Cat Designs)

For those who prefer the IKEA aesthetic, this might be the one for you. Clad in chrome and white, this modern-looking piece is finished in a spill-proof veneer, removing the need for liners. It’s large enough for just about any litter box and attractive enough for any room in your house.

The side doors open completely to make scooping and changes easy, though you’ll have to find somewhere else to put the scoop when you’re done. This one also comes in brown, if you prefer.

Smaller sizes in both brown and white are also available. Dimensions on the large unit are 27.8 inches tall by 39 inches wide by 21 inches deep.

Price: $599.95

Buy the Modern Cat Designs Litter Box Hider here.

Pros:

Spill resistant finish

Ultra modern design

Large enough for any size litter box, including self cleaning units

Open top shelf

Cons:

Very pricey

Litter box not included

No separate hidden storage for scoop or liter

Find more Modern Cat Designs Litter Box Hider information and reviews here.

5. Good Pet Stuff Hidden Litter Litter Box

(Good Pet Stuff)

For something a little different than the standard box-like configurations, consider this neat fake terra cotta planter. Excellent for corners or behind other furniture, this will pretty convincingly disguise your litter box. The ventilation is filtered and will keep the odors to a minimum.

While you can’t use your own litter box (including self cleaning boxes), the very base of this one is the litter box, so you don’t have to buy or maintain anything extra. This might not be a good choice for you if fake plants aren’t your thing, but if you like a little greenery in your home, this is an excellent option.

Dimensions are 19 inches in diameter by 20 inches tall without the plant. With the plant, it’s 42 inches tall.

Price: $70

Buy the Good Pet Stuff Hidden Litter Litter Box here.

Pros:

Planter style makes it good for corners of the room

Filtered ventilation system

Made of polypropylene so spills are no problem

Bottom is a large-capacity, built-in litter box

Cons:

Can’t be used with self cleaning litter boxes nor conventional liners

Might be tricky to clip top and bottom together

Fake plants a polarizing design choice

Some cats might make a sport of destroying the plant and fake soil

Find more Good Pet Stuff Hidden Litter Litter Box information and reviews here.

6. Petsfit Espresso Double-Decker Pet House Litter Box Enclosure Night Stand

(Petsfit)

This novel approach stacks two single-width units on top of each other to create another layer of separation between the litter box and the rest of the room. The entrance at the top leads to a small shelf with a hole in the floor, allowing for top entry into the litter box compartment. This makes for an overall height of 35 inches, which is perfect for a nightstand.

This night stand is 23 inches deep by 21 inches wide, with a litter box area measuring 22 inches by 19 inches by 13 inches tall. That means a high-sided box like this Pureness Giant High Sides Pan will fit nicely.

You’ll probably want to waterproof the bottom part somehow, just to be safe. While the worst part of this unit by far is the paw print vent holes that give away what it’s for, this still makes for a fine option. Colors include white and espresso.

Like others on this list, a single-height option is also available. This one notably lacks the paw prints and would make a great end table.

Price: $169 (50 percent off MSRP)

Buy the Petsfit Espresso Double-Decker Pet House Litter Box Enclosure Night Stand here.

Pros:

Two tier system further controls litter tracking

Door latches shut

Internal top entry means you can use high-sided litter boxes

Shelf for scoop storage

Cons:

Paw print vent holes give away the facade

Litter box not included

Very large and self cleaning litter boxes unlikely to fit

No waterproof cover

Find more Petsfit Espresso Double-Decker Pet House Litter Box Enclosure Night Stand information and reviews here.

7. Philociety Litter Box Cabinet

Philociety

This model features a stout build with thick walls, all tied together with a minimalist aesthetic. This is the newer version, which features a white door that opens fully for easy access. While there’s no place to keep the scoop and litter on this one, it’s still a very handsome piece that will easily hide your cat box.

The exterior dimensions are 22.3 inches long by 18 inches wide by 18 inches high; interior dimensions are 20.7 inches long by 16.4 inches wide by 16.4 inches tall. For $119.99, you can opt for the larger version, which has dual doors and increases the interior dimensions to 28.3 inches long, 22 inches high and 22 inches wide.

Again, the large Petmate Litter Pan should do the job here.

Price: $69.99

Buy the Philociety Litter Box Cabinet here.

Pros:

Modern look

Pre-constructed

Thick panels for the sides and top

Odor and moisture resistant finish

Cons:

Somewhat on the small side

Initial finish odor on unpacking (dissipates within days)

No storage capacity

Litter box not included

Find more Philociety Litter Box Cabinet information and reviews here.

8. Mr. Herzher’s Wicker Cat Litter Pan Cover

(Mr. Herzher’s)

For a very different looking option, consider this wicker-clad cover. The wicker makes it odor and moisture resistant, as well as easy to clean with soap and water. The litter box, which must be on the smaller side, sits on rails inside, so you can easily pull it out for cleaning. It sits on non-slip feet that won’t damage flooring.

Reviews appear to be mixed about how easy assembly is, though most note that it’s a five minute procedure. The large size measure 16.25 inches wide by 19.75 inches long by 18.5 inches tall, which fits an 18 inch by 15 inch pan, preferably something around four inches tall. There’s a jumbo size, as well, which fits litter pans 17 inches by 22 inches.

Price: $81.41 (6 percent off MSRP)

Buy the Mr. Herzher’s Wicker Cat Litter Pan Cover here.

Pros:

Litter box sits on rails that glide out for cleaning

Wicker is odor and moisture resistant

Easy to assemble

Litter catch tray

Cons:

Litter box not included

Doesn’t mask odors as well as solid-sided units

Must use a relatively shallow pan

Latch can be difficult to close

Find more Mr. Herzher’s Wicker Cat Litter Pan Cover information and reviews here.

9. New Age Pet ecoFlex Litter Loo

(New Age Pet)

If you want to be absolutely sure the enclosure you choose will resist odors and moisture, turning to new materials can make a difference. This unit is made of ecoFLEX, which is a combination of recycled wood byproducts and polymers that creates will far outlast anything made of pressboard. There’s also the added advatage of using recycled materials, if that’s important to you.

This is a fairly standard end table with space inside for a 20 inch by 17 inch litter pan. The overall dimensions are 23.6 inches long by 18.5 inches wide by 22 inches high for the standard size, while the jumbo size measures 30 inches long by 24 inches wide by 28.9 inches high. The jumbo holds a litter box measuring 22 inches by 28 inches, and would be better for multiple cats. Colors for this include Espresso, Antique White, and Russet.

Price: $91.50 (10 percent off MSRP)

Buy the New Age Pet ecoFlex Litter Loo here.

Pros:

ecoFLEX material repels moisture and odor

Easy assembly

Fold out gate for easy cleaning

Cons:

Litter box not included

Matte finish may scuff

Material is somewhat brittle

Find more New Age Pet ecoFlex Litter Loo information and reviews here.

10. Designer Catbox Litter Box Enclosure

Designer Catbox

In researching for this list, we found that a common complaint about some of the other bench-style litter box enclosures was that they didn’t open from the top. Having the opening in the top is more convenient for some people and may mean that you can fit litter boxes that might not have fit through the doors of other units.

More than that, though, this offers you a couple of setup options when you’re constructing it. Firstly, the opening can be put on either side, depending where you want it to sit. You have the option of installing an internal divider so that the box can be separate from a scoop and the litter container.

If you opt to install the divider, you can use a litter pan that measures 18.5 by 15.25 by 5.25 inches (or 9.8 inches tall if you opt for a high-back pan). If you don’t install the divider, the interior dimensions are 26.4 long by 18.5 wide by 14.2 high, so you can choose any pan that fits within those measures.

Otherwise, this is a standard large piece, with nicely finished feet, available in white, black, or espresso. This isn’t waterproof, so take additional precaution with the inside as necessary, though the finish should stand up to a bit of abuse.

Price: $114.95 to $134.95

Buy the Designer Catbox Litter Box Enclosure here.

Pros:

Top opening enclosure

Nice finish accents

Large enough for various sizes of litter box

Construction options including interior divider and your choice of side opening

Cons:

Litter box not included

Can’t be flush against the wall and open at the same time

Find more Designer Catbox Litter Box Enclosure information and reviews here.

11. Mable Ruth Ottoman Pet House Hidden Litter Box Enclosure

Mable Ruth

For another top-opening option, consider this simple ottoman enclosure. No fancy bells and whistles here, just a lightweight ottoman that can support up to 175 pounds. This is good for both your comfort, if you choose, or makes a good pet bed.

The faux leather is easily wiped clean and the entire structure can be folded up when not in use. The overall dimensions are 24 inches long by 19.5 inches wide by 16 inches tall, which should accommodate a very wide variety of litter boxes. Some self cleaning boxes don’t work in this case because the opening isn’t tall enough for cats to comfortably enter when using those larger units.

Price: $59.97

Buy the Mable Ruth Ottoman Pet House Hidden Litter Box Enclosure here.

Pros:

Ottoman that supports up to 175 pounds

Helps trap odors

Soft cushion top doubles as a pet bed

Lightweight

Cons:

Relatively thin construction

Some cats are reluctant to go inside

Won’t fit larger litter boxes

Litter box not included

Selecting The Best Case For Your Gaming PC

How To Build The Best Gaming PC Guide Hub

There used to be a time when all PCs came in boring beige boxes that were better at cutting you open like a sword than being good at housing a PC. Advancements in design and shifts in consumer demand brought us into the modern PC case market, where most cases are black and won’t cut you open like a sword. In the time between these two eras, we had a lot of weird stuff and many boxes that looked like reject Transformers.

If we’re being honest, there are still loads of modern cases that look like reject Transformers, but they all feel a bit more classy and will do a pretty good job of holding your gear. While there are countless companies offering an ocean of similar-looking PC cases, a few standout manufacturers continue to innovate and push case design forward. This guide will focus on cases from these companies and help explain what makes these cases a good choice for your build.

Selecting The Best Case For Your Gaming PC

Choosing A Form Factor

Most PC cases fall into one of three form factors: ATX, Micro ATX, and Mini ITX. These form factors are meant to pair up with motherboards of the same form factor (though you can fit Micro ATX and Mini ITX motherboards into ATX enclosures). The outer physical dimensions for cases can vary greatly, even within a specific form factor. When shopping for an ATX case, you may see Mid-Tower ATX or Full-Tower ATX options. Both are designed to accommodate ATX motherboards, but offer differing amounts of support for things like storage drives or cooling.

For a PC gaming build, the most practical options are for Mid-Tower ATX, Micro ATX, or Mini ITX cases. For the most part, the will be no performance differences between the cases, though the smaller options may require special considerations for airflow or cooling, due to their physical constraints.

What Makes A Case Good For Building?

Admittedly, any case will be up to the task of holding the basic bundle of PC components. The difference between a bad case and a great case comes down to ease of building, cooling performance, cable management, and looks. You can attach your motherboard to a greasy pizza box and get the thing to boot up, but that doesn’t make it ideal for use as a gaming PC case.The best cases will catch your eye with an interesting visual design (or understated visual design, if that’s your bag), easily accommodate your components, provide options for cable management, and allow for unrestricted airflow.

Unless you have plans to stuff your gaming PC in a closet or out of view, selecting a case that is visually appealing to you is important. You should decide if you want something understated or flashy. Do you want the case to have a window so that you can see your components? Do you need a case of a certain color to match up with a theme you’d like to go with? Be sure to get the look you want, but also take time to think about how you will use the PC once it’s built. A case may look better with no USB ports or headphone jacks up front, but will you be happy having to fiddle around behind the case when you need to plug in flash drives or peripherals?

How Do You Plan To Cool This PC?

One of the biggest choices that must be made before selecting a PC case is how you plan to cool your CPU and/or GPU. If you plan on using a large heatsink air cooler on your CPU, you will need to make sure your case is wide enough to offer clearance so that the heatsink tower doesn’t keep you from getting the side panel attached. If you plan on using an all-in-one (AIO) liquid cooler, you must ensure that your case has the proper clearance and mounting points for the oversized radiators needed for such cooling. If using an AIO liquid cooler, you must decide if the radiator will be mounted in the top of the case or front of the case and what that will mean for air intake for your other components (especially your GPU).

The availability of fan mounting locations and options in a PC case is very important. Every build requires at least one fan either intaking or exhausting air to stay within safe operating temperatures. Ideally, you will use multiple fans to encourage adequate airflow throughout the case. Some people may value silence over pure performance. In this case, using a quieter 140mm case fan would be preferred over the more common 120mm fans. If you want to use 140mm fans, you must pick a case that will allow you to properly mount the larger fan size.

One of the biggest differences between cheap, mass-produced cases and premium offerings is air filtration. Maybe you are cat lady, play your PC games in the windy desert, or are like one of my friends who can’t make it through an entire PUBG match without smoking an entire pack of Parliaments. Dust, hair, dirt, and other contaminants will always be floating around in the air while you play. Your intake fans will suck this stuff up into your PC, restricting airflow and possibly reducing the lifespan of your components. Cases with proper filtration are incredibly useful for keeping your PC running its best. The best cases have easily accessible air filters on their intake points, including on the front panel, top panel, and power supply intake. It is much easier to get cat hair and dust off a filter than it is to dig it your of your GPU assembly.

You Don’t Want A Rat’s Nest

With the popularity of windowed cases, ensuring good cable management is very important. No one wants to spend money on a great gaming PC and have the interior look like a family of rats live inside it. Even if aesthetic value is of no concern to you, having a PC build with proper cable management can help with airflow and make the process of building in the case much easier and more enjoyable.

When selecting a case, make sure that there is ample clearance between the back of the motherboard tray and the side panel. A majority of the excess cabling you have will be stuffed into this space. If there isn’t enough clearance, you may not be able to attach the side panel or it may be incredibly difficult to get secured. A good case will offer multiple tie-down points on the rear of the motherboard tray so you can use zip-ties or velcro straps to secure cabling. Some cases included built-in straps or cable management accessories to make this process easier. The nicer cases will also have grommets on the motherboard tray openings. These grommets help to hide some of the cable mess and keep your cables from rubbing against hard metal edges.

One of the newest trends in PC gaming cases is the inclusion of a power supply shroud. The shrouds usually cover the power supply and the areas around it to help hide clutter. Many of these shrouds extended the entire depth of the case and allow hard drive cages or SSD mounting points (and their associated cabling) to remain concealed from view. Some of these shrouds have openings near the front of the case for large radiator or fan support. Others have openings at the bottom of the motherboard tray so you can keep your front panel header, USB header, and fan header cables out of sight.

The Best PC Cases For Your Gaming PC

Phanteks

ATX Enthoo Evolv ATX Tempered Glass Enthoo Pro M Tempered Glass Enthoo Pro M SE Enthoo Pro M Eclipse P300 Tempered Glass

Micro ATX Enthoo Evolv Micro ATX Tempered Glass

Mini ITX Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX Tempered Glass Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX (No Window) Enthoo Evolv Mini ITX (White Acrylic)

Netherlands-based Phanteks got its start by producing a well-received CPU cooler and then expanding into fans and PC cases. Primarily aimed at enthusiast builders, Phanteks cases have a reputation for cutting-edge design. In the last few years, the company started offering a wider range of options, including cases for those with limited budgets.

The Enthoo Evolv ATX is the crown jewel of the Phanteks PC case family. It has received a tsunami of critical acclaim since it hit shelves and has been a perennial favorite for enthusiast builders. The original Evolv ATX ships with a small acrylic side window, but the newer tempered glass edition is the star of the show. The full smoked-glass window gives your build a killer look and keeps any LEDs from being too overpowering. The case has a built-in RGB accent light up front and surroundings its power switch. It can be expanded with additional strips and can be synchronized to your motherboards RGB setup with the use of an adapter cable.

Beyond its striking looks, the Evolv ATX offers a premium building experience inside and out. It was one of the first cases to feature a power supply shroud, making cable management around the unit easy. The Evolv ATX comes with an innovative fan/radiator mounting bracket that completely slides out of the case, allowing you to mount your fans or radiator with ease. Once you have everything attached, you simply slide the bracket back into the case and screw it in. The motherboard tray is full of grommeted openings for you cables and the power supply shroud has an opening for your GPU power cables, making them easy to attach to the GPU without making an unsightly mess.

The Evolv ATX has a modular drive shelf system to let you attach as many 3.5-inch drives as you need. If you don’t need trays for those drives, the space can be left wide open for the thickest radiators or custom liquid cooling equipment. The power supply shroud even has mounting options for your pump, if needed. The back of the motherboard tray includes mounts for your SSDs, leaving the excess cable clutter out of sight. The accessory package included with these cases is second to none. High-quality, color manuals are unheard of in this market, but are the norm when you buy a Phanteks Evolv.

The Micro ATX and Mini ITX variants of the Evolv case off almost all of the functionality in a smaller package. Full custom liquid cooling support, great cable management, tempered glass windows, and power supply shrouds are included in the smaller versions of the case. Like their big brothers, these cases come in wide variety of finishes and colors to suit your needs.

The Phanteks Enthoo Pro M is a great option if you want the amenities afforded by the Evolv ATX, but would like to spend considerably less. While the Pro M lacks the steel exterior and eye-catching design of the Evolv, the interior is virtually identical. You get all the same mounting options and accommodations at almost half the price. Unlike the Evolv, the Pro M has a 5-¼-inch slot for those who still need to use an optical drive. The bracket for this slot is also removable if you need to fit a larger radiator or more fans. The Enthoo Pro M SE model offers a white painted interior, tempered glass side panel, and includes a pair of Phanteks new RGB fan brackets that let you add color to any case fan. If your budget makes choosing one of Phanteks’ premium cases impossible, the new Eclipse P300 could be the perfect choice. You get many of the high-end amenities and options from the premium cases for under $60. The power supply shroud, tempered glass side panel, liquid cooling support, and RGB options are included. You still get the goodies common on $100 cases, like captive thumbscrews and filters for top and bottom intakes. While the rear exhaust only supports up to 120mm fans and it won’t be able to easily hold more than 2 3.5-inch hard drives, it is more than enough virtually all gaming PC needs.

The Eclipse P300 won’t break the bank, but will make your build look like you spared no expense.

Fractal Design

ATX Define R6 Tempered Glass Define S Meshify C Define C Tempered Glass Define C Focus G

Micro ATX Define Mini C Tempered Glass Define Mini C

Swedish PC case giant Fractal Design has been in the game for just over a decade now. They rose to success on the back of their legendary Define R case line and smooth, understated styling. Thankfully, those good looks also come with thoughtful interior design that makes building in a Fractal Design case a real treat.

For 2018, Fractal Design has introduced a refresh of its Define R series. The new Define R6 line continues on the successes of the R4 and R5 that came before it. If you need a larger ATX case to hold all your components and drives, you’ll be hard pressed to find a better option that the Define R6. Unlike its predecessors, the R6 line enters the world with a full array of colors, side panel options, and premium sound deadening.

The Define R6 also bring the line up to modern case standards with the inclusion of a power supply shroud. Another new shroud covers the hard drive cage and help to reduce the visual clutter from all the power and SATA cables required for those drives. The case intakes all feature removable magnetic dust filters and the top-mounted I/O panel can be upgraded to USB Type-C with Fractal’s upcoming Type-C upgrade kit (requires a motherboard with front panel USB 3.1 Gen 2 header).

The Fractal Define S has been around for a few years and offers the same quality you get from the Define R5 series, but in a more compact chassis. The area up front where the drive cage would normally sit is left wide open to accommodate large radiators and other liquid cooling equipment. The Define S does not have a power supply shroud.

The Fractal Define C lineup arrived in mid-2016, bringing the same level of quality to an even smaller chassis. The Define C comes with a power supply shroud, full radiator support, excellent cable management, and options for acrylic or tempered glass side panels. The ATX Define C is one of the smallest cases you can buy that holds all you full-sized components. The Define Mini C offers the same configurations, but is designed to work with your Micro ATX motherboard. It is slightly shorter than the full ATX Define C.

Towards the end of 2017, Fractal Design introduced the Meshify C. It is a ATX mid-tower design with a tempered glass panel and all the modern appointments you come to expect from a new case design. Unlike the Define R, Define S, and Define C cases, the Meshify C has a wide-open front panel covered by an aggressively styled mesh design. If airflow is of the utmost importance for your build, the fully filtered Meshify C allows your radiator and other components to get the maximum amount of cool air from the front intake.

For budget builders, Fractal’s new Focus G line gives you everything you need for your build, without sacrificing helpful amenities like removable air filters and cable management. You won’t get tempered glass, a power supply shroud, or premium cable grommets, but the Focus G will hold all your stuff and provide ample airflow. Available in several colors, the Focus G cases also include a pair of Fractal fans with white LEDs.

Corsair

ATX Crystal Series 570X RGB Mirror Crystal Series 570X RGB Crystal Series 460X RGB Crystal Series 460X Carbide 400C Carbide 400Q Carbide 270R Carbide 270R Windowed

Micro ATX Obsidian Series 350D

Mini ITX Obsidian Series 250D

Corsair has been offering a wide assortment of cases, memory kits, power supplies, and peripherals to PC gamers for more than twenty years. Their case lineup is famous for offering utility and cooling performance without destroying your wallet. While they offer an exhaustive lineup of cases ranging from monster towers all the way down to Mini ITX powerhouses, this guide will focus on their most popular gaming-centric offerings.

If grabbing attention is on your list of priorities, the Corsair Crystal Series should find a spot on your shortlist of case options. Tempered glass is very popular with builders right now and the Crystal cases have glass panels bolted on virtually everywhere. The 570X cases have glass panels on both of the side panels, the top panel, and the front panel. Included with the 570X is a trio of Corsair’s SP120 RGB fans. The front glass panel puts the focus on the fans and the results can be quite striking. The interior is ready for all the newest components and all of the case’s intakes are filtered. A mirror glass variant of the 570X RGB was released into the wild recently.

The 460X Crystal cases offer an outer appearance that is similar to the flagship 570X, but includes only one side-mounted glass panel and the front glass panel. The 460X RGB model includes the 3 SP120 RGB fans, but Corsair also offers a plain 460X model without the fans that is significantly cheaper. It is a great choice if you want to add fans later or go with RGB options from a different vendor.

Corsair’s 400 series cases offer lots of bang for your buck. The 400C is one of the best all-around PC cases on the market right now. It has mounting options for any part your may have and has a builder-friendly design that makes working in the case and handling cable management a breeze. It features an hinged side panel with a large acrylic window that makes accessing your case a breeze. The opening latch and hinged design is a major improvement over the rear panel thumbscrews you find on typical cases. There is another variant of the case known as the 400Q. This case takes the interior design of the 400C and is lined on all interior surfaces with sound-dampening material. If an clean, understated look and silence are your primary needs, the 400Q should fit the bill.

Corsair made its name in the case market by offering top-flight options for budget-minded shoppers and their current budget king is second to none. The 270R has an interior design that is arguably superior to its more expensive cousins in the 400 series and Crystal series. It comes with the best power supply shroud that Corsair currently offers, excellent cable management options, and exhaustive AIO radiator support. Even in the $50-60 range it occupies, it doesn’t sacrifice amenities like removable dust filters or capacitive thumbscrews.

For Micro ATX and Mini ITX builders, the Corsair Obsidian lineup has you covered. The Obsidian 350D is a great choice for Micro ATX gaming PCs. It isn’t the smallest Micro ATX tower you can buy, but it makes installing your components a breeze. It also has optical drive bays for those who still need them and great liquid cooling support. The included 140mm intake fan helps the machine run cool and quiet. The Obsidian 250D cube can hold a full-sized GPU and AIO kits easily within its compact frame. Like the 350D, it’s not the smallest enclosure of its type, but has a great design and is easy to build in.

In Win

ATX 101 Tempered Glass

Micro ATX 301 Tempered Glass 301C Tempered Glass 101C Tempered Glass

In Win offers some of the most unique case designs on the market. Their current lineup if full of tempered glass cases based on their popular 305 design. In Win was the first PC case manufacturer to offer USB Type-C front panel ports and, unlike all the other options listed in this guide, their current cases have top-mounted power supply designs.The 101 is available in black or white and looks really sharp with its tempered glass side panel and RGB-illuminated logo on the front panel.

The interior of the case is loaded with fan mounts in locations that are uncommon in the popular PC gaming case market. The case is designed to allow bottom mounted fans to intake fresh air from the filtered intake on the underside of the chassis. The power supply shroud is located at the top of the case, along with SSD and hard drive mounts.

The 301 cases bring the innovative design from the 101 line and shrink the dimensions down to accommodate Micro ATX and Mini ITX builds. You get all the amenities from the larger cases, including the tempered glass and RGB lighting. The “C” models, such as the 301C and 101C, have front panel USB 3.1 Type-C ports for fast charging and fast data transfers. The 301 models use a handy magnetic attachment system for the side panel. This lets you easily pull off the panel from the top grip and get quick access to the inside of your case.

NZXT

ATX S340 Elite Black S340 Elite White

NZXT got its start offering PC cases that were unlike anything else on the market. In the years since, the company has expanded their offerings to include fans and AIO coolers. Several years back, NZXT released the S340 ATX mid-tower case and it was met with critical and commercial acclaim. It helped push forward case design in a number of ways, including popularizing the power supply shroud. The S340 Elite builds on that foundation, offering many improvements to the original design and including a tempered glass side panel.

The first thing that stands out about the S340 Elite is the big cable management bar to the right of the motherboard tray. Unlike most cases that use random cutouts in the tray, the S340 Elite has an opening that runs the entire height of the motherboard tray, allowing you to route your cables in an infinite number of ways. The cable management bar conceals your cable work and gives the interior of the case a clean look. The power supply shroud includes two 2.5-inch mounts for your SSDs or NZXT’s Hue+ RGB controller. Many builders elect to go with NZXT’s Kraken RGB AIO liquid coolers, the AER RGB fans, and Hue+ controller with LED strips. The S340 Elite is the perfect fit for all these components and works to showcase the work you put into your build.

FInally, the S340 Elite can be considered one of the most VR-friendly case choices on the market. Included in the package is NZXT’s Puck accessory. This rubber-coated magnet can attach to any surface of the case (except the tempered glass) and will hold your VR headset and cables cleanly. The Puck is also great for hanging your audio headset and cables. On the top-mounted I/O panel, the S340 Elite has the usual headphone, mic, and USB ports, but also has a HDMI port for your VR headset. An included passthrough cable is built into the case that lets you hook your graphics card up to the front panel port. No more fiddling around behind the case when you want to pull out your VR setup!

The Essential Guide to Walk In Showers and Wet Rooms

Walk in showers and wet rooms have become a very popular option for those renovating the bathroom, which doesn’t really come as a big surprise as most people prefer to shower rather than bathe. We lead busier lifestyles than ever before, and a walk in shower or wet room provides a stylish and practical showering solution for all age groups, ranging from young professionals to the elderly, as well as for those with restricted mobility.

So, if you’re planning a new bathroom and wondering whether to install a walk in shower enclosure or a wet room, our essential guide uncovers all you need to know – from how much you can expect to spend, to the different types of walk in showers and much more, which will hopefully help you make the right decision.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A WET ROOM AND A WALK IN SHOWER?

The difference between a wet room and a walk in shower is that in a true wet room, the space is completely open plan (although a wet room shower screen can be used), and the water flows away through a drain in the floor, whereas a walk in shower typically features one or two glass screens and a low level shower tray. Both options provide easy access and make a real statement in any bathroom or en-suite.

Budget, time restraints and style, all play a role in deciding whether to have a full wet room fitted in your home, or to opt for a walk in shower enclosure for a modern look.

WALK IN SHOWERS AND WET ROOMS – THE BASICS

Walk in showers and wet room glass panels don’t have a door unlike a traditional shower enclosure. Instead a simple glass panel separates it from the rest of the bathroom. The frameless glass panel can either be fixed to a wall, or for a walk-through design, held in place parallel to a wall by a pole attached to the ceiling, or facing a wall.

Wet room glass panels can be fitted onto a low level shower tray, which provides an easy yet effective way to create a sleek minimal look, or they can be fitted direct to the floor. A great alternative to wet room glass panels, walk in shower enclosures consist of a narrow framed or frameless glass screen that’s teamed with a rectangular low profile shower tray.

Available in various styles and sizes, walk-in showers give the bathroom a modern, seamless feel, while offering a practical showering solution. They can be fitted in a recess so there’s just a single glass panel on show, or with two glass panels, as well as with or without a shower tray.

What is a walk in shower?

A walk-in shower has no doors, which allows you to simply walk in. This type of showering solution typically includes a wet room screen and a low profile shower tray. One end of the shower is open to the room and can be used to dry off, while the opposite end is the showering area with a glass screen. Walk in showers allow you to create the look and feel of a wet room but without all the associated cost.

Advantages of walk in showers

Walk-in showers have many advantages, and they are a great option for adding smart, contemporary style to any bathroom. Here’s some benefits to a walk in enclosure.

Perfect for small bathrooms

Walk in showers are ideal for small bathrooms as they help to create the illusion of more space. A bulky shower enclosure means you have to account for the space taken up by shower doors and a high tray, but opting for a walk in shower removes this need.

Creates a bigger and brighter space

You can also install a walk-in shower without a tray, which will offer more flexibility when it comes to the layout, as there is no tray, it can be fitted into a tight, awkward space. A single glass screen provides an uninterrupted view through the bathroom, making it appear bigger and brighter – perfect for small bathrooms where there’s limited space and no natural light.

Ideal for those with limited mobility

Another fantastic benefit that a walk in shower has over a shower enclosure with doors, is that it’s a lot easier to use. The doorless and almost step-free design, makes a walk in shower a great choice for those with limited mobility and the elderly, who struggle to lift their leg over a bath and keep their balance. There’s also plenty of showering space, so you can wash young children with ease. You could even fit two shower heads for a luxury touch.

Easy maintenance

With just the glass screen, shower tray and shower head to clean, walk in showers are much easier to maintain, compared to a traditional shower enclosure. When shopping for walk in shower screens, make sure to choose one that features an easy clean protective coating that repels grime and soap scum to keep it looking like new for longer.

Designer style that adds value

A walk in shower room features clean lines and minimal looks, which provides a high-end feel and makes a statement too. If you ever decide to sell your home in the future, a walk in shower can make a real selling point. What’s more, you don’t have to break the bank to achieve this.

Durable design

With minimal fittings and no moving parts, a walk-in shower is a durable and robust showering option that will last for many years.

WALK IN SHOWERS – THINGS WORTH KNOWING

When choosing a walk in shower there are a few things worth knowing…

All glass screens must be toughened and meet British Standard EN12150-1. The thicker the glass the better, between 6-8mm is standard.

Large expanses of glass in the bathroom could mean lots of cleaning, but glass panels with an easy-clean coating help to prevent soap scum from building up and sticking to the glass, so cleaning will be less of a chore.

Glass panels that are framed and edged with chrome, are ideal for families with young children, as the edge is slightly blunter. For a really seamless look opt for a frameless screen – this will have a bevelled safety edge.

Don’t forget to check the guarantee period too, these can range from one year to a lifetime guarantee and cover faulty manufacture or materials, but not breakage.

How much does a walk in shower cost?

This all depends upon the size of the walk in shower and the type of tray that it is supplied with. But, you can expect to pay £369 for a walk-in shower at BigBathroomShop, while a wet room screen with drain will cost £350.

What is a wet room?

A wet room is where the shower is completely open and the shower floor is flush with the rest of the bathroom floor. The shower area of the floor has a slight gradient to allow the water to flow in the direction of the drain. A wet room needs to be completely sealed with waterproof boarding to prevent the water from leaking, so for this reason it’s best to hire a professional to carry out the installation work. A glass shower screen can be fitted to protect items such as loo roll and towels from getting splashed with water, which is ideal for small wet rooms.

Advantages of wet rooms

Wet rooms have many advantages, and they are a great option for adding sleek, designer style to any bathroom. Here’s some benefits to a wet room.

Adds value to your home

A wet room will give your home wow factor, and create a selling point if you ever want to sell in the future. As long as the wet room is installed properly, it will add value, but this is only the case if the wet room is added as an en-suite or second bathroom.

Easy access

As well as being stylish, wet rooms are ideal for those who are disabled and for the elderly too. As there’s no shower tray, access to the shower is a lot easier.

Creates a designer look

Wet rooms are a super stylish option, and perfect for adding designer style and a focal point to your home.

Ideal for small bathrooms

Creating a wet room enhances a sense of space in a small bathroom, and removing the bath means you’ll end up with loads more room. Even if you fit a wet room screen, the space will still look bright and airy. Wet room screens come in a wide range of sizes to suit any space.

Easy to clean

A big advantage of a wet room is that it’s easy to clean and maintain. There’s no shower tray to worry about, and if you fit a wall mounted basin and toilet, then it’s easier still.

CREATING A WET ROOM

Although a complicated and costly option that involves building work, creating a wet room with a screen provides the perfect way to achieve a spa-style look. Wet rooms don’t require a shower tray as the water drains away through a drain in the floor.

To achieve a true wet room, a watertight environment needs to be created by tanking the entire space including the floors and walls to prevent leaks. Fitting the right drainage is essential to prevent the build-up of water on the floor. Drain wastes, underfloor trays, which are a must if you have a wooden floor, and tanking kits can be installed by experienced DIYers, but if you don’t know what you’re doing, call in the professionals to ensure your wet room provides many years of trouble free use.

When the watertight membrane has been fitted, the wet room needs to be tiled throughout, and a gradual gradient should be created on the floor so the water flows into the drain. Remember to opt for floor tiles that have a non-slip finish to prevent accidents. Underfloor heating is a definite must in any wet room, so the floor around the shower can dry quickly and keeps warm underfoot for a luxury feel.

Wet room ideas

Before hiring a professional to fit your wet room, make sure you’ve considered every element of the scheme. Think about the size of the showering area, as well as the shower system, accessories, storage and the type of basin and toilet.

To ensure a neat finish and for a super stylish look, opt for a concealed shower valve, and a large rainfall shower head. It’s also a good idea to fit a hand shower too. If you have the space, why not create a luxury look by doubling up on shower heads?

Make sure to install a drain that can handle a high volume of water efficiently. Enhance a sleek, streamlined look by choosing a flush channel style drain that collects water across its full width.

A wet room shower screen isn’t the only way to section off the shower area, you could instead create a tiled partition wall to stop water from splashing out.

To enhance a spacious feel, opt for a wall mounted basin and toilet – this will make cleaning a lot easier too.

Storage is important in any wet room or bathroom, so make sure there’s somewhere to keep toiletries and beauty products stored away. You could fit a vanity unit and mirrored cabinet, or create niche shelving, which can be built into the wall. To keep towels toasty warm, as well as neat and tidy, install a heated towel rail close to the shower.

Can I have underfloor heating in a wet room?

Yes, you can have underfloor heating in a wet room. Underfloor heating will keep your feet warm and help to dry the space out faster. If you are fitting a wet underfloor heating system, then you will need to embed the pipes into a screed, but with an electric system, the mats are installed on top of an insulated tile backer board.

How much does a wet room cost?

The cost of a wet room all depends upon the size of the space, and could cost approximately between £1,500 and £4,000 including the fixtures and fittings. It’s important to put quality over cost – if the tanking and drainage is insufficient or poorly installed, then it will cost you more in the long run to repair damage caused by water.

Wet room shower screens – glass thickness

At BigBathroomShop, all our wet room shower screens and walk in showers feature 8mm toughened safety glass with an easy clean coating. 8mm glass is the recommended thickness for wet rooms and walk in enclosures, as it’s tough and durable. It also provides a high-end, luxury feel.

Complete the look with a stylish shower system

Finally, once you’ve chosen your walk in shower or wet room, you can then complete the look with one of our stylish shower systems. Available in an array of styles, our shower systems each include a thermostatic shower valve, which incorporates anti-scald technology to ensure a safer showering experience. You could opt for a system with just a shower head and shower valve, or go all out and fit a system with shower head, body jets, shower valve and hand shower for added wow factor.

Rack mount elements follow a kind factor that is referred to as a rack unit. A normal rack mount server is referred to as a 1U server which means that it is 1 rack unit in size. A 2U server consumes two rack units of space inside the rack. Some vendors also offer 4U and ½U servers. The larger type elements are usually used when the server requirements to be capable to accommodate a massive quantity of storage. Tower Servers are the typical boxes (in appearance) you would have noticed in Visio Diagrams. Of course they are really powerful & have bundled software tools to manage them. The dilemma with Tower Severs is the space they occupy, management personnel they need, and price of operating them (energy, network, and so on.).

ILO supports the fantastic RIBCL protocol, that is by far the very best option for monitoring HP servers: it is based on xml and, thus, very easily parseable and it is native (no want of installing SNMP daemons in our servers). Sadly there is not a related alternative to RIBCL in Onboard Administrator. It supports a telnet/ssh command interpreter, but parsing outputs from a facility addressed to human administrators as an alternative of machines is much more than tricky: Bet that the output format of the command you parse will adjust in the subsequent firmware revision. As a 2U rack server, the Dell EMC PowerEdge R820 server offers considerably improved overall performance and power-efficiency when compared to previous generations. The results of all tests on all IBM servers have been almost identical - except that the RAID drives on the HS21 XM models and x3650 server had been slightly faster than NT-File-System- or ext3-formatted drives.
