PC Zenith v4

The Everglide DKTBoard is something different than the Razer Lycosa we looked at a while ago. The DKTBoard is much more humble, its design is sleek and simplistic. The blue led lighting makes it stand out a bit but apart from that it looks like any other small sized keyboard. But the quality is good, the keys are responsive and the led lighting shows through the keys and around each one to make them readable and very usable in the dark. Especially useful when you’re a LAN gamer and you’re in a darker environment. The DKTBoard does everything right, except for the missing mute button and the directional keys being so close to the enter button.  This is a great keyboard for just under 50 dollars, which makes it a very attractive keyboard if you’re in the market for a new gaming keyboard without all the whistles and bells.

The M9D is a nice addition to the large variety of cases that Thermaltake have to offer. But although it looks great from the outside, there are still some flaws in it’s design if you have a system crammed full of drives and video cards. For starters the case should have been a bit deeper to use all of the drive spots with larger video cards, secondly there are the noisy fans. You might also not want to use a large heat sink for your cpu because there is little to no room between the 23cm fan and the heatsink if you have a larger than normal fan. Another issue is the harddrive bracket, if you put any hdd’s in there than there’s not a lot of clearance between the rest of the hardware and the drives. Same for the room on the bottom where you can install drives, there’s just not enough room if your using larger cards. The fastening system for the drives however is a dream to work with and the overall feel and quality of this case is right up there with the other cases of this segment. Tough decisions, but if you don’t use a lot of hardware and you want a stylish case than this is not a bad choice at all. Thermaltake M9D @ BurnOutPC
