Cases, Featured Tech News

Antec is kicking off 2021 with a new airflow-optimised chassis. The brand new DF700 FLUX is the third case in the new FLUX series, providing advanced ventilation through an F-LUX design.

Due to the rising cooling requirements of high-end CPUs, such as Intel’s 10th Gen Core series or AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series, Antec has been experimenting with new case ideas to improve heat dissipation. Ultimately, the team landed on the F-LUX design, featuring an advanced case structure focused on airflow, combined with 5 pre-installed 120mm fans.

Measuring in at 467mm x 220mm x 486mm (DxWxH), the DF700 FLUX offers an abundance of features that come with Antec’s original F-LUX platform. The F-LUX Platform adopts the design of a powerful ventilation system via the lower right-side panel which pulls cool air into the case through the lower PSU shroud and then up into the main interior. The front panel is designed by adopting a three-dimensional wave-shaped mesh.

The case comes ready-equipped with three 120mm ARGB fans in the front, one 120mm reverse fan on top of the PSU chamber to pull cool air into case through the ventilation at the right-side panel and at the bottom, offering a higher level of GPU cooling performance. Altogether the DF700 FLUX offers space for nine fans. In terms of liquid cooling support, there is space for a 360mm radiator in the front and top of the case, as well as a 120mm radiator on the rear. Maximum supported radiator thickness is 55mm if you mount the fans on the outer side of the radiator.

As a case with included ARGB fans, there is a built-in LED controller, which you can hook up all of your ARGB accessories to for easy controls. Other features include seven expansion slots, space for three 3.5″ HDDs or three 2.5″ SSDs. The front I/O panel includes two USB 3.0 ports, power button, HD Audio and the LED control button. Finally, magnetic dust filters are included at the top, front, bottom and side of the case for easy cleaning.

The Antec DF700 FLUX will be available in Europe soon priced at €86.

AOC 31.5-inch 155 Hz Curved QHD Gaming Monitor Spotted in Early Listing

(Image credit: AOC)

AOC is coming out with a new gaming monitor: the AG323QCX2 — or rather, a 31.5-inch VA-based gaming panel, as listed on AOC’s Chinese website.

The display is naturally quite large at 31.5 inches, but with a QHD resolution it should be quite manageable to run. Because it’s a VA panel, it has a 3000:1 static contrast ratio that can produce deep, inky blacks, 121% of the sRGB color space and 91% of DCI-P3 will help with rich colors on the other end of the spectrum too. AOC quotes a Delta-E (color difference from real) of under two, which is considered the minimum benchmark for professional work.

HDR10 support is present, but don’t expect any kind of local dimming — it’s best to look at this monitor as capable of interpreting HDR signals, but not necessarily displaying them optimally as it has no zones and a peak brightness of 400 nits.

That being said, it’s a gaming panel, with features geared towards that. In that light, the AG323QCX2 has a 155 Hz refresh rate, 1500R curve for added immersion, and AMD FreeSync support with Nvidia G-Sync compatibility likely coming down the line, if that really matters at all. Double-check at the time of purchase if you need these features.

A 1 ms MPRT refresh rate ensures blur-free images, though response times are almost always a bit of a mixed bag with VA panels, especially on darker scenes.

Two 5W speakers are built in, and connectivity is handled by two HDMI 2.0 ports, Two DisplayPort 1.4a ports, audio jacks, and a four-port USB 3.2 hub. The low-resolution images available also appear to suggest the rear of the monitor will have some kind of RGB ring, along with a stand that has a full range of adjustments.

No word on pricing or availability, but chances are that if this comes to the US, it will compete among the more affordable 31.5-inch gaming monitors.

Thermaltake divides the side parts of the Divider series

One thing is particularly noticeable about Thermaltake’s new Divider housing series: that the side panels are divided into two. This not only provides a certain variety in terms of looks, but also at least one model for more flexibility.

The Divider series was announced with four models and a whole range of model variants. The four models Divider 500 TG, 300 TG, 200 TG and 100 TG will be available in both black and white. The Divider 500 Thermaltake is the top model of the series and only offers an A-RGB edition. Only with the Divider 500 TG are the side parts left and right diagonally divided. In the other models, the division is limited to the left side part, which is divided into a steel and a glass half. Thermaltake only includes an extra set of half side panels with the divider 500 TG. The additionally supplied glass triangle allows you to mount two halves of the glass side panels on the left-hand side and thus completely show the interior. For the right side of the case, however, Thermaltake also includes a side panel half with air openings for the side fan slots. It can replace the factory-fitted glass half. The Divider 500 TG is not yet on sale, Thermaltake has at least already mentioned US prices: The black variant should 159 cost dollars, whereas the white version 169 dollars.

However, the divider will be available as the first divider housing 300 TG. Therefore we can go into this model in more detail. The Divider 300 TG is also a midi tower. Compared to the divider 500 TG, it is smaller and less flexible, but also much cheaper. The 220 x 475 x 461 mm (W x H x D) large case takes a maximum of ATX mainboards, 14, 5 cm high CPU cooler and 14 cm long graphics cards.

Thermaltake offers it as a standard variant with a 120 -mm rear fan and as an A-RGB variant with three 120 – mm- A-RGB fans in the front and an unlit 114 – mm fan on the Back wall. Behind the front should be a 360 – or 280 – find space for a mm radiator. The side radiator space is suitable for a maximum of one 240 – mm radiator. A maximum of two 3.5-inch and five 2.5-inch drives or up to seven 2.5-inch drives can be installed. The I / O panel in the lid provides two USB 3.0 ports and the audio jacks as well as USB 3.2 (Gen 2) Type-C. One of the special features of the housing is that all expansion card slots are also around 90 Can be used rotated. On the other hand, additional side part halves must be dispensed with, the right side part of the Divider 300 TG is also an undivided steel side part.

Four different prices apply to the four variants. The black divider 300 TG costs 79, 99 Euro, the white divider 300 TG Snow 84, 99 Euro, the black divider 300 TG ARGB 100, 99 Euro and the white divider 300 TG Snow ARGB finally 114, 99 Euro.

With divider 169 TG and 100 TG there will be two smaller models from the Divider series in the future. The divider 200 TG becomes a micro-ATX cube and, in terms of size, only includes the divider 100 TG undercut. There should be no A-RGB variants of the two smaller models.

Raspberry Pi 4-Track Looper: DIY Pro Sound Equipment

(Image credit: he Psychotenuse )

A fun aspect of building with the Raspberry Pi is how easy it is to develop a custom version of unique equipment—like this Raspberry Pi-powered 4-track looper created by The Psychotenuse on YouTube. These projects often come at a lower cost, but when they don’t, they usually make up for it with additional features.

Not only did the maker show his project off, but you can also recreate it yourself by following the complete tutorial. Everything you need to develop your own loop station is shared and carefully explained in the instructions. The looper is used to mix music in real-time by recording audio tracks and looping them on command. Check out this demo to see exactly how it works:

The looper requires 8 buttons in total and 8 individual LEDs. The buttons are used to start and stop recording as well as start and stop when the audio track plays in a loop.

It’s worth noting that in this tutorial, ALSA Mixer is used. This used to be the default audio mixer for Raspberry Pi OS. As of December, it’s been changed to PulseAudio. Keep that in mind if you decide to make this project yourself and visit the Github repo for all of the files you need.

TV sales are growing thanks also to the Olympics and football

After one 2020 in fact aligned with the numbers of the 2019, the supply problems of components will be exceeded: in 2021 more TVs will be sold than last year

by Paolo Corsini published on 18 January 2021 , at 17: 41 in the Audio Video channel

The 2020 closed, for the television manufacturers , with a slight decrease in sales volumes compared to the previous year: -0.3%, for a total of 217 million pieces sold . This result has been achieved with a very particular market dynamic, with the global pandemic that has pushed consumers to purchase new televisions in light of the long time spent inside the home.

The final demand was directed towards a positive value in annual sales but problems related to the procurement of components during the fourth quarter 2020 forced to review the sales plans and generate a slightly negative final result.

The outlook for the 2021 however remains very solid , with two sporting events that should help push users towards buying a new TV. Let’s talk about the Tokyo Olympics and the European football , events originally planned for 2020 and which have been postponed to 2021 precisely because of the pandemic.

The market dynamics will therefore be positive according to the estimates made by Trendforce : sales will touch 223 million TVs in 2021 , for an increase of 2.8% compared to the year just ended.

During the 2020 yes there was an average increase in prices, generated both by market demand and by problems linked to production. For this reason, users are progressively moving towards larger and larger screens, offered at prices not very far from those of smaller TVs. From this the estimate of a potential growth in market volumes for 2021 of 30% compared to last year, for TVs with a 65 inches or more , which will fill the expected decline for lower diagonal TVs whose price lists are no longer so far from those of the larger models.
