Oblivion Gladiator

Newcomer Oblivion has opted for an eye-catching black and orange colour scheme for the Gladiator, and it looks attractive with its large swathes of colour and little details. The pipes that flow down from the Raijintek Triton’s 240mm reservoir are filled with orange coolant. Meanwhile, the Gigabyte motherboard mixes its black PCB with orange heatsinks, and the trio of intake fans and single exhaust spinner have all been replaced with orange-bordered Alpenföhn models. It’s a great effort at colour coordination.

Box Cube Predator

This system from Birmingham-based builder Box is one of the largest PCs we’ve ever seen. The Corsair Graphite 780T weighs 11kg on its own and stretches 637mm from its base to its roof – and those dimensions, and the black and white colour scheme ensures it will stand out like a monolith in any room.

Chillblast Fusion Fury Nano

Chillblast’s Fusion Nano might be small, but it uses the stupendous AMD Radeon R9 Nano to cram an unprecedented amount of power inside its tiny case. The R9 Nano uses the Fiji GPU core that underpins its Fury X cards, and the use of 4GB of highbandwidth memory on the GPU package, rather than big GDDR5 chips, has enabled AMD to use a pint-sized PCB too.

CM Storm Quick Fire XTi

Most keyboards with complicated macro and lighting customisation options manage these features through software. There are a few exceptions, however, and adding itself to that list is CM Storm’s Quick Fire XTi. This new keyboard offers multi-colour per-key backlighting, five on-board profiles and programmable macros for almost every key, yet it’s also fully plug-and-play with no need for software.

Asus Z170i Pro Gaming

We’re expecting a bunch of new mini-ITX offerings to land in the next few weeks as well, from Gigabyte, MSI and ASRock, as well as the highly anticipated Maximus VIII Impact from Asus. For now, though, the Z170i Pro Gaming is one of few options available if you’re looking to build a mini-ITX Skylake system.
