The major difference between the Fusion 3000 and Fusion 4000 is that ability to house an extra ITX system , something the 3000-model is lacking and the 4000 is a bit heigher, being a ATX Super Full Tower. The Fusion 3000 is is still large enough to house every mainboard you want.

Tool-less operation is also great when working with the AZZA offering. Installation of drives of any type is painless. And when it comes to drives the Fusion 3000 can house four 2.5″, six 3.5″ and four optical drives with no problems. And for the HDD’s there is no need to opening the case as they can be installed from the front side in.

Full sized cases are not for everyone but for those that are looking for a larger case maybe because you are using several video cards, a larger than ATX motherboard or planning to build a water-cooled rig this is a case worth looking at. AZZA designed the Fusion 3000 to be an ultimate gaming case and it fits it.



One thing to watch out for if using one of the Antec Kuhlers is to ensure that the fan is set up to exhaust the air out of the case. I made this mistake, thinking it wouldn’t make too much of a difference, but once I started gaming, things heated up inside the case quickly. Flipping the fan completely sorted the issue and the GPU saw a drop from 78C to just 54C, quite a difference.

tested by tech-reviews


The Samsung Series 9 900X3A features a 13.3-inch matte display with a maximum resolution of 1366 x 768, which is pretty much standard for most 13.3-inch display.

The whole keyboard is backlit and, to the touch, feels very similar to the MacBook Air I’m currently using to write this review.

The video quality appeared to be equally as good with Full 1080p HD video streaming effortlessly on the ultra bright and crisp 13.3-inch matte display.

The battery life was relatively good for such as high-performance machine, with the laptop lasting around 3 and a half hours with WiFi on, music in the background, browsing the web and checking email.



The ZaReason Strata 6880 is self-described as “a blast of power in a portable container.
