G.Skill WigiDash Review - a sensor panel with POTENTIAL! KitGuruTech 2024-04-26 | PC enthusiasts have been adding sensor panels to their builds for quite some time now, and we’ve even seen case manufacturers including them in their chassis. But the Wigidash from G.Skill aims to simplify things by providing power and display over a single USB cable to the 7” IPS display. The Wigidash is also aiming to be more than a sensor panel, though, and it’s actually marketed as a ‘PC Command Panel’. So can this new gadget deliver the same functionality as an Elgato Stream Deck?

Corsair 6500X Case - the good, the bad and the ugly KitGuruTech 2024-02-27 | Corsair has dipped its toes in the dual chamber case market previously with the 280X, 680X and the Air 540 but today Corsair makes its return to dual chamber cases with the 6500 and 2500 Series.

Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 - 49inch 240Hz QD-OLED! KitGuruTech 2024-02-23 | 2024 looks set to be a huge year for OLED gaming monitors, as pretty much every major brand announced new screens based on either LG's WOLED or Samsung's QD-OLED panels back at CES 2024. The Philips Evnia 49M2C8900 was announced slightly earlier, at the tail-end of 2023, but is still jaw-dropping thanks to its second-gen QD-OLED 49in 5120x1440 super ultrawide panel.
