Thor had a hammer, and it was a hulking chunk of metal also known as Mjolnir that could only be wielded by those deemed worthy by Odin, ruler of the Norse gods. While no PC geek will ever get a chance to wield it, we can possess 'The Hammer,' the second name Lian Li has given its new PC-90 full tower chassis, which also happens to be a hulking chunk of metal.

NZXT founder and chief designer Johnny Hou will tell you that "The original Tempest was the chassis that really put NZXT on the map for specializing in aggressive airflow." When we reviewed the Tempest, we told you it was a "carbon copy of Antec's Nine Hundred chassis," only it was $50 less expensive at the time and every bit as good, earning it a 9 verdict. Three years later, NZXT is bringing the Tempest back in the form of the 410 and 410 Elite, a pair of midtowers that retain the original's focus on air cooling with modern amenities thrown in.

Longtime Maximum PC readers might remember former Associate Editor David Murphy stuffing a shopping cart full of PC parts into a cardboard enclosure in order to save some nickels in our $500 PC Build Off challenge. Obvious safety hazards notwithstanding, Murphy's pauper path to PCtopia is still an option, or you could forgo a night at the movies and apply that money you would have spent on an ultra cheap chassis like BitFenix's new Merc series.

Lian Li, maker of high end, all aluminum computer cases for going on three decades now, just released a couple of new enclosures aimed at two different target audiences. There's the PC-C60 that's destined to end up in an entertainment center pulling HTPC duties, and the PC-6, a "simple and elegant mid-tower," as Lian Li describes it. We have a different adjective in mind.
