Gaming PCs don’t have to be ugly: Fractal Design cases fall as low as $110 (Up to 31% off)

Image showing a group of Fractal Design North PC cases. 31% off/From $110

One of the things I love most about large scheduled sales like Big Spring, Prime Day, and beyond, is that you can often cash in on things that don’t frequently see discounts. Fractal Design gear is a perfect example if you ask me, and several of its great looking PC cases are priced from $110 right now. That’s right, you can cash in while gear is up to 31% off. My personal favorite, the Fractal Design North Chalk White Oak ATX Case is down at $123.99 right now. You’d usually need to fork over $155, which equates to a $31 discount. The only time we’ve spotted it less at Amazon was for a week back in January at $116. Outside of that, this is the second-best offer we’ve tracked on the style. I’m personally rocking an XL version of this case at my desk right now. You can find all the deals down below.

Review: Luminkey’s Magger68 Pro HE is a fantastic enthusiast keyboard that won’t break your bank

Image showing a mechanical keyboard on a desk.

One of the biggest issues I often run into with Hall effect gaming keyboards is that they typically fall short when it comes to typing experience outside of gaming. The few that do get it right – or at least come close – like the Glorious GMMK 3 Pro HE, usually cost over $300. As someone who enjoys building and tweaking mechanical keyboards as a hobby, I found myself constantly switching between standard mechanical keyboards for typing and Hall effect models for gaming. That changed when I got my hands on the Luminkey Magger68 Pro HE. Built by a brand known for offering a wide range of layouts and catering to enthusiasts with “high-end” custom boards, the Magger68 strikes that rare balance, at least for me. It’s not only great for typing but also includes all the key magnetic keyboard features like customizable actuation points. I’ve been using it as my main keyboard for both work and gaming over the past few weeks, and in this review, I’ll break down whether it’s worth considering for your setup.
