ERA II TechPowerUp Innovation Award
Fit and finish are just unbelievable
"...The Steiger Dynamics ERA offers exceptional performance with the Intel i7 9700K proving more than adequate for traditional workloads, home theater applications, and of course gaming. Add in the two SSDs, one for the OS and another for storage, and you have a system that not only delivers in terms of performance, but also feels responsive no matter what your task as you won't be waiting on a traditional HDD...."
"...The ERA II chassis, while stunning with its brushed aluminium exterior, rocks a professional look and is well built, too. Fit and finish are just unbelievable, and to keep it looking nice, Steiger Dynamics even includes a set of white gloves, which is a nice touch..."

Tom's Hardware: Steiger Dynamics ERA Reference Review
The Steiger Dynamics Era Reference is an ultimate living room gaming PC
"With a fully custom hand-brushed aluminum SFF case that fits in your TV stand, this could be a great option for someone looking for a truly custom PC.[...]"
"The Steiger Dynamics Era Reference finishes our benchmark suite at the top of the class, with the best average and minimum framerates at all tested resolutions in Thief. [...]"
"The front of the chassis sports a silver Steiger Dynamics logo, giving it a classy look similar to that of a Mercedes-Benz. Below a slim-profile Blu-ray RW optical drive there's a spring-loaded hinged panel that opens to reveal the front I/O, which consists of two USB 3.0 ports, two 3.5mm jacks (mic-in, headphone out), and an HDMI pass-through port. This makes the Era an ideal choice for a living room VR setup; you can save several inches of precious cable by connecting the HMD to the front of the PC instead of the back."

NorthernReviewer sits down with COUCHMASTER Cycon
With the Cycon, I am able to play games on my couch, just as well as at my desk
The Cycon is a truly remarkable product. It takes inspiration from all the typical downsides of trying to use a mouse and keyboard while sitting on a couch. Through that inspiration, the makers have managed to make a product that combats all of the issues related to couch gaming, from the strain on the arms to the position of your mouse and keyboard.Click here to read more. -
GameGrin reviews COUCHMASTER Cycon
5 hours later I was still sat as comfy as ever [...] which speaks volumes for the comfort and usability of the Cycon.
Sat on the sofa, with the Couchmaster in place, watching Gordon Freeman get ported to the other side of the office on a large TV with full surround sound brought new life to the game, instead of being hunched over a small 22 inch screen with only a stereo headset for audio, and that’s part of what makes the Couchmaster Cycon such a great addition to the gamers set piece...Click to read the full review. -
Tom's Hardware: Steiger Dynamics MAVEN Pure Custom PC Review
Its craftsmanship and performance-to-noise is unsurpassed by anything we've tested
"The MAVEN Pure Custom blazes through PCMark, partly because of its RAID array and partly because of Steiger Dynamics' excellent overclock." "I'd love to give this machine our ultimate Tom's Hardware Elite award...the only problem is that I'd need to compare it to something in the same class for a more definitive conclusion." "Similarly, I think it deserves a Tom's Hardware Smart Buy award for being only a couple hundred dollars costlier than a home-built machine using similar components and software."

Sound&Vision LEET HTPC Review: Top Pick Award
A stunningly silent, built-like-a-tank, ultimate HTPC
"The anodized aluminum chassis is one piece, feeling higher in quality than a lot of the A/V gear I have reviewed. You would expect liquid cooling at this price, but here it's on a whole other level. This thing is quiet. From 8 feet away (on my sofa), I could just barely make it out when there was nothing else running in my room. It's no louder than my DVR. As far as Blu-ray, 3D, and the lossless audio formats, they looked and sounded the same as coming from a stand-alone Blu-ray player."

Review: STEIGER DYNAMICS LEET Core
Nerdstyle meets Concept Living
They clearly address high-end consumers and home cinema fans with a taste for something very special. You see this in the selection of quality hardware components. Pure, Core and Reference as well as the personal compositions are strictly based on performance without any bottlenecks. All this magic is surrounded by an outstanding case that doesn't resemble the traditional tower models and surprises your guests with features like the digital status monitor.
The water cooling system works without noise even at high usage, making it the ideal companion for establishing a home cinema or using it as a media box in your living room.

Steiger Dynamics LEET Pure Gaming/HTPC Review
The best of both worlds
With the LEET Pure’s stunning brushed finished aluminium chassis complete with the Samsung 7” LED touchscreen display it wouldn’t look out of place alongside any high end Home Cinema equipment and should keep even the fussiest of partners happy!This is by far the quietest desktop system we have ever reviewed. It's so quiet that even under full load it fails to register on our sound level meter which starts at just 30dB (considered a whisper level).Click to read the full review. -
Steiger Dynamics LEET Pure Home Theatre PC Review
The system proved to be extremely quiet indeed, even under load...
The case is sublime, if a little on the large side, but then it can easily twilight as a home server too, dishing out content around the home with no worries about the CPU becoming overloaded like you might with a NAS box. It's great to see a company pushing the boat out when it comes to HTPCs, and with a customised case, quiet operation and plenty of options to choose from in its configurator, if you have the cash, Steiger Dynamics offers the most extreme HTPC we've ever seen.

Even under load the system was remarkably quiet...
What if you could have a high-end gaming PC connected to your TV and living room sound system instead of a console, Blu-ray player or media streamer? That’s exactly what LA-based PC manufacturer Steiger Dynamics proposes and builds its incredible systems made to order.

TweakTown Best of Computex 2013 Award for the LEET Chassis
You will be hard pressed to find anything this sleek and sexy
I would like to award Steiger Dynamics with the Best of Computex 2013 chassis segment. If you have yet to lay your eyes on the LEET chassis from them, I strongly suggest you do so. Steiger Dynamics in my mind has made one of the sexiest and feature rich chassis to come to market in quite some time. While the chassis is going to set you back with a starting price of $789, you will be hard pressed to find anything this sleek and sexy...

PCGAMER about the LEET Core - Silent Might
Editors Choice Award - 5 out of 5 stars - FINALLY a livingroom gaming rig we dig!
I’ll admit, I had already decided before the box cutter came out that this PC was way out of place for gamers based on the price alone. This was, after all, no $1,337 gaming rig or even some fire breathing multi-GPU tower PC taller than a 7-year-old kid. No,Steiger’s Leet Core was a living room gaming box with a price tagnorth of $6,000. But I was wrong. Hear me out on this one...

HOMETHEATER magazine introduces the LEET
Aimed at hardcore gamers and A/V enthusiasts
It’s not every day you come across a liquid-cooled home theater PC that looks like a high-end audio component. House in a brushed-aluminum chassis and aimed at hard-core gamers and A/V enthusiasts, the made-to-order LEET Windows 8 computer includes Blu-ray/DVD writer and is built around i3 or i7 processors and NVIDIA’s 4k-ready Geforce GTX690 video card. Liquid cooling enables overclocking to 5 gigahertz without hurricane-force whirring that makes it sound like the CPU is about to blow. A 120-gigabyte solid-state drive (expandable to 1 terabyte) is standard, and up to 12 TB of hard-disk storage – enough for 1,000 high-def movies – is possible...

KitGuru about the COUCHMASTER
PC gaming on a big-screen TV, from the comfort of a couch, is a possibility, thanks to the CouchMaster
In days gone by, it was rare to see PC gamers sitting anywhere other than at a desk when enjoying their favourite titles. With the emergence and widespread adoption of big-screen TVs and floor-shaking surround sound systems, PC gamers’ desks have a competing entertainment area – the couch...

xcpus.com reviews STEIGER DYNAMICS LEET Core
Our scoring for the LEET Core gets it 9.9 out of 10.
We felt privileged to be able to review a system as well put together as the Steiger Dynamics LEET Core. Our personal feelings about this machine hold it in the highest regards. It is from experience in building and tearing down systems that we know what kind of work goes in to creating an HTPC like the LEET. Time and again we read about how it is not worth spending the money to buy a system like this. We always hear the, “I can build it for half the cost!” excuse being tossed around at boutique system builders...
