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. -

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.

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...

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...
