Wireless PC Control with Nintendo Wiimote | Igors Retro

Almost 12 years ago I once published a small craft project, which now happens to have fallen into my fingers while cleaning up. Funnily enough, the Gnaze still works, because I also ripped out the old PC. Only the batteries of the controller I had to replace, the rest still ran amazingly as then.


Crazy, funny, absurd and bizarre: The 40 most bizarre PC moments

Some ideas are so gaga and beyond good and evil that they are brilliant again. The situation is no different with the users. In our little Picture Story, everything from self-tanners to oil PCs is represented. Grandma's letter soup wants to be spooned out first - here you need strong bites. Ever really driven someone in front of the cart [...]


Low-Budget Gaming PC 2020: Part 2 – Assembly

After the choice of the platform and the components has been made in the first part, this part is now about the assembly of the system. This is not a perfect step-by-step guide with the claim of absolute completeness, but only a loose summary in the order in which I usually mount my systems. At this point, of course, I also refer to the first part [...]


Alphacool Ice Block ES Acetal GeForce RTX 2080/2080 Ti (2070 & 2080 Super) Review – GPU Water Block Defined Differently

There are now GPU water blocks like sand by the sea. To then fish out exactly that one grain, which still offers an informative added value, because it e.g. is also completely different in design, naturally becomes heavier with time (and the increasing amount of products). You're looking forward to it like a little snow king, when you happen [...]


Nvidia Quadro RTX 6000 Water Cooled – more boost and performance through modification even without manual overclocking

Everybody can cool with air and honestly: the adrenaline rush when you take apart and rebuild a card that costs several thousand euros is not to be despised. But the basic idea behind the whole water action is actually quite simple. How much more clocks and thus also performance can be squeezed out of a Quadro RTX 6000 by the better cooling alone [...]


Cain 200 AIMO: The Wireless Gaming Mouse in A short test

Roccat's Cain 200 AIMO is a wireless gaming mouse with RGB lighting. It is the top animal in the Cain family and thus one of the most expensive mice Roccat offers. It is available from the usual online retailers for around 90€, which puts it in the upper price range compared to other brands. Personally, I was particularly excited about the [...]


Roccat Vulcan 121 AIMO keyboard in review

Having recently been fully immersed in a world of Cherry MX switches and ultralight mice, I was very excited about these two Roccat products.  On the Vulcan keyboard because I had no experience with Roccat's own Titan Switches. And on the Cain, because I had already become so accustomed to my super light wired mouse. So I was curious what I [...]


Rotted, torn and broken: Cougar Immersa in the long-term basement child test or what you better not do headsets | Caution: Explicit photos!

I’ve been wrestling with myself for a long time about whether to publish the current state of this headset at all, but I just do it. For two reasons. First, you should also pay attention to things that you (e.g. by me) (as the then proud owner) and secondly, the current state also proves (apart from the hygienic state of emergency) that such [...]


Workshop for thrift foxes: RGB lighting for the PC with motherboard control for less than 3 euros? That’s really possible! | Practice

RGB is everywhere today – fans, components, input devices, even toilet lids (no joke!) are already available with RGB lighting. In some respects, I can even understand the trend: the play of colours is usually pretty to look at and individually adaptable to your own preferences. Unfortunately, however, integration also makes many parts [...]


Practice test: Nubert NUBOX A-125 as a space-saving replacement for the Klipsch R-15PM in the near field and a lot of fun playing

Smaller, lighter, cheaper and still better in many areas? Names are sound and smoke, at least for some vendors who, with cheaper product lines, only eat from the glory of days gone by. Klipsch's active boxes are by no means a bad cheap drop, but both the louse quality of the folding and the boards, as well as the annoying background noise [...]


Raijintek EOS 360 RBW AiO Compact Water Cooling in Test – Cheaper, Colorful and Much Better Cooled Can Hardly Be Quieter | Bargain Check

The last generation of the AiO now sends Raijintek into the orcus and delights the bargain-hunting PC-Bastler with the EOS 360 RBW, which is also available as a 240 and which would actually be quite sufficient. But the customer still seems to like to have the longest, which is why it was possible to set off more longer models from the Orcus. A [...]


KFA2 GeForce RTX 2070 Super Work The Frames in review – KFA2 annoys premium vendors with new board, usable fans, lots of RGB and a starry sky

Normally, KFA2 positions itself with the cards of the respective performance classes rather in the most favorable range and thus shows some Pixel pharmacists the cold shoulder and where it can go long in the customer search, because many of these models have been among the absolute price/performance winners for years. But Asia is now ticking quite [...]
