I am continuing my little retrospective today and we see once again that everything can still be increased!

I am continuing my little retrospective today and we see once again that everything can still be increased!
The Start is the Chieftec FI-01W ("Flyer"), into which I installed a rather fast HTPC in 2012.
The part has already irritated me, if only because of the size, which should have been called small. Well, the Corsair One is completely custom loop, but here I don't have the Frickelei with the watered graphics card. On a footprint of just under 19 x 19 cm and a height of just under 39 cm, the [...]
Since a lot is currently in a state of upheaval, the logistics with the planned samples for the planned tests has unfortunately made a dent in my bill and I am therefore working in parallel on several extensive projects, which also want to be realized, but cost a lot of time, I do it like the [...]
Yes, it's just so winter and Corona has the outside life under control. Samples become scarce and stop, how warm is it actually outside? Admittedly, summer is still a long way off, but it gets warmer every day. For a PC owner or self-builder, the topics of waste heat, cooling and ambient [...]
So if you really believe that everything used to be cheaper, you're wrong. Just put salary and prices in relation! Luxury goods computer. And gold-plated accessories are as old as the PC surcharge list…
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 [...]
Today I just grab my Fractal shelf and build with Dirty an AMD gaming PC with the ryzen 7 3700X and a Sapphire Notro RX 5700XT Nitro+ on an MSI MEG X570 ACE. All this is cooled and supplied with components from Fractal – if so, then we do it as always also varietal. In addition, there are [...]
Of course, this assembly is purely exemplary and you can also install an NVMe instead of the SATA-SSD, save 30 euros on the power supply and invest in various light RAM… The Sharkoon TG6 is a good P/L offer as a housing with 4 pre-installed, quite quiet aRGB fans and if you don't trust [...]
Intel's NUC (Next Unit of Computing) is a mini barebone PC with laptop hardware to equip an extremely compact computer with powerful hardware. Only SSD and RAM need to be retrofitted by the user to have a full computer. Due to the compact dimensions of 117 x 112 x 36mm or 117 x 112 x 51mm, the [...]
Now you could post another 20 pages of photo of the successful assembly, but I think that the video format with the (sometimes time-lapsed) view of the construction realization gives more. The SL600M Black by Cooler Master is a thankful midi tower that offers some small innovation that goes beyond [...]
The largest possible CPU on the smallest possible motherboard, best still remove all the heat sinks of the voltage regulators and that's the basis for the next YouTube orgy. Of course, I couldn't completely escape my curiosity about the possible limits, but in the end one should also be aware of [...]
Manufacture goods with massive cooling surface, good workmanship and (also over the price) a very exclusive touch of upper-class. At Monsterlabo the name seems to be program and As a self-confessed passive cooling freak I got two of these fancy hardware cages for the tests...
I did it again. And more RGB is nuptitn ing.. With the large and full-surface RGB matrix in the front panel, the InWin 307 is something like the reincarnation of the matrix for the home. Only in white, but solid. Of course, a midi tower in the price range from 300 euros is no longer a bargain, but [...]
As you know by now, I also do on YouTube. But more and more technology in the same space? I work with OBS and this is where AMD comes in with its APU and ASRock with the matching mini PC in the form of the DeskMini A300. Assembling and finished? Almost, because you can still optimize your own...
No, good things don't always have to be extremely expensive, you can also be happy with the clever management of your rather limited budget and still drive it quite colorfully. And I mean that quite literally, because Deepcool has also equipped everything with RGB LEDs. Of course, you can see [...]
Life is sometimes quite difficult. Especially the inner workings, when it comes to lifting an already monstrous housing like the Raijintek Enyo, packed with hardware, onatable. Then you quickly get over 30 kilos together and you really wonder where they actually come from. For the most part, of [...]
Yes, the sun is shining, I know. And yet I have been sitting here in the laboratory for hours hiding and building and building… And because the Raijintek Enyo is so huge, the plans and ideas change even during the testing and construction phase. There is actually almost nothing that [...]
At Caseking, the Kolink Inspire K1 has popped up at a bargain price of €49.99. Caseking will be available from 14. December. The K1 is a midi tower in ATX format. One side part is made of acrylic glass and the front part is made of tempered glass. In such a constellation, of course, the [...]
White egg in front of white wall? I know I don't do myself any good in advance, if I have to start photographing and releasing all the white components individually. Let's see what comes out of it and how much time goes flute for it again. The ulterior motive for this special build [...]
