Hi all, I'm currently looking to buy a small form factor PC with the intention of being used as an Ubuntu server that will host the likes of Docker, Portainer etc. Whilst I've built systems in the past when it comes to ultra-small form factor I have no clue and given my budget of £150 (at a...

Hi guys, been a while since I last build a PC, decided on some parts but still thinking about the rest of it, so I need some help please This build will be used mainly as developer workstation, so I care about CPU, memory and I/O speed, and small box size, I don't care about gaming...

Sticking point is that the only feasible way to fit a 240mm radiator would be to mount it horizontally on the side...

Hello, I'm planning to build an ITX system because I need something small which does not take a lot of space in my room. I've decided to build it in NZXT H210. I was wondering which non reference Nvidia RTX 2080 or AMD 5700xt GPU will fit in this case with AIO NZXT Kraken Z63 mounted in the...

Intel are launching a new NUC, the Ghost Canyon. Link here (note: Chinese, but Google Translate works). For me the important thing is that the thing has a PCIe x16 slot. Intel have taken the fold-over idea of cases like the Dan A4 and run with it. In the article the NUC is paired with a short...

I'm looking at taking roon for a full on test drive over the course of year. I potentially want to run the main server component headless, but install the client/remote app alongside it for use plugged directly into an AV amp. Key is whatever I buy is as silent as can be without being too crazy...

Hey guys! * Note: my previous post was unfortunately deleted after 1 year of developing the case together with people of Overclockers UK. I think this is because I posted the Kickstarter link once the campaign had launched. Happy to present our first SFF project: MJOLNIR – 9.7L Unibody...
