Does this giant 75w card have what it takes to play modern titles? Nope, but still dig the aesthetics.

Driver does work on Windows 11, the software does not and Windows 11 will sometimes overwrite the driver so it no longer works.

While SFF PC cases are now cheaper than ever, GPUs are still more expensive than they should be so I designed a case primarily for low-cost, low-power GPUs.

I already had a parts list in mind so this isn’t the smallest I could make it, but had a few qualifications in mind.

1)Printable on regular 3D printers. I designed this initially to print on a Cetus3D Extended, but also kept it in line with a Creality Ender 3. Printed dimensions 130x180x190mm (4.5L)

2) Have as much as possible 3D printed. Only thing you need is a power button and a PCIe Riser if you want a GPU.

3) Print with zero supports. Hate removing them, so design around them.

4) Needed to hold an single-slot ITX GPU (~170mm) and 70mm CPU cooler. Only officially supports M.2 drives. Needs a Pico PSU or DC power from motherboard.

5) Minimal Assembly. Prints in two parts which can be attached with case screws, though not needed.

Riser protection plate should be used if your GPU doesn’t have a backplate, ideally made with PETG.

~12 hours to print interior and ~24 hours to do exterior at .3mm layer height.

This card wasn’t a powerhouse then and it isn’t now, but for $25 if you need a GPU what CAN it play?

With GPU prices still inflated getting a low-power card as a temporary measure is an option a lot of people are considering. Should this former medical GPU be on your list?

HP is selling a lot of these computers but not many people are keeping them. Is it worth picking one up secondhand?

Salvo Studios is back with its biggest case ever, the S700. With support for ITX, DTX, mATX, ATX, and even E-ATX motherboards while also supporting up to 4 PCIE devices, a large water reservoir, and dual 280mm radiators, it sounds like it could be the be-all case, but there is a reason why this is a limited production run product.

It’s 2021 and the generation of the ODROID Go Advance compatibles is upon us. With so many options on the market companies are looking for ways to make their products standout from each other. The RG351P was Anbernic’s first ODROID compatible model, adding an extra joystick to the mix, while their second attempt is the RG351V, bringing back the traditional Gameboy formfactor and a 4:3 screen. Both are great options, but one is clearly better for retro gaming.

Supports NES, SNES, GB, GBA, Genesis/Mega Drive, Neo-Geo, Neo-Geo Pocket, FBA, MAME, PlayStation, Dreamcast, and Wonderswan.

In 2020 I reviewed the Bittboy PocketGo V2.1. For the price it was a pretty good value and was vaguely styled like a Super Famicom, but was not packing the latest hardware inside and had a few issues. Fast forward to 2021 and a Bittboy has shipped the PocketGo S30, it’s latest and greatest handheld. Does it compete with ODROID and Anbernic?
