This is great to see. Articles of interest include building a home NAS with a Jonsbo SFF case, low end ITX Radeon GPU review, and a step-by-step guide to building a 12600K SFF rig. Check it out by going outside your home, …

Image Credit – Metal Fish –   I try to keep my opinion at bay for the beginning part of news stories but this Metalfish case/tank/disaster is just too much. Somewhere, there is a lawyer already prepping a class action lawsuit. Who’s bright idea was it to put a fish tank…. A FISH TANK….on top of thousands of dollars of PC parts? I’ve owned fish tanks. They’re really good at two things. The first is getting dirty and requiring lots of cleaning. The second is leaking. They leak from seams. They leak from glue. They leak just through evaporation. They …

Image Credit – The 8-Bit Guy –   The 8-Bit Guy, seen above asking listening to your excuse for not doing your homework, has restored a very nice bit of retro SFF tech; the Apple IIc Plus. Most people know about the Apple IIe or IIgs. The IIc however is a bit of forgotten history, at least in the mainstream. It debuted in 1988 at a very friendly $675 and sported a 65C02 CPU at 4MHz, 128KB of RAM,  and a 3.5 inch floppy drive. The OS was ProDos. An interesting tidbit is that the CPU is pretty much the …
