I found this Kickstarter and the premise looked appealing. A tiny eGPU dock in the form of a MXM card package. However, my BS-o-meter started going off when I saw the demo pictures and video of it being powered completely off a laptop.
Fully powered by USB-C? No way, as it can't get you far. You'd draw a maximum of 18W of power from the bus, and that means it'll have to be severely throttled in performance to work. Yet at the same time, it also boasts some proprietary hashing algorithm that improves mining performance
And how will it be plug-and-play with a Macintosh when the GTX 1050 isn't on the list?

Honestly that makes me sad, it's already fully funded.I found this Kickstarter and the premise looked appealing. A tiny eGPU dock in the form of a MXM card package. However, my BS-o-meter started going off when I saw the demo pictures and video of it being powered completely off a laptop.

I'm about to buy one of those shirts or hoodies or whatever that say, "No, I will not fix your computer".
We need to sell a shirt saying "yes, I'll fix your computer, but only if it's SFF"
"If the repair is closer to a heart transplant than a war-era bomb excavation I shall do it"
"If your PC is larger than this shirt, I'm not touching it."
Shirts only available in XS size.

and then the secret society exclusive shirt only comes in baby onesies
Sounds like we have some good ideas for the SFFF Merch here guys.
The possibilities are endless.
BTW, I'm going to a friend's house tomorrow and he runs a normal ATX system in some disgusting NZXT case tricked out with dope fresh RGB everywhere. I'm going to try and get some pics for the inefficiency thread lol. I've actually become the biggest SFF snob.

The kid changed his case and his rig was totally overhauled to my disbelief. Even replaced his 212 Evo with a CLC. I was so mad.
oh crap I was inadvertently right with the bomb excavation thing o_o
Updated skype few days ago, found out it sucks. MC only ruined it with all those colors!
Found out that a web-app of Skype is same as old, so i now just use web-app

I am an SFF snob too. My friend gets a nice minimalist Fractal R5, and i'm like 'no rgb is good but it's still too big'
I recently bought everything i need to make custom sleeved cable extensions off of ebay the other day, but I'm having second thoughts on the quality of parts ordered. Right now i'm considering getting pre-fabricated extensions and just shorten these instead. All of the items ship out of China, but I havent received them yet so i've been unable to physically inspect the parts. Anyone here care to offer their opinion on them?
