Introducing the Fractal Design Ridge, a better, more refined, Node 202.
We would like to thank Fractal Design for providing us with a review sample of their Ridge chassis. Without their generosity, this case review would not be possible. Way back at CES 2019, representatives at Fractal were quick to quell our disappointment in their LFF case lineup by asking that we to stay tuned, and …
AMD Ryzen 7000 ECO Mode Saves The day for SFF
Image Credit: AMD There has been a bit of concern going around the SFF community about how new CPUs are too power hungry and too hot. It’s not entirely unjustified.

Jonsplus Launches ITX Case With a Handle and BO
Image Credit – Jonsplus I will never not rag on Jonsbo or its spinoff Jonsplus for their absolutely awful Engrish. It’s just terrible. Would someone please tell them what “BO” stands for in most of the English speaking world? Anyway, here is their latest SFF case called the BO 100, and here is what …
Jonsbo Releases Case That Doesn’t Have a Blatantly Obvious Design Flaw..and It has a Built-In LCD
Image Credit – Jonsbo Please forgive the biased title for this news piece, but Jonsbo cases have been a constant thorn in my side for years. Beautiful, but utterly flawed. Things like PSUs mounted to panels that don’t have venting or exhaust, or fans that don’t have any intake and spin uselessly are burned …
