Build Log – 1150 Haswell I have always loved playing games like GTA 5 and Fallout 4 that have full controller support on the TV. It is just a more pleasant experience playing from the softness of the sofa in a number of different unhealthy body postures.

Build Log – 1155 Sandy Bridge The last missing piece from my collection of Intel based ITX PCs from the -kind of- monopol era of the company is the 2nd generation or Sandy Bridge architecture.

Back in the 2008-09 era the first -really gaming ready- ITX motherboard came to be from the labs… Read More »Build Log – 775 Wolfdale
Build Log – 1150 Haswell Refresh So my brother came to me with a request for a mini PC knowing I have made several HUMBLE cases for the color demonstration/introdutction. He already had a a full tower desktop from around 2014 that he is still using today. He told me that the rig is perfectly fine for what he is using it for like studying and some light gaming here… Read More »Build Log – 1150 Haswell Refresh
