ASRock Desk Mini reviewed by mytechpartner team. At Computex, we have taken the opportunity to bring even the “Desk Mini 110” from ASRock for you before the camera. It is a very compact machine in which her ​​most important components have yet to buy according to your own needs and have to install. The motherboard is for easily extract from the casing in the ground state and offers space for a variety of components. It is equipped with a H110 chipset from Intel, which you can populate with a Skylake Intel processor of your choice. The chip, however, should have a maximum of 65 Watt TDP.

Of course, the chipset supports DDR4 format for the main memory. The available slots for enough to put up to 32 gigabytes of RAM in the small case. Furthermore, can be found on the board two SATA3 ports and two M.2 slots that can be equipped with the respective storage media.

When using SSDs limits are hardly set and use of high-end models, it brings the system entirely on data throughputs gigabytes per-second range.

By nature, the system also brings a number of terminals. So the user can choose when connecting a display, for example, between HDMI, Display Port and VGA. Here one must, however, be limited to the integrated graphics units of CPUs, there simply is no space for an additional graphics card is present.

Furthermore, USB ports of versions 2.0, 3.0 and 3.1 are available as well as jacks for audio signals. ASRock provides to the system already has a default cooler, which should be enough for these CPUs. The housing itself is in any case already designed deliberately for the strongest possible ventilation.

If necessary, the entire system can also be ordered with alternative chipsets. In the standard version of the product will cost around 135 euros, the cost of the processor and memory did we mention it.   

Zotac has been one of the first builders to show their model “no reference” the next NVIDIA GeForce 1080 GTX already falling. Made with a custom PCB, graphics incorporates multi – color LED lighting not only at the top but also throughout the backplate to create an atmosphere color around inside the PC case so we can highlight the most in the LAN Parties without resorting to cold cathodes or LED illumination in the box itself.

The famous manufacturer of computer boxes SilverStone pulls out a new model in its line boxes semi tower redline format with the SilverStone Redline RL05 , a box that takes over from the previous models in the series in terms of capacity to store the best components hardware but with a complete redesign of the interior, leaving him completely transparent.

The new box RL05 of the Redline series has been created with the goal of exceeding the user experience and their expectations of what the chassis affordable computer, offering a striking visual style and technical features that usually are reserved for models more expensive brands. The RL05 includes two LED 140mm fans to provide the best possible input to achieve a high flow of air through the front filter according to the configuration and characteristic of computer boxes SilverStone of positive air pressure, which not only provides a large cooling but also a low dust accumulation inside the box, since the air escaping from the same prevents it from inside.

The bottom areas of the case where the power supply and the bay device is housed, have covers to clearly separate the individual components of the interior and thus have areas of separate cooling, while allowing users to hide the wires not necessary for building your team, providing a flawless appearance inside.

The cooling system of the new SilverStone Redline RL05 is supplemented by the inclusion of a hole in the back for installing a 120mm fan (or radiator of a liquid cooling that employs a fan that size) and two holes on top of the box for installing two fans, consisting of either 120 or 140 mm.

The box allows the installation of high-end graphics cards like Nvidia Radeon 490 and 490x with a maximum length of 373 mm and a maximum height of 162.5 mm. In turn, it also allows the installation of heatsinks for processor up to 165 mm in height and power supplies up to 220 mm in length.

Finally, there is a USB 3.0 Type-C located on the front panel I / S to provide a convenient connection for this reversible technology. For enthusiasts who want to mount a PC with features and style first within a budget, the RL05 is an outstanding choice.

Zotac International, a global manufacturer of technological innovations, is pleased to present the Mini PC Zotac PC Stick small size. Joining the line solutions in the PICO Pocket range, the computer in stick format comes in two models: the ZBOX PI220 and award – winning ZBOX PI221.

With the space that has increasingly become a luxury, size is a critical factor in determining which is the solution that best suits the needs of each user, which most often means reaching a compromise between size and functionality. The new Zotac ZBOX models PI220 and PI221 come together in the same package the functionality of a full-size computer but having it included in the smallness of a bar. These new mini computers Zotac come equipped with a processor 14nm Intel Cherry Trail type quad core inside the processor, which are well known for the incredible performance and unsurpassed energy efficiency with respect to the processors of the previous generation and any competition.

The PI220 and PI221 offer the same performance network users could expect from a full-size computer. Both models come equipped with 802.11ac WiFi capacity with external antenna and a Fast Ethernet port full size for an always-on connection. Network connectivity is completed with the use of Bluetooth 4.0, which is also standard.

Zotac is pleased to incorporate into their smaller equipment that provides high-speed USB 3.0. Both PI221 PI220 as they are equipped with a USB 3.0 port, so users can expand the storage space or connect peripherals to increase the functionality of the PC on the fly. As an option, the mini computers come equipped with a slot for memory cards Micro SD / SDHC / SDXC type which have also become a standard feature for fast data transfer and easy expansion of storage capacity.

Both PI221 PI220 as complete systems are ready to go the first time with pre installed memory, storage and operating system. The PI220 is a unit that consumes very little power and is very quiet with an intelligent micro active fan while the PI221 allows quiet operation with a passive cooling solution with no moving parts. Both models offer desktop performance in a way able to fit in a pocket and come with HDMI extension cable for flexible connections.

Antec has announced the launch of a new addition to its catalog of boxes Performance family, Antec P1 Window. With a lot like Corsair Obsidian 750D of, with modular and capable of accommodating interior design high – end hardware , it incorporates P1 Window insulation sound systems and will sell for a price that will be around 80 euros.
