    $79 Endless Mini PC Aims To Enable Computing For The Rest Of The Word

    We cover a lot of high end gear, everything from multi-core processors with boatloads of cache to graphics cards that can run circles around Crysis. But what about the other end of the spectrum? A company called Endless Computers points out that in the developing world, nearly 5 billion people don't have access to a PC. Endless aims to change that with a low cost system that brings the Internet to people who otherwise wouldn't have access to either.

    Meet the Endless Mini, a $79 sphere-shaped PC. It's built around an ARM Cortex-A5 processor running at 1.5GHz with a Mali-450 GPU. It also has 1GB of RAM and 24GB of solid state storage. Connectivity options consist of three USB 2.0 ports (two on the rear, one of the front), a 3.5m audio port, GbE port, and HDMI and composite video outputs.


    Users can plug Endless into a monitor or any standard television. They'll also need to add a cheap keyboard and mouse, and then they're good to go. The system runs a custom version of Linux and is preloaded with a plethora of content, the idea being to give users as much offline information and tools as possible since Internet access isn't always easy (or affordable) to come by.





    "Endless comes with a browser for when you have internet. Each computer is preloaded with a full encyclopedia, educational lectures, recipes, health information, and over 100 other apps, making it the perfect solution where Internet is expensive, slow, or unavailable," Endless explains.

    There's also a $99 model that adds 802.11n Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0, plus a pair of more powerful models simply called Endless, one that runs $189 (32GB eMMC and SD storage) and the other $229 (500GB HDD). Both models features an Intel Celeron N2807 dual-core processor, 2GB of RAM, 32GB of eMMC and SD storage, two USB 2.0 ports, a single USB 3.0 port, GbE LAN, 3.5mm audio jack, 802.11n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and an integrated speaker.


    We met up with the people behind Endless Computers at CES and were impressed with how passionate they are about their mission. The company's founder, Matt Dalio, is a genuine person who's been looking to make a difference since an early age. At just 16 years old, he founded China Care, "making possible surgeries, foster placements, and financial aid for thousands of orphans," according to his bio.

    Endless Computers successfully finished a Kickstarter run earlier this year in which it raised $176,538 from over a 1,000 backers, besting its goal of a cool one hundred grand. Now it's looking to spread the world as it gets ready to bring computing and information normally reserved for the Internet to emerging markets and third world countries.

    MSI Crafts Its First Compact Gaming PC: The Vortex

    MSI revealed a new gaming system called the Vortex, a cylindrical and modular SFF PC that supports dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 SLI graphics and features a new “Silent Storm” cooling system.
    The Vortex is designed to fit high-end hardware into a small space while providing adequate airflow to every compartment of the chassis. MSI calls this “360-degree” airflow technology Silent Storm Cooling, and it seems to be an innovative way to keep component temperatures low in the Vortex’s small package (it also conveniently matches the naming scheme of the product).
    MSI’s Vortex, along with the company’s other recent product reveals, reflects a seemingly-growing trend of “small-yet-powerful” enthusiast-level gaming products (see the Gaming 27XT and GT72 Dominator EyeX). The Vortex sets itself apart as the company’s first compact gaming PC.
    “We wanted a system that is small enough to be carried anywhere, powerful enough to run anything and can be placed almost anywhere in the household,” stated an MSI representative. “We've achieved that with the Vortex.”
    The Vortex supports the latest 6th generation (Skylake) Intel processors; dual PCI-e 3.0 x4 M.2 SSD slots (with optional “Super RAID 4,” MSI’s name for a RAID 0 configuration); support for up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory; and dual Nvidia GeForce GTX 980s in SLI.
    Before you get too excited (or start pondering how they crammed two desktop GPUs into that tiny chassis), these graphics cards are mobile versions of the desktop-class GTX 980, which seem to offer just as much horsepower as their desktop counterparts, but they are also significantly smaller. There may not be much of a performance gap between the two versions, but it should be stated for the record that these are not full-blown desktop GPUs.
    However, the Vortex’s hardware seems to be able to compete with most similarly-equipped PCs in performance (at least on paper) while significantly reducing the space required for high-end gaming desktop.
    Like most everything else being revealed at CES this week, pricing and availability for MSI’s Vortex remains a mystery.

    Intel’s Skull Canyon Mystery PC Confirmed And Detailed

    Before you ask, no, we weren’t allowed to take any pictures -- which is too bad, because that rumored “Skull Canyon” PC from Intel is real. It’s small, it’s thin, and it sports a SkullTrail logo.
    We were hoping to cajole Intel into showing us anything related to the mini STX form factor we’ve been hearing about, but instead, we saw a 4 x 8-inch SFF PC that’s less than an inch thick. The chassis, which is close to being finalized, was a dark metallic gray, with slightly rounded-off edges.
    It will run an (as yet unreleased) H-series Skylake (45 W) processor with Iris Pro graphics, and it will be soldered (BGA). The code name, as the initial rumors suggested, will be “Skull Canyon.” The tiny PC will offer DDR4 RAM and (likely) an M.2 SSD.
    That slim little chassis will surely heat up fast with a 45 W CPU, but Intel seems confident that it has a sufficient cooling solution. The front and rear of the chassis (that’s the part that’s four inches across) have a metal mesh, and there’s a small fan inside. Of course, with the chassis at just an inch thick, the fan has to be horizontally oriented, so it’s sort of a “squirrel cage” setup.
    There are four USB 3.0 ports, a full LAN port, and an SD card slot, and for video out, there’s DisplayPort, HDMI and a USB-C port. That last bit -- the USB-C port -- is key to the Skull Canyon PC, because it runs Thunderbolt 3.
    As we’ve seen from the likes of Razer, Thunderbolt 3 over USB-C should enable the system to use a non-proprietary external GPU dock (while receiving power from the dock itself). The dock could also serve as a peripherals hub for your mouse, keyboard and monitor. Thus, like the Razer ultrabook and dock, that slim brick plus a desktop graphics dock could get you remarkable PC performance for the size.
    Intel was tight-lipped about any plans for a GPU dock of its own, but from our pestering, we inferred that at the very least, it’s being discussed internally.
    Intel is positioning this PC as a gaming device -- or more fairly, a gaming PC -- and specifically, it could be a Steam Machine. (We were told that the Skull Canyon PC would not ship with Windows, so we’re just doing the speculative arithmetic here.)
    The Skull Canyon PC should launch Q2 -- perhaps at GDC. The price is TBD.

    So what if it is small, this Breadbox can play Crysis

    The Tech Report has a bit of a soft spot for what they refer to as Breadbox builds, aka SFF systems and recently one of their members built a brand new system. Hidden in the tiny EVGA Hadron Hydro case is a watercooled i5-6600K, a tiny Gigabyte GTX 970 GV-N970IXOC-4GD, 16GB of DDR4 and two OCZ Vector 180 SSDs all installed on a Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 mini-ITX board. The installation went well though the EVGA Hadron Hydro has a bit of a personality to it which you can read about in the full article right here.

    "Our Editor-in-Chief has always had a soft spot for Mini-ITX systems with big performance, and Gigabyte, OCZ, EVGA, G.Skill, and Logitech were happy to help him build a Breadbox system with some high-octane parts. Here's how he put it all together."

    Hands-On With Intel's Skylake Powered NUC Mini PCs, Sightings Of 'Skull Canyon' Performance NUC


    If you’re a fan of Intel’s NUC series of mini PCs, the chip giant is back at it again with a refresh built on its Skylake processor platform. The big news of course comes under the hood in the form of two ultrabook-class processors: the dual-core U-Series Core i3-6100U and Core i5-6260U. The Core i3-6100U comes with Intel’s HD 520 graphics, while the Core i5-6260U brings a bit more to the table with Iris Graphics 540 (complete with 4K support). The NUC refresh includes support for DDR4 memory (up from DDR3) via two SO-DIMM slots. The Skylake architecture also means that you’ll receive additional enhancements including Speed Shift (which allows the processor to change P states in just 1ms rather than OS controlled), Software Guard Extensions (SGX) and Memory Protection Extensions (MPX) along with native support for NVMe PCI Express Solid State Drives (data rates can top out at 2.2GB/sec for an on-board M.2 stick).

    You'll also now find a full-size HDMI port instead of a mini HDMI, which is an added bonus and for those that juggle SD cards from your point-and-shoot or D-SLR cameras, all of Intel’s new Skylake-based NUCs now feature a built-in SDXC reader.
    While we’ve mainly touched on things that have changed with Intel’s NUCs, there are some things that have stayed the same. You’ll still have access to four USB 3.0 ports (two on the front, two on the back), built-in wireless connectivity (Intel 8620; 2x2, 802.11ac, Bluetooth 4.2), GbE, a mini DisplayPort 1.2 port and an IR receiver. Likewise, Intel offers its NUCs in two different heights: the shorter “K” SKUs can accommodate an M.2 SSD or taller “H” SKUs which can accommodate both an M.2 SSD and a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD.
    image: http://hothardware.com/ContentImages...ute-Sticks.jpg

    Intel's NUCs alongside new Compute Sticks

    It should be noted that all of Intel’s NUCs comes in a barebones configuration, which means that you’ll need to add an SSD/HDD and your own RAM to get things up and running on the hardware side of things. Likewise, you’ll need to bring your operating system to the table. Windows 10, anyone?
    But before we call it a night, we’d also like to make mention of another Intel NUC that is in the pipeline, a burlier one that’s codenamed “Skull Canyon.” The particular NUC will features a quad-core 45W Skylake-based processor along with Iris Pro graphics with 128MB of eDRAM. One of the biggest additions, at least for power users, gamers and content creation professionals, is the inclusion of a Thunderbolt 3 port. This will allow Skull Canyon to accept external graphics solutions (among other devices), like the Razer Core enclosure. The Razer Core is capable of accepting just about any graphics card from AMD or NVIDIA and includes its own built-in power supply.
    Although Intel NUC SKUs with Core i3-6100U and Core i5-6260U processors should be hitting the usual retail channels very shortly, things are a bit more unclear for Skull Canyon. The only confirmation that we have from Intel is that it will arrive sometime in Q1 2016.

    Zotac adds an Ethernet port to its PC Stick

    Quite a few players are producing candy-bar PCs these days, and we're finally starting to see some deviation from Intel's original Compute Stick formula. Zotac has announced its PC Stick, which is a little larger than usual but also has a couple interesting features.
    The PC Stick packs an Intel Atom z5-Z8300, a quad-core chip with 1.44GHz base and 1.84Ghz turbo clocks. 2GB of RAM are on tap, along with 32GB of eMMC storage. There's also a microSD card slot for further storage expansion needs.
    Wireless connectivity comes by way of 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.0. Zotac added an Ethernet port to the PC Stick, too. A USB 2.0 port and an HDMI output round out the base specs.

    MSI Vortex Mini Gaming PC Takes The Fight Against Apple’s Mac Pro – Packs Core i7-6700K and SLI’d GeForce GTX 980 GPUs

    CES 2016 has brought a range of new gaming PCs and notebooks fitted with the latest hardware that’s available today. MSI has also showcased their own gaming PCs which they believe are the future of PC Gaming as said in their press release. From All-In-Ones to Mini PCs, MSI had them but out of all the products, one particular mini PC stood out of the rest and this PC is called the MSI Vortex.




    MSI’s Compact, Mini Gaming PC Vortex Is More Powerful Than The Mac Pro

    The MSI Vortex features the same cylindrical shape as the Mac Pro from Apple. The Vortex is slightly bigger and comes with its own MSI Gaming infused looks compared to the all glossy black layout on the Mac Pro. The Mac Pro is aimed at professionals while the Vortex is a full fledged gaming focused device but comparing the two in terms of specifications reveals that the Vortex is better in every possible way. First of all, the chassis which MSI states is a Tower form factor has a capacity of 6.5 liters. The casing has two fans, a bottom intake fan and a top mounted exhaust fan which are used as cooling solution for the entire hardware assembly within the Vortex. It should be enough to cool the PC under normal gaming loads but there’s another thing about the Vortex, it fully supports overclocking too and the hardware that is packed within it is advertised to support it by the respective companies.
    Vortex – MSI’s Vortex is a powerful compact gaming PC designed to fit anywhere. Potent yet small, the Vortex is only about 6.5L and comes packed with power utilizing a desktop Intel processor, dual NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 980 SLI graphics for blistering fast performance, and a 360° Silent Storm Cooling design for superior performance under the most intense gaming sessions. It will also support multiple 4K video outputs simultaneously for intense multi-tasking and allow for expandability with an easy-to-upgrade design for DIY users. The Vortex will be available in 2016. via MSI
    Packing an Intel Core i7-6700K (Skylake) processor that comes with an unlocked design along with dual GPUs and we aren’t talking about some regular MXM chips, MSI has actually used two GeForce GTX 980 GPUs that were recently introduced to the mobility market and pack the full GM204 core with 8 GB of GDDR5 memory and 2048 CUDA cores. The Skylake chip itself is a 4 GB Quad core beast and the top of the line processor that Intel has to offer in the market today. The system comes with DDR4 memory support up to 64 GB which is also another feast for users. Under full load, the system has an operating noise load of 37dB and just 22dB when it is idle.

    The system is going to be offered with two planned SKUs, the more pricey solution is already detailed above. The second one will come with Dual GeForce GTX 960M GPUs and a Core i5 class processor from the Skylake family. The solution does give users a lot of room for upgrades as it comes with the LGA 1151 socket that has been rumored to last two generations (Skylake and Kaby Lake) along with MXM modules which users can up-grade to a better graphics module. The systems are going to fall in the price range close to $2000 US. The price is lower than the starting price of the Mac Pro (2013) at $2999 US and packs a quad core Xeon E3 chip along with the FirePro D300 graphics solution (2 GB GDDR5 memory). The MSI Vortex PC is expected to hit retail in Q2 2016.

    MSI GAMING 27X 6QE AIO PC – Features Back-Mounted External Graphics Card Module













    Images Credits/Courtesy: PCWatch
    Another Gaming PC showcased by MSI was their Gaming 27X 6QE AIO. Powered by the Intel Core i7-6700 chip and based around the H170 PCH, this PC is an AIO solution aimed at the gaming audience. The PC can support up to 64 GB of DDR4 memory and has a 27 inch display that is offered in either 1080P or 4K resolutions and a refresh rate up to 144 Hz. This gaming PC comes with a back-mounted, external graphics card module that can support flagship graphics cards such as the GeForce GTX 980 Ti or the GeForce GTX Titan X and leaving users to further upgrade to a new graphics card by their own choice. The PC is expected to hit retail around Q2 too with a price range of $1700 US.

    Hands-On With Gigabyte’s Skylake BRIX Mini-PCs, Aorus Gaming Notebooks And WINDFORCE Graphics Cards

    We had a chance to visit Gigabyte this week at CES, and as always, the company had plenty to showcase for our eager eyes. On tap were new Skylake BRIX mini-PCs, new WINDFORCE graphics cards, a new gaming laptop and a familiar 34-inch curved AIO machine.
    First up, however, is Gigabyte’s refreshed BRIX mini-PCs which feature a high-quality, brushed aluminum finish to class things up a bit. Customers can choose from three Skylake processor, all with a TDP of 15W and all with Intel HD Graphics 520 onboard: the Core i3-6100U, Core i5-6200U or Core i7-6500U.
    Two M.2 slots are included in the BRIX machines, with one already occupied by a combo Wi-Fi/Bluetooth module, and the other awaiting an SSD that you have to provide. Interestingly, while Intel’s Skylake NUCs take advantage of DDR4 SO-DIMMs, the new BRIX machines use DDR3L. Other features of mention include four USB 3.0 ports, Intel GbE, HDMI and and mini Mini DisplayPort.
    The new Skylake BRIX models will be available in a standard configuration — GB-BSi3-6100, GB-BSi5-6200 and GB-BSi7-6500 — which only support a single M.2 SSD. However, there will also be taller “H” models — GB-BSi3H-6100, GB-BSi5H-6200 and GB-BSi7H-6500 — that accommodate an M.2 SSD and a 2.5-inch SATA SSD or HDD.
    Next up, Gigabyte had a new Mini Gaming PC on display complete with a swanky Enermax case. Inside, you’ll find a GA-X150M-PLUS WS motherboard (Intel C232 chipset) which support Skylake processors along with the eon E3-1200. You’ll also find dual DDR4 DIMM slots and a Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 graphics card. Other products on display included the GA-Z170N-WIFI Skylake motherboard and an updated WINDFORCE GPU lineup that includes light pipes around the fans across the board. One model in particular, the GV-R9FURYWF33OC-4GD includes a WINDFORCE 3X cooling system, AMD Radeon R9 Fury GPU with a core clock of 1010MHz and 4GB of GDDR5 memory.
    Gigabyte also showed four new members of the Aorus notebook family: the X5 v5, X5S v5 2016 Limited Edition X5 and the X7 Pro v5. The 15-inch X5 v5 includes a Skylake Core i7 processor paired with up to 64GB of RAM, and your choice of a GeForce GTX 980M (8GB) or dual GeForce GTX 965M in SLI (2x4GB). Your screen choices include either a 4K UHD (3840x2160) or 3K WQHD+ (2880x1620) panel. And it should be noted that the X5 v5 is Gigabyte’s first notebook to be available with the optical Fusion Keyboard, which provides per-key LED backlighting.
    There are two additional X5 models to speak of: the X5S v5 and the 2016 Limited Edition X5. The former is available only with the GeForce GTX 980M GPU and can not be had with the Fusion Keyboard. The latter comes with a special camouflage paint job for the exterior.
    Last, but not least, on the laptop front is the X7 Pro v5. This particular model comes with a Skylake Core i7 processor, dual GTX 970M GPUs in SLI and a 17.3-inch Full HD display.
    The final product that we had the chance to look at was a familiar 34-inch curved all-in-one gaming desktop. We say familiar, because MAINGEAR announced the same basic machine earlier this week. We don’t have any specifics yet from Gigabyte on how it plans to differential its offering from the rest of the pack, but we’ll give you details as soon as they are available.

    First Mini-STX motherboards launched, based upon Intel 5x5

    Motherboard makers introduced the first Mini-STX motherboards at CES last week. We saw Intel launch the platform, previously known as the 5x5 form factor, in August last year. Now both ASRock and ECS have readied Mini-STX motherboards which support your choice of LGA 1151 CPU; from humble Celeron, to Pentium, Core i3, Core i5, or even a Core i7 processor.
    As it says in the subheading of this report, these Mini-STX motherboards are the smallest Intel motherboards to support upgradeable CPU choices. This form factor was originally dubbed the 5x5 by Intel as those are the approximate area dimensions of the boards in inches (similar to the size of an Intel NUC). Both the ASRock H110M-STX and ECS H110SU-02 use the Intel H110 chipset. They allow buyers to fit their own choice of sixth generation processor up to 65W TDP.

    ASRock claims its example is unique in supporting standard desktop CPU fans. I've embedded the spec list graphic for the ASRock H110M-STX above. As you can see, beyond the processor choice options you can customise your storage thanks to the 2x SATA 3 and an M.2 SSD slot, and you can configure your RAM with the 2x DDR4 2133MHz SODIMM slots available. The motherboard features 3x USB 3.0 ports and a single USB 3.0 Type-C connector.

    ASRock has developed its product further and built a barebone system around it called the ASRock H110M-STX MINI PC. This PC, pictured above left, measures 1.92 litres (155 x 155 x 80mm). ASRock hasn't given any indications about pricing and availability. Intel had originally touted the 5x5 as being capable of "sub 1 litre system volume," so ASRock has nearly doubled that size.
    Looking at the ECS H110SU-02, it is basically the same spec as the above described ASRock motherboard. I note that it lacks the VGA connector offered by ASRock and has one less SATA 3 port. However according to Maximum PC it is simply "an engineering sample" at this time.

    If you are interested in the Mini-STX form factor, there was another product at CES last week that might appeal. Silverstone was showing off a 'proof of concept' chassis, as highlighted by Tom's Hardware. However the chassis didn't even have a name yet, never mind price or availability date.

    Pelas imagens sim.





    Gigabyte presents a barbershop quartet of Xeon D mobos

    For most gerbils, Gigabyte is a name associated with consumer-grade motherboards and graphics cards. However, the company has always operated in the server arena, too, and it's showing what it can do with four motherboards built around Intel's Xeon D products.
    These motherboards don't have a standard socketed CPU and chipset setup—Xeon Ds are systems-on-a-chip (SoCs). The mobos can take up to 128GB of ECC DDR4 memory with a maximum speed of 2133 MT/s. Storage is handled by six SATA 6Gbps ports, one of them with SATA DOM support. An Intel I210 controller offers two Gigabit Ethernet ports for networking needs. A third Ethernet port handles remote management duties, in tandem with an ASpeed AST2400 controller and Avocent's MergePoint IPMI 2.0 software.
    The new models differ in CPU power and network connectivity. The MB10-DS1 and MB10-DS4 motherboards include a Xeon D-1521 SoC, whose CPU portion is a four-core, eight-thread unit with 6MB of cache. That chip runs at 2.4GHz base and 2.7GHz boost clocks. While the MB10-DS1 relies on dual Gigabit Ethernet for connectivity, the MB10-DS4 brings out the big guns: two extra SFP+ 10GbE ports, courtesy of a Cortina CS4227 controller.
    Should the Xeon D-1521's four cores not suffice for your needs, Gigabyte has you covered. The firm also offers the MB10-DS0 and MB10-DS3 models with Xeon D-1541 SoCs, which have an eight-core, 16-thread CPU with 12MB of cache and clocks ranging from 2.1GHz to 2.7GHz. As with the two models mentioned above, the MB10-DS0 has dual GbE connectivity, while the MB10-DS3 adds two 10GbE ports on top of that.
    I'm entertaining thoughts of grabbing one of these to handle file storage and virtual machine hosting in my home. I bet more than a couple gerbils are thinking the same.

    Build log: we put together a muscular Breadbox

    Mini-ITX with maximum performance


    As a system builder, Mini-ITX systems represent one of the more intriguing frontiers of the PC for me these days. Where ATX PCs are largely a solved problem (at least if you're building from our System Guides), Mini-ITX boxes still require careful parts selection and a high tolerance for frustration when those parts don't go together as expected. That difficulty makes the payoff from building a tiny-yet-powerful system all the sweeter, though.
    The Mini-ITX system—or Breadbox—I'm building today is especially sweet. I got to select some of the finest parts from the folks at Gigabyte, OCZ, EVGA, G.Skill, and Logitech to put together a powerful system that'd be equally at home in a dorm room, home theater, or anywhere else a big ATX mid- or full-tower just wouldn't fit. This system is also my first crack ever at installing a custom liquid-cooling loop in a PC. Read on to find out how it went.
    Core components
    CPU: Intel Core i5-6600K
    The theme of my take on the Breadbox might be best described as "power without excess," and Intel's Core i5-6600K CPU fits that mantra perfectly. This chip has four Skylake cores clocked at 3.5GHz base and 3.9GHz Turbo speeds, and its unlocked multiplier might let us wring out even more clock speed with some tweaking.
    Generally speaking, Skylake chips give us higher performance and efficiency compared to similarly-specced Haswell CPUs. More importantly, the accompanying Z170 platform gives us a wealth of PCIe 3.0 lanes for connecting storage devices like M.2 PCIe SSDs and other high-speed peripherals.
    Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z170N-Gaming 5
    Gigabyte's GA-Z170N-Gaming 5 motherboard will serve as the foundation for the Breadbox's Core i5-6600K and its other bits. This tricked-out board comes with lots of stuff I like to see in a Mini-ITX mobo. Built-in wireless networking and Bluetooth 4.2 support, courtesy of an Intel wireless card, mean we don't have to waste precious USB ports adding those features. Gamers who don't mind plugging in an Ethernet cable will probably enjoy the board's Killer E2200 NIC and its potentially beneficial software suite.
    This board's Realtek ALC1150 codec should produce high-quality analog audio, and an Intel Alpine Ridge-powered USB 3.1 Type-C port means this board is ready for high-speed connectivity with next-generation peripherals. Gigabyte even sneaks in an M.2 slot on the back of the board with four lanes of PCIe Gen3 connectivity for next-gen SSDs.
    One thing I would have liked to see on this board is more fan headers. One CPU fan header and one system fan header just don't cut it for an enthusiast-class system these days, even for a Mini-ITX box. Fan splitters and a Fan Mate can help, but for a motherboard fan control addict like myself, more headers are the only true answer. Still, this is a sweet-looking, feature-packed board that I'm happy to have powering my Breadbox.
    Memory: G.Skill Trident Z 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4-3000
    No PC would be complete without RAM, and G.Skill provided me with a Mercedes of a kit for this build. Skylake CPUs officially demand DDR4-2133 at 1.2V, but we can do better. Feast your eyes on a 16GB kit of the company's Trident Z DDR4-3000 memory.
    It's rare that I get excited about the aesthetics of a RAM kit, but these Trident Z sticks deserve to be called eye candy. The classy black-and-silver aluminum heat spreaders rate a cut above the average DIMM, and some subtle fins and a red stripe on the top of each stick should draw attention to our build's RAM slots without searing the eye. These DIMMs demand to be held and examined, and it's a shame they'll be mostly obscured in a Mini-ITX build.
    Like I said, I'm not usually one to recommend more expensive RAM than run-of-the-mill kits, but these Trident Z sticks are just nice. Look how well they fit in with the aesthetic of the black-and-red GA-Z170N-Gaming 5:
    15-16-16-35 timings are nothing to sniff at in a 3000 MT/s kit, either, and XMP 2.0 support should let us set up our system to support this kit's faster speed (and 1.35V power requirements) in the motherboard's firmware with just a couple clicks.
    Graphics: Gigabyte GeForce GTX 970 GV-N970IXOC-4GD
    Since the Breadbox is a small-form-factor system, I sadly don't have room for a pair of GeForce GTX 980s or something similarly crazy. Gigabyte does have a stubby GTX 970 in its parts catalog, though, and that's the card I asked them to send me. Like the Core i5-6600K, the GTX 970 gives us plenty of performance without going overboard.
    This 6.6" (168 mm) card is perfect for mini-ITX systems like my Breadbox, and its modest thermal and power requirements comport with the needs of compact systems. Despite the single-fan cooler, Gigabyte still gives this card a nice push to 1101MHz base and 1241MHz boost clocks (as long as you enable the right checkbox in the company's OC Guru II utility). Unlike bigger GTX 970s, this card only needs a single eight-pin power input.

    Shuttle XPC SH170R6 Barebone Desktop review - Introduction

    Shuttle XPC SH170R6 CUBE Barebone
    Build yourself an affordable (HT)PC barebone on socket 1151
    Shuttle has a long history with many kinds of pre-configured PCs and barebones, in many flavors, features and options. In this article we review their all new XPC SH170R6 Barebone Desktop from their CUBE series. A barebone basically entails a chassis/casing, motherboard, power supply and Shuttle I.C.E. heatpipe cooling system. On your end you add storage, memory and a processor, and you are good to go.
    The advantage of a product like shuttle offers is to be found in value and hey, you can build yourself a spiffy and quite powerful PC for work/net/htpc usage. The (HT)PC barebone we test today is the all new model XPC SH170R6, it is a socket 1151 product meaning you can fit it with the latest dual and quad core Core i3, i5 and even Core i7 processors, they ned to be from the Skylake generation. Yes you could insert say a Core i5 6600 or Core i7 6700 in this setup, creating an incredibly powerful system. In fact we'll do exactly that, we'll house the Skylake Core i5 6600 in this product.
    The XPC SH170R6 motherboard is based on a H170 chipset, meaning you get most of the features and functionality from the Z170 platform, yet scrap the tweaking and overclocking functions. That also means that K model processors is not something you should spend you money on as you cannot OC them anyway. The H170 chipset absed motherboard however offers plenty of features for both internal and external connectivity. For example you will spot two DisplayPort 1.2 connectors (1x support for one Ultra HD display), an HDMI port, six USB 3.0 ports, four SATA3 ports, an eSATA 6 Gb/s port, Gigabit Ethernet, and 8-channel HD audio. There's also space a for an 1x Mini-PCIe Half-Size slot for a WLAN card (optional though). Very interesting is the inclusion of a 1x M.2 2280 supports PCIe 3.0 x4 slot. Meaning you can even fully use say an NVMe enabled Samsung 950 Pro M.2. SSD in there, which we'll test at full speed. The chassis itself offers room for a 5.25-inch optical drives, and two 3.5-inch drives (one optical externally accessible). The unit is pretty far out and comes fitted with a SFF 300 Watt power supply (rated 80 PLUS Bronze) as well. So try to imaging you purchase a PSU, motherboard, cooler and chassis. How much would you spend ? Well, easily over 300~350 EURO I guess. The Shuttle XPC Barebone SH170R6 you will spot already for € 264,99.
    The end-users who might be interested in a product like this need to be found in the SOHO, Net PC or even HTPC space. The Shuttle XPC SH170R6 with its small size and Cube design will fit anywhere in your work space, and if you arm it with Windows 10 you can assemble a powerful box that is easy to install and use. Armed with 6x USB 3.0, 2x USB 2.0 and M.2. you can easily maximize your PC experience. Let's have a peek first, and then head on on-wards to the next page.
