    Question OEM SFF elitedesk, ram upgrade with diff speed

    The machine has a 2400GE and came with 2666 speed installed. I noticed 3200 speed kits are cheaper right now than 2400/2666. I was under the impression if you put faster RAM into an OEM system then it will simply default down to it's BIOS preset but I wanted to verify first. I'm not hoping it...

    Any Dual Chamber mATX cases (like BH4) with filtered positive pressure?

    I saw the Bullet BH4 by caselabs and fell in love with the layout, but not the price, does anyone build something like this, but with more reasonable price and decent positive pressure setup. All the others I have seen mess with the air flow, or build excessively large, or just look plain ugly...

    Why are there no mobile (MXM) external GPUs?

    I've been wondering about this since before TB3 eGPUs were a thing (I think I even discussed it here before, but can't find the thread), but ever more since: why are all the external GPUs and enclosures for desktop GPUs? Of course, I understand the arguments for using desktop GPUs. They're Far...

    Perf. evaluating/comparing notebooks with sff and desktops

    Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this but I am wondering if/where I can find comparisons between different types of computers. When I see the review of the Gigabyte blah blah-950 all the performance comparisons are with other SFFs...Is there a site that could compare it with a laptop (yoga...

Can you recommend a laptop or sff powerful enough for medium to heavy PS use, little to no gaming, heavy web use and streaming/netflix I'd prefer to not go above 15" for a laptop when recommending...I'd take it to coffee...

    Intel Skull Canyon

    Hi everyone, I'm looking for some SFF suggestions to replace my old laptop. It's used for Photoshop and the usual computer stuff (no/light gaming). Currently it can't handle PS without a lot of lagging even when i have no other programs running. I like the idea of getting a SFF PC and a Tablet...
