    So I noticed my resting temperatures starting to creep up on my main rig that I built in 2014 It's been running 24 / 7 since it was built with an early generation H100i AIO cooler. It appears the coolant has evaporated pretty much completely. But that's a pretty good innings really. I was...

    PCSPECIALIST Mac Mini M2

    So Apple have just announce the Mac Mini running on the M2 chip.

    PCSPECIALIST Porsche branded AOC Agon 4k 144Hz monitor

    This is worth a look, very early unit so nothings finalised yet. Full handheld windows PC. A lot smaller at 6" 1080p IPS screen. $800 at the lower end though. But has a Ryzen 6800U which is Zen 3+ plus has an extra 4 GPU cores, so should perform better. Bear in mind as well, the Steam Deck...
