Back at Computex 2016, we got our first look at 8Pack's latest creation, the OrionX, a crazy upcoming build featuring two high-end systems in one chassis, cherry picked processors with guaranteed overclockers and a ton of water cooling, all hand-built by the champion overclocker himself. Now, this system ready for …

Now having worked on getting Android apps up and running on Chromebooks, Google …

We have heard time and time again that the PC market is somehow ‘in trouble', with declining sales and fewer customers to sell to. While that might be true for OEM systems from the likes of Dell and HP, it certainly isn't the case for PC gaming hardware as the …

Gigabyte take us through all their new and upcoming products

Long gone are the days where to have a powerful gaming PC you needed to have a full-ATX case, with screaming fans and a giant power supply. Today you can get by with something much more compact, like ASRock's new micro-STX DeskMini RX system, which packs high-end graphics with a …

As interesting at CES was this year, it ended on a somewhat sour note for Razer as the company had two of its Project Valerie triple screen laptop prototypes stolen from the press room at the show. Since then, the company has offered a sizeable reward for information leading to …

Worldwide PC sales fell for the fifth year in a row in 2016, totalling 269.7 million units. This represents a 6.2 per cent decline on 2015. Analysts highlight how the most growth has been in sectors of innovation, while stagnation in others has given consumers few reasons to upgrade. Industries …

AWD-IT has delivered a budget gaming PC called Wraith that gets its name from an unlikely source, the cooler on the AMD processor. That’s right, an AMD processor. We have become so used to seeing laptops and PCs with Intel processors that it seems worthwhile emphasising the combination of AMD …

Built around the Skylake Core i5-6200U processor, the Shuttle XPC Nano NC02U5 is perhaps most interesting because it supports a 2.5in disk drive. Whereas most barebones kits typically have just a single spare M.2 connector, the XPC Nano NC02U5 allows users to install any 2.5in drive of their choice – potentially …

With Christmas fast approaching, you may well be considering treating yourself to a brand new gaming PC. However, Brexit has hit prices pretty hard when it comes to buying components – some GTX 1080s now cost almost £900, for example. So what if you want a fast yet cost effective …

There are no prizes for deducing the new DinoPC Bulldog BD3 gaming PC is built in a Corsair Bulldog chassis. We first saw this Mini-ITX case at its launch during Computex 2015 so the hardware has been a long while coming. The chassis supports a Mini-ITX motherboard and uses a …

Here at KitGuru we have reviewed a few Chromebooks in our time, but never a Chromebox. It is with interest, then, that we look at ASUS' new Chromebox 2-G084U. Featuring a Broadwell Celeron CPU and 4GB RAM crammed into a tiny form-factor, is this a compelling option for someone after …

Tackling the difficulties of getting PC gaming into the living room is currently a key agenda for many companies. MSI's take on the console-sized living room PC is Trident, which comes in a little larger than an Xbox One but features an Intel Skylake CPU, GTX 1060 graphics card and …

MSI appears to have delivered a new PC format with its Aegis Ti gaming system that we think of as Small-ish Form Factor. In appearance, Aegis Ti bears a strong resemblance to Aegis X. However, it is considerably larger and stands 51cm high. The big difference is that Aegis X …
