Review: Shuttle AK32
Introduction If you think of Shuttle nowadays, you might be visualizing small formfactor PCs or, even more likely, the massively successful XPC line of “cube PCs”, which were sold like mad, especially in the mid-2000s and are still available with recent platforms. But before the XPCs became their biggest success,...

Review: Abit KR7A-RAID

For now, the reviews found here are limited to Socket A motherboards. For the future, you can expect a neverending stream of hardware (primarily graphics cards) that I collected in over 20 years. The main focus will be hardware from ~1997 to ~2007 and I can promise reviews of rare and interesting stuff and excessive comparisons and benchmarks, which weren't done in this kind of way yet.
