Windows Central: GMK made a super-mini PC with impressive performance
Mini PCs can be seriously small, but I've yet to see one that matches the dimensions of the GMK NucBox with the same horsepower. Measuring in at 62 x 62 x 42mm, this is an Intel-powered PC you can fit inside your jeans pocket.

APH Networks: Cooler Master MasterFan MF120 Prismatic and SF120M ARGB Review
What makes for a good ski hill? Many skiers out there, including myself, would agree that long, well-maintained ski runs are why we come back for more. A prime example of this is the Lake Louise ski resort just outside of Calgary, Alberta. The Lake Louise ski resort has a plethora of runs that many skiers and snowboarders enjoy traveling down as most of the hills are well maintained, making for a smooth ride throughout. The runs are also very long, which is another good quality. This makes it so skiers and snowboarders can make the most of their time at the hill rather than just going up on the chairlift. There are also enough runs with different difficulties so both learners and pros can find runs that accurately meet their skill level. All these aspects are important, but one detail I have not mentioned yet is the view. Now, this might sound strange because no one goes skiing or snowboard just to see the surrounding mountains. After my recent visit to the Lake Louise, I realized I found myself staring at the snow-covered Rockies often before going down. Obviously, long, well-maintained runs are still what matters most for making a good ski hill, but I think the surrounding views of the mountains are also a memorable aspect, even if it something most people would not think of right away. Similarly, RGB lighting on case fans is something most PC users do not immediately think of when looking for a quality fan. Today, Cooler Master hopes to prove this thought process wrong with their MasterFan MF120 Prismatic and SF120M ARGB. Are these fans all style or do they have substance to back it up? Let us read on to find out!

MMORPG.com: Epomaker AK84 Wireless Mechanical Keyboard Review
Epomaker is back again, this time with a 75% layout with the AK84 wireless mechanical keyboard. It features 84-keys, only three short of a standard TKL, but with a compact footprint. Add in bluetooth wireless, full RGB, programmability for gaming, and a CNC-milled top for $69 and you have quite the interesting keyboard. Is it worth a buy? Find out in our review!

TechPowerUp: Epomaker AK84S Review - Chocolate Switches, Silicone Keycaps
Epomaker decided the 80% keyboard form factor needs more love and goes the Kickstarter route with the all-new AK84S that adds some nice quality-of-life improvements to existing 84-key units. It has more switch, case, and keycap options than fingers on my hands, including novel new switches and silicone keycaps.
