Glob3trotters: Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition
Small form factor builds have become a big part of the hardware market. With the increased demand and appeal of a compact PC, we have witnessed an increase in crowdfunded custom ITX cases. One such example is from Loque, with their Ghost S1 creation. Even early in the development stage, they used Noctua coolers to promote their product. Now, it’s Noctua’s turn to return the favour per say.

Glob3trotters: Team Group DELTA MAX RGB 500GB SSD
Team Group is pushing the limits and despite this RGB rave, they managed to do something quite cool. Looking at the basic idea, this was bound to happen and they are certainly not the first but so far their implementation is hands down the best looking option out there. Having a full RGB screen on your storage device seems useless at first glance since most users keep them hidden but if you have a case with vertical mounting for 2.5″ drives, well, that changes everything.

MakeUseOf: Portable, Powerful Solar Panel: Maxoak SP120 Review
Our verdict of the Maxoak SP120:Weighing less than 7lbs, the Maxoak SP120 outputs a serious amount of power in a convenient and portable package. You're paying a premium for the portability though, so consider if you actually need to carry it around or whether a static panel could do the job.
