Waterproof Ryzen PC now available

If you need a rig that survives the most extreme conditions, this waterproof Ryzen PC is made for you. Because open vent holes and water don't mix, this machine is built like an actual vault: Featuring an IP65 rating, the Akasa Pascal case is completely sealed against dust and water. CPU options include the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X and Ryzen 7 9700X. The system is fully configurable with up to 64GB of RAM and 8TB of SSD storage, starting at $3,350.

Fanless MSI Cubi NUC available

The N150-powered mini PC is now available for $249 as a barebone unit or $449 as a complete Windows 11 Pro PC (8GB / 128GB). Connectivity is excellent with two USB 10Gbps Type-A ports, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, and an audio combo jack on the front panel. The rear I/O features one USB 10Gbps Type-C port, two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, dual RJ45 LAN (2.5G and 1G), and two HDMI 2.1 outputs. Cooling is another story. There’s no sign of a deliberate passive cooling strategy here. The fan was simply removed. We’ll be skipping this one.

Ultra-lean computing setup

The Intel Celeron J4125 - a Gemini Lake Refresh quad-core chip launched in late 2019 - is definitely showing its age, but don't write off its media capabilities just yet. Especially when the whole computer featuring a great heat sink case is just $198. It's still a perfectly fine option for a DIY router, an alternative to a Synology box, or a silent console for retro gaming. Designed for efficiency, this low-power CPU will feel particularly fast and snappy when running a lightweight distro. The perfect opportunity to give Linux a try!

Update: A more powerful unit featuring the J6412 is available for $209.

An aluminum pebble

Here’s our design concept for a fanless, fin-less mini PC. Let’s face it: the mainstream market isn't a fan of aggressive cooling fins and industrial-looking tech. Enter our aluminum pebble. Weighing in at 1.5kg, this sleek chassis is designed to passively cool low-power processors like the Intel N150. It’s built for web browsing, office tasks, light editing, and 4K streaming, done in complete silence and absolute style. Would you put this on your desk?

$125,000 RAM kit

This is it, we’ve reached peak AI bubble. For the bargain price of $125,000, this NEMIX 4TB DDR5 kit is the ultimate flex for enterprise data centers, or anyone who wants to open a million Google Chrome tabs just because they can. Boasting a staggering 4,096 gigabytes of DDR5 memory, it’s designed for heavy-duty server workloads and training AI models, though its CAS latency of 52 means it prioritizes massive capacity over raw speed.

Streacom SG10 as a complete PC

Previously exclusive to the original backers of the 2016 Calyos Kickstarter campaign, the Streacom SG10 is now available to everyone as a complete PC, in both Intel and AMD configurations. In the fanless PC world, the SG10 stands entirely in a class of its own. It features cutting-edge loop heat pipe technology that passively cools up to 600W of combined heat, eliminating (optional) fans for near-silent operation. This level of ultra-premium hardware comes with a matching price tag, starting at a steep $4,300.
