When choosing a new PSU, it’s easy to get decision paralysis – especially when people sometimes say that multi-rail PSUs are “safer”. They’re also more expensive, and some people say that they can lead to more crashes (in certain cases). So… which is best: single-rail or multi-rail PSUs? That’s exactly what I explore in this … Read more
A post on Reddit 4 days showed off a really cool, sleek and minimalist FPS/system stat counter. Thanks to the power of Reddit, u/Violetmars and u/SlimDood launched this tool last night. So in this video I show off Clean Meter. I show how to set it up, how it looks, what customization options it has, … Read more
I recently had a consult call with Taran (the awesome former LTT editor) and he said that getting another monitor would be a big productivity booster. So after remembering that I had an old 22″ 1080p monitor in my cupboard, I set it up… in a slightly quirky way. It’s mounted to a 360 degree … Read more

So I decided to upsize to ATX by purchasing a cheap mid-tower case (CiT Galaxy) and a quality B550 motherboard – the Gigabyte Aorus Elite AX V2. This combination has … Read more
On paper this case seems to have it all: temperered glass, support for the main motherboards (ATX, mATX and mini ITX), a PSU shroud, various cable routing holes, an RGB strip and fan, USB 3 and more. So HOW is it available to buy for just £30 (approx $40)? I recently purchased this case so … Read more
My Homelab NAS is for storage: it has two 4TB NVMe drives (for 8TB of usable space). It has NO graphics card. It does, however, have an AMD Ryzen 7600 6-core CPU. This comes with integrated graphics which begs the question: can it play PC games? It’s clearly NOT an APU (like the Ryzen 8000G … Read more
If you have multiple computers, servers/NASes or Raspberry Pis around your home, you might have struggled with a simple problem: how to control them all without having LOADS of keyboard, mice and monitors everywhere. I recently hit across this problem after building my Homelab NAS and lugging around a separate monitor and keyboard quickly got … Read more
I decided to ‘upgrade’ to 10 Gigabit home networking as part of upgrading my content creation workflow series, but as it turns out, 10Gb can be a difficult upgrade. Achieving 1 Gigabit is a LOT easier. So in this video I discuss and show all the difficulties I faced when trying to move to 10 … Read more
