To celebrate 30 years of innovation, Lexar hosted an exclusive media tour of their manufacturing and R&D facilities in China. This deep dive explores the synergy between Lexar and Longsys, the intricacies of the Longforce packaging process, and the rigorous quality testing required to maintain global storage standards.
One of the viral products from Computex 2025 was the SilverStone FLP02 that was a faithful representation of what a modern retro designed computer case should be. SilverStone is now adding to the lineup with the FLP03 featuring many of the same features that made the FLP02 successful.
One of the most famous heatsink makers is finally making the jump to AIO watercooling and has spared no expense to ensure that their NL-LC1 AIO is one of the quietest coolers on the market.
The enthusiast hardware world is abuzz about 12VHPWR connectors burning up and killing multi thousand dollar video cards. Seasonic is addressing this in a variety of ways from digital monitoring of individual wires and connectors to redesigning the 12VHPWR cable completely at Computex 2026
It is hard to believe but, MSI has been around for over 40 years after their successful launch of an overclocking ready 386 motherboard. From there overclocking has been a part of most every MSI product from the Lighting to even there new Strike Alloy keyboard.
Well, this 486 motherboard has a similar story. The board was part of a super cool Mini Tower computer that I acquired several months after selling off my existing 486 computer parts. I had already migrated to a Socket 5 based machine and really had no use for another 486 build but, I felt it would be a good platform for learning Linux and testing out some computer networking.
The computer featured in this video falls into this category. This is a 486 33Mhz mid tower that was clearly a living computer having many upgrades installed over its lifetime. I tear into the build to find the hidden gems and try to figure out what it was used for.
There is something synonymous between floppy drives and retro computing and while most of you may associate a floppy disk with a save icon they are still a key element in getting any Retro system running.
This Vintage shipping fail is brought to you by why you should always pack items correctly. When I bought this PC the listing said it came with the original box. Which is not liberty to "ship" it in the original box.
For those of us wanting to mess around with old hardware it is important to check your hardware for issues including old barrel style batteries. I picked up this board on eBay and while the battery didn't explode or damage the board it had started to leak. With a soldering iron it is pretty easy to fix.
As a PC Hardware Enthusiast I can get excited at just about anything. Turns out my playing Quake 1 on a Pentium Pro sparked a "retro kick" that brought me to RE-PC in Seattle to get some hard to find parts.
