This little $239 PC has an (old) Intel Xeon processor and discrete graphics

There are two ways PC makers can offer low-cost computers. One is to use newer components that are designed to be cheap. Another is to select older components that used to cost a lot of money, but which can now be purchased at a discount.

So while many companies offering budget laptops and mini PCs have opted for modern low-cost chips based on Intel Alder Lake-N, Twin Lake, or Wildcat Lake […]

Spent a while screen shopping to see what a #miniITX build could look like. Would be rad to have something small, quiet, cool, and powerful attached behind my monitor or strapped to the underside of a desk shelf.

But no. For now, my old desktop is still running strong. Needs fast SSDs, everything else is upgraded.

Sentinel Core mini ITX board lets you use a GPU with a Raspberry Pi CM5 (crowdfunding)

The Raspberry Pi CM5 computer-on-a-module features support for single-lane PCIe 2.0 or PCIe 3.0 connections. Most of the existing carrier boards for the CM5 use that to give you an M.2 slot that allows you to connect an SSD. But the Sentinel Core is a mini ITX board that gives you a full-sized PCIe x16 connector, allowing you to connect a desktop graphics card, among other things.

The board is […]
