Builders Take
My little itx media/VR machine is built from parts that where left over from other builds. I needed a VR capable machine for the living room so my girl knows I am home. That is why I built this.
Hey, interesting build!
Can you describe more the rizer card setup you used?
Also, how does your girl know you’re home via vr?? 🙂
This is about Mike’s build of course.
Hahahaha it was more that i am always upstairs and not with her, so nou i am with her and do my own stuff…..win win in thought.
as for the rizer it’s just a 5o mm one and i bent it a little so it would fit .
Hey, checking in again to this neat channel/website. Hope you continue this show and tell series!
I have my eye on the HP chromebox g2, I like the look of the chassis and their service manual with disassembly guide allows for ok upgrade potential. It has an easy to reach pci-e slot which is taken up by the wifi card, but would make a good riser egpu port for a build like Mike’s (GPU mounted outside).
Looking forward to seeing more interesting builds from the community!
Scratch that.
Asus Vivomini UN series (and MSI Cubi series) barebones have an msata AND a pcie m.2 slot for “flexible storage” options. Sounds easy to hijack the pcix4 slot for an egpu, while keeping an ssd on the msata. SFF egpu gold!
Will report back if you’re interested.
