We have something (not) big to share!

Got a new robust little powerhouse on the shelf. Meet Konsole Killer.

This little beast is meant to compete against home consoles, like the PS5 or the XBox Series X. (I didn't have a series X on hand for the photo op, sadly.) It's small and compact, easily able to slide into any entertainment center or TV stand or anywhere else you would put your console, and just like them it's made to stand up or lie down, whatever fits your needs better!

It's got a Ryzen 7 3700X processor, a RTX 3050 6gb graphics card, 16gb of DDR4 RAM, and a 512gb NVMe SSD. With these specs, it will perform right around the performance of these two consoles. (Around 10% more performance at CPU tasks, about 10% less performance at GPU tasks.) While it can't compete with high end gaming PCs, it's designed to be an easy option for someone interested in a gaming PC coming from console experience.

But unlike these consoles, you're not limited to the smaller game libraries available to the proprietary hardware. No hacking or modding needed, a full gaming PC that can play decades of games not available on the Playstation or Xbox consoles for sale. By raw numbers, it can successfully play 99% of any game ever released, and averages 83fps at 1080p. Plus it has all of the functions of a full PC that a gaming console doesn't. You can surf the web, use it for school or work, use any of hundreds of PC accessories in addition to your favorite gaming controllers, or use it to create your own content.

Play most games at higher game rates than console-locked 30/60fps, play with all the mods available to the gaming community, free online play with no monthly subscription needed, and play hundreds of thousands of indie games never released on any console.

The best part? This system is being sold for the median price of the comparative consoles, at only $750!

Motorola Moto G 5G

We were lucky to have this one in stock for the client! Only had it because a mistake when making a previous order, but it worked out well for them!

We've got another new case review published today. And... no, it's not the same case again. But it is the partner case to the previous one! Yesterday we posted our review of Classy's case, the Gamdias Aura GC11 Wood; today it's Flashy's case, the MONTECH TG3!

This part we did plan out. We got two brand new $60 cases with drastically different vibes and planned to review them mostly as a comparison to eachother. The Flashy and Classy Double Trouble builds (https://www.eagleriverelectronics.com/gaming .qg0yrvrkzotj). That plan didn't exactly pan out, as Classy's case became more of a comparison to the GC2 and the Cypress 5, but the intent remains.

This is the case that went into the Flashy side, and we did not know anything about it. We try to remain optimistic but neutral when doing something like a case review, going into it blind with nothing but the Amazon listing or such for info, so it's genuinely a shock that we like this case better than any other case we have ever reviewed and place it at the very top of the leaderboard!

Okay, where to start. How about this: If you're considering a PC case, and this one works for your needs (size/style/support), BUY THIS CASE!

Wow! This case is our very first full 5 star review. This would get a bonus star, if I was one for flouting the system.

As far as pros, the major points are so much I had to overflow them into the cons column! Never have I ever done that before. And the few cons I can say about this are so very minor that they're not worth taking any points away. But I'm getting ahead of myself.

We've got another new case review published today. And... you might not believe this, but it's the exact same case. Again!

Didn't plan this out. Totally by accident. We've ordered several new cases in the budget market lately. A few for building budget PC builds (https://www.eagleriverelectronics.com/gaming .xhyklhqixegx), and a couple for the Flashy v Classy Double Trouble build (https://www.eagleriverelectronics.com/gaming .qg0yrvrkzotj).

This is the case that went into the Classy side, and we did not know until we built in it that it's the same case as both the Rosewill GC2 that we most recently reviewed, and the Okinos Cypress 5 that we reviewed a while back.

This is another budget $60 case. The general design and feel is about halfway between the two above cases. But, unlike the Rosewill, Gamdias really didn't cheap out on the small bits. Overall, it's much closer in quality and value to the Cypress 5.

The coincidence is funny, but the case is a good one. Very happy with it overall, even if we're befuddled a bit by the coincidence and timing of it all. Don't worry, our next review (The Montech TC3 from the Flashy half of Double Trouble) is wholly different! Look for it soon.
