Conclusion
If you are looking for a very small desktop system easy to use during events and LAN parties,
the KobraLAN V1 is definitely a good choice. Despite a very small size of the Cooltek U2 case,
KobraPC managed to squeeze some powerful components inside.
In our tests, the small KobraPC proved to be fast and efficient. We tested the computer in various fields
and scenarios, comparing the result obtained with our platforms using very similar,
if not identical, components. The scores obtained in the 3D environment where it the graphics card
is most important, in 2D environment where mainly pushes the CPU as well as storage, show that KobraLan V1 is a great product and in line with our results.
The temperatures measured in games and benchmarks are superior to a normal case, however, remain on very good levels. As for storage, there is a 240GB solid state drive
which allows you to install enough games and applications.
We have found a small downside on KobraLan V1, as in our opinion, the fan located on the CPU
water block is simply too noisy. KobraPC has used a Corsair SP120, which is not
a 4-pin PWM fan, and therefore the rotation speed remains constant at maximum speed.
Now we come to the price, and KobraLan V1 has an official price of €1199, excluding shipping costs. We have tried to configure a PC using the same components with Geizhals.eu
and the price difference between the two configurations is very low, and in our opinion is more than justified.
Recommendation
Overall KobraLan V1 is a great little gaming PC. With a price of 1199 euro you will get a rig designed for events and LAN parties.
We gave the KobraLan V1
4 out of 5 stars.
