The KobraLan V1 is a mini computer based on an ITX form-factor, created to be easily carried during events and LAN parties. The size of the computer is quite impressive if you consider the components inside. The KobraLan V1 measures 208 x 233 x 331 mm and weighs 6.1 kg. This little mini PC-LAN uses a Cooltek U2 case, made out of of aluminum with good quality and workmanship. There are no intake fans, but only one 120mm fan in the rear part. The case has been customized by KobraPC, and on the front panel there is a KobraPC logo and, placed near the window of the case, a red LED strip that can be switched off.

Regarding the hardware, KobraPC decided to go for MSI's Gaming Z87I motherboard, which has all of the most common connections including WiFi and Bluetooth. Combined with the small Gaming motherboard from MSI, we find an Intel Core i5- 4670K 3.40 GHz CPU cooled by Corsair's Hydro H60 water cooler. Since the case is compact, the graphics card is also very tiny. In this case we find a rather powerful MSI GTX 760 Mini powered by a generous Thermaltake Smart M650W modular PSU.

When it comes to pre-assembled desktop systems, it is always interesting to see what it would cost to build the same PC but with components purchased individually. We tried to configure the KobraLan V1 using Geilzhals.eu. The economic difference between the two configurations is very low. In our opinion, this difference is definitely fair and justified by the assembly, customization and software installations.
