The KobraLan Extreme is a mini computer based on an ITX form-factor
motherboard, created to be easily carried during events and LAN parties. Unlike the
previously analyzed V1 version, the size of the Extreme is slightly larger, measuring 356 x 242 x 362 mm with a weight of 11 Kg. This little beast uses a Cooltek W1 case, made of aluminum with good quality and workmanship.
The front and rear parts feature a 140 mm fan with white blades. The case has been customized by KobraPC, and the front panel
features the KobraPC logo while the top front of the case features a red LED strip that can be switched off.
Hardware-wise, 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,
is the Intel Core i7-4770K 3.90 GHz CPU cooled by Corsair's Hydro H100i water cooler. Despite the ITX form
factor, the KobraLAN Extreme also features a rather powerful MSI GTX 780 Ti Gaming OC
as well as a Thermaltake Toughpower 750W Modular 80Plus Gold power supply unit.
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
a system which is similar to the KobraLan Extreme using Geizhals.eu price search
engine. 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
done by KobraPC.
