Boya BY-M1 Lavalier Microphone Review – Finally Fixing my Audio!

Marvin Gabriel

For the longest time since I’ve started my YouTube channel, I’ve had a hard time improving the audio quality of my videos. For starters, my room is quite echoey and our air conditioning unit is very loud. My first audio setup is using a BM 800 Condenser Microphone with a USB sound card on my laptop, since the USB sound card is not enough to power the condenser microphone properly, I had to increase the input gain to the maximum just so it can pick up my voice, but in…

Ryzen 5 2600X Build with Nvidia 9500GT – ShopzadaPH PC Build 2018

Marvin Gabriel

Do you think pairing an old Nvidia 9500GT with a brand new AMD Ryzen 5 2600x is a good idea? Yeah, I don’t think so as well. On the other hand, do you think getting a cheaper Ryzen 5 2400G with built-in Vega graphics and then upgrading to the Ryzen 5 2600x down the line a better option? I’m not sure about that either. These are some of the questions that lingered in my mind when I was planning for this build. I don’t have a ton of budget and I…

Rakk Anyag Frost Review – Cheapest Black and White Micro-ATX Case

Marvin Gabriel

Since I’ve started planning for my PC Build I’ve set my eyes on the Tecware Nexus M because of it’s small Micro-ATX form factor and a desirable black and white color scheme. However, by just looking into its front panel it’s pretty obvious that the airflow is somehow restricted and it being a small case certainly won’t help with the overall airflow. Luckily, I was able to find a better alternative with virtually the same specifications in the form of the Rakk Anyag Frost Micro-ATX case. Almost the same design both in…
