Verdict
PowerColor Gaming Station Mini Pro
5.5 / 10 Expert Rating
A genuinely compact eGPU box for mid-range cards, but its small chassis caps out well below flagship-GPU compatibility.
Sonnet eGFX Breakaway Box 550
6 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid early Sonnet box, but the 650 offers more headroom for little extra cost.
