External GPUs Kinda Suck (But This One Doesn't)

The MinisForum DEG1 is the first external GPU dock that I've found to be truly exciting: it has an Oculink connection, works with any desktop GPU and power supply, and is only $99. But there's one catch -- it only works with Oculink-capable devices. Let's take a look at this dock and the state of eGPUs altogether.
