    I have never played any of the Boarderlands games - they good?

    Bang The Box! (Mini-ITX Build Log)

    Nice build, man. I have a place in my heart for MSI as well.

    Planned versus consequential upgrades

    I've been known to have intermittent issues that I can logically pin down to a local area - inside the tower somewhere. This leads me to replace some parts, then others...then I find out it was just a crappy NVIDIA driver....Oh well, at least I got a bunch of new stuff!

    Chromebooks - yea or nay?

    The chrome book pixel is quite stout - but for that kind of money, they are just too far out of reach. I was just drawn to the idea - a laptop with 10- hour battery, with ubuntu installed (if I chose) for $225. Tempting, that is.

    Chromebooks - yea or nay?

    I bought the ASUS CM 300 - I think I am going to return it. I bought it mostly because I was curious about a laptop that cheap with awesome battery life. Well, it really is a cream puff...no balls what so ever. I kind of expected this, but I bought one anyway. I was considering wiping Chrome...

    Half-Life 2 - Who is still playing this timeless classic?

    Like the title says - who? I was only introduced to this game about a year ago and am still addicted. I am a FPS fanatic, and this one may be the greatest of all time, although I do really enjoy the Battlefield games. Thoughts?

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    Update - Exactly one week since I rolled back my GTX 560ti driver to 314.22, and I have not had one single problem since. When I launch Battlefield 4 it throws up a box saying I need to update, that there may be issues because of my older driver, but it plays perfectly. I was really...

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    Thanks for the replies! I talked to a friend of mine who has the same card, (different mobo and such) but he said that he was having BSODs with the latest drivers as well, so I uninstalled the 331.82 and went with 314.22 (the one he said he had the best luck with). So far, no crashes but it is...

    EVGA GTX 560 ti Problems, I think?

    Hello all, thanks in advance for any advice. First, a rundown of my specs before my upgrade - MSI 797xx mobo, AMD Phenom II 965 quad core, 8 gb of ram, EVGA GTX 560ti GPU, 500 watt psu. I would come into my office, turn on the monitor - bam, nothing. move the mouse, press num lock...
