Awesome review Rob! I'm grateful that you did comparisons with the Nvidia 250 and 260, as well as the ATI 4870. With the exception of Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood, the HD 5770 lagged behind the GTX 260 in all the game tests. Since the price of the 260 has come down quite a bit (can be had...

Well I can give you insight into what happens at my university (since I worked at the school IT department for a while). The vast majority of students get caught using programs such as uTorrent, Kazaa, etc. At school, each student has to have their computer and IP address registered with the...

That's just awful man! How about next time I visit Pakistan, I'll bring you a spanking new 5870X2? Though, I don't know what I'm going to do with all those rupees.

Newegg seems to be the way to go. But since they're planning to go public (Say it isn't so Joe!), we might want to start looking for backups. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/online-retailer-newegg-files-for-175-million-ipo-2009-09-28 Microcenter has good deals now and then. If looking for a...

That is the single most brilliant solution to a common problem I have seen this week (last week there was some Malawi kid who built windmills from twigs and spare bicycle parts). All the more, since this is cheap and very doable. Will definitely use it when I build my first rig after this...

Hah! I don't know why any gamer would need anything more than a good CPU + single GPU solution. For example, get an i7-860 (~$270) and a ATi 5870 ($370) and you'll be able to play the most demanding games out there on high res. I don't see a need to go dual as yet. Now if you want to...

Cool pics! Here's mine: http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/1698/clipboard01wf.jpg

Could this problem be avoided by using filters? Also...ummm, should I open up my laptop and give it a good dusting as well? I've been noticing some overheating lately.

Thanks to the endorsements, I'm getting curious myself. My school already provides us with Symantec AV, I wonder if this is any better.

Haha, what about Aussie rules football? They're just as wrong as we are. Yes, and what's the deal with French Fries? They're not French!

Star Trek, here we come! I vote we put all our Klingon language specialists into the first rocket.

Lol, oops. Well once the X2's and the 5890's come out, and when the price of the 5850 drops to below $200...maybe then? :) Have you heard about the library at the tower of Babylon? The library is so tall it stretches up into the clouds and houses every book ever written, being written and will...

Shelling out $1,000 on a CPU, you bound to get burned during the next price down-cycle. It's the same as purchasing a $3,000 laptop from Dell every 4 years, vs purchasing a $1,500 laptop every 2 years. You'll be much better off and have a much better system if you choose the later option.

I can vouch for Toshiba notebooks as well. I've put one through considerable able and it's still holding up. It's a little flimsy in certain areas, but overall has held up well.

LOL! Judging by the responses here, I'm guessing most don't possess a strong belief in the afterlife?

The best sound quality I've found is from Open Dynamic headphones. For earbuds, it's all about fit and preference. I bought my brother some Shure SCL4's and he hated them. As he was using them to exercise, he preferred $25 V-Moda with enhanced bass. I've found Nuforce NE-8 to be pretty great...

Why not spend the $10,000 on a typical memorial, casket and all? :)

It all depends on your budget. Let us know your budget and we'll set you up with something great and at a good value. Some suggestions: 1. You want a better power supply. Quality over quantity. 2. COOLER MASTER Storm Scout is a good case, I wouldn't change it. 3. I would step up the GPU to...

Thanks, somehow missed that. I've purchased a much more expensive Toshiba X205 notebook and I found its build quality to be lacking. Even the newer Qosmios are very flimsy esp on the back of the screen so I'm glad Asus hasn't done the same.

must....buy....XFX
