Also worth mentioning - full aluminum bodies on everything and both keyboards make use of the silent variety mechanical switches - definitely interested.

Remember, Windows 8 is for tablets too... so the ribbon makes sense for the venerable sausage-fest that'll be playing around with the screen... double tapping... touch interface... Too crude? :p I'm kind of glad about some of the changes, but without actually using it, I can't pass judgment...

It may sound cliche, but try using a torrent instead. Torrents allow for checksums on a per chunk basis, as well as resume and such, plus you're not putting a strain on their servers (depending). The checksum is vital, since you are dealing with a bootable OS ISO image, you can run an MD5 check...

Removing an item that was originally packaged with the product, as well as factored into the original sale price, is known as Stealing these days. This being an anti-steam and anti-competitive action is just silly. Every time someone buys a console game, GameStop are selling a competitive...

Ok, this has my interest for a change. Dials are all well and good, but i do love a slider**, just feels easier to control (you know where it is without looking too). But 50 watts per channel... that's huge, daisy chain fans for 350 Watts... that's a little over the top. The good thing though...

Microsoft and online services... just look at MSN and Games For Windows Live, that'll give us a good indicator as to how well perpetual connections will handle under MS control.

After Witcher 2 came out and showed people what could be done with DX9... these measly attempts with DX11 are not exactly inspiring. Admittedly, Witcher 2 was built purely on DX9 and for consoles too, no distribution of labor problems. A game needs to be made with DX11 only to show the real...

Have to agree with Optix, 'Feedback' is more 'Rantback' than anything. More often than not, it's user error, neglecting the whole RTFM philosophy. People are more inclined to leave negative feedback than positive. There are exceptions of course. SSDs are still a new technology, a rapidly...

Yeah, the introduction of the smaller left-side modifier keys had puzzled me for a while, but these days, I find it hard to go back to the full size set. This is partly as a result of using, for lack of a better term, a screwed up design in the form of a speedlink keyboard. It' was not like...

I don't think half-wits will be spending $999 on a CPU for a system they are custom building themselves... yes, that was rhetorical... Intel has been selling OEM CPUs for a while without coolers, I can get them here, but you only save about £5 on the purchase, might as well go retail, get the...

That has to be one of the longest 'beer on a wall' songs ever... For his next trick, reciting the first 1,000 prime numbers... Also, the reason i'm terrible at maths is because of New Math... I'll let Tom Lehrer explain... http://youtu.be/Vetg7vWitTU Yes, that's how they teach kids these...

We're a few days late getting this bit of information posted but it may prove no less exciting for owners of current GIGABYTE 6-series motherboards. The company has announced that Intel's upcoming 22nm Ivy Bridge CPUs expected in the first quarter of 2012 will be a direct drop in upgrade for...

***Waves nervously***

Good old IBM, making predictions about PCs again... we all know how that turned out ;).

My standard KB is 100mA, the other is 500mA, and my mouse is 100mA... Sure, these are maximums, but peripherals suck in a lot of power already. The other thing to bare in mind was 'Variable Voltage' too, so we're not talking flat 5V here, but probably between 1.5V and 12V. The other thing...

A friend of mine went through 3 different PC builds with a high CPU temp, different CPUs, power supply and heatsinks each time. When i finally got him to install some decent temp monitoring, i was alarmed that he had been using the same GPU in each build, a 3000 series AMD GPU that was idling at...

So that's why Fox hunting was banned in the UK... all those people looking for beagles had to be diverted to the nearest Blockbuster or cinema...

8x Deltas with no fan controller... you know... because... ;) lol It'll still be +5C > room temp at idle, +25-30C at load. Put a side panel on with an internal venting GPU and any temp gains would be gone.

That's... silly, lol. Go water cooling, seriously, would need low height RAM, large case, the noise would be silly with the vibration. Typical Tt fans last about 6 months too (sleeve bearings). That cooler is just pure epeen.

Just found the link i was after, looked through TechDaddy's mod thread, he mentioned Performance-PCs, they have a DIY section and a case modding and replacement parts section, have a gander through that. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=130
