    Typical Windows irony...

    Thermaltake Xray.... Its a Cigarette Lighter and Cup Holder.... Seriously. Dual Docks in the top, main reason I bought it. Otherwise its a bit too small. Fan in the bottom and side panel are added and sport Silverstone filters. Front fan has no effective velocity. Its a turbulent mess I...

    Typical Windows irony...

    LMFAO Hey rob atleast I know another BlacX owner I am building one up now. Though I just realized you might mean in a external dock thats always there but oh well. The right pick the side panel fan now lights up and i put a Black Tt sticker on the top fan to replace the sticker on the...

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    I am building a 5 year machine now and I bought the laptop I have now for 900 (9800M GTS/C2D 2.8Ghz) with the plan of replacing in 3 years. It will be 4 months from that when it actually gets replaced due to gaming so a little early. 2 Grand of desktop I am hoping will make it 5 years. Of...

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    Yeah I picked my Zalman CNPS9900 MAX in Blue specifically for ram clearance along with case clearance. I was offered a free Noctua NH-D14 but it apparently has some clearance issues with my Thermaltake V9 BlacX. My second choice probably would have been the Frio. But the Zalman is a pound...

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    With many many sets of 1333 and 1600 DDR3 16 GB kits (4x4GB) hitting the 125 dollar mark I decided to forgo 2 x 4GB with the future of 16. Im getting 16 right now. Cheapest Ive seen in 1333 is 100 from Gskill in the ripjaws branding. Going for corsair but everyone else has something in the...

    The Curse of the 100°C CPU

    Had a Focus towed into the dealer I worked at. No crank, no start. Pop the hood theres a damn city rat in between 2 pulleys. I didn't know an animal, of that size anyway could actually prevent a starter motor from turning an engine over.

    Pick Me A Mobo!

    I plan on getting the P8Z68 V Pro its a tad pricy but screw it. I think the lesser V model falls in your price range. There are some cheaper versions out now don't know what the deal is. ASrock and Gigabyte might want to avoid for their use of the etron usb 3.0 controller as it seems to have...

    USB 3.0 Could Support 100W Devices In Near-Future

    Needless to say there is going to be a power connector right behind your USB port stack if it does happen. I just checked and that would pretty much saturate the 5v rail on the PSU I just ordered.... damn! Can you imagine accidentally trying to use an out of spec cable.... disaster.

    Zalman VF3000F GTX 570/580 GPU Cooler Review

    I just have to say 9 dollar usb cord! Thats expensive lol. I hope it's USB 3.0. I know I know wasn't the point. Ever since Monster invited Gizmodo to do a Mono Price vs Monster HDMI test in their own labs I have been a monoprice customer. Not that I ever bought anything from monster but...

    Zalman VF3000F GTX 570/580 GPU Cooler Review

    External coolers? What? Anyways aftermarket cooling is an option, you can buy cards with better than reference coolers as is. Someone on the extreme end of overclocking cards would possibly like an air cooled option versus water. People want options and theyve been given to them by companies...

    Brink FTP

    Kinda glad they did this since i didn't really know if i ever wanted to buy it. Only played it a minute. Good impressions but probably not my kinda shooter.

    Fractal Design Define R3 Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    I see it too I assumed he was talking about the barrel distortion in some of the shots. Almost looks like smudge marks from trying to shop out the background and fix mistakes but most likely not. When I do product shots with bounce flash weird things happen sometimes when I try to blow the...

    Replacement case parts...

    Shiii would be nice to have one east side as well. With Circuit City and CompUSA little more than Tigerdirect.com for most of us it kinda hurts having Best Buy as the only rip off artists in town. Its so bad that id rather wait 2 days to a week for something i need today than pay up to 15...

    Replacement case parts...

    All depends on the case youve given little detail. Lian Li and a couple others are commonly carried by suppliers like performance pcs. Mostly ports and side panels.

    The Future Of Our TVs: 4K Resolution?

    Your actually looking at it in the wrong direction. 4 1980x1080P screens of the same pitch would fit in the area of a 3840x2160 screen. AKA Quad HD, that answers the 4x question. The real question is why 4K and well everyone likes to freaking round up. There are 4 K digital resolutions but...
