Hmm, probably... :D

Eh, to bad. Would've been funnier if it was real. :D

TWC doesn't even use DOCSIS 3.0 capable hardware yet, but that is exactly how their caps work. I'm sure Comcast does the same thing. Their Roadrunner Turbo service gives you (for example) a 10Mb/s connection, but files below 100MB in size will transfer at 15Mb/s. Speedtest will show you have...

I'd be personally interested in events I could win something from or partake in myself, but beyond that I'm not seriously interested in them. I was rooting for Madshimps during the Gigabyte 2009 OC finals, Massman and Pt1t took 1st with their SuperPi 32M score but then Fugger/Vapor did their GPU...

With only 1,000 made it doesn't make sense to use many for reviews, or build many extra for review purposes since that would ruin the limited edition thing. I am just waiting for someone to mod one to look like a borg ship... that's all I can see when I look at this case design. :D Edit...

The goal of any reviewer is to build a test platform that ensures the component being tested is the bottleneck as much as possible.. It won't honestly make any tangible difference in reality but still it ensures the results are as CPU-dependant as possible. Even building a budget platform the...

Well, it's not good when your lowest end model is out-overclocking your highest end model, especially when one costs $266 and the other $999... in fact lets just say they overclock the same. Either way there is still some major issues. The only enthusiasts I know that bought 940's were because...

I presumed it was something more than just a BIOS thing... do you have a link to what actaully has to be changed to make it Mac compatible?

As you say, 24MB of only L3 cache is insane, think of how many floppies that would take. :p Even Gulftown will only have 12MB of L3 cache, not very much for six cores... Crazy, but Newegg sells quite variety of two socket LGA1366 motherboards starting from $260... Yes, two socket LGA1366...

1440x900 is a really wacky resolution, is that supposed to be a 15" widescreen? Oh, actually it's a 17" made "widescreen"... It'd be cheaper to buy six 17" widescreens and duck tape them together, although you obviously wouldn't get the stand... :D

Odd, but innovation is innovation so I won't complain. :) Gigabyte's X58 boards feature a BIOS setting for HDD discovery amongst a few other things... usually on anyone's motherboard this monitor will turn on while the GPU BIOS information is still displayed on the screen. With the X58...

Yes... except that it takes these same countries a few years before such parts become readily available if they ever quite reach "readily available" status at all beyond online ordering + expensive customs issues. :(

"Old" Book smell I can understand... at least on some level. Who doesn't like walking into a library full of towering wooden shelves full of new and old books, tomes, and enjoy that slightly dusty tome smell a closed in book room has. What I don't understand is this...

Yeah, you'd never guess Intel was milking their current dominance in the processor realm for all it was worth. :p

Wow, I guess Anandtech isn't the only one having issues overclocking these Core i7 975 ES chips. They had some "unprintable words" about Core i7 975 to the effect that there was zero reason to buy one when their retail Core i7 920's were out overclocking them... ;) The only question was if this...

I saw some photos of their comparison platform, and to be honest the way they mounted the TRUE's 120mm fan creates some questions. I've never seen anyone mount the fan that way and it puts it too close to the back case fan. So I'm sure that alone is knocking a few degrees off it's performance...

It's Zalman, they prefer flash in their products. They probably preferred it to look good more than they were concerned about mixing the metals.

It the Zalman was careless enough to mix gold and aluminum then hell yes, don't use plain distilled water like I recommended. Aluminum and gold are on opposite ends of the galvanic reaction table and should corrode easily. The fewer the additives the better the water performance in the loop...

I use an old 2407WFP, its not even the HC model that had a better color gamut but I'm happy with it.

It's a TN panel, so it's not as good spec-wise and could have ghosting issues. As long as you know it's a TN panel and are fine with it, then it's a decent panel.
