The M2N will run the 940 if I wanted to. That's a hell of a mobo.

I like it because of the bang for the buck aspect. My upcoming CPU costs about half the cost of a Q9550 but offers 80% to 100% similar performance in real world apps. I chose my mobo because it's an AM3 chipset that has been configured as AM2+ which allows more flexibility if you're on a...

I'm probably going with a 9800GT. There's a spiffy ASUS version for sub $75 after MIR that supports tri-SLI. Tri SLI and the core unlocker and upcoming support for 6 core AMD's all added up to a must have. When 3 and 4 (5 maybe?) core versions of the 6 core Phenom II's hit the market I'm all...

How do I celebrate? By moving to quad core. I've been running an M2N32-SLI Deluxe for a while now with an AM2 X2 4000 and 7 series SLI. It's time to step up the system. I've got an M4N82 Deluxe sitting in it's box waiting for a Phenom II 940BE which arrives tomorrow. After I can round up a...

I didn't set a password on Vista or 7 and it logs into my user account when I power up.

Personally, once I'm dead I really don't have much stake in what happens. For all I care they could toss me in a 'fridge box and take me to the local landfill. Although I've often thought it'd be funny to to specify that I want to be buried vertically... just to be as difficult in death as I...

Actually there used to be a site that had topless women doing both pictoral and video reviews. The name eludes me now but they had tons of pr0n.

Where are you located? I'd look for something else, the Dark Power Pro is an ancient design from nearly a decade ago. Get a new design PSU.

They did away with the power brick? That's bogus. I'm willing to bet that the price didn't drop to reflect their lowered cost.

I have an MX510 corded mouse that stutters on both the X-Trac Hybrid and on my QcK+ Steel large format black deskpad. My MX700 stuttered on both. My M$ wireless mice had no problems tracking on either, they just suffered from crappy wireless abilities.

I remember seeing my first Walkman in the very early 80's, it was, for lack of a better word, awesome. I'd almost like to find one from then to have as a collectible.

I never claimed that rising to 100% in ten minutes time was accurate but it shows that the UPS will, indeed, reach 100%, not stay below it. Also, if the $400 1500VA APC is superior to the $160 2000VA Ultra why is it that the Ultra did, indeed, have the superior run time? Your own testing...

PLC, Power Line Conditioning. It certainly sounds like it's got a bad battery, mine pops up to full from half charged in about 10 minutes, it's run everything on my desktop (speakers, PC which is in no way a Dell, 21" Dell Trinitron monitor, lamp, fan, phone charger, mouse charger and an...

As to the smell, I never noticed any smell on mine. Yes it does run warm but it's not just a UPS it also does PLC duties full time, does the APC? The dropping to 75% thing sounds like it's got a battery with a dead cell, mine doesn't do that. It could also explain why it's not lasting as long...

The heavier copper content does indeed make a considerable difference. Car amps use 4oz copper traces (which is touted as the heaviest that they can do with current technologies) to increase the current carrying capacities of the traces. It also helps the further the longevity of the amps. With...

I know what you're going through man, I lost my mom back in '05. My thoughts are with you and should you ever need a sympathetic ear I'm free.

If it was real I'd save up for a can...

Yeah, at first I was thinking it could be real but I started digging around their site and reading the blog...

Y'all realize that it's all a joke I hope...

Yeah, I did a review of that same setup here a while back. The CPU block is a lexan top with the gold plated copper base while the GPU block is aluminum. I still haven't figured out why on earth they didn't just go with an aluminum CPU block.
