Need big storage, but can't compromise on performance? At a time when 1TB SSDs cost as much as an excellent gaming PC, the obvious choice becomes WD's VelociRaptor - which not only recently received a refresh, but also a 1TB model. Let's take a look at it, and see how it compares to WD's other...

As it's been a while since I last ran CCleaner, I decided to just now and was a little surprised to find that Google Chrome was hogging 10GB, thanks to its cache. I don't have a problem with a browser keeping a big cache, but this is enormous! Alright, it's more like 9GB, but 10GB is a...

I admit that I haven't heard of a single one of these games, but for those who want to game on the cheap, this might just be the right ticket: http://www.gamersgate.com/indiefort-bundle?aff=ggnews 3079 Fortix 2 Aztaka Dark Scavenger DEMISE: Ascension Intrusion 2

Leading up to its impromptu press event held in Los Angeles earlier today, Microsoft promised to announce something too big to miss - and as it turns out, it wasn't joking. At the event, the company unveiled its own branded tablet called "Surface". You might recall that Surface is already an...

In case you plan to spend your afterlife as a zombie, it'd help to know the best wine pairings with various part of the body. Maynard Keenan of Tool owns a winery, and his recommended wine for eating off a face (a la bath salts guy), is a nice pinot noir - but not for the nose. Beer is better...

A couple of weeks ago, we posted that GIGABYTE's hicookie became the first overclocker to hit 7GHz on Intel's current-gen Ivy Bridge processors, and in effect broke the previous world record. Since then, we've been informed that this wasn't correct. Instead, both ASUS and MSI both hit 7GHz...

Summer - the time for being outside, catching some rays, getting exercise and... PC gaming? With its latest GeForce beta driver, NVIDIA "gets you ready for summer gaming", and really, what sort of person would you be to refuse the company's gift? Versioned 304.48, performance boosts of up to 18%...

Not content to sit in second place for too long, the US along with IBM have worked hard to re-secure the top spot on the top 500 fastest supercomputer list. It's name: Sequoia. It's performance: about +50% faster than Japan's K computer, which now sits in the #2 spot. According to David Turek...

By now, it should come as a surprise to no one that Linus Torvalds is an outspoken character. If you ever wind up in his crosshair while he's upset, the result isn't going to be pleasant. We've seen him tear apart projects he's had a beef with in the past, such as GNOME, KDE and even openSUSE -...

Corsair's Obsidian line of cases have long been regarded as being some of the best for their aesthetic design, effective cooling, and overall potential. The 550D changes the formula up a little bit, though, putting a huge focus on quiet computing. Let's check it out and see how it compares to...

ROCCAT may not sound like a familiar name to you, but in time, that could change. The company has been in the European market for a number of years, and has just broken into the US scene earlier this year. To get a good idea of what the company has to offer, we're taking a look at its Kone+...

Enough said.

When Apple announced its updated 15" MacBook Pro yesterday, the company became the first to offer a notebook that far exceeds a 2 megapixel resolution. Typically, higher-end 15" or 17" notebooks have used the 1080p resolution, which is an effective 2,073,600 pixels, but not content to just...

At its annual WWDC, Apple announced a MacBook Pro 15" refresh that's sure to turn heads. Let's just get out with it: 2880x1800. Yes, that's the resolution. As in, 5.184 megapixels. With that resolution, this 15" notebook has more pixels than a 30" monitor at 2560x1600. For an even better...

A Thermaltake rep posted this deal on Facebook (promo code: EMCYTZT1734). The product already includes a $10 mail-in rebate, which should remain usable even with the post-promo price (effectively bringing it down to $40). http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106188 I...

In the past, we've taken a look at the latest hardware statistics of PC gamers with the help of Valve's Steam platform, and going forward, I'd like to begin doing that monthly. Steam is currently the largest digital provider of PC games, and as such, its hardware survey provides the most...

With Max Payne 3 reviewed, how about we take a look at the game from a technical perspective? Wondering what the game brings to the tessellation table? How FXAA compares to MSAA? Whether HDAO is really worth the performance hit? We tackle all these questions and more, so read on. Read through...

Who else is watching Euro 2012? So far the competition has been quite good, and despite there having been just four games played, there's been a couple of upsets (I sure didn't expect either Portugal or Netherlands to lose to their competition). I don't have cable, so I'm fortunate that TSN...
