    NZXT Hades Crafted Series Mid-Tower

    I had to bend one of the extra heatpipe sections down a touch to clear the side panel fan. Didn't require much force at all and it fit nice and snug.

    NZXT Zero 2 Full-Tower

    You'll be forced to do some cutting in order to fit it inside. The problem with mounting it in the rear is that the rad will interfere with the side panel and motherboard since the clearances are too tight. This chassis has an awkward configuration and quite honestly there are better units out...

    Glad all is going well Rob. I hope you're getting a few well deserved minutes of pleasure out of this business trip as well.

    How important is overclocking to you?

    For me overclocking has become more of a chore than fun. I used to enjoy extreme benchmarking then Intel took all the fun out of it. I can't believe I am saying this, but if it was more difficult it would be more fun.

    Trouble Sleeping? Your Gadgets Could be to Blame

    I am very light sensitive so I can agree with this without problem. The only light source in my bedroom is the TV, but my wife has a bad habit of sleeping lightly and turning hte damn thing on in the middle of the night waking ME up. I also have a large window that isn't properly shaded next...

    Western Digital VelociRaptor 600GB

    I don't believe there are many in the retail channel as of yet. I would expect to see them start coming to market in good quantities very soon.

    Steam Mac Beta Gets Quick Test

    I still feel this is a smart step in the evolution of Macs if they can get more games ported over through Steam. THe main draw for PC's over the Mac is gaming if you ask me. THere are plenty of people out there over-paying for Dells, HP's, etc that would buy a Mac if they had a good library of...

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    I would suggest you post a few sentences between each picture and then end with a conclusion. Take a look at the reviews we post here for a template. Also, I find that finding a clean background for pictures of a case is pretty much impossible in a normal household so you can use a white sheet...

    Bad McAfee Update Affects Windows XP

    I also strongly suggest Microsoft Security Essentials. To me, it makes perfect sense to run an anti-virus in Windows that was created by the company that developed Windows. I run it on all my machines including my laptop. I find it as un-invasive as Kougar and it does a GREAT job. As for...

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    Nice review. Good flow and your pictures were not bad at all. I, for one, have struggled with my pictures especially when it comes to cases. The real problem is they are so damn big it is hard to keep background objects out of the pictures. Keep it up, you never know......

    The Vicious Cycle of Gaming DRM

    I can't say I have had an activation issue with Windows since Vista. I have killed my install and needed to reinstall or reactivate atleast 100 times for various reasons over the years and have always been able to make a quick call to the auto pilot at Microsoft Activation and had a new install...

    Noctua NH-D14 CPU Cooler

    I've personally found AS5 to be lacking as of late for quad cores. I currently use Arctic Cooling MX2 for all my testing and I also can recommend the paste Noctua supplies as very high quality. I would say you are not gonna see a big difference, but I bet it will drop a few degrees if you use...

    Should Journalists Disclose Sponsored Trips to Events?

    I see no harm in an honest journalist disclosing this. In reality, if you ask me, it would cause said journalist to be even MORE objective with all stories/reviews with those companies so they would not be accidentally showing any sort of bias. Good honest guys would have no issue telling us...

    The Vicious Cycle of Gaming DRM

    A simple solution to thwart pirates is to just charge a monthly fee for server use to play online games. Even something as simple as $1 a month would be enough since it would cause a person to physically connect their name and identity to the connection on the server. I would doubt few pirates...

    The Vicious Cycle of Gaming DRM

    I never said I overwhelmingly support DRM. I just know that I have never had an issue with the concept it. I don't care that they put it in software and I never will. If I had issues with one specific DRM scheme I would not use the software it was protecting. And the specific issue I...

    The Vicious Cycle of Gaming DRM

    Sorry, piracy = theft. People that pirate software = criminals. You can spin it any way you like, but it is theft and a crime. I love how people manage to convince themselves it is somehow OK to steal software. I love the way they rationalize it and make it seem like they are not doing any...

    The Vicious Cycle of Gaming DRM

    As far as I am concerned the end user has nothing to complain about with DRM. I have yet to have a problem with any game I own that was not solved. I had a real problem with EA Games digital download not activating my game (Need For Speed Pro Street) due to to many installs, but they...

    Problemo!

    That PSU in your signature is possibly the last I'd trust with my hardware. I'd blame it first and if it goes it very well WILL take other parts down with the ship. Stick to Corsair, Seasonic or Silverstone if you ask me. Any good 450W-550W PSU from those companies would be far better than...
