    Cooler Master Storm Sniper Mid-Tower

    I migrated to a HAF 932 for my home PC due to my use of water-cooling. The 590 is still a worthy case and you would definitely improve your cooling ability if you added more fans to the door of the 590. As for cable management, just take your time. Separate all the cabling and tie it down bit...

    Tip: Don't review leaked movies...

    Sorry, this guy was a complete idiot for posting a review of a pirated movie. I am speechless that he even felt it was a good thing to do.

    Cooler Master Storm Sniper Mid-Tower

    1. Front and top fans are 200mm. 2. Included fans were red LED while there is either a blue option or you can order blue from Cooler Master. 3. The stock photo shows a fan in the door but there is no fan included with the door. You do get the special screws needed to install up to 2 fans in...

    Want to save cash? Carry around $100 bills!

    I don't buy this whole idea at all. I would not hesitate for a second to break a $100 bill and I would probably just spend more because I only had $100 bills.....

    The Rig That Rob Built

    Funny thing is that I am now running the CPU he used in this build in my personal PC, LOL!!!!

    Obama administration supports RIAA's ludicrous fines

    Definitely, the tactics and punishments are horrible, but breaking the law is breaking the law and it is not like almost all people who do download music have no idea what they are doing is illegal.

    Obama administration supports RIAA's ludicrous fines

    Believe me, I don't think McCain was any better of a choice and probably would have been a worse choice (I am a diehard Republican too). All I was trying to say is that they are ALL politicians and they ALL, regardless of party, will say and do anything to achieve power and once in office we...

    Obama administration supports RIAA's ludicrous fines

    Why does this surprise anyone that Obama is nothing but a politician that used eloquent speeches to get elected? He does not have the power to change anything and his true colors are being shown in spades. He is a politician and did what it took to get elected, nothing more.

    Report: Office Depot Lies to Customers to Boost Profit on Notebooks

    Doesn't surprise me in the least. I was an assistant manager of an Autozone store and we had lots of add-ons we were basically forced to push on people. Cost me my job when I told the regional manager I thought he was an ass for the policies.

    Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

    I agree there. In fact, there is very little that will push the same load as Prime95. To me, when I want to declare my overclock stable, I want to stress it beyond any level it will ever see in real use. If it isn't Linpack stable then in my book it just isn't stable. I always use Prime95...

    Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

    Agreed on the Linpack testing. Considering the majority of reviewers are still running Core 2 Duo processors they have no reason to stick to Prime95 which is just not going to give us the full picture of how hot the CPU can run.

    Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler

    I can state with certainty that the V10 has very high build quality and I don't see any reason for any early failure. The TEC is not a high powered unit and it does have it's own 4 heatpipes to keep it cool. Also, the V10 does have the built in variable controller to only push the TEC when it...

    2.0/2.1 pc speakers

    Rob, I agree that 5.1s are somewhat overrated but don't forget there are many games that properly support 5.1. One thing I completely disagree on is that the Logitech X-240 sub is anything more than a toy. You can easily buy a powered 10" 100W sub on Ebay/Kijiji for under $75 that would...

    2.0/2.1 pc speakers

    I do not doubt you have gotten the results you desire. I am not saying it is futile to replace satellites. What I am mostly getting at is that the amplifier and mostly the pre-amp circuits on any PC based speaker system is just not up to the same level of quality as dedicated home audio...

    2.0/2.1 pc speakers

    Instead of doing that I would suggest looking for a bargain 5.1 home theater speaker setup on Ebay. I just got a some for $85 that came with a 120W 10" sub that pounds pretty hard (especially for the money). I would personally avoid PC speaker systems all together if possible. For the budget...

    CoolIT Domino A.L.C. CPU Cooler

    I cannot compare it to the Pure ST since I do have that platform. Same goes for the i7 platform. I do know that the i7 does run hotter than the Core 2 Quads so that may be part of the problem. Not sure why your results seem so far off compared to mine. If you are getting better temps with...

    Looking for a new card, any suggestions?

    For barely more $$$, this card will make that 9500GT look silly: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814140095 Getting any card in this price rance with 1GB of memory is also a complete waste since they do not have the bandwidth to use that much. The max you want is 512MB...

    NZXT Sentry LX Fan Controller

    You cannot change the settings for "Auto". In fact, I did not notice any difference in my testing since the case I used already had quiet fans and my temps stayed low all by themselves. "Auto" is somewhat gimmicky on this controller, but the other features it has makes up for that.

    Asus Xonar Soundcard Drivers!

    Sorry Kougar, I misunderstood you. I thought this was a Steamwide issue. Unfortunately I don't play/have that game to test it out for you.
