    New PC

    Relayer, welcome to the forums! Thats a good looking PC you have there. Sounds like Extremepc.co.nz deserves more than a shout out for being so nice to their customers. I have never heard of anyone doing that... especially for hardware that could be fried by the users (not that you would) by...

    VOX V1 750GB External Hard Drive

    Price is a huge concern of mine and unless you get the thing at Buy.com, your going to essentially be paying more money for less quality. I kind of feel bad for Vox actually. Well, I want to feel bad for them, I really don't feel all that bad at all. They are undoubtedly getting their gear...

    PS3 Versus Xbox 360

    Care to elaborate on what the 360 can't do outside of play blu-ray disks? How is the PS3 any better for fighting games and what FPS games does the PS3 have that are better than the 360? I don't understand how the XBOX is "garbage". It cost's less, has twice as many games, has XBOX live...

    Hyundai Genesis Coupé...

    My first car was a Hyundai. They will forever have a special place in my heart. This care looks a lot like the Tiburon (which was always over priced IMO) but it sounds like it has a little bit of pep as well. They also offer an incredible warranty as well. My car is about to give up the...

    PS3 Versus Xbox 360

    I am going to start by saying that I have hated Sony since the first PS1 as I thought the games on my N64 were better games. Then when I could get Resident Evil for my N64 and Dreamcast (best console EVAR!) I knew the N64 was better... in my opinion. The PSP has changed my opinion completely...

    NVIDIA 9800GTX and GX2 Get Greenlight

    Yeah, NVIDIA really screwed the pooch the first time around with quad-SLI. I agree with you 100%. The 8800 GT I have is perfect for the resolutions that I play at in most games and with them being as cheap as they are now (mine was under $200 after rebate for a factory overclocked card from...

    Gigabyte to develop high-end gaming accessories...

    Asus has terrible cases. This new gigabyte keyboard is ugly. It looks like the old IBM keyboards with it's slanted top section. This board is getting far more attention then it deserves IMO. I am biased as well. I might never be as satisfied with a keyboard as I am with the Saitek Eclipse...

    Are SSDs Causing Notebook Defects?

    A 200 gig SSD, I would hate to see how much that one costs. I am still trying to convince myself to purchase a 120GB for my notebook as I could really use the additional space when on the road. My current 60GB drive isn't cutting it. Even if they could get the prices closet to double that of...

    Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition

    Also, to comment on what everyone else has said... Merlin, its a toy. A great toy but a novelty none the less. gml_josea, I use two monitors at work and can never go back. Productivity is great with dual monitors. Rob, your a ball bag and I agree with you. I would rather game on my 24"...

    Matrox TripleHead2Go Digital Edition

    Unregistered... I agree and apologize for not including any. By the time I got to the writing of the review, it had been about a month since I did the testing. Check out the last page of my TH2Go Analog review, I have pics there. That said, I will work to get some pics up by next week...

    Are SSDs Causing Notebook Defects?

    Yeah, it seems a bit off to me. Dell is vehemently deny these claims too. I bet most returns have been from people who paid the 1000 percent premium, for a technologically superior drive in every way, and realized that outside of zero moving parts, there is little to show for that extra cash...

    Missouri Floods.

    I've been following this online. Such a tragic situation for so many people. Obviously not on a Katrina scale but man, it's unfortunate. I hope things get better for you. Good luck.

    Windows Vista SP1 Ships Next Week

    Installed SP1 on my notebook this afternoon... flawless. Vista now is 100 times better than Vista 6 months ago. I notice a difference. Well I think I perceive a difference. More than likely I want to notice a difference so I do... its all in my mind.

    Thoughts for new benchmark rankings

    I have never heard of LightsMark but will check it out. I would like to include multimedia benches as well because we use those in our reviews. It would give people a good idea how well their hardware handles these tests compared to new and shiny gear.

    Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Hits 1 Million Euro Pre-Orders

    Thanks for that. You made some points there and I would love to get a HD TV but realistically, a PS3 would make me happier. I can play HD games on my large (and unforgivingly heavy 32 inch CRT )TV but a HD TV wont play Gran Turismo.

    Are SSDs Causing Notebook Defects?

    Further reading states that a lot of these have been returned because of performance expectations not being met as well. I am sure there were faulty drives but it wouldn't surprise me to see people pay out the ass for one of these and then be let down because it isn't as good as the price the...

    Are SSDs Causing Notebook Defects?

    Aside from price, SSDs are better in every way possible. No moving parts, less heat, fast. I would assume it was a bad batch. OR, I don't know as much as I think I do about them. This is also quite possible.

    Intel Details Nehalem, Dunnington, Tukwila & Larrabee

    $2000 might be a bit much but who knows. By the time CPUs are to the point of incorporating 32 cores on one die, the standard everyday CPU is going to have probably half that much like we all have 2 cores now but the top end is 4. Then again, I thought Sony wasn't going to have the brass to...
