    Machine is finally coming together. Little overclock so far.

    Tell him that he has no right be talking about anybody's system seeing how he's running a Thermaltake Bigwater system, not to mention the fact that he's running it externally. Check and mate.

    Console gaming and computer illiteracy

    There are two types of computer users - those who are hungry to learn why and how the components and software work (regardless of what stage their obsession has reached) and those who know how to use a computer strictly for what they need and that's enough. I deal with it every day working as a...

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    The hard drive cage on the 500R is more in line with what is found in the 650D and 600T in that you can change the configuration. Move the locations, remove sections, etc.

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Stay tuned for a review on the 500R too. A little birdy told me that one should be arriving soon. The 500R is a little bit more flexible with regards to storage internally and offers another fan on the left panel so I think that it would do mighty fine for cooling. It's as if the 400R and...

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    It was just brought to my attention on another forum that there is an issue with adding 3rd party fans in the 400R. The screws included with the stock fans feature a larger than normal head that rests on the rubber isolator in the screw holes while the heads on standard screws are much smaller...

    G27 Racing Wheel.

    Oooh, nice! The only wheel I have ever used was a crappy Mad Katz back in the PSX days. It was cheap, flimsy and hardly worked. I'm interested to see how far things have progressed since I turned away from racing games somewhat.

    OCZ Technology Acquires UK Design Team & IP from UK PLX Technology

    Woah now...this is really going to make other companies have to step it up to keep pace. I liked OCZ's memory line up but dropping it for this was brilliant in hindsight given the products they have pumped out. Where are you going with this, Petersen?

    OCZ's Synapse Cache SSD Allows Do-It-Yourself Hybrid SSD

    Maybe we could ship off a Z68 GIGABYTE board to Robert if we get the Synapse in to review and pit the two technologies against each other. This option certainly looks like it provides more options for more users although I am a bit puzzled over why only half of the drive can be used even though...

    SteelSeries Sensei Pro-Grade Gaming Mouse Review

    I'm not dismissing what you say, Lucien, but my CM Storm Sentinel Advance only has one of the flaws that it's well known for even though countless others report two. Could it be a hit or miss trait of the sensor?

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    Apple Launches iPhone 4S; Introduces Siri Voice Recognition

    Happy thoughts and best wishes for a speedy recovery for your boy, Psi! I'm sure he'll be ready to talk your ear off about his new toy once he recoups a bit.

    The loss of a Visionary: Steve Jobs Passes

    As I read through this thread I was worried that it would come down to me to say it but Glider beat me to the punch (lol @ iFridge). Regardless, Jobs has been the symbol of Apple more than the actual logo since I started getting heavily into computers and technology. I'm sure I'm not the only...

    Apple Launches iPhone 4S; Introduces Siri Voice Recognition

    4S = stock drop. Good thing they rallied late to finish only .6% lower because they were down 3.6% at the lowest.

    Logos - past and present

    Some are pretty good. Xerox even made the grade. By 2042 I'm going to be an X-Men...assuming I'm still working here by then.

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    I'm just as biased as Jamie is on this one. The 600T is a delicious piece of case goodness that can handle dual GPUs and still have room to spare. Plus you can slap an H100 on the top if you'd like. If it absolutely -has- to be a full tower, I'd go with the HAF 932 Advanced.
