    In the market for a Quad core upgrade? Check this deal!

    Thats a great deal now for anyone looking for new CPU and motherboard. In about a month, Intel is supposed to drop prices on their CPU lineup bringing the Q6600 just under 300 dollars (US). I have no experience with that motherboard but it's based on the reference NVIDIA design, just like the...

    MWC60 still kicking [ass].

    I can't agree with you more. The large, full coverage block do look better IMO, but I can't really ever recommend them over a single processor block coupled with simple RAM Sinks. The thing I most dislike about the full coverage block I have on my x1900 is the weight. They are just downright...

    Blu-ray or HD-DVD?

    I agree with that somewhat. The living room is where the format wars are going to be won or lost. Getting them into PCs will help their gaming front but who watches movies on the PC? I know there are people who do, but the vast majority use their home entertainment centers as the media hub in...

    CoolIt Freezone cooler

    Great point Pants. The best performance of the Freezone was at high settings. This was when the TEC was working the hardest and to help cool and the fan was spinning it's fastest as well. For me, while I enjoy water once it's setup, I hate the hassle of the setup process. It literally took...

    CoolIt Freezone cooler

    Here We actually reviewed this product last November and to this date, its still the best cooler we have ever reviewed temperature wise, and by best, I am talking single digits. Read through the review if you want. I hope it helps you in your decision making process.

    iPhone thoughts

    My first cell phone was a Nokia something or other. The ones that looked like bricks with an antennae on top that ever asshole who thought they were cool (me included) had. It also had snake, something that every phone should have. No exceptions. The iPhone is dead to me with out that game...

    I once taught a Windows 98 machine to crash. It was awesome.

    iPhone thoughts

    Mmmmmm.... StarTac memories.... Yeah, analog is virtually impossible (or reasonable) from a technology standpoint. I do agree with drewd in the sense that as long as I can hear the person I am talking to, and they can hear me, I am happy. But this is becoming more and more rare and that makes...

    $10 DSL and FREE Modem

    Yes, when I wasn't getting them beers from the fridge or "bringing daddy his smokes," I was stuck growing up on dial up, and that wasn't until 1999, my senior year in high school. Oh the huge manatee...

    $10 DSL and FREE Modem

    Shady business practices aside, I am all for 10$ DSL since it's supremely faster than my DIAL UP CONNECTION! Rot in hell AT&T for not offering DSL on my road, even though I pay your slimy asses each month for a phone.

    No more Office 2003

    With MS pulling the plug on the vastly successful Office 2003, all us Office users are left with 2007. For me, this is a mixed move. On one hand, I personally love Office 2007. On the other hand though, 2003 is still a very good Office suite and if found at a considerably cheaper price, a...

    Future Proofing My Gaming Rig

    B1lk1's advice reeks of brilliance. There really isn't any point in getting a faster card. One, the price isn't justifiable and two, your GTX will chew up all the pixels your monitor can throw at it.

    Geometry Wars.. $2.50!

    I don't know how fun it will be without a pair of thumb pads like the 360 controller, but the game's enjoyment is undeniable. It's like digital crack, with trippy colors and stuff man.

    Blu-ray or HD-DVD?

    No, I was only period king once every 28 days or so. It was more of a nuisance than anything.

    Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard

    That is strange. What media player are you trying to control? I haven't had the media keys work off the bat with anything but Windows Media Player. With Foobar and Winamp, I had to manually map the keys. Let me know and I will try to help you out.

    Considering GeForce 8600GT 256MB

    We are working to get a 8600 in for review but as of now, we can't give you any info as we dont have a lick of first hand experience with it. With that said, might I suggest something like the 7900GS that Rob just reviewed? Thats a cheaper solution but a good one, sans DX10 support. At that...
