Who doesn't love looking at PCs that have been modded to the nines? I sure do, but I admit that I'm not one to go out and search for them, nor do I get that excited at reading through a billion page build log. Rather, I love seeing modded PC roundups, and like clockwork, UK tech site Bit-Tech...

In this digital age, keeping care of your personal security is more important than ever. Today, there are dozens or even hundreds of ways that your privacy can be compromised, and while a good portion of the sources have to do with the Internet, not all of them do. Take for example the methods...

Last month, I posted about a game I stumbled on not long before: Borderlands. This is a game that puts a major focus on cooperative play, and until I played it, I had no idea just how much fun co-op gaming could be. In fact, I regretted waiting so long to give Borderlands an honest go, because...

Hugh Hefner, 84, is set out to marry Crystal Harris, 24. Yes, he's more than 3 times her age. Can you blame him? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-12080521 I'm sure she's not a gold digger, though :rolleyes:

As more and more companies look to expand their product line-ups, we've been seeing audio tackled quite a bit. Arctic is one of the companies to dive in there, and the products we've seen so far have been noteworthy. In this article, we're taking a look at the company's latest gaming headset...

I had thought I'd seen it all. I understand when companies want to branch out, and thought it was interesting when ARCTIC began producing audio stuffs, and not just cooling. Now, the company is making remote control cars... http://www.arctic.ac/en/p/hobby/land-rider.html Not sure what to...

Fans of the Opera Web browser had reason to celebrate this past Friday, as version 11.0 launched as a stable release. There is quite a bit new to the latest version, although whether long-time Opera fans will appreciate all of it is yet to be seen. One thing that has made Opera unique is that it...

Microsoft might be the developer behind some of the world's most popular software, but that doesn't mean that all of it's software is void of problems, and that's evidenced by anyone who's ever used Windows. So it's odd, then, when Microsoft does release a piece of software that makes it...

Not wanting to end 2010 without the last word, AMD unveiled its Radeon HD 6900 cards last week. These cards bring a couple of interesting features, including a revamped architecture, improved power handling, dual BIOS support, EQAA anti-aliasing and more. With NVIDIA's GTX 570 just launched...

Ever have one of those weeks (or stretches) where nothing seems to go right? Our HD 6900 series article should have been posted last week, but wasn't due to a multitude of problems that arose during testing with our test machine. This is not the fault of the cards, but something else to do with...

While working on a couple of projects on my PC last week, one of my cats decided it'd be as good a time as any to hop up onto the chassis and rest his foot on the power button. The chassis I use, Cooler Master's CM Storm Sniper, is quite good in many ways, but if I could change one thing, it'd...

NVIDIA's holding a contest where one winner will walk away with a 3D notebook. Runner-ups will receive a copy of the super-fun Dead Rising 2. Open to US and Canada. http://news.nvidia.com:8080/t/151592/795403/7941/0/

I tend to be drawn to the color white when used in a PC, so I'm in heaven with this one. The chassis base is NZXT's Phantom, and the modder's goal was to use as much white as possible, and have black accents. I think it looks good :D http://www.overclocking-pc.fr/forums/showthread.php?t=19801

If an insider reporting to CNET is to be believed, it looks like the initial notebook offerings to employ Intel's Sandy Bridge processor architecture will be of the quad-core variety. That's right... no dual-cores at launch. This is quite the shift from previous launches, where dual-cores have...

What works at IBM, but isn't an employee? Stumped? A supercomputer, of course! Quiz questions like these are what we'll see in February, when one of America's most-loved game shows, Jeopardy!, features one of its most unique contestants ever, "Watson". No, it's not a human being, but rather the...

AMD two months ago released its Radeon HD 6800 graphics cards, and in doing so gave gamers some interesting choices. Preempting that launch, NVIDIA dropped the prices on a couple of its own models, so all in all, it was a great time to purchase a card. Last month, NVIDIA followed-up with its GTX...

When the topic of piracy is raised, it's often music and movies that come to mind, along with applications and games. But, while those things do seem to be hit the worst, there are other materials just as often traded online, including eBooks and even real products (luxury goods, namely). You...

A couple of nights ago, a program I was using told me I had 8GB of RAM installed, when I in fact have 12GB, and I just ignored it because I thought it was a fault of the program. Well, I happened to see the 8GB figure again, and sure enough, I rebooted to find the BIOS detecting just 8GB of RAM...

For fans of the Elder Scrolls series, November 2011 is going to be a month to plan for, as the fifth game in the series, "Skyrim", is set to be released. The game acts as a direct sequel to Oblivion, taking place in the fictional land of Tamriel. The game will focus heavily on dragons, who in...
