    Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair's Force Solid-State Drives

    Does your drive have the updated firmware, DarkStarr? If so, you should be hitting the same speeds as the Corsair drives and my Mushkin but chances are, you paid less for it. The big selling point on the Mushkin drive was the 50k IOPS compared to 30k without the new firmware.

    new build 2.0

    SB makes 1366 obsolete if you're overclocking. A $220 chip (2500K) can match a $1,000 last gen i7 chip in gaming and overclocks to around 4.6-4.8 with air. Under water I have read about 5.2 but the voltage is out of this world.

    Upgrading the TG Lab: Corsair's Force Solid-State Drives

    Aww, hell. I'll have to move to phase change cooling then since Rob will have the same level of storage tech that I do.

    Cubitek Launches Magic Cube Modular Chassis

    Yeppers. You can also attach the two smaller enclosures to the large one if you want them to be all one or keep them separate. I want!

    Do Some Video Games Push the Violence Bar too Far?

    This is no worse than what one would see in the newest Saw movie. It comes down to the maturity of the player, if of legal age, or the parents taking an active role in what their children are allowed to play. This gets a big ol' whoopty doo. Besides, give it a year and another game will come...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Gaming Speakers Review

    There's a lot of built in fluff - voice changing, on-cup volume control (dumb idea), a light that shows when the mic is muted...foolish. Quality wise, I couldn't begin to speculate. I'm thinking that they may be 5.1 with simulated/virtual 7.1 surround sound. I'm curious to know how 2 speakers...

    Corsair SP2500 2.1 Gaming Speakers Review

    For the most part, 5.1 "surround" headsets are the real deal. The Arctic Cooling set that I reviewed were great for picking up directional sounds so I'd be curious to see what Corsair could pump out.

    MVM Temp Files?

    Some people said that they should delete automatically when Photoshop is closed and the jury is still out on even why they are created in the first place.

    Did you hear about this NVIDIA Dual-GPU, Rob?

    Yep. I busted out a news story about that while CES was going on. :p Looks crazy! It's right up there with ASUS' Aries. There has apparently been "confirmed" new that this card, whether or not it has the aftermarket cooling solution, is being launched in the next month.

    new build 2.0

    I would think that you're still in good shape if what you do isn't stressing your current CPU. You could simply swap out the slowest part of your system and stay current. I'd say wait for the socket 2011 motherboards and chips. P67 pretty much made 1366 obsolete in my opinion with an...

    Problems Arise with Seagate's Momentus XT Mobile HDDs

    If you don't care about AHCI, you can just make an image. If you do, there's a registry edit that you can do that will apparently let you set it up.

    ASUS To Launch New Motherboard Box/Case Combo

    I'd let my son do a custom Crayola mod paint job.

    Problems Arise with Seagate's Momentus XT Mobile HDDs

    I like my Caviar Black and still use it for my games. They make great mechanical boot drives if you don't have the bank for a Raptor or a SSD but Rob is right. Go SSD if you can. You'll have more advanced storage tech than he will. :p

    Stompfest LAN 2011!!

    This would be hella fun to hit up if it were about 2 years earlier and I had a passport. If you can find a baby sitter and stash me away in some luggage, I'm there.

    GIGABYTE's X58A-OC: The Hardcore Overclocker's Motherboard
