    AeroRacer Chassis Delivers Maximum Airflow with 400mm Fan

    You're darn right more power! :D Besides, you mentioned something about explosions I believe... ;)

    How-To: Make the Most of Falling Into a Black Hole

    Oddly while I would agree, their egos have been defying the laws of physics for quite awhile... ;)

    Sandra 2009 Brings GPGPU Benchmarking to our Toolbox

    That was probably the problem! :eek: A bit surprising to know AMD's Stream didn't support any of that.

    Nero 7 Ultra Edition

    What OS are you using? Nero 7 and Vista work about as well together as gasoline and a blowtorch.

    HP Promises 24-Hour Battery-Life with New Technologies

    Hm, but I'd use it for notes with my classes. No more jockeying for those valuable seats with outlets nearby (just to have some student trip over the cord), or trying to find a free booth (booth = plug) to eat at while catching up on news, and so on. 5 hours of battery life just isn't enough...

    AeroRacer Chassis Delivers Maximum Airflow with 400mm Fan

    Hmm, perhaps if you overvolt that 400mm fan just a little to give it some oomph...

    How-To: Make the Most of Falling Into a Black Hole

    Thanks for the laugh! I think they forgot to mention a human body would be ripped to shreds before they technically even "fell" into the hole though... Super-massive black holes are much more interesting. :) Is it me or is Apple experimenting with singularity devices again? No wonder they...

    AeroRacer Chassis Delivers Maximum Airflow with 400mm Fan

    What the heck... I got a really good chuckle out of this one! Once upon a time I'd have been estatic about a case like this. But these days I've learned that it isn't the sheer quantity of airflow that matters, in fact to much airflow can lead to worse cooling performance instead of better...

    HP Promises 24-Hour Battery-Life with New Technologies

    Nice, I had been looking for a image of that thing. The "catches" are a bit lengthy though, I'd really like to see one of those with a basic drive compared to a Latitude E6400. No idea how they tested, but I'd like to see it get 10 hours of video playtime... If it can play videos that long...

    Do Monster Cables Actually Serve a Purpose?

    Well, that's the name of the game. Doesn't matter if it's a bed, piece of furniture, TV, or cable. The salesperson's job is to always upsell the customer to higher-margin items so the store can receive extra profit on every sale. Businesses like Best Buy would fail in a heartbeat if all...

    High End (Non-Gaming) PC Build Help

    The build looks fine. The only thing I'd suggest is keeping an even number of memory modules... 2 or 4. Three will degrade performance. Considering prices with what they are, ya might as well just get 4GB even if the OS can't use it all. 1) The GPU cooler won't overlap anything 2) Yes, you...

    Intel Roadmaps Shows Lack of CPU Launches in 1H 2009

    As I said, the only date I've seen for Beckton is Q2'09, but I don't know how concrete that is to be honest. Beckton will be interesting in terms of gauging effects on the market, and in server benchmarks, but no one will be buying one outside of the server market. Conroe was fall 2006...

    Dell 2709W thoughts

    It does seem odd, but unfortunately there is a reason for it. For better or worse the LCD monitor industry has finally shifted stance and decided that they will adhere to proper specifications... hence 16:9 aspect ratios that fall in line with TV and DVD media, etc. From here on out future...

    Is S3's Chrome 440 GTX Worth a Look?

    Almost a pro?? I guess I'll just have to work harder... But seriously, sorry Rob! Not intentional. :D And ya already said it yourself: "...it's still going to be a hard decision to choose it over the competition"

    Is S3's Chrome 440 GTX Worth a Look?

    Comparable card? Sheesh the 9500GT costs less than that after rebate and stomped it. Then there is ATI's 4650 or 4670 or whatever card it was that is going to launch at the same price... but smokes even the 9500GT. Oh, it was this one...

    Dell 2709W thoughts

    Ah, the S2409W is the brand new 16:9 aspect ratio display, 1900x1080. From what I read it uses a "cheaper TN" panel and isn't nearly as good as the 16:10 2408WFP. Those are only $200 off the standard price for the 3007 according to the magazine ad that came in yesterday's WSJ. Guessing off...

    Intel Roadmaps Shows Lack of CPU Launches in 1H 2009

    Interesting? I'll say that translation itself was interesting... Lynnfield as "phosphorus field". :D I have seen roadmaps indicating that Intel would be refreshing Nehalem with higher clocked models in Q1 or Q2 at the same price points, which has always been their modus operandi up until now...

    Dell 2709W thoughts

    Hmm, I think I am more surprised one of these sales promotions actually was a real sale. ;) They didn't happen to have the 30" model on sale did they, out of curiosity?
