    BFG Tech to Cease Production of its Graphics Cards

    What can you expect when your bottom line depends on technology developed by another company and they are slow to get their next big thing to market? Kudos to XFX for having the foresight to start pumping out DAAMIT gear.

    Western Digital Prepped to Surpass Seagate HD Shipments in 2010

    When I replaced the hard drive in a customer's laptop with an 80GB WD Caviar Blue and threw Windows XP on it I couldn't believe how fast the install went. The laptop specs were far inferior to my old rig but the install still went blazingly fast compared to my 80GB Seagate Baracuda, even though...

    Download The Hurt Locker? You Could be Sued

    *does his happy Canada dance* This sounds like nothing more than a scare tactic trying to drum up publicity and maybe a few extra bucks for an average movie.

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 Vapor-X

    Old Vapor-X = voltage increases. New Vapor-X = :( I should have gone with the Asus CuCore!

    15 Interesting and Unique USB Hard Drives

    I looked quickly while I was doing something else and almost pooped. I thought, "Voltron!" Bah, nevermind. It's just Transformers. I dig the Steampunk design though.

    Revisit Super Mario Bros. with Other Nintendo Characters

    I wonder how long it will take Nintendo to ruin the fun?

    Checking Your Internet Speed's Worth with YouTube

    I already know my speed sucks and don't need another site to tell me. :p Until we get out of the apartment building with dodgy old wiring it's a 150kb/s cap. These buildings have been around since my parents were kids so who knows when or if they have redone the telephone lines.

    XFX Pushes the Marketing Envelope

    No spanks. I'm not dropping a third of my house down payment just so my e-peen can gain a bit of length.

    The Sleeper

    TD, you're the only person I know who uses a kick ass Antec PSU for a work bench. :p

    Problemo!

    I wouldn't call any 500 watt PSU SLI capable in this day and age unless you are using it to -only- power your GPU's, especially since power requirements for Nvidia cards keep going up and up. By the time you add in CPU and memory overclocking, two GPU's likely overclocked as well, any...

    Problemo!

    I'm putting Corsair PSU's in all of my customer's builds. The HX850W can be had for an absolute steal if you don't mind a non-modular PSU.

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    Yeppers. I wasn't really expecting to do a user review of the case so I had to use the pictures that I took for a build log. The case gave me so many problems that I wanted to try to let people know what they may be in for if they get this case thinking it's going to be the budget cooling...

    Looking Back at 30 Years of Nudity in Gaming

    For the excellent cinematography?

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    The easiest thing to do would be to mount your motherboard but don't install the heatsink. Use a very narrow felt tipped pen insert to go through the mounting holes and mark your corners on the motherboard tray. Then just come out 2 or 3 inches from there on each side and you have your...

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    Lots of people are doing that. A Dremel will do the trick if you get some reinforced cutting discs and another tool to smooth the edges. Some painters tape is a good idea as well. You can draw on it to mark out exactly where you want things to be. I'm sure Tech-Daddy could tell you the best...

    Thermaltake V3 Black Edition

    Thanks. So even on their "premium" cases their clearance issues weren't addressed? I find that to be really, really hard to believe with a company that is supposed cater to enthusiasts.
