    NZXT Announces Aperture M Meshed Internal Media Reader

    Most folks who need a media reader for their PC tend to opt for on-the-desk versions, and who could blame them? Most internal readers are hardly pretty, and in an enthusiast chassis, you need something that's going to look good. Enter NZXT's Aperture M, a new internal reader with a meshed front...

    Sapphire - Win A Compter That's So Messed Up I Won't Even Enter

    Wow, haha, epic thread title, especially given the coincidence. Truly ugly chassis. Seems one like that someone the furthest thing from an enthusiast would appreciate, and that's about it.

    Isn't it About Time We Move to 48 FPS+ Video?

    Given the rich and ever-evolving technology we deal with today, it's sometimes easy to think that things couldn't get much better. But the fact of the matter is, while we may be far ahead in one regard compared to years ago, there might be something else we're lagging behind on. A perfect...

    Why Are Hard Drives Still So Expensive?

    Imagine those who had to buy -lots- of drives (like in the dozens or hundreds) for servers and things. The extra amount they would have had to pay after the flooding would have been insane.

    10 reasons to quit your job

    I don't seek out articles like this, but every so often I feel compelled to read them if I pass them. This is a pretty good one, about quitting your job to get out of the grind and work for yourself. As someone would could never imagine going to the same building every day punching the clock...

    GameStop to Sell Tablets at 1,600 Stores

    It's official: GameStop is selling Android tablets. Last fall, the company did a soft roll-out to 200 of its stores, and based on the feedback received from that, it seems that expanding the selection to 1,600 of its stores (about 1/4th of the total at last check) is a good idea. As tablets...

    Why Are Hard Drives Still So Expensive?

    To anyone who's had to purchase a hard drive at some point in the last seven months, it's been no surprise that the pricing has been outrageous. At the time of the Thailand floods, we were queried about when we thought pricing would go back to normal; we figured summer / fall 2012. But there's...

    ASUS' P8Z77-V Premium Becomes First Intel-certified Thunderbolt Board

    When it comes to external storage, that's where eSATA makes all the sense in the world. It's on par with internal SATA, so you are not degrading performance at all. But Thunderbolt is capable of a -lot- more, and would only show its strength when running something like a NAS. If it's just a...

    4K display, anyone?

    Our friends over at BSN* got their hands on a 4K resolution monitor, sporting an actual resolution of 4096x2160. This is perfect for those blessed with 4K-capable cameras, like those offered by RED. http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/5/25/eizo-4k-display-unboxing.aspx Personally, I...

    raspberry pi anyone?

    Sounds like you are having fun :D I'd be interested to know if 1080p or even 720p HD video plays right out of the box when you install VLC. The lack of GPU acceleration might make that a little difficult, but it's supposed to handle it.

    VIA Announces its Raspberry Pi Competitor, 'APC'

    VIA has just thrown its hat into the arena where the Raspberry Pi currently dominates, with its "APC". But there's a twist here. While RPi allows you to install multiple ARM-based OSes, VIA's APC comes pre-bundled with Android 2.3 "Gingerbread". The press release doesn't state whether or not...

    Is NVIDIA Planning a Kepler Recall?

    Update: Multiple NVIDIA representatives on Facebook have shown their absolute disgust for this rumor, when otherwise they'd usually shun it as much as possible if it was in fact true. The likeliness of this rumor being proven true seems awfully slim at this point.
