CoolIt has a nice alternative. It's very bright, too.

I've never bent a pin of any of the chips I've owned, unless I wanted to. How'd you manage to do that? I've bent fins on heatsinks, broken components on video cards, dropped hard drives on fans, but I've never bent a pin on a cpu before.

This is true, for now. Undoubtedly more chip and computer companies are going to start using this technology in the near future. I can see how important a company like.. say Blizzard, could use this to prevent the information from being stolen by a disgruntled employee. Any company with trade...

Technology is just getting better and better, these drives are another testament to that. A 15k RPM drive that has uses less power than a typical notebook drive? Awesome. Maximize performance and reduce power consumption. Nice work Seagate.

Sounds like they've incorporated a switchable transformer. Transformers change AC to DC by the expanding and collapsing magnetic fields passing through a coil of wire. The "movement" of these magnetic fields produce a current upon the wire. Transformers are the most energy efficient devices man...

Whoa. The technology industry is absolutely booming, and the products you've covered have been proof of that. I liked the gaming chair, that looks like an awesome apparatus. Companies just keep pushing the edge and coming out with some remarkable breakthroughs. Just wow.

I wanted to respond, but Rob is the Linux guru around here, I think. I've got a partition on my second hard drive that has a Sabayon distro on it. I like it, but don't mess with it enough to learn anything. Good luck with your UNIX course dude. I'm sure you'll learn alot.

Awesome stuff Rob! Looks like you guys were in tech heaven. I like the functions the XG station and Sideshow notebook offer. I'm quite impressed. Can't wait to check your more in-depth reviews!

How could I have forgotten DFI's board?? :confused: Definitely keep the 975X/G on you list. Newegg has the 975X LGA at about $170. As Rob pointed out in the review, the stock bios has almost no overclocking potential. It won't be until you can update to a better one will you be able to reach a...

You've kinda found yourself in a catch 22 there Sleepless. I just want a recommendation for a motherboard that is rigidly tested in its overclocking capability If maximum overclock of the cpu is what you want, then a performance motherboard is the answer. A board like that will either have SLi...

That looks more like the lcd displays of the aftermarket car radio head units. Pioneer, Alpine, etc. It's looks -really- good.

Those are some really impressive items! I'd like to see a pic of the Zalman fan controller as well. I'm sure you're having a blast over there with all those new gadgets.. I'll be sure to see what else you two turn up!

You raised a good point, though. We could do the same thing around here if you wanted to post another topic like this. I don't frequent many other tech sites, but do browse when a topic piques my interest. I'm sure we could come up with a collaborative list if such a topic was presented.

That's a pretty extensive list there Tater, looks like you've done a lot of homework. That's true in most senses, but the content you're playing must also support the HDCP. To an uninformed consumer, you said they can't use Vista without all those extra components. The fact is, unless you have...

I replaced the stock NB heatsink on my DFI Infinity with the Evercool VC-RE previously mentioned. You won't hear it over the 7800s at all. It's an easy and simple fix to the problem. My fan wasn't failing, but I knew with overclocking the temps could have been an issue with the stock fan. I...

Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays~ It's truely a great time of year, and I hope everyone is enjoying the spirit of the season!

W-what? Aww come on Rob. That ain't right. Those times are some of the best. Being around great friends and family. Well.. maybe we'll just let the ghosts of Christmas Past, Present, and Future show you the joy of the season~

That was a good clip of how the in-game functions work. I've been following the project since it's debut. It's a very original game and will have it's place amongst the rest of mine. :D

I'm not a subscriber, but a friend of mine linked me to the picture. I knew it was old, but so relavent these days. It seems the trends are coming back. We had the VooDoo series that were powerhouse gpus, but took up so much room. The VooDoo5 6000 incorporated 4 gpus and needed an external 12v...

You should have gotten a set of stand-off screws with your case. /me goes digging around for examples... You should get a set of stand-offs, the brass lugs, and good amount of the smaller screws. I've always used the smaller screws for the motherboard and drives. While the larger screws...
