    Vantec NexStar3 Enclosure

    You can't increase the transfer speeds of an ide, no matter how hard you try. Sata speeds can't be transferred by just using a sata enclosure. If you've got an ATA-133 you won't be able to get SATA-1 speeds just because it's in a Sata case. If you want to pick up the enclosure just look around...

    What games are you all playing?

    Got DoD going most all the time. I've really jumped into BF2 lately. Played about 5 days and ranked up 3 times already. The online can be horrible, and fantastic all at the same time. Other than that... not much else..

    Chipset temps way too high.

    The Evercool Twinkling or EC-VR(?) is a common and easily performed replacement of the stock DFI heatsink. I've put one on my Expert board without a problem and temps dropped 5-6C easily, and that's with SLi cards too. Another option, change the bios so the 16x pci-e slot is at the bottom...

    Playing A Console On A PC/Monitor

    I played like that with my Gamecube for a while, through a capture card I mean. It's not fun, or easy. Managed to almost complete SSBM though. The game lag is horrible, and took me forever to get used to it. Follow the previous advice. Edit: That cable should work just fine.

    Matrix Orbital MX610

    That's one niiiicce LCD. I'd like to see color options and more lines, possibly a different button outline color, BUT, it's an excellent piece of hardware. Cool of them to include 2 usb cables, and an led panel. Nice piece Greg, great product. Btw.. Is there only an OEM version available? I'd...

    Conroe has entered the building...

    I can't afford to go for another pc right now, but Intel sure does have some nice options. Incredible performance with these new chips, and the prices aren't terrible either. A 6600 that oc's to a 6800, that'd be my pick. I'm not leaving AMD out yet. In a couple years when I build a new rig...

    Logitech V450 Wireless Laser Notebook Mouse

    Don't give em ideas Matt! No doubt it's possible though, and actually sounds like a good idea. A molded pcb with a couple layers dedicated to external use. The board could be colored or schemed. Yeah.. It'd work.

    Vantec AVOX Jukebox

    IR frequencies generally run about the same for tv's radios etc. You may be able to pick up a universal remote that would work. No promises, but it's a possibility. If there's any flee markets around I'd go there, you can probably find one for 2 bucks. RCA makes a pretty good one, and I've seen...

    E3 2006

    DRM protection is included in the downloads, but you make a fine point. If you can get the games for free.. why pay? To support a company you have come to love and trust, maybe? I'm kinda torn myself. I'm sure it won't take long until a dedicated community of people *coughhackerscough* find a...

    New Rig

    4 sticks of ram is slower than 2. The timing goes from 1T to 2T resulting in performance loss. DDR2 ram is not compatible with that motherboard. The pins and voltages are completely different. The CPU isn't a bad choice, but an upgrade to the 4400 and a 2gb kit of PC3500 or 4000 would have been...

    X-Trac Hybrid

    Wow... I use a cloth surface/foam back cheapo pad that my cable provider gave me. It's pretty small, but I like it that way. I can't imagine using a huge mat like that. And for the mouse to slide like that is just awesome. Awesome product, simple, effective review. Great all around. :D

    E3 2006

    I haven't read any new news since Nintendo changed the Revolution to the Wii. So I guess my information was a bit old. Finding a little more today I read an article containing this: And Sega titles are still in the works. Rumors around say you'll get coupons for free downloads with certain new...
