    Did you check out the review of the <a href ="http://www.techgage.com/review.php?id=3718">Corsair Voyager?</a> 4 gigs of swappable space in the palm of your hand. Imagine being able to boot a computer from one of those? lol I think that'd be a neat idea, being able to use campus pc's by...

    Ultra Products Value Series PSU Round-up

    Awesome results Rob. All the voltages were above par and kept up with the loads. That's a true test of their performance and ability. It's good to see a company such as Ultra appealing to the mainstream buyers. Now almost anyone can get a good, reliable power supply. I've been very happy with my...

    Anybody going Dual Core?

    If I ever decide to upgrade I'll go with a dual core; it just make sense. Probably an Opty :D and add on another 7800 in the process. The idea of having basically 2 computers in one is awesome. I would have went with an X2 but these Opterons are an excellent breed. For the price and performance...

    Discussions: Paying for Pain

    I feel that if I'm paying a monthly fee, I HAVE to play it. It's not that I feel like it, or that it's a great game. It's just that it's costing me money so I should get the most out of it. Another big thing is other people. If you aren't playing with a team or with some friends the experience...

    ATI acquires XGI

    This is a good move by ATI. They've also recently acquired CuTe and some of Terayon's (cable modem manufacturer) silicon brainpower. ATI Technologies announced it had closed acquisition of CuTe Solutions, an India-based designer of audio and digital media software and algorithms. The move is...

    Sounds like what I'm looking for then. Excellent.

    Vizo Master Panel and Memory Heatsinks

    I may just pick one of those panels up. I'm all the time transferring/reformatting/fixing data on our pc's at home. That looks like an excellent product which I would find very useful. Just to make sure. You can plug the hard drives in while the pc is on. Right?

    Show off your video card!

    http://www.koolance.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=174 Whoops. That's what the block I was thinking of. I saw a pic on ebay one day and I thought I remember seeing Swiftech. After some searching I came upon that block there, which is the product I saw.

    Real life Simpsons intro

    That's awesome. Good camera work. Is that possibly one of the intro's they did for the cartoon show itself? If anyone's got some info we'd be glad to see it. The clip did look really really similar to the actual cartoon. I like it!

    Proposed hardware with an eye to OC - What do you think?

    I almost went with the Asus 32x board but I read so many reviews saying that their memory and or power supply were not compatible with the board. Antec was a big ps company that Asus had troubles with. Ram was the same way. You had to get specific brands or you could expect trouble. The DFi is...

    I'll wait for that new Zalman. I like my NV5, not sure if it cools any better than the original heatsink though. Swiftech has a nice water block for the new Nvidia cards. I may look into it if or when I go with wc'ing.

    Problem With USB

    Well you could try using the original cable, without the extender, just to see if that fixes it. I really don't think that's the problem, unless one of the cables is bad. The USB 1.0 Spec contains a cable length limit of 5 meters, a cable delay spec of 30ns and a supply voltage minimum at any...

    Revolution Dev Kit - The Return of the Garage Gamers

    I agree, but I also think that by offering it at a lower price it will sell better. I, for one, can't believe how expensive the xbox360 was. I mean if you were to get everything for it you're looking at $500+. Most of the people buying these systems are buying them for the kids. Moms and dads...

    Proposed hardware with an eye to OC - What do you think?

    Just about anyone here will recommend a DFI board for overclocking. The company gives you everything you need to squeeze the most out of your system. The Opty's are great overclockers and The 165 should do very well. I'll leave the ram part alone for others to comment, but I'm guessing most will...

    Arctic Cooling Accelero X1

    Quite ingenious. Zalman continue to impress with their designs. Is there any info on if it will include ramsinks? Or is it going to cover the ram with the unit as well? That's really neat how the heat pipes wrap around the fan and fins like that. Can't wait to see what turns up.

    BTX Form Factor

    Not in a Thermaltake Armor case with a Zalman 9500 and an Arctic Cooler 5 :D. I can see that as a positive, though. Anything that increases airflow through the case is an improvement. The setup I have stays cool. The Zalman blows right over the caps being exhausted by the 120mm, 80mm, and psu...

    Extra 120mm front fan.

    I didn't realize you kept the case upside down. Does that help the airflow any? Kidding aside, that's a nice looking case. I like the clean aluminum look. The red vid card on a red board looks great.
