    Corsair 120GB Force Series 3 SSD Recall

    It's great to see Corsair step up to the plate in the way it has, even though the fault of the SSDs isn't a result of its own design, but rather the controller being used. SandForce will have a lot of answering to do, I think, especially since those controllers are not only used in Corsair's...

    How drunk were you when you took these? :D

    Kung Fu Cooking Girls Original animation movie

    Haha, I made it about three minutes in before I had to stop. I can respect anime and the talent behind it, but I just cannot glean what's so appealing about watching it.

    First Fruityloops trance song

    The "Fruity Loops" moniker has been gone for a while; the proper name is "FL Studio" ;-) I used the program a while ago, but would like to give it another "spin". Been meaning to create some music for ages, but due to a lack of time and dedication, I've been a bit slack. Been also considering...

    Cyborg R.A.T. 9

    I have three Ratpadz XTs (one for each PC) and love them. Little hard on the wrists on occasion, but I love the texture and smooth surface. The durability is top-notch also. Couldn't imagine using another mousepad to be honest. In Jamie's review of the R.A.T. 7, he had the exact same complaint...

    Logitech Performance Mouse MX - Part 1

    Great look so far! I appreciate the in-depth explanation of the Dark Field technology, because I was totally oblivious to how it worked before (never delved too deep into it, I just figured the lasers bounced off of each other's reflection). I never had a Revolution MX, but looking at the side...

    Wii? Maybe U... But I'm Not Sold Yet

    I have to agree with this. The first night I loaded up Crysis 2, I played for about 15 minutes and was really impressed. But it seems those first 15 minutes are when you see the best of what the game has to offer, because as I played through the game for a couple of more hours, the consolitis...

    Duke Nukem Forever Trailer and Demo Now Available

    I almost had a heart-attack. Saw DNF "NOW AVAILABLE" at Steam. Then I realized I was using the EU version of Steam's website :-( Very jealous of those who are able to play this tonight and through the weekend :cool:

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    I can't help but feel like battling a Mac fan is more useless than explaining to a child why candy rots your teeth, but here goes. Would you expect anything less? Would you go to a Ferrari salesman and expect him to be truthful about the product, and mention that 1/1,000 cars will catch on...

    FONV Mods.

    New Vegas is a game I've been wanting to play for a while, but as soon as I get close to loading it up, another game will come along or something will happen where I just don't. It's one of those games that involves a massive time-sink, so it's been tough sitting down to load up a game that I...

    AMD Bringing Back 'FX' Processor Branding

    As Metallica said, it's sad but true. For enthusiasts, Intel's chips even overclock easier, so it's hard to go with AMD. If you do, it'll be more for patronage than for what's best for your rig. That reminds me, how do IBM's chips run in a desktop PC? ;-)

    I've modded my 3850 agp bios

    Nice work on that overclock GFreeman! I admit I haven't used that BIOS editor before, but damn, does it look thorough. I might have to look for an NVIDIA counterpart so that I can force the card to run at 60% fan speed all the time (summer is here, don't need a 60~80°C GPU adding to the heat!).

    trouble with Western Digital hard disk

    Grats on that; it could have been a lot worse! Just be careful. I have used Seagate's version of Data Lifeguard in the past and even if no errors are detected, it doesn't mean that the drive is in fact fine. The last drive I had Seatools read "OK" for turned out to be bad. Seatools said it was...

    Dell XPS 15 & 15z Laptops

    It never ceases to blow me away at the value that notebooks offer nowadays. You spend a grand and get a seriously sweet machine... it's unbelievable. That 15z looks great... I like the aesthetics and design a lot. How it compares to the competition though, I'm not sure. I've been a huge ASUS...

    Apple's iCloud Gives Users Free 5GB of Cloud Space for Syncing

    That article has rather good insight into things... and it's hard to disagree. I like Bowie's quote as well... spot-on. It is humorous to think that Apple and the music industry as a whole could actually bring more revenue in if people pirate, as long as they pay this $25 per year. I admit...

    Reader's Rig Photo Gallery

    You've been an SLI fan for a while then, huh? Were the 8800 GTX's your first foray into that? I have only ever run SLI or CrossFireX for benchmarking, never for a regular machine since I never seem to be able to support dual GPUs and the other components I need just fine. Battlefield 3 might be...
