    Cyborg R.A.T. 9

    Great review! I've been pondering picking up one of these mice forever... there's a lot to like. I am not sure I have the patience required for the initial setup, though :D As simple as this sounds, this is a major deal for me also. If gaming for hours on end, your pinky (or palm for that...

    Razer’s New Keyboard Is Ready To Battle the Sith Empire

    If the Star Wars theme was removed, I think I'd like this thing. Looks clean, and the touchpad/OLED buttons are a nice touch. Not sure how much I'd like it as a regular keyboard, though.

    Asetek Announces Availability and Preorder Dates for 240mm Super Cooler

    Are you saying that it's impossible for the input/output to be close and still retain an efficient design? The pump of this Aestek looks similar to Corsair's, which also has the in/out super-close to one another. But Corsair employs a special split-flow design where I believe the hot and cold...

    Google Releases Chrome 12; Introduces Improved Security and Privacy Features

    Google has just released its 12th stable release of Google Chrome, and with it comes a bucketload of improvements that make upgrading a recommended affair. If you're using a standard version of Chrome, it may have already updated itself, but if you are using an install through a repository...

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

    Nintendo announced its long-awaited Wii successor at E3, called "Wii U", and so far, its reception has been mixed. While some are calling it the best thing since sliced bread, others are underwhelmed, finding it to be a minor evolution over the original. Whatever your thoughts, one thing does...

    Sony Vita vs. Nintendo Wii U: Which is More Impressive?

    E3 doesn't end until Thursday, but it can be assumed that all of the "big" announcements have already been made, since it's rare for any company to make a late-week announcement after the initial excitement begins to die down. On day one, Sony announced its PSP successor, the Vita, and on day...

    AMD Bringing Back 'FX' Processor Branding

    Doh, thanks a lot :D It's an easy mistake to make, but generally I double-check. Didn't that time :o I like that anti-fanboi attitude... going with whichever hardware makes the most sense. That said, I'd REALLY love to get an AMD CPU back into my main rig, it'd be exciting.

    KVM switches ... HDMI?

    Should I be embarassed that I've never used a KVM switch ever? To be fair, I haven't had the need. I didn't realize they were quite so expensive though. How do the prices today match what you paid for yours ten years ago, Psi?

    Reader's Rig Photo Gallery

    That's a sweet setup, man! Is that an older chassis? Don't see too many nowadays with a bare metal interior. How cool do those dual 580s run in SLI, out of curiosity? I'd imagine that even one of those would run much cooler than the single air-cooled one I have in my rig :o Any idea of the...

    Asetek Announces Availability and Preorder Dates for 240mm Super Cooler

    This surprises me because I thought Asetek got out of the consumer business altogether. I guess things didn't go down quite for them as they did for CoolIT. Looks great, though. We'll look at getting one in as soon as our CPU cooler testing machine is all setup (should be soon).

    YouTube Adds Creative Commons License

    This is a very good thing, and to be honest I'm surprised it took them this long. After all, look at the kind of traffic this site gets, and the number of videos being uploaded per minute. The numbers are boggling.

    A Quick Look at GIGABYTE's TouchBIOS

    I have considered it, but to be honest there doesn't seem to be a great deal of interest (the traffic to this article backed that up). It might be that it's just a select few of us that are aggravated by the omission. It might be that I actually did have a headache when I last used software...

    Logitech Z506 5.1 Speakers Review

    I truly believe that if you want a GOOD surround-sound system, you are going to have to spend a couple of hundred dollars. You're only punishing yourself by picking up something like these.

    Nintendo Reveals Wii Successor, 'Wii U'

    Right on schedule, Nintendo announced its Wii successor at E3, named 'Wii U'. Whereas most console announcements have discussions more about the console itself rather than the controller, the opposite is true here. The controller, as recent rumors have predicted, features a large touch screen...

    AMD Bringing Back 'FX' Processor Branding

    Things were a lot different in the computer market when Techgage first came to be in March of 2005. At the time, AMD totally dominated the processor market for enthusiasts, and its "FX" processors were the parts that everybody wanted. But with prices hovering around the $1,000 mark, only a...

    Apple Announces OS X 10.7 'Lion'

    Trust me, the lack of printed media and a box doesn't remove $100+ from the price of an OS. Those things cost cents per unit to produce and ship to retail. Also untrue. For OS X Lion Server, Snow Leopard Server is required as a pre-requisite. http://www.apple.com/macosx/server/how-to-buy/...

    Sony Announces PSP Successor, 'Vita'

    Sony, at E3, finally took the veil off of its PlayStation Portable replacement, called 'Vita' ('Life' in Latin). It looks like a PSP, and for the most part acts like a PSP, though things are being taken to the next progressive level. Expect a touchscreen, dual analog sticks, multi-touch pads...
