    new build 2.0

    Are those STABLE overclocks, though? By stable, I'm not talking about the PC not crashing over the course of a Sandra benchmark... I mean stable enough to handle 3ds Max renders, large compiles, hardcore computation, et cetera. I admit I haven't overclocked SB yet, but 4.6 or 4.8GHz -stable-...

    New GPU ...Rigth decision?

    That cooler looks effective as hell! Nice upgrade :D

    Microsoft Benchmarks Browser Power Consumption

    I bet Flash cranks up the power consumption so much that the results wouldn't even mean much. I guess the author's idea was just to make the results as repeatable as possible, and not introduce technologies like that.

    The Not So Secret History of Super Mario Bros. 2

    I don't think I've heard of that one. But I think I could list about 100 NES games that I loved growing up (but I won't for the sake of time ;-)).

    Firefox 4? Old News. Get Ready for Firefox 5!

    Indeed. To me, a major version increase should be that... MAJOR.

    I think I need a full-tower...

    LOL, specific much? A HAF X might be a good choice. I do use one for our GPU bench PC and like it. Odd thing with me though is I don't tend to ever actually look at the chassis I am building with, so I will look it over later and see if it'd fit the bill for a personal rig. Corsair's chassis...

    I think I need a full-tower...

    So, I'm thinking I might be needing a full-tower sooner than later. Internet is conking out a lot, and I almost wonder if it's due to the discrete card overheating! (Might not be, but the inside of this chassis gets warm, that's for sure). I don't particularly care for huge chassis, but I'm...

    Need for Speed: SHIFT 2

    LOL! That might be a bit busy of a game. Might as well get some motorbike racing in there also :D

    Need for Speed: SHIFT 2

    So... I admit that this game kind of came out of NOWHERE for me, because I was oblivious to the fact that EA broke the Need for Speed series into two sections - one for "sim-ish' gameplay, the other for typical NFS open-world racing. Despite being a huge NFS fan, I haven't been quite on top of...

    Mozilla Breaks Down Firefox 4 Download Stats

    That's not a bad thing per se though. Chrome is a great browser in its own right, so if Firefox takes what's good with it and makes itself even better, no complaints from me :D

    Intel Launches "G3" SSDs as the Intel 320 Series

    Well that didn't take long. After our previous post regarding the surprise launch of Intel's 510 Series where we questioned what may have become of the much awaited "G3" drives, we have our answer. Intel has launched its X25-M G2 successor under the guise of the Intel SSD 320 Series. This...

    Zalman ZM-HE350 U3 Hard Drive Enclosure Review

    Choosing the right CPU, GPU, or even SSD could be considered difficult - but so could simple peripherals, such as an HDD enclosure. These seem to be a dime a dozen, and while many consumer purchases may boil down to aesthetic value, we've discovered with Zalman's ZM-HE350 U3 that not all...

    Canadian ISP Rogers Admits to Throttling World of Warcraft

    I'd tell you that you should go work for Rogers, but if you did, I'd have to kill you :( Also, if that happened, people could force that same port in their torrent client, essentially ridding the throttling that Rogers put in place.

    Canadian ISP Rogers Admits to Throttling World of Warcraft

    Out of the "Well, that's not surprising!" file comes a story of Canadian ISP Rogers and its throttling of the most popular MMO game around, World of Warcraft. One avid WoW fan, Teresa Murphy, had gotten tired of getting booted from her game and having sluggish performance aside, and as a...

    Crysis 2....

    Ugh, that's not what I wanted to hear! I gave the game a quick 20 minute go the other night, and I have to admit that despite the lack of DX9, the game is still quite gorgeous. It might just be... alright, it is the best-looking DX9 game ever designed. I am hoping to dedicate good time to...

    Nvidia GTX 590

    I have a theory about why I didn't receive one on time, but I'll let you guys figure it out :-) Hint: Our honest reviews might have something to do with it.
