    OCZ Goes Small with 1.8-inch Onyx and Vertex 2 SSDs

    If you're in the market to upgrade your desktop PC or notebook with a solid-state disk, the options are near-limitless, with new models being released all the time. For those which ultra-mobiles though, nettops or some other variant that utilize 1.8-inch drives, options have been much more...

    Enermax's Apollish Vegas fans for LED-obsessed

    For those that just LOVE fan bling, Enermax's APOLLISH VEGAS (what?) series is for you. Each fan has 15 LED points and is completely customizable to increase or decrease that number. The end result is a spiral of sorts and it looks pretty sharp. No idea on price, but the specs are in line with...

    SteelSeries Ikari Laser Mouse

    Here is SteelSeries' response... I hope it helps. There is no widespread issue with either of the Ikari mice and thus it is unlikely that there is a common denominating cause for the issues. It may be a result of one of the following issues: 1) Software level mouse settings. Certain settings...

    Even NASCAR is going 3D!

    NASCAR might bore me to tears, but it's hard to ignore the fact that another huge sport is taking the 3D route. Interestingly though, this time it has nothing to do with your TV, but rather your PC! I'll just paste the e-mail we received from NVIDIA verbatim: When the green flag is waived at...

    Thermaltake Gears Up for eSports Gaming Peripheral Line

    During a meeting with Thermaltake at this year's CES in January, the company gave us a quick preview of a new gaming peripheral line that would be released later in the year. At Computex, the exposure of this line was amped up in a big way, with numerous keyboards, mice and even gaming...

    Corsair Survivor GTR 32GB Flash Drive

    As the market begins to fill up with USB 3.0 storage devices, it might seem like we're nearing a USB 2.0 end. But that will still take some time, and as Corsair helps prove with its Survivor GTR, there's still life left in the now-aging standard. Not only is this drive ultra-fast, but it's also...

    Who's watching the World Cup?

    I am starting to wonder if the World Cup is even worth watching, because there have been some MAJOR mistakes on behalf of the refs in a couple of games, and FIFA just refuses to overturn the ruling. Last night's Brazil vs. Cote d'Ivore match was riddled with unruled incidents, such as Fabiano's...

    Vuvuzela... there's an app for that?!

    I'm sure glad it's not just me who hates those things. I first started hearing them in some matches a couple of months ago, but I'm not sure what games they were, qualifications for World Cup or something else. Regardless, they bothered me then but it seemed like no one else seemed to care. Then...

    Early Videogame Buzz at E3

    That's a great post, but I might be an oddball, because a lot of what's coming out of E3 that I like doesn't seem to be what others are stoked about. I couldn't care less about 3D, or Kinect, or any "movement" technology in general. I'm all about the games, and there's a LOT of them. Need for...

    SteelSeries Ikari Laser Mouse

    I'll e-mail SteelSeries and see if I can get a response regarding the problem.

    ASUS P6X58D Premium

    Nice purchase man! There are too many water-coolers on these forums... I am starting to feel left out, haha. I might just have to consider getting hooked up with some WC parts...

    37% of the Web is porn

    "Pornography makes up 37% of the total number of web pages online, according to a new study published by Optenet, a SaaS provider. According to the report, which looked at a representative sample of around four million extracted URLs, adult content on the Internet increased by 17% in the first...

    Using Sony's Media Go to Backup and Restore Your PSP's Files

    I'm not much of an "on-the-go" gamer, but I do appreciate a good handheld console to keep me occupied on a plane, or to help wind me down before I catch some zzz's. Although I own both a Nintendo DS and Sony PSP, it's been the latter that has taken the vast majority of my time between them...

    Who's watching the World Cup?

    Haha, I've been watching SO much football, it's insane. I almost feel like I need a break, with nine games watched since the beginning. I'm joking, I love this :D So far there's been a couple of good matches, but I can't believe the end scores are remaining so low! My favorite match so far has...

    Trojan Discovered in Linux Version of UnrealIRCd

    The reasons one might choose to use an alternative OS varies depending on the person, and their goals, but one of the more common arguments made towards using a non-Windows OS is overall PC security. It's a good one, too. Microsoft's Windows, as a market-leading OS, has been the target of...

    Early Example of Flash Being Ported to iPhone

    Despite the rather enormous hype hovering around Apple's iPhone 4G, a common complaint over the past couple of months has been the company's renewed interest in dismissing Adobe's Flash as being a worthwhile technology. Some people, including me, have simply written off Apple products for...

    Vuvuzela... there's an app for that?!

    The much-touted "fact" might just be true... "there's an app for that". This World Cup has been more annoying than any other to listen to thanks to the overuse of the vuvuzela instrument, which is little more than a $1 (to build) plastic horn that, when blown into, emits an outrageously loud and...

    Microsoft's Kinect Launching November 4 with 15 Game Titles

    Well, it's official. Microsoft's heavily-anticipated motion gaming product, Project Natal, will be launching this coming November under the name of Kinect. Similar to the Wii, a motion bar of sorts will be required, but that's where the comparison to Wii ends. Kinect's bar features three...

    Need for Speed bringing back Hot Pursuit!

    Yup, that was a great title, I loved it. Some of the challenges later on were difficult as heck though. I remember times where I'd come close to pulling my hair out :D

    MAINGEAR F131 contest

    Using the RAM to its full potential is a non-issue as far as I'm concerned... no one is going to see a difference in real-world performance if the RAM has to be used at a more reasonable speed (unless they have a specific purpose for faster RAM, which the vast majority don't). I'm more...
