I agree that a removable motherboard tray might be nice, but given how often people have to install a new motherboard into their PC, I don't consider it an important issue. Even without it, this chassis makes installation a straight-forward affair. I admit though, that I've never, not once, used...

I agree with Robert. This is an issue we discussed in incredible detail prior to finalizing our methodology, and we deemed it that it was most fair to benchmark the SSDs under more realistic conditions. If we benchmark clean SSDs, we would not be giving our readers accurate information, it's...

Here's another potential product that might be offered if Steve doesn't announce a tablet on Wednesday: http://www.pidjin.net/2010/01/25/iwish/

This coming Wednesday, Apple is holding an event in San Francisco where it's expected to make a couple of big announcements. Even Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO, has been clear that there's something big on the horizon by saying, "We're starting this week with a major new product". Even if you don't...

It's been quite a while since I last ranted about digital rights management (DRM) in our news section, so with the recent news that BioShock 2 will pack in SecuROM, what better time could there be to rant some more? I don't like ranting for the sake of ranting, but I admit, DRM is something...

Late last week, Mozilla released a major update to its Firefox browser, bringing us up to version 3.6. This version brings a couple of new things to the table, such as improved Personas support (custom browser themes that apply instantly), protection from out-of-date plugins, improved full...

I'm a bit late on reporting this, but it still should be reported. After going 13 full quarters, posting a loss with each one, AMD managed to post a long-overdue profit during Q4 2009. That's the good news. The bad news is that it looks like the only reason that happened was thanks to...

This past fall, NVIDIA filled out the remainder of its GT200 series of graphics cards with three models. For basic computing, there's the $40 GeForce 210, while for those looking to get a bit of light gaming done, there's the $60 GT 220. And to round things off, there's the $90 GT 240, which...

Earlier this week, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer gave the keynote address to the Nashville Technology Council, which was held at Trevecca Nazarene University (TNU) in Nashville, TN. Steve, who is on a multi-city tour to promote Microsoft, joined other prominent technology professionals like...

From time to time, NVIDIA sends editors a list of upcoming PC games in order to gauge the interest level, which leads to the company's decision on which games get the focus for GeForce optimization, and also helps it decide whether or not it might want to help with the launch process, in order...

During last spring's Game Developers Conference, a company by the name of OnLive took the stage and intrigued many with promises of high-end gaming on low-end PCs, or on no PC at all. The service was touted as being a service in the cloud that would allow you to play the latest games with little...

Want to make the upgrade to a solid-state drive, but prefer to avoid the high cost of adoption? Kingston helps ease that pain with its SSDNow V Series 40GB, a modest drive that features Intel's NAND and impressive G2 firmware, which helps it deliver stellar performance when compared to an HDD...

Who's with me in thinking that episodic content should only be done when it's certain that the "episodes" will be delivered in a timely manner? I'm not sure who first started the idea of releasing games in bite-sized chunks, but so far, it seems to have worked out for few. It could be argued...

At 26, I'm not what I'd consider old, but as I was growing up, I remember my mom limiting the amount of time I could spend sitting in front of a screen, whether it be a TV or a computer. Which sucked, because you have no idea how addicted I was to Blockout on our 286! Looking back though, I...

Are you excited for HTML5? Alright, I admit that's a little bit of a foolish question to ask, given that most people who would be excited for a new HTML spec would either be developers or serious Web enthusiasts. But, for the rest of us, refreshed HTML specs mean good things. The biggest thing...

Want a good laugh? Just think back to all of those published reports that laid out an imminent death for gaming as we knew it, either for game consoles or PCs. Of course, we all know that gaming is at its healthiest point right now (although, sales were down a bit in 2009), and there's a sheer...

Ten years ago, choosing a Web browser to use on a daily basis wasn't that difficult. For most people, Internet Explorer wasn't just a choice, it was a given, because who knew that other options existed? Well, of course they did, but back then, they were few, with Netscape Navigator being one of...

Ferrari. Lamborghini. Porsche. These are just a few go-to names that people tend to mention when talking about sports cars, but for the car enthusiast, most would argue that the best cars aren't built in some mega-factory, but rather by builders who prefer to keep things as small as possible...

Haha, and I have no good excuse for this one :-( Thanks a lot for pointing that out, it's been fixed!

When Cooler Master released its 690 chassis over two years ago, we're doubtful that even it could have predicted just how well-received it was going to be. It did a lot right in terms of design and function, and with the 690 II, those two factors are pushed even further. The result? The best...
