    Computer Speakers

    Hi, FlyingWok. To date, I've been most satisfied with my speaker system from Cambridge Soundworks. Even though I've had a chance to hear many larger and more expensive speaker systems (right now, playing with Logitech's $299 Z-Cinema for a review, the MicroWorks II still really stands out in my...

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    I'd like to echo what Robert said -- for those who are interested in multi-processor machines at the enthusiast level, for whom Skulltrail is pretty much the only game in town at this point, this article hits the bulls-eye. Still, I can't help but think that at least for now, octal-core systems...

    We take a look at two aftermarket alternatives to the NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS/GTX's stock cooler, the VF1000 LED from Zalman and the Hurricane HC92 from ZEROTherm. See which one took top honors in our testing! You can read the article here and discuss it here!

    Please help me choose 5.1 speakers

    Well, of those two, I've only heard the Logitech X-540. The Creative T6100 looks good, but I don't really think you'll be disappointed either way. I can recommend the X-540, though -- what I heard when I listened to them at the local Best Buy store was promising.

    CES 2008: NETGEAR Press Conference

    Bad news for you, then - my own Netgear N router has been dropping IP addresses lately. It started about six months after I bought it. I've also had two inexpensive Netgear internal adapters go bad on me, but they each took something like two years or more. Netgear products are indeed...

    CES 2008: NETGEAR Press Conference

    Netgear's been positively humming with activity lately, averaging one product release per month in 2007 (with the exception of the holiday months.) We check in with them to see what they've got in store for us in 2008, and to put it plainly, we like what we see. You can read the article here...

    Altec Lansing FX4021

    Hey, keyboardmessiah, That's a better topic for a new thread in our Audio forum, since it could bring many other products into the discussion, and we'd like to keep these article discussion threads focused on discussion of the product that was reviewed for the article. However, you've got a...

    Man purchases truck with pocket change...

    Wow, that hits close to home for me - Clinton County, IN is just one county south of Tippecanoe County, which is where I attend Purdue (just one semester left!).

    Razer Mako

    I'm glad to hear you decided to go with the Audioengine monitors - they're definitely making some waves in the high-end PC sound market, and they're more of a known quantity, with plenty of quality reviews floating around out there. I agree - Razer has definitely handled Mako badly. Almost a...

    ASUS Xonar D2 Sound Card

    Here's just a quick update on this card and how much it flat-out rocks. For Christmas, I received a set of Beyerdynamic DT 770 headphones, the 2005-revision 250-ohm version. I was told by Head-Fi members that I was pretty much looking at an external headphone amplifier to drive these. However...

    My seagate freeagent can´t be found by the computer.

    If your hard drive is making mechanical grinding sounds, that's a sure way to tell that not only is the drive itself hosed, but there's virtually no chance of retrieving data. As you know, hard drives operate under hair-thin physical tolerances, with the magnetic read/write heads floating mere...

    Ultrasone HFI-700 Headphones

    To further comment on the headphones' "S-Logic" design, it's important to note that this involves no extra 'processing' whatsoever. The drivers are simply mounted 'off-center' in the earcups, to involve your outer ear in the brain's own directional processing of aural information. The effect...

    Altec Lansing FX4021

    The Z-2300 are 'more' speaker for your money. Go with them for now - they'll perform somewhat better (in terms of clean output) thanks to their 8" subwoofer. However, I think the FX4021 speakers have marginally 'better' (smoother, less 'boomy') bass than the Z-2300. In your situation, I'd have...

    Cooler Master iTower 930

    I ended up with the review sample of this case, and I'm currently using it as my test-bed PC. However, to make it usable in this capacity, I found I had to get rid of a lot of steel and plastic from this case. The 92mm fan behind the hard drives doesn't do very much at all, since large openings...

    Altec Lansing PT6021

    Well, The Absolute Sound liked the FX6021 speakers best out of 6 mass-market PC speaker systems they tested, and acoustically the PT6021 are the same. You don't easily come by a better 'second opinion' than that, in my book - The Absolute Sound is one of the foremost audiophile magazines in the...

    Crysis Case Mod soon

    If you could get a nice-resolution graphic of the suit's textures and do some sort of professionally-printed decal that would cover the entire side of the case, that would be Hardcore with a capital H.

    Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500 External Hard Drive

    I dunno, I kind of like the white LED.
