    Alright, second time around PC build

    If you can't skip Tennis could you ask a neighbour to wrangle your gear and hang onto it until you get home? Couriers leaving parts is a no go for me. I'd rather make a separate trip to the depot a day or two late than run the risk of having my gear swiped, which I'm sure would happen in an...

    Can Perks Influence the Review of a Game?

    That is the perfect way to end off an article. Accountability is so important regardless of the job.

    AMD Delays HD 6990 'Antilles' till Q1 2011

    I think they're building dramatic tension. "That's not a knife. This is a knife!" sort of thing.

    THE GTX 580's ARE OUT!!!

    Nvidia = Nstupid What a goofy launch! Only fanboys are the only ones wetting themselves over these.

    THE GTX 580's ARE OUT!!!

    What I find funny is that because they cost a small fortune that 10% off coupon actually makes a difference instead of most of them that save you $2 or so. 2 x 6850 = win and money in my pocket. No thanks Nvida.

    Recent RIAA Case: $1.5 Million for Sharing 24 Songs

    Maybe they need to start pressing them on DVD's instead of CD's. Have you priced each and compared them? CRIPES! Oh, and I'm surprised nobody has made a poop deck joke yet.

    Recent RIAA Case: $1.5 Million for Sharing 24 Songs

    I'm thinking the term pirating can work both ways. It may make those who are not up to speed on this thing called the interwebz more sympathetic towards the RIAA and the people who are losing money because of it and it may make those who are up to speed think that they are rebelling against the...

    CoolIT Omni A.L.C. Self-Contained Liquid GPU Cooler

    While I can understand CoolIT simply cannot make a plate for each model on both sides it sucks a bit for those of us who have budget cards but really want to push them as hard as they can. $200 is pretty high for a 120mm rad though. I guess you're really paying for the ability to swap out...

    Recent RIAA Case: $1.5 Million for Sharing 24 Songs

    Take away their cell phones and you'd have a full scale riot on your hands though.

    NZXT Sentry LXE Touch-Screen Fan Controller

    So someone over on the NZXT forums said that in order to get their fans to scale properly they had to attach the temperature sensors to the card. While I find this a very strange requirement I'll give it a shot and post once I get some free time to crack open the case.

    I wonder ...

    Pr0n sites everywhere would see a sharp decline in traffic resulting in a smut recession where hundred of thousands of porn stars are left without jobs. Sad. Very sad.

    OCZ Alchemy Elixir Gaming Keyboard

    If the keyboard cannot take more than 3 key presses it does not qualify as a gaming keyboard in my books. Other features aside like macros, programmable buttons, back lighting and such a gaming keyboard needs to be able to handle multiple commands at once, end of story. If the manufacturer...

    NVIDIA to Launch GeForce GTX 580 Next Week?

    The 450 is a screamer but I'm not sure what Nividia has up their sleeves that can compete with the new 6800 line up.

    Recent RIAA Case: $1.5 Million for Sharing 24 Songs

    How about they drop the fine down to $500? Clearly they do not care about the amount of the fine, otherwise they would not have dropped it to $25,000 at one point. They simply want to make an example out of someone to try and scare people away from doing what they did. I do not know about you...

    Borderlands - What a Co-Op Game Should Be

    Well, it doesn't quite work that way. Whoever is hosting the game will have enemies at their level. If I'm 61 and join you at 22 then the enemies will be at your level and I can rain down firey gibblets of death. I meant that there is no fun in someone bringing a high level character into a...

    GIGABYTE Previews its P67-based Motherboards

    Gah, I'm stunned. I wish I could blame it on the cold meds but it isn't their fault this time. I read an article a while back about H67/P67 not having USB 3.0 support but this was an older one, likely before all of the details emerged. I'm sure someone will roll out a mATX P67 board...

    Alright, second time around PC build

    OC'ing is only time consuming when trying to find 24/7 stability. Quick SuperPi runs are always fun to try and pull off. I managed to get my i3 530 to 4.4Ghz and ran SuperPi 1M in under 10 seconds. I think it was just over 9.5 actually. As soon as I was done a blue screen popped up so I...
