When Cooler Master released their HAF 932 full-tower last fall, it was well-received for its overall design, build quality, impressive cooling-ability and, to some, aesthetics. With the success of that case, CM has followed-up with a mid-tower version that follows many similar design cues, but...

The news of 3D Realms demise hit the Internet like a ton of bricks last week, and to say it's disappointing would be a major understatement. As a developer that's been around for over 20 years, they have a lot to boast about today. Read on as we take a stroll down memory lane, and see just what...

From our front-page news: Purchasing used computer equipment online - especially complete machines - can be a little sketchy if you're not careful. But assuming you receive the machine, and it works, you should be fine. Right? Well, apparently not if it was an Alienware desktop or notebook...

From our front-page news: When Ubuntu first bounced onto the Linux scene, it became a hit almost immediately, and even I'm unsure why that was the case. Although it's built on an already-stable distribution (Debian), the clear version and robust community must have helped propel it into super...

When ASUS asked me if I wanted to take a look at their W90 "ROG" notebook, I said sure. But, I was warned that this was no ordinary notebook, and if there's a definition for "Desktop Replacement", this would be it. Yes, the W90 indeed is a true DTR, and it even includes a desktop motherboard...

Hi all: When we posted our HD 4890 vs. GTX 275 article last month, we found an obvious issue after-the-fact. While many other sites out there showed the two cards to be quite comparable, our results favored NVIDIA overall... and this is a problem. One explanation is that the titles we're...

Hi all: When I was on a plane a few weeks ago, listening to music and trying to get work done, an idea hit me like a ton of bricks... noise-cancelling headphones. I own a pair of closed-back cans, so I already have a lot of noise drowned out, except for a few things that are absolutely...

From our front-page news:Of all the games currently in development, Duke Nukem Forever is one in particular that's been made fun of time and again. How long will it take to see a release? Forever, of course. Sadly, that might actually be the case, as it has become known that the development...

From our front-page news:I'll be honest. When I picture computer gaming, the last thing I think of is Minesweeper, but, its popularity cannot be denied. Given that it's included in Windows, and has been for a while (at least since 3.x), there are few people who haven't opened it to waste a few...

We recently introduced the newest member of our staff, Brett Thomas, who will be heading up our Senior Editor position. There, Brett will help both with site direction and also management. To help kick things off, he has a few things he'd like to share on some of the upcoming changes you can...

From our front-page news: According to a post over at Slashdot, the Windows 7 launch date has been leaked, although it's hard to say right now whether anyone should hold any credence in it. The date mentioned is October 23 of this year, a date that was carelessly thrown out by an Acer executive...

From our front-page news: In the past few months, whenever the term "PCI-E SSD" was mentioned, the company 'Fusion-io' usually came to mind first. They were the innovators where the technology was concerned, but it was only a matter of time before others followed suit, and so far, those...

Believe it or not, despite the HD 4890's launch last month, the HD 4870 is still totally relevant, thanks to ATI's current pricing structure. There's a card for every budget, and if you're willing to spend around $180, you can get hooked up with a 1GB version of the card we're taking a look at...

From our front-page news: When NVIDIA first launched their GeForce 3D Vision at this year's CES, no one was sure how it would take off, if at all. 3D gaming up to this point has been nothing more than a joke, and personally, I've never been impressed with any implementation up until I first put...

From our front-page news: From the title alone, you can probably guess what this article is going to entail, and you're probably going to be correct. But, it's good to be refreshed of things from time to time, because Linux does need some improvement in order to take over alternative OS', at...

From our front-page news: Today officially marks the 40th anniversary for Advanced Micro Devices, and what an exciting forty years it's been! The company was founded on May 1, 1969, just one year after Intel, and was formed to produce a number of "logic chips", and believe it or not, they even...

The North American regional final of Gigabyte's GO OC 09 overclocking championship took place this past weekend in the City of Industry, and we were there to take it all in. Although no world records were broken, no one disagrees that it was an exciting event, and the result is one lucky...

Hi all: I'm in City of Industry for the final "Semi-Finals" of Gigabyte's global overclocking competition, GO OC 09. At the first GO OC, which occurred last fall, the company held only one event, but in 2009, they decided to take things global. As a result, there were semi-finals held all over...

From our front-page news: If you purchase a pre-built machine today, or build your own, you can remain confident that it's going to run any of the mainstream operating systems available today. But there's also likely many of you who have old machines hanging around that you can't stand to get...

Gateway launched three new notebook series just a few weeks ago, with the MD arguably being the most interesting. As a value-focused multi-media series, the models feature a large screen and modest resolution, fast processors and ample storage. This along with superb design, and with multiple...
