    Thermalright Emphasizes Passive Cooling with their R1x

    From our front-page news: I'm not quite sure what it is, but there seems to be a huge focus on chassis' at this Computex. Companies who've never released such a product before now are, and it's a bit strange. Is it because they see the need for more selection in the marketplace, or because they...

    Xigmatek's First Chassis Looks to be a Winner

    From our front-page news: Xigmatek isn't a company that's been around too long, three years in fact, but with the products they've released so far, they've earned the reputation of a company that produces worthwhile products. Their Thor's Hammer CPU cooler, for example, costs half as much as...

    GeIL's DBT Ensures Long-Lasting Memory

    From our front-page news: At GeIL's booth, the company didn't have a whole lot to show off, but what was easily the most interesting was a wall chock-full of their Black Dragon RAM, all seemingly being stressed. They were showing off what they call DBT, or Die-hard Burn-in Technology, a...

That's SilverStone's goal with the GD04, a new home theater chassis that offers enough of what you need to build the ultimate HTPC, but for a very reasonable price (~$100). And if you...

    Giving Intel's ULV Processors a Quick Spin

    From our front-page news:Earlier this week, we posted about Intel's upcoming ultra-low voltage mobile processors, which boast some incredible claims. Imagine having a 10" - 13" notebook that lasts up to eight hours on a single charge while still retaining reasonable performance to get work done...

    The Girls of Computex 2009

    Computex is home to many things - PC components, gadgets, new technologies and everything else related to the computer industry. But, there's a certain fixture that most every tradeshow has... girls. There was certainly no shortage of cuties hovering around the show floor this time around, and...

    Motorola Docsis 3 modem

    I'm not positive, but it seems like you're still being capped, just not in short bursts like with services such as Speedtest.net. Both of your downloads hovered around 3.5MB/s... our true 100Mbit/s connection did 9 - 11MB/s. Either way, I'm jealous of your Internet. I'm still dealing with 10...

    Intel Talks Lynnfield, Arrandale, Teases with 8-Core Processor

    Not just Skulltrail. Nothing stops anyone from purchasing a dual-socket motherboard designed for Xeon's and use it for a gaming PC. Just imagine two Core i7 3.0GHz+ processors... sixteen threads of happiness.

    Motorola Docsis 3 modem

    Here's another option: http://www.techpowerup.com/downloads/870/mirrors.php Direct URL: techPowerUp! US-4 Here's our speed behind a 100Mbit/s connection. That 700MB file took 74s to download. After seeing your result there though, I can't see your download not going just as...

    Motorola Docsis 3 modem

    There's a lot of questions to be raised here, because that kind of gain for most people seems a little unrealistic. You work at an ISP... is your connection better than the norm? Is this a result that people could typically see? Is this burst rate, or sustained?

    Thermaltake Shows Off Unique Level 10 Chassis

    I have a good feeling Thermaltake will be sending out zero of these for reviews. They are just too expensive, and in order to get a good ROI, they'd have to send units out to multiple sites. Seems kind of expensive, and unlikely.

    The option is there right now... just need to use two CPUs :-)

    Intel Core i7-975 Extreme Edition

    I just monitor CPU-Z while running the hardcore benchmarks... the CPU freq. field there updates once per second. I don't keep a logging feature, although I wouldn't mind finding something that would allow me to do that. As for overclocking, all I know is that I was able to hit 4.2GHz with...

    Intel Talks Lynnfield, Arrandale, Teases with 8-Core Processor

    Hah, you got that right. Francois has been teasing with "Can't Touch This!" for a few weeks now... I had no idea what he was getting at. Was definitely a good chuckle. Oh, and I want one. I forgot to mention the 24MB of Cache on that thing... insane.

    Corsair Reveals Hydro H50 Self-Contained Water CPU Cooler

    That was mentioned in the posting. What are your overall thoughts though? Even if the fan mounting was a little odd, would you still purchase this over a full-blown water-cooling machine, or the Ultra-120?
