    OCZ's First DIY Notebook Out Soon, Other Models En Route

    From our front-page news: Last month, OCZ announced a brand-new product out of nowhere... a do-it-yourself notebook. As expected, they had just that product on display in their suite at Computex and from what I've seen, it's definitely on the right path. The initial model, which will launch...

    Lenovo L220X 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor

    Yes it does. As far as I'm aware, this is far too common nowadays for companies to omit, especially on higher-end models like this one.

    ASUS G1S 15.4" Gaming Notebook

    Well, it's a lot easier to play an MMORPG on a notebook than an FPS ;-) Upgrading to a 7200RPM should be no problem. I believe I have a picture in the review (on crap WiFi atm, too slow to check), and it should be incredibly easy to swap. The tricky part is keeping all your data. You might want...

    NVISION08

    That looks kind of interesting. IDF occurs just a few days prior to this, so I might just extend the trip and make my way down to San Jose to attend this as well. I'm already drooling at the mods ;-) Thanks for the link and info!

    Gigabyte 9600 GT 512MB

    If you install the Gigabyte and then the ASUS, the ASUS card will downclock to the same speeds as the Gigabyte. From there, you could overclock them both and hopefully have them both reach high speeds, but nothing can be guaranteed. Two 9600GT's in SLI will offer great performance regardless...

    Bigger is Not Better, Says AMD

    From our front-page news: In the tech world, bigger is better, right? Wrong, according to AMD. When asked by a C|Net blog as to why they are not building huge chips like NVIDIA, they responded, "We believe this is [building smaller chips] is a much stronger strategy than going for a huge...

    Sabayon Linux 3.2

    Sorry to hear you are having such a rough time... I can certainly relate to the frustration though. You could always try other distros and see if any of them pick up on it. Although, it almost seems easier to just use a different kind of connection. Is this a wireless connection, through a...

    NCsoft Covers New Ground in City of Heroes

    Something in the back of my head tells me I should have played CoH/CoV a little bit longer... things are starting to sound really interesting. Too bad the game becomes a grind real quick if you plan to solo though. Too bad those veteran awards are for active accounts only ;-)

    LG Blue Ray Burner

    We just need the media itself to follow suit. At $10 a pop, it's still kind of expensive, for 25GB at least. You could use that $10 to pick up a 25 pack of blank DVDs and have 5x the storage capacity. Sure, it's more than one disc, but meh.

    Samsung Announces Blazing Fast 256GB SSD

    From our front-page news: Sick of hearing about SSDs? Don't feel bad, so do I. But this latest announcement is too good to pass over. Late March, Super Talent wowed us with their 256GB SSD, and how couldn't we be impressed? That's massive in the SSD realm. So was the price though, at $6,000...

    From our front-page news: It's not too often we get to see two motherboard manufacturers duke it out, so things should soon get interesting here. In case you are unaware, Gigabyte held a private media event in Taiwan a few weeks ago where they were unveiling their P45 offerings and others to...

    Hypersonic's Avenger AG2 Now Available

    From our front-page news: We posted a review of Hypersonic's brand-new 12-inch notebook two weeks ago, and were impressed overall. It's not the best-looking machine on the planet, but the pricing was right, and so was the performance (understatement). Well, the machine has now launched, and is...

    Entertainment Software Association: Abandon Ship!

    That is insane... not looking good for the ESA at all. "Demise" might be an understatement... I can't get over how bad they mutilated what was once a legendary conference.

    Thermaltake Duorb

    As odd as that cooler is... I love the look of it. Good to see it works well also. Is it quiet?
