I don't think bubbles should be a problem, unless they don't go away. Wait two days, and if they still appear, contact CoolIT support and take it up with them.

I don't really understand what you are saying. It was installed, but won't recognize it? This happens when you try to run it, or it just won't work at all? I've never dealt with WUBI, but it sounds interesting. I am really, really unsure how it works without testing it out though, so I am not...

When the mouse scroll wheel stops working, did you try just re-plugging it in? That should reinitialize everything. I could be wrong though, since I've never been in that situation. Logging in and out might help also, though not desired. I have no sweet clue what Hellanzb is, but opening up a...

From our front-page news: It's been two months since the launch of NIN's last album, Ghosts I-IV, but the band has wasted no time with a follow-up, entitled 'The Slip'. While Ghosts was an instrumental album, The Slip goes back to their roots and deliver hard-hitting tracks that fans are used...

I was talking about NCIX, but I didn't know Tiger Direct did the same thing. Interestingly, NCIX used to charge everyone in Canada whatever British Columbia's sales taxes were at the time. It wasn't until a few years ago that they changed over and started charging as per the customers province's...

From our front-page news: New York state loves taxes, who knew? Last week, the state put forth a requirement that e-tailers in other parts of the country would have to begin taxing NY-based consumers appropriately. Currently, Amazon does not tax consumers on any of the merchandise, as far as I...

From our front-page news: The latest Ubuntu release came out just two weeks ago, but that's old news by now. I have never been much of an Ubuntu fan, and the fact is, I disliked it... a lot. I still stand by the fact that I believe the distro was severely over hyped with the earlier versions...

You couldn't be more right. I hate computing with a keyboard. </sarcasm>

I agree about the flaps... I don't know what purpose they are supposed to serve except to get in your way. Still looks good though.

Thermaltake passed along word that their Armor+ MX is now out, and it looks like a beaut. Simply put, it's like a smaller Armor+. It's a full tower shrunk to a mid-tower size, which might be right up the alley for some. I admit I didn't quite care for the Armor+ when I used it to build our...

From our front-page news: It's unlikely that many would disagree that parallel computing is in the future, and if you ask NVIDIA's David Kirk, it's best done on a GPU. Bit-Tech's Tim Smalley sat down with Kirk, NVIDIA's Chief Scientist, for a lengthy chat discussing everything from parallel...

From our front-page news: After almost three months of constant bartering with Yahoo!, Microsoft has withdrawn their bid for the company. Microsoft's last offer sat at $47.5 billion, or $33 per share, while Yahoo! refused to accept anything lower than $37 per share. It was not in Microsoft's...

From our front-page news: Over the course of the past month, it was speculated by many sources that the theatrical release of Iron Man could potentially see lackluster sales thanks to Grand Theft Auto IV's release earlier in the week. Could a game actually keep people home, who would otherwise...

No one here knows networking like Greg does, so I have no valuable input. I know less than you do, to be honest. I have pinged Greg about this, but he has run into the worst kind of luck the past two weeks, which I won't talk about here in case he wants it kept private. He will be back later...

VP, chances are good that you received a less-than-perfect card, considering all you did was install it and saw artifacts. I have a good feeling that the replacement will not exhibit those issues. If it does, however, it could be a power issue, or even a dust issue. If your computer is at all...

If you need any Linux help, don't be afraid to ask :-)

Whew, sorry for the late update. I'll tackle this Monday.

After some contemplation, I've decided on these benchmarks for the motherboard reviews: SYSmark 2007 Preview DivX + VirtualDub Adobe Lightroom Autodesk 3DS Max 9 HD Tach RW/3 Sandra Memory Bandwidth 3DMark Vantage Half-Life 2: Episode Two SYSmark 2007 is a lot more reliable than PCMark...

Hah, nice one. I try my best to stay away from anything that's high in carbs, since I get all the carbs I need from Heineken. I like Rockstar's "Carb Free", then, for obvious reasons. The healthiest thing would be to not touch any of it though.

Looking for excellent gaming performance but also want to keep PC noise to a minimum? The EN9600GT Silent from ASUS is the card to buy. It couples the power of the 9600 GT with pure silence, and costs little more than the stock model, making it a great choice for either the HTPC or desktop. You...
