    Modding the House

    Wow Merlin, I'm really sorry to hear about your brother. Hope his health improves soon (with some well-deserved relaxation).

    Gee Thanks

    Haha. You must have your options set to hide your birthday from the rest of the forums, since it's not visible in the bar at the bottom. Happy b-day ;-)

    Upgrade ideas....

    I have to agree with Blazed. The sad fact of the matter is... if you upgrade now, you'll want to upgrade again almost immediately. It's a tough situation. If you don't feel the need to upgrade right now, I'd highly recommend sitting back and forgetting about the upgrade. That $200 - $400 would...

    Sweet Website!

    Where abouts in Canada do you live? We don't get enough Canucks in here. As much as I love AnandTech (I've read the site for years), I have to also disgree with their methodologies. For a professional website, they just don't seem that fair, or realistic. For Call of Duty 4, their "benchmark"...

    Thecus N1200 Single-Drive NAS

    The first-ever NAS we took a look at was a dual-bay Thecus N2100. We are returning to those roots today by now taking a look at the single-bay N1200. We were pleased to see that Thecus once again delivered a well-built NAS that's not only sturdy, but packs in numerous useful features as well...

    SD card question

    I have never heard of either of those brands... but that's not saying much. There seems to be very unknown companies for any type of product, really, but that doesn't necessarily mean they are bad. I have to ask for the reason in choosing 1GB cards, however. I'll admit that some people...

    Looking for a new hard drive

    You will love that drive. I have a 500GB 7200.11 in my main machine, and the 32MB of cache can really make a difference in some cases. I'll sometimes copy a relatively small folder or file (>50MB), and it will copy to another location so fast, that the OS prompt doesn't even have a chance to...

    New Build 4/4/08

    That's a great looking PC! I wouldn't have changed much of anything, to be honest. That hard drive is going to treat you well... that's for sure. Good luck filling that up!

    Sweet Website!

    Hi vacuumtube, Welcome to the forums and thanks for the nice comments! According to my previous findings, your assumptions are correct - there is no discernible difference in Crysis regardless of what CPU you are using. That game is hardcore GPU-bound, and I think we laid it out pretty clear...

    Gigabyte 9600 GT 512MB

    If on the lookout for a good GPU at a great price, it's easier than ever. NVIDIA's 9600 GT packs a punch and retails for well under $200. We are taking Gigabyte's stock-clocked solution for a spin to see how it stacks up against our other models. And yes, it overclocks like a beast. You can...

    Logitech diNovo Mini

    Logitech surprised us at CES with the launch of their diNovo Mini media keyboard, which is not much larger than a cell phone. But despite its size, it packs in the functionality, and is even supported by the Playstation 3. Are we impressed? Let's just say that once again, Logitech has pulled it...

    New soundcard/speakers combo - advice wanted

    I have been told straight from ASUS that the DX has quality very close to on par with the D2 and D2X. There was one primary change (which escapes me right now), but they noted that most people would not know the difference. The primary difference between the DX and D2/X is bling... and the...

    ASUS Xonar and Ultrasone PRO 750's Under Linux

    Yessir, Rory has this card and has been experimenting with it. I'm unsure of his thoughts so far though. He's working on a Creative EAX versus article at the moment, so his thoughts might be in there.

    Updated overclocking methodology in our reviews...

    Hi all, You might have noticed that we have begun posting more and more GPU-related content in the past few months, and that's for a reason... people love them! All of the GPU reviews we've posted have performed well, and it's apparent that consumers love to peruse them to help with their...

    Maxtor Shared Storage II 1TB

    Woops, I forgot to add my $0.02 here. I have this same NAS hooked up, and for Linux, it's the best I've used. It's bare bones, so if you don't mind that, you should be set. This is the third NAS I've tried, and it's the first to allow symlinks (important if backing up folders that include...
