From our front-page news: Although Windows Vista wasn't as widely accepted as Microsoft would have hoped, their Windows Home Server was anticipated all the way up to it's release. We first took a look at the OS last spring and were pleased overall with what we saw. But, now that the OS is in the...

From our front-page news: Just over a month ago, we posted our preview of Intel's <strike>Skulltrail</strike> Dual Socket Extreme Desktop Platform, and it only took a few weeks before it was officially announced. That was a full 22 days ago. The problem that lingers is that it's still incredibly...

From our front-page news: For whatever reason, backing up any e-mail client seems to be an arduous chore, and one that can end up in disaster if a simple step is missed. I suffered a bad experience with Outlook a few years back and learned my lesson quick. My current client, Mozilla Thunderbird...

From our front-page news: It seems like forever that we've been waiting to see a 9800GX2 launch, but it's now closer than ever. According to reports, the 9800GX2 and 9800GTX have gotten the greenlight and are on schedule for release this month. Reviews should be popping up around the web in the...

Ahh nice. From what I recall, this monitor has a cleaner picture overall than the Gateway, but that might be in part to the higher color gamut. I don't think money should be an issue here. You OWE yourself a new monitor!

Logitech unveiled their Z Cinéma speaker system at this year's CES, to plenty of fanfare. The system blends a refined two-way satellite design with a robust, powerful subwoofer. We take the latest high performance Z-series PC speaker system for a spin, and find lots of cause for excitement. You...

So, this isn't a HUGE deal, but for those who've been wanting to play this title for a while but didn't want to spend up to $60 at the store, it can be had for $30 on Steam. This might be the cheapest you'll be able to get the game for, for now at least. I can't see it going down any further...

Yeah, I know I sound excited, but truth be told, I haven't even played the original and have zero interest. BUT, I know numerous people who loved the original, so this should be exciting news: Take-Two also noted that the original BioShock has 2 million unit sales under its belt since its...

An updated Interplay website has sparked conversation all over the web with regards to what's to come. Personally, seeing Earthworm Jim there along with MDK makes me feel nostalgic. I would LOVE to see new games based off those two series, and I'm sure I'm not alone there. Heck, a new Descent...

For a while now, I've been using the 20" ASUS PW201 on my work machine, and while it has kick-ass color and super image quality, it's come time for an upgrade. I am finding 1680x1050 to be quite limiting with my work flow. It's hard to explain, but certain ways that I handle things would benefit...

Hah, CJ's assumption was correct. Nice find sbrehm!

Gateway got back to me but will not disclose what kind of panel it is. I am not familiar enough with all of the different panels to assume what it is. Sorry about that.

You seem like the perfect customer for this product, and honestly, it's nice to see someone out there who already owns this product and can speak of its benefits. It seems like the product is an acquired taste, but definitely proves useful in cases like yours.

For some reason, I didn't think to mention anything in the review as I focused on console gaming, but FPS gaming on the PC is also fantastic. During the time I had it here, all recent GPU benchmarking was completed on it, and I also played a little bit of Unreal Tournament III without issue. The...

Oh, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater... how I love thee. I admit, despite recent titles being somewhat lackluster, I am still a fanboy of the THPS series and would hate to see it diminish into a faded memory. The sad thing is though, most gamers are getting tired of the unambitious series and want to...

Up to now, BitTorrent was something I took for granted, but it's articles like these that show just how superb the technology is. When you can remove 20+ of your servers and stick with 2 because of how BitTorrent works... THAT is impressive to me. Of course the end user wouldn't have a need...

Yes, I admit to liking moving blocks also. Although nowadays with Diskeeper, it's more like thousands of vertical bars instead of blocks.

FLAC is essentially lossless, with minimal compression. True lossless would be direct CD audio, but there would be virtually no differences in sound quality. CD audio streams at a constant bit-rate of 1411Kbps, meaning that a lot of space is constantly wasted. That's why FLAC is lossless but...

I am not sure if those boards are designed for overclocking, really. If they are to be used for HTPC and similar use, I don't think an overclock would matter much (not that Phenom overclocks that well to begin with). Still, seems like a great price for a board like that. Building an HTPC is...

I shouldn't have laughed, but I did. Out loud.
