    Saitek Eclipse II Illuminated Keyboard

    Hmm, I know Greg uses this keyboard on a daily basis at his house and I've never heard a complaint from him. I'll make sure he sees this thread though, so he can fill you in on his experiences.

    Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 4000

    That should work with XP just fine, but you will need to make sure the proper driver (the one that came with the keyboard) is installed. Then under the configuration, you should be able to adjust what the slider will do. By default in Vista it's probably the zoom, while in XP it's just to scroll...

    WinXP Pro 64 bit free download

    For some reason, I recall that when this was first released, it was free for people who owned the x86 version, but I've never heard much about it after that. That -should- be the case though, since you get both versions with a retail copy of Vista.

    Fun with the E8400

    I meant the picture is dark... I think you stood too close to the board, instead of standing back and zooming in (which would allow a lot better lighting). Looking forward to seeing what kind of overclocks you hit though man... I am hoping to see similar overclocks that I did in our review a...

    EVGA Step-Up Question

    You will be cutting things REAL close by the looks of things. Good luck with that, but even if you are unable to upgrade, you have an ideal video card given the resolution you are able to handle (unless of course you are planning on upgrading that too).

    Building an Affordable "Skulltrail" System

    Intel's new dual-socket enthusiast platform is in every sense impressive, but due to the price of the recommended CPUs, owning one is a dream for many. We're taking a look at a few ways to build your very own full-featured 8-core "Skulltrail" machine for a price that's a lot easier to manage...

    Intel Announces Skulltrail - Pricing Revealed

    From our front-page news: Earlier this month, we published a preview of Intel's latest high-end enthusiast platform, Skulltrail, and it only took a few weeks before Intel made it officially official. For those unaware, Skulltrail is a platform that gives new meaning to what we know as high-end...

    Toshiba Officially Backs Out of HD DVD Camp

    I almost recommend just picking up a PS3 in a case like that, since Blu-ray players by themselves aren't exactly all that cheap either (and probably won't go down now that it's the lone format). Although I like the Xbox 360 more for games, the PS3 is an incredibly well-designed console. It's far...

    EVGA 780 Mobo

    That's a kick-ass setup - you are going to love it. I don't really think I'd change much of anything. You have the ability to go SLI which is nice. Hopefully the 780i proves to be a great overclocker.

    Why can't Indy be closer to Canada? :-|

    Toshiba Officially Backs Out of HD DVD Camp

    From our front-page news: It was a fun run, but Toshiba has just made it official that they will be backing out of the HD DVD camps and halting production of their players. Players will continue to be sold for the next few months, but will dwindle off as time passes. For those wondering if...

    Incredible music collection...

    Wow, words can't express how impressive this is. And to be built by one man! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140206309501 Puts my collection to shame.

    Palit GeForce 8600GT Super+1GB

    Palit is a relative newcomer to the GPU market in North America, but we are sure to see more of them as months pass. Our first look at a Palit card is courtesy of the 8600GT "Super+1GB". Though equipped with loads of memory, we found that it added little benefit over our 256MB competitor. You...

    ASUS EAH3870 X2 1GB

    Haha. It is a huge card, for sure. As I mentioned, it's about 30% heavier than the GTX, which I already thought to be a large card. At least it has the power to back its fat ass up.

    HD DVD to Die Before Week's End

    To me, the size of the discs doesn't really matter in this case... at all. Take a look at a few HD DVD titles... like 300. It had far more features than the Blu-ray version, yet has a smaller disc. HD DVD was cool in that it offered a lot of functionality from the get go... Toshiba didn't need...

    ASUS EAH3870 X2 1GB

    Thanks man. I really wish I could say that the card blew my socks off, but that wasn't really the case at all. It did beat out the GTX I've come to love for a while now, but it was so finicky. Most of the problem lies with ATI's drivers though... I hope they issue a more refined release soon...

    ASUS EAH3870 X2 1GB

    Yeah... I never actually made it over the chasm ;-) I don't have much time to play games, so all the time I usually get is with benchmarking.

    ASUS EAH3870 X2 1GB

    I played through the demo, and the horse part is there as well, but I think the area is a little different because I don't recall beginning way up there on a hill. The level chosen is mainly just a coincidence. I stumbled on it, remembered I liked it, so I stuck with it. What's the point of...
