    Anyone go to a Black Friday door crasher?

    I can't be stuffed to get off my ass to go sit amongst a slew of other idiots who value saving a few bucks over keeping warm and comfortable. As a roadtrip, it might be kind of fun, though. It's just too bad NCIXs BF deals sucked majorly, those are the only ones I was going to pay attention to.

    Looking for cooling suggestions...

    Well, if I have time sometime soon, I'll install the X3210 again into the water-cooling machine, OC it to 2.6GHz and stress all cores. I bet I will receive well over 70C per core. This is still stable though, so it's not a huge problem. Considering I will very rarely stress all four cores at...

    Looking for cooling suggestions...

    Oh wow, if that's the temps you are getting at THAT overclock, I should be fine. Good stuff, I will order soon. Still wouldn't mind a slim-fan for the front HDD-bay, but I don't think it's going to happen. I hate knowing the 750GB drive is going to sit down there hotter than hell. As for being...

    Crysis Case Mod soon

    Well considering what I paid for this, I will put up with it ;-) Sorry to hijack your thread Merlin.

    Well, I still can't access it. Can you tell me if one of these fans are what you are talking about? http://www.ncix.com/search/?q=Scythe+S-Flex&minprice=Min.+Price&maxprice=Max.+Price

    ASUS WL-500g Premium Router

    To be honest, I am not sure if that router supports FTP. I am quite sure the WL-500W and WL-700gE do. You might want to head over to the ASUS official forums, and check out the WL-500g forum to post the same question there. If you do find a router that will support FTP, it will still be a...

    Is it just me, or is NewEgg actually down? I couldn't access it all last night either. Sometimes it would load, but it would be very slow.

    Crysis Case Mod soon

    I have a ModXStream going into my new workstation rig. So sue me! (If it dies and kills my stuff I will cry)

    Looking for cooling suggestions...

    Normally I am not a huge fan of bigger air coolers, but that one seems to be getting great reviews. I am really leaning towards that one now. Happen to have suggestions for fans to strap on that thing? Will that Yate Loon, despite being slow, still be sufficient? Quad-Cores can get hot... very...

    The 'Ring Record Taken By BMW M3 CSL - 7:22.8

    Of course both were overkill.. they were designed for overkill ;-) And yeah, it would be hard to step back into your M3 with tampons in hand and still feel like a man.

    Half-Life 2: 64-Bit - Reason to get excited?

    Thanks for the tip! I have to wonder why Valve doesn't do this to begin with.

    Looking for cooling suggestions...

    I believe the Freezone is a little bit of an overkill for this machine, since I don't plan to go high with the overclocks. In addition, if I were to add liquid cooling to the machine, I'd like to cool the GPU that way as well, not only the CPU. I am not sure if CoolIT offers a solution that...

    Asus WL-700ge and .pst file

    This is going to be a bit tough. First and foremost... a 10MB limit is incredibly stupid in this day and age. You should look elsewhere for an e-mail provider, because the limitations of the one you have now is ridiculous :-) If I were in your shoes, what I would do is sign up for a new e-mail...

    Crysis Case Mod soon

    Looking forward to this one!

    The 'Ring Record Taken By BMW M3 CSL - 7:22.8

    Was that NOS that the Supra activated? As soon as he took off, you could hear the sudden burst of power. I am not that familiar with NOS, so I can't assume it was, but he took off way fast. Of course. The Supra was modified for the purpose of kicking ass in straight lines, while the Bimmer is...

    Looking for cooling suggestions...

    I've been in the process of planning an upgrade to my main machine (in sig) for a few months, and all I need are the last few components, such as a case and cooling. Here's a partial list of what the system will include: Intel X3210 2.13GHz (will overclock to 2.5GHz or 2.6GHz, but no higher)...

    Maxtor OneTouch 4 Plus 500 External Hard Drive

    Choosing the right external HDD can be tough. In order to sell, products such as the OneTouch 4 rely on their robust software bundle to help move off the shelf. People should be given a solid backup suite, especially given the price. This is exactly where Maxtor fell short, with their OneTouch 4...

    AMD Would Purchase AGEIA... If Price Were Right

    I think AGEIA has been hoping all along that they would be acquired, although they've been doing rather well to hold themselves afloat for a while. Gotta give them credit for that. I also agree that a separate card would make more sense for physics, depending on how comprehensive they are...

    Question about PC6400 DDR2 used with E6750/Q6600

    As a general rule, the RAM speed should be equal to the FSB speed. For a Q6600, that would be DDR2-1066, while for the E6750 (being a 1333FSB), then DDR3-1333 would be ideal. Obviously, not everyone is running out and paying the high DDR3 prices (and they shouldn't), so the bottleneck is not...

    AGEIA PhysX - $99

    Some retailers are selling the PhysX card for $99.99: http://www.ageia.com/where_to_buy/index.html Of course, the price tag is thanks to a $50 mail-in rebate. Going to go pick up UTIII today and see just how useful the card is there.
