    Hiper Anubis Mid-Tower

    Who do you run to when you need a new chassis? Antec? Thermaltake? SilverStone? Today, we are adding a new company to our personal list: Hiper. If their Anubis mid-tower had to be summed up in a single word, it would be "Quality". Not too bad for their first showing! You can read Greg's full...

    Huge Gabe Newell Interview at Rock, Paper, Shotgun

    From our front-page news: There's no such thing as a shortage of Gabe Newell interviews, but that's a good thing. Gabe is not your typical development studio head-honcho who is bound into ultra-strict deadlines by those who require a great financial quarter. Like it should be, he believes games...

    Toshiba UK Offering Free Movies with Notebooks, Amazon "Get 10 Free" Deal

    From our front-page news:Is Toshiba UK joining in on the holiday spirit? I'd like to think that they are instead, just cluing in. For months and months, Toshiba's HD-DVD players (even the Xbox 360 add-on) qualified for free HD-DVD flicks, but their laptops that included the advance player didn't...

    Sony Launches Playstation Store for PC

    From our front-page news: Who is with me in saying, "It's about time!"? Up until now, if you wanted to purchase and download a PSOne or PSP game to a PSP, you needed to have a PS3. Highly inefficient, since most PSP owners don't own a PS3. That's now changed though, as Sony has unveiled the...

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

    From our front-page news: Last month, I posted about a fresh Nordschleife record that was taken by the Pagani Zonda F... a car that those with the cash could actually acquire. Other records are more impressive, but the cars to accomplish them wouldn't be deemed street legal and have been...

    NVIDIA Takes The Lid Off Of 8800M GTS and GTX

    From our front-page news: On the desktop PC side of things, it's not much of a surprise to see a new GPU be unveiled that totally blows away its predecessor at least once or twice a year. The notebook market is slightly different though, since we've seen NVIDIA's Go 7950GTX hold the top position...

    Samsung SyncMaster 2232GW Wide-Screen

    As far as I am aware, both the 2232BW and 226BW a similar Samsung TN panel, but the difference is that thanks to the glossier panel, the 2232GW might appear slightly more bright. That, and the 3000:1 panel which might result in deeper blacks.

    Dell UltraSharp 3007WFP-HC Wide-Screen Monitor

    I agree, the 3008WFP is definitely on my radar of things to be on the lookout for at CES in January, assuming it will be there. The lack of connectivity on the 3007WFP-HC didn't bother me personally, as I'd not use them, but I know a lot of people who do purchase a monitor to use for more than...

    Zune 2 Just Around the Corner?

    I had no idea of this, I need to check it out soon. I am old fashioned and would much rather own the actual album than download the entire thing, but this would be a great alternative for those more obscure artists/tracks. Hard to beat $0.79 320Kbps DRM-free. If that's the price, then how come...

    New modder competition site, from MaximumPC

    I agree with you there. Comprehensive mods are fantastic, but if it takes more than an hour to swap out a component, something is wrong ;) Speaking of, CPU had a cool one last month, a fiberglass person with blue/red coolant running through the "veins". It was great, but I still couldn't...
