Spinners? Haha. My opinion on spinners ranges somewhere between "Huge Redneck" and "Too Little Self Esteem". But sadly, that car has the perfect body-style for them :-\

We took a look at Intel's first 45nm desktop offering a few weeks ago and already have a preview of it's successor. The QX9770 is equipped with a 3.2GHz frequency and is the first Intel CPU to support a 1600MHz Front-Side-Bus. Read on to see how it compares to the rest of our fleet. You can...

Hmm, I like that. It even beats out Steam's "You must be online or not game for you" methodology.

I picked up Crysis as well, but have yet to play it. It's installed and ready for benchmarking this weekend though, so I'll experience a little bit of what it has to offer. CoD4... I haven't played it much except for a few levels required for benchmarking, and WOW... spectacular.

From our front-page news: I've often made known my thoughts on copy protection and the inconveniences of, but I feel compelled once again to step up and ask, what the heck? Specifically, when will companies learn that copy protection only inconveniences legal customers? One could argue that game...

From our front-page news: Since AGEIA first stepped onto the scene, we've obsessively covered every move they've made in hopes that they would finally leave their mark on the gaming landscape with their physics processor. To date, that has not yet happened, but things are looking good for the...

From our front-page news: When BMW made the announcement a few months ago saying that they were bringing their 1-Series to North American shores, there were mixed reactions. BMW fans overall were impressed and excited, while the rest thought the car was uglier than your first blind date. Who...

We haven't reviewed a Gateway product in the past, so I am really unsure as to how they handle review samples. I do know, however, how they handle their XHD3000 samples: I would say they mean business...

You won't see reviews for "another month or so". At least that's what Razer tells me.

I decided to check HD Tune to see how hot these drives were actually getting (3x 320GB Seagates) and they were 58C, 56C and 53C... ridiculous. For benchmarking I hauled out the bay and strapped a fan to it... temps are now in the lower 30Cs.

No worries, I hope it works well for you. I used to use it to capture streaming audio, and it worked exceptionally.

Considering I just saw two 750GB ES drives take a crap, I am overly skeptical now :-)

Hmm, did they buy them out, or something? I read that magazine before I ever knew what GameStop was... although it could have been because they were slow to catch on in Canada.

VidaBox produces some of the finest HTPCs on the market, but until recently, they've bundled keyboards from other companies. We are taking a look at their first own offering, a wireless solution with built-in trackball. It's compact, sturdy and surprisingly impressive. You can read Kiersten's...

The hardest button to button?

I still don't quite understand. There -is- a 120mm fan in between the PSU and hard-drive (which actually doesn't work for some reason), but that just keeps the PSU cool, not the HDD. Behind the HDD cage, there looks to be a space large enough for a fan, but it just will not fit. The sliding...

In preparing this chassis for some benchmarking, I decided I wanted to put a big fan in front of the bottom HDD bay in order to suck in cool air from the outside and push it through all three drives I have installed there. That desire was short-lived though, since I could not fit one in there...

If you want black and blue that bad.. just let me know.

In a worst-case scenario, you might want to try the demo of Total Recorder as well and see if it will do the same thing: http://totalrecorder.com/productfr_tr.htm It's $2 cheaper and is designed solely for recording, so it might be superior.
