Finally replaced my old Core i7 920 cube with a more svelte and user friendly HAF-X case. Should've taken a few photos while it was under construction and looking showroom perfect, but I did make a few quick and dirty pics of it in operation. I was originally aiming for purple liquid to...

Figured I might as well make one of these... anyone's welcome to post really good deals they stumble across! A few gems that I've seen: Intel 3930K Hex-core Processor $400 @ Microcenter (On BF) MalwareBytes Lifetime subscription $10 shipped @ Newegg (Active now, ecode EMCJJJH52) ARCTIC MX2...

So, my Dell 2407WFP finally went a week back. Main cap was leaking slightly out the bottom, which apparently after it reaches a certain point will blow out a voltage IC chip and damage stuff all across the power supply board. Was pretty spectacular and caused my UPS to power cycle everything...

Not sure where this came from, but apparently OCZ has plans to launch the Vertex 4 in fourteen hours... there's an ad banner up on our site with a sneak peak at some of the details. I have to say I'm quite surprised and certainly wasn't expecting the Vertex 3 to be supplanted quite so soon...

So, I'll be honest. I was totally not paying attention to motherboards, especially ASRock given they're a subsidiary of ASUS and typically make the more affordable motherboards. Then I randomly stumble onto this... beast of a motherboard. It is literally so packed with features that the PCB is...

Not super-hot but still an excellent deal assuming you don't mind rebates. Half-again the size of typical 60GB SSDs found at this price point it's a good deal, and would be an excellent fit in any laptop for a very noticeable upgrade! Good for 3/28 only I believe, unfortunately. $100 - $20...

I'll just preface by saying that my laptop is six years old, more like seven from purely a hardware standpoint. So I've begun eyeing laptops again and the usual deal websites to see what may come along, as I can't put off upgrading this thing any longer. I noticed the XPS 15z pretty quickly...

I'll be honest. My quest for PC power has corrupted my PC, perhaps irreparably. If you're a serious computer enthusiast then you have certainly heard at least one horror story from someone you know that was using a cheap power supply, that often end up not being so "cheap" in the end. This...

I have confirmed there is a driver incompatibility between the ASUS Xonar and ASUS Rampage II Extreme motherboard when paired with Windows 7 64bit. Needless to say this is extremely ridiculous, especially given the ASUS Xonar works in their largest competitor's motherboard (Gigabyte) without...

Traditions are fun, so I'll copy Rob's lead on the thread title. ;) Besides clearing my thoughts by putting pen to paper (or fingers to keyboard as it were) I'm going to make this post in the obscure hope somebody might know what is going on or has seen this issue before. Even if not, it...

I guess I'm safe to brag every now and then. Rob asked me if this overclock was stable... well, lets see. There's actually a pretty lengthy story for this build, it took much longer than it should have before I could even get it started, but I won't get into that here. I assume pics will be...

I stumbled across this story, can't say I am that surprised at EMI's stance on this. Nor can I imagine EMI sitting back and not retaliating against this in some fashion. This is certainly a rather interestng method and it would be amusing to see his, ah, "album" sell well regardless. The...

Source: AMD's next-gen Bulldozer is a 128-bit crunching monster

Ran into this one, thought it was amusing so here it is: Source OCZ had to slow down its SSDs because Mac OSX can't handle the speed

I don't normally post these but I'm going to be a touch selfish on this one as I wanted a second entry. PCFlip is giving away one of Noctua's new NH-U12P LGA1366 coolers. :D Relatively speaking few have entered, and shipping is world-wide. Contest can be found at...

This one has been making the rounds like wildfire. It appears Rivatuner has the ability to adjust the voltage settings to GTX 260 & GTX 280 cards (And some ATI 4000 cards) in software. No hard mods or flashing is required. From what people are posting it doesn't work with the newer GTX 285 as...

I briefly mentioned finding a new stability testing program in my help thread dealing with Vista, figured I oughta share the news here so y'all could have some fun with it. This program reportedly is much much quicker than Prime 95, reportedly able to detect errors in 10 minutes what Prime...

Alright, usually I don't make posts asking for help, but as y'all are pretty good guys and mostly all seem to be pro Vista, I could use a bit of help. I just installed Vista 64bit Ultimate onto the rig in my sig. All motherboard drivers, OS patches, and BIOS are updated and set specifically...

Anand is back with another pre-launch quickbench session, this time with Nehalem instead of Conroe. http://www.anandtech.com/cpuchipsets/intel/showdoc.aspx?i=3326 So far it's followed my performance expectations nicely, but one thing I completely got wrong was the power... their test sample...

Rather some nice surprises here on ATI's upcoming cards: http://www.tgdaily.com/content/view/37025/135/ ATI 4870 gets a 1.05Ghz Core, 480 shaders, a needed doubling of TMUs (32 vs RV670's 16), and then "something" called GDDR5 @ 2200MHz. 55nm core @ ~150watts, so it doesn't sound like another...
