    7 Reasons The PC Is Owning The PS4 And Xbox One

    Did you add in the cost of the television for the console? Personal Example, when I bought my xbox 360, it was 400 dollars, and the TV was 3800. Over the life of the console I bought maybe 12 games. So that's another 700 dollars. I can promise you that in that same time span, I did not spend...

    7 Reasons The PC Is Owning The PS4 And Xbox One

    Unless I missed something... Steam Sales, more than offsets the increased upfront costs of a gaming pc. However, if you happen to already have a desktop, the only real cost is a video card, and if I'd think that an pentium/i3 + 200ish (290(x)) dollar video card will match or exceed the...

    Jen-Hsun On GeForce GTX 970

    Assuming that this was in fact initially an error in communication, my problem with NVIDIA, and I'm guessing what will be argued in court is the following, after the review dropped on launch day, it is extremely unlikely that someone this error was not observed by an employee and then...

    Asrock E3C224D2i

    If ecc is required, it would be the first SP board, that I have encountered that requires ECC, and since the memory controller is on the cpu... Unless you're using pfsense in a commercial (huge) setting, you're beyond over kill with that board/cpu combo.

    How Long Would It Take You To Beat The Games In Your Steam Library?

    I think I need to stop buying games, 1578 hours, or I could watch the entirety of Star Trek, Twice.

    New Phase Change Cooling System At CES 2015

    If I understood correctly a big part of the research was so that they could display the process of evaporation? So this like if was able to see what is going in a heatpipe? The point being? While interesting, I don't see it as a reasonable replacement for a good tower cooler, since it neither...

    Wal-Mart Scammed Into Selling PS4s For $90

    While, I don't have a problem taking advantage of a price mistake (the apology coupon they send is worth it), but forcing another retailer to take advantage of what you clearly know is not valid, is fraud.

    MSI GTX 780 Lightning Mint Condition Lightly Used . Comes with Modded Bios

    I sold mine for 350 shipped on ebay, for a side grade to the 970. The advantage of 780/ti is greater performance in some situations where you are above 2560x1440. But that might have been driver related, and we only have initial drivers to compare to where most of the reviews are done.

    Designing the silent-cool-hardcode-gaming SFF case: is it really that hard?

    Although, I'm all in favor of big tower coolers (and the cases that fit them). I really don't see the need for them as I used to. Logic as follows: 1) Newer processors (sandy bridge) + seem to idle quite well. 2) Since they idle quite well, during non-intensive usage their thermal requirements...
