I like the Sunon server fans. Great quality, can be found cheap.

Sorry man - just re-read my post and it came across like I was a douchebag, I didn't mean to seem like such a dick. My comments were the following: The TJ09 has a single 120mm fan with side intakes blowing directly over the GPUs. The FT02 has three 180mm air penetrator fans blowing directly...

Sorry, but your test isn't scientific in the least - you're comparing apples to oranges. You have different fans, a different layout, different fan locations - it's not really a useful test. I have an FT02 for one of my rigs (X58-based Core i7 950, GTX 580 GPU), so I decided to test it after...

That Cooler Master video is hilariously inaccurate. They're trying to point out peak and continuous by using a hand-drawn chart on a whiteboard that doesn't even really highlight their point. Not to mention that their own unit that they're using is over spec'd too. Ridiculous. If this is the...

Now is a pretty awesome time for cases. I remember just a few years ago, nobody painted the inside, cable routing was an afterthought, noisy 80mm and 92mm fans were common, everything was held in place with tiny silver screws instead of thumbscrews or tool-less devices. But now - even $59...

I'm trying to help a friend build a system for the first time, and while I'm pretty experienced with higher end hardware, his budget doesn't really allow for that. His budget for the case is about $100 or so, and he's going to be using it mostly for gaming as well as regular web usage and some...

From top left to bottom right: 1) Mac SE - got it after our school upgraded the computer lab and we could buy them cheap. Thanks mom & dad. 2) Lunchbox 386 PC. My dad got it from work for free. It had a monochrome screen you could change from amber to green with the push of a button. 3) Mac...

There's another review here: http://www.hardwareheaven.com/reviews/1012/pg1/corsair-h70-cpu-cooler-review-introduction.html Shows a 9-13 degree difference.

I think it makes a huge difference, because the heat exchanger is in a completely different temperature of ambient air. In previous tests on the web of watercoolers and aircoolers, you usually see Aircooling beat out watercoolers like this when tested on an open bench, but inside a case, the...

Hey guys - I have been having a few discussions with some friends about cases (nobody makes a perfect one around $100 anymore - seems like you have to spend $150 or so to get good quality) and I suddenly realized that the things we all hated about most $90-$110 cases WEREN'T the same. I...

This is a pretty good deal. The only difference between this and the 800D is the hot swap bay and the side window. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139002 $219 with a $40 MIR.

I was looking around at the mITX cases and although they're getting better, they're still not quite perfect. I was thinking of putting a design together and making my own, but I've never built an mITX system so I would appreciate some advice. The system will primarily be used for gaming and...

I am really lost here. 1 - Your drive failed. 2 - Corsair offered to replace your drive. ??? What's the problem? It sucks that parts die, but so far there's no evidence that anybody is out to screw you over...

I'm an advertising major and gamer who works in the tech industry and I need a great monitor. I'm currently using a Dell 2007WFP, which is fine, but the resolution is kind of low for me to use with excel spreadsheets side-by-side or powerpoint. The color reproduction is decent but the monitor...

If you read the article, Comcast ended up replacing the pole for her and incurring the entire cost of it themselves. Pretty good result. A few years ago Comcast came to swap me out from DSL to Cable Modem (finally). Their contractors had to drill a hole through the wall of the room to run a...
