    Windows 10: Your thoughts so far?

    Liking it so far. Upgraded from 7. Hated Windows 8. As far as the Nvidia control panel, if you go into device manager and click update driver and click update from the web. It will tell you, you have the latest driver. Then it will ask you to reboot. After that, the Geforce experience will...

    I Like Windows 10 But I'm Going Back To Windows 8.1

    I wanted no part of 8.1. Still use 7 and I'm perfectly happy with it.

    Lockheed Martin F-35 Lightning II Is Ready For Combat

    Just because this thing went operational, doesn't mean it's ready for combat. It will probably take another 10 years to iron out all the bugs.

    PCs Aren't Dead Yet

    I haven't upgraded my PC in 2 years. I don't use it half as much as I used to. So I can't justify the expense of upgrading it. Hell, my 24" monitor is 8 years old. Works fine. I do most day to day stuff on my phone, Nexus 7 or Chromecast.

    Call of Duty Moving to 3-Year Development Cycle

    Black Ops II was actually a decent game. At least Treyarch were pretty serious about keeping the cheaters out. Ghost, on the other hand, is an epic POS. I bought it last November and I bet I have less then 2 hours into it. The lack of dedicated servers just absolutely killed it for me.

    Common Windows 7 Problems and How to Fix Them

    I have no desire to install Windows 8. Ever. 7 never gives me any problems. And since I use my desktop less and less in favor of mobile; MS can keep 8.

    Has anyone switched from Android to iPhone?

    I use both. Droid Maxx for my personal phone and an Iphone for my work phone. I can't stand the iphone. I hate that I can't customize it like I can my Android. It doesn't have widgets and the experience is just very plain. But the iphone does have a good camera. But there is no way in hell I...

    Too Much Video Game Violence At E3

    She does make a good point. I have no issue with violence in video games. But I think they are just using gore and over the top violence to mask lack of creativity, and what's become a very stale genre.

    LifeHacker: Create a Kickass, Seamless, Play-Everything Media Center: Complete Guide

    It's a good place to start. It's a little dated now. The media scrapers on XBMC are vastly improved. As far as hardware; it just comes down to how much you want to spend. I have a 3TB drive in my main pc and I stream from that to a Dell Latitude I use as the front end for XBMC on my home...

    Rebates To Cut Price of $60 LED Bulb

    I'm a facilities engineer and we have been putting these things everywhere in several office buildings. If I didn't tell you they were LED's you'd never know the difference. Incondecent bulbs are no longer manufactured in the US.

    Antec Eleven Hundred Chassis Review @ [H]

    I couldn't be bothered. They may have decent quality but their clueless on enthusiast design. They don't hold a candle to Coolermaster or Corsair. Their 200mm Big Boy fans are second to none though.

    What do you use your tablet for?

    I agree.. But I have a desktop for any serious computing. But as a mobile device, and I'll take my Transformer any day.

    What do you use your tablet for?

    Amen brother. I haven't used my laptop in 6 months. Thing just seems so horribly obsolete. Oh, and ICS out for the TF. Very nice indeed.

    MSI Launches Military Class Inspired Interceptor Series Cases

    Well these clearly can't be enthusiast class cases. LOL, I mean nobody would have the balls to bring out an enthusiast class case without cable management. So I have to assume that "not everybody" means non enthusiast. But I would like to see what the other 2 cases look like though.

    Avoid Corsair Hydro coolers for now - bad batches.

    Just got my H80 a week ago. It's working perfectly. Just like the H50 I have running for the past 2 years in my wifes PC.

    Any recommendations for a case?

    I'd get the Rosewill Blackhawk Ultra. Then mock everyone else for having puney little cases. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147157

    $1500 gaming rig spec'd. Any tweaking?

    I was looking at two Sapphire Toxic 6950's but those went away. I've been using ATI cards for 10 years, so I'm looking to change things up. I fixed the link. And yes it's a 2500k. The EVGA CPU cooler is a good mix of price/performance. It's one of the better coolers out there. I was...

    Nope that's why I came here. Nothing's in stone. So I made some changes. Switched mobo to Asus Z68 Deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131753 Video card to EVGA Superclocked GTX 570 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130595 And Power...

    $1500 gaming rig spec'd. Any tweaking?

    True. But I don't think anything is really gonna challenge dual 560's at 1900x1200. If I use a 570 and go SLI later, it's going to bottle neck the cpu. No, I'm satisfied with the GPU setup.

    $1500 gaming rig spec'd. Any tweaking?

    Supports Quad SLI. PSU is fine if I run 3 way later. And Why would I go with a single 570? I get much bigger bang for the buck running 560 SLI for a few bucks more. I looked at the Arc Midi. Nice case. Not what I'm looking for though.

    $1500 gaming rig spec'd. Any tweaking?

    So I've spec'd my new gaming PC. I'm out for maximum bang for the dollar while future proofing for at least 3-4 years. I already have a 750gig hdd and an optical drive so those are not included in this build. I think It's as good as it gets for the money. What do you think? CPU: i5 2500. Should...

    Antec Announces the Eleven Hundred Enclosure

    This is a negatively pressurized case. Which means it's a vacuum cleaner. I just checked out the review over at Legit. There are no filters other then for the PSU. No intake fans supplied. I know from experience that type of acrylic window fan mount will be noisy as hell. Antec builds good...

    An Alternative to Coolermaster?

    It's not just a Cooler Master issue. I have an Antec 200 that does the same thing. You plug a USB device in one of the front ports and 6 times out of 10, the PC will reboot.

    Corsair Giveaway - Force Series™ GT 180GB Solid-State Hard Drive

    I need one because I am currently on a 4 year old 350GB WD. I am building a whole new system next month. I intend to OC to 5ghz and will be using Corsair Dominator 8GB ram. So I want to eliminate my HDD bottleneck. And the Force Series GT SSD will do just that.
