Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) 2008 09-05-2008

"This past weekend, my work schedule changed and freed up some time. On a spur of the moment change, we pillaged the Penny Arcade Expo also known as PAX 2008 in Seattle, WA at the Convention Center. I must say that the event seemed to be well organized. With the exception of the CC staff, the PAX crew were on the ball."

ASUS EAH3850 X2 1GB Graphics Card Review 09-04-2008

"The question was, "To dual with single GPU's or dual GPU's." Personally, if you wanted a Crossfire setup, I would suggest choosing the ASUS EAH3850 X2 single card over a two card setup, just for the sheer fact that the bridging has already been done onboard. Plus, with these cards being almost on the budget level of pricing, you can go quad inexpensively."

GlacialPower GP-AL650 Power Supply Review 09-02-2008

"First, the short of it - is this a good product? Yes, but. It features high quality components, good quality cabling, a quiet, intuitive design, fairly stable voltage rails, and almost the same amount of connectors found on the recently reviewed BFG ES800 - a much more expensive and robust unit. But, I feel that ..."

Moneual MONCASO 972 HTPC Enclosure Review 08-31-2008

"It pleases me to say that the price of the Moncaso 972 is more affordable than the 932 when it first launched. When the 932 was brand new, it required a $700 to $800 premium which was quite steep for many to afford. The 972 comes in at about the $500 which will attract far more users. "

Vantec NexStar MX eSATA Dual HDD Enclosure Review 08-28-2008

"I really like the overall look and feel of the Nexstar MX eSATA. It’s one of the best little drive enclosures I’ve used. I don’t know if adding eSata is worth doubling the price from the previous version, but it does allow for much more than a doubling of speeds."

OCZ Alchemy Series Elixir Keyboard Review 08-26-2008

"Compared with most keyboards, $30 is about average - though the Elixir is anything but average, with the plethora of additional functionality provided. True, it may not have the same level of features as the Logitech G15, but it's also far cheaper. For those that don't feel like paying too much, the OCZ Elixir is a solid buy."

Patriot Viper 2GB DDR3-2000MHz Memory Review 08-24-2008

"The crucial link in the chain for getting the best performance from the Patriot Viper PC3-16000 2GB Memory Kit is whether or not your motherboard and processor can handle Front Side Bus increases. If your Nvidia or Intel chipset based motherboard can't give you something upwards of at least 1600 MHz FSB... "

BFG ES800 Power Supply Review 08-21-2008

"BFG has a great power suppy here - not only does it look good, but it does it with performing style. For the duration of the testing, and the subsequent gaming session afterwards, performance remained solid while silence was in full effect. I found no issues with any of the cabling, or the installation of the unit...."
