I honestly don't know wtf Logitech was thinking here, to discontinue the G9/G9X. Gripless G9/x was my favorite mouse of all time, and I've seen plenty of photos of cyberathletes using that setup as well. I don't know what I'm going to do when I wear out my current one. But I'm currently...

I have a major pet peeve when it comes to enthusiast websites doing noise comparisons, and either they'll do comparisons against various cards with stock coolers (I would never buy a stock HSF video card), or they won't mention the exact brand of the card they're comparing against, so you don't...

Not quite enough length for a mid-range card like my 7970 (267mm). The mATX version would come up slightly short too (260mm of clearance).

I saw these at the Egg yesterday, while browsing for the BitFenix Phenom. Sooo tempting to get either the itx or matx one with the side window, and build a custom "SteamBox" to show off to my gaming buddies, who have been getting hyped up over PS4/XB1. I love that case designers have finally...

Ehhh I spoke too soon. My 2TB Caviar is failing chkdsk and WD Lifeguard now. The other three drives including the SSD check out fine and memtest check out fine as well. Gonna see if Windows can repair it (minor FS corruption hopefully from the unexpected shutdown) or if it actually has bad...

So I think the earlier confusion over the warranty was due to the older OG HX line only having a five year warranty period - the newer HX and AX lines do have a seven year warranty. I ended up ordering the AX860 (regular, not "i") earlier this morning. Hopefully if this one bites the dust before...

Pretty sure it's 5 years, which would make it just out of warranty. I've been meaning to get a newer smaller one for a planned Prodigy build anyway, so I finally have a legitimate guiltfree reason to pull the trigger on the AX860 I had my eye on. Also, being that it's out of warranty, I guess...

5+ year old Corsair HX1000 blew up about half an hour ago. Loud "POP", so capacitor must have blown. I tossed my HX520 into the rig for the time being, but I plan on getting a "real" replacement soon, as the HX520 is about as old as the HX1000 was and it doesn't have 8-pin PCIes. I had to use...

I'm not sure if this is still true, but reds used to be one of the rarest Cherry switches because they stopped production due to lack to demand (before everyone discovered how great they are for gaming). I love my reds though. More so than the blues on my numpad. They're great for button...

Of course one week after I buy it for $389.99 before rebate. Arrrghhh... I wonder if Crossfire is less of a trainwreck with the new drivers coming in a week...I wonder if I'm eligible for a second rebate...

Well. At least that answers the question I was about to ask as far as how Amazon would actually ship a giant roll of bubble wrap (i.e. would they just slap a label onto it and call it a day).

I ran into this issue as well with my new 7970GE. And to top that off, the Crysis 3 key that came with it is apparently bogus as well, as a buyer found out when I sold it to him. Had to refund him and now I have to take the time to get it straightened out with AMD. They need to get their shit...
