    Update: Microcenter Barebones Bitspower PCs -- Westmont Illinois

    FYI, for anyone looking at these. I think this is a good deal if the case works for you. There are a few things to be aware of: 1. To get hardline cooling for the EVGA cards, you have to vertical mount it. The waterblock doesn't fit other wise. That's another $270 for the GPU block kit and...

    3080 tuf repairs

    MSRP no longer matters. ASUS + MSI has been charging much higher prices (to their distributors) than what they did back in late 2020, or selling them to their distribution channel in "forced" bundles (gigabyte seems to do this more). This is a major part of why you see Newegg shuffle having...

    It's not explicitly stated in PNY's graphic card warranty policy. However PNY's memory's lifetime warranty states: "Lifetime is defined as the lifetime of the product on the market. Outdated technology is not covered by the Lifetime warranty if the item is no longer available on the market as a...

    Google Suspended Its Modular Smartphone Project

    Both Merriam-Webster and Oxford has already updated their definition of literally to include the informal usage. So literally officially means both literally and virtually. So play nice? Definition of LITERALLY http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/literally

    What is with the absolute dirge of games for PS4 and Xbox One?

    I think high development cost, and risk / limited upside is part of the problem. I think that game development (not marketing) cost for AAA games has gone from $ 20-50 mil per game to $ 60 mil+ per game. This means 2 things, 1) studios can only make half as many games with the same budget 2)...

    Nvidia Pick Your Path Bundle! [Assassin's Creed Unity, Far Cry 4, The Crew]

    UCIX has a Canadian Site and US site, which charges in either Canadian Dollars or US Dollars. THe currently conversion fee is usually assessed by your credit card company. So you won't have to pay for it if you get a credit card that doesn't charge conversion fee.

    Definitive Technology Incline Speakers $249.98 @ BB

    Great speakers for the size and best price I have seen. I think we can all get too caught up arguing the merits of paying hundreds of dollars for a small speaker when an alternative bookshelf style speaker is cheaper and better. While there's no doubt there's no chance this can compete with a...

    [STEAM] %75 off CodeMaster games

    I actually find the analog controls on a gamepad far easier to use than a wheel / pedal / shifter. it's just far faster to a move a joystick around than turn a wheel full circle. However, that does make using a joystick less realistic. Then, nothing beats the immersion experience of using a...

    Silverstone SST-SX600-G 600w Gold SFX

    Can't comment on the APC, the Cyberpower actually uses stepped approximation to Sine Wave as well. I have it with the highest capacity, with 900W+ of load at times (3 monitors connected, etc.). My apartment frequently gets 1-2sec of power outage / spikes /dips, and the Cyberpower has been doing...
