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

    I need a Corsair Force drive because it's faster than my current SSD, and it's time to join the front lines.

    what to replace 2x - gtx460 768 with?

    Sell them for whatever you can get now, and get a 569TI or 6950 to tide you over until the launch of next gen.

    I'm in the market for a mid range GPU - Nvidia or AMD ???

    Isn't system ram more important that vram for photo editing:?

    Why do so many sellers say no Paypal-CC payment ?

    What's the consensus on storing large sums of money in paypal? Lets put it at 3K. Good or bad idea?

    Why do so many sellers say no Paypal-CC payment ?

    I had an eBay seller openly violate eBay TOS and make me cover the additional PP fees and eBay fees incurred on his sale via inflated shipping costs. I brought it up with him and his simple response was "I sell items on eBay and it is my livelihood. I do not sell for charity. If you don't...

    Worth upgrading from 6970 to a GTX 580?

    Go big or go home. That you're even asking yourself, OP, says enough. I was lucky to find myself in the position of whether or not I should add a second 580 to mine to SLI. I did, and haven't looked back. Waste of money? Perhaps, but I was ready to spend it anyway.

    Please recommend my first SSD :)

    Crucial M4. With the new 009 firmware update that was released, increasing speeds dramatically, and no freezing / instability issues to boot (SandForce i'm looking at you), it's pretty much the go to for an SSD these days. Not to mention it has constantly a ton of sales.

    200mm radiators

    The Silverstone FM181 fans (180mm) have decent static pressure ratings, and they fit on the Phobya 200 Extreme radiator... for what it is worth.

    Well I did what I thought I wouldn't 4870 X2 to 6950 unlock.

    I had considered the very same move but decided to wait it out for another generation and then plonk this card in the spare.

    Best card for 1680 x 1050 gaming?

    My 4870x2 is still chugging along quite nicely at 833/915, so a 5870 would be more than enough considering it outperforms the 4870x2 somewhat. And while many people will cite VRAM has some kind of huge issue, I find I hit my acceptable-playable-FPS wall at 1680x1050 in a game like GTA IV...

    Good gaming site?

    Escapist Magazine is always fun.

    Clint Mansell composing Mass Effect 3!!

    Mansell music would have easily fit in the final moments of ME2... so if ME3 takes a turn for the more serious, I don't see why not.

    Where can I buy an mATX P67 motherboard?

    I don't think that many e-tailers are selling many P67 boards at all, let alone the very limited number of mATX boards (I think at the moment there is only the Asus?)

    460 GTX SLI vs. 6870 (on a budget)

    Unless you can get one of those line graphs that plots fps over time. The hitch will almost certainly bring a downward spike. Also, OP, microstuttering benchmark charts for you might be useful.
