That price is just ridiculous. Even worse, the controller is reported there to be $250, the base/docking station $100, and the keyboard (one thing razor's made for years) won't be ready for months, or included. Also, I wonder how much it weighs.

Alright, I tested with a few games. The temps were a bit lower (and much lower, depending on the game). All games are on 1920x1200, and highest in game settings. (all were playable, though skyrim slowed once or twice briefly). Playing Dota 2: 60-75% usage and 77C (32% fan) BFBC2: 99% usage...

I recently put together a new computer to replace my aging q66, and the only thing I'm continuing to use right now is my 5850. However, after putting everything together and looking more closely, I'm seeing a bit of a problem. For reference, this is the card I have. I've had it since late...

What sort of office work is this? Is it just running microsoft word/excel/general office applications, emails/web browsers, or more intensive with things like video or image editing? Is there any kind of cpu intensive work? Do you need a discrete graphics card, or will onboard graphics do for...

Thanks Danny. I found the article to be quite interesting. I'll be keeping stock for now, though may introduce a side fan in the near future (and possibly top exhaust, who knows, I might mess around with it, but I now have a better idea anyhow). Also, this is news to me that power usage from...

Well the MSI Z77A-GD55 looks pretty decent from what I can tell. Anyone know much about ASUS P8Z77-V LE? It seems the ASUS has more power phases, though I don't really know what difference that will make. For fans, I would prefer quieter fans. I may put that off, get the case and use it as it...

Lets get these questions out of the way first. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Largely web browsing and gaming. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Roughly $800. I dont expect any lower, cannot go above $900. 3)...

You know, I wouldnt. I looked at the 650hx and 750hx, and decided I liked the 750 based on it being a bit more efficient, but I'm 100% certain I would be fine with a 650HX, which after rebate and discount, comes to $73.50. I havnt looked into the 650hx at all for prices/sales, but at half the...

I'm looking at getting a 750HX for an ivy bridge build in .. well, April, when Ivy Bridge comes out. I've basically decided on getting a 750HX and corsair 400R, and looking for good deals on these items between now and then because they shouldn't depreciate or be replaced like some things might...

Hey guys, I'm currently looking for a good mid-tower case to suit my next build. To keep this a little simple since I dont know the complete specs of my coming build, I'll be using a full atx motherboard, planning on getting a i5 3570k, quite possibly a thermalright true spirit 120. Along with...

Well, I've had my current machine together and running for about 3 years now and I think it's time to upgrade. For a point of reference, I currently have a Q6600@3.2, evga nvidia 680i mobo, 2x2gb ddr2, ati radeon 5850, antec 900 case, corsair 650tx psu, and uh... 2x wd 640gb AAKS, 2x wd 1tb...

Hello, as the title says, I'm looking for a new chair. I am currently unemployed so my options are limited to $200 at most. I've had my current chair for somewhere around 2 years and it's been nice I guess for what it was but it's really time for a new one. it was $60 or something at the...

"By protecting our products from theft, and therefore our revenue margins, there are so many things we can afford. Sheer profit is one of them, absolutely. I am not going to deny that. It is far from the last of them though, and many other benefit you as a customer. We can keep our prices lower...

I'm not trying to make you sound like an idiot, but in all those steps, you didn't mention turning on the PS3. Assuming you did, I would look at that adapter, and make sure it works. I would also check and make sure the HDMI cable's good, and finally make sure the DP port on the monitor...

I'm using DVI for the samsung, DP for the HP. I guess I can try moving the samsung to the other DVI. (I'll try that before posting this) Okay, there appears to be no change by doing that. If I were to use DVI instead of DP I guess that could do it.
