    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    Yeah, it's a shame that these connectors all have such large rear frames. I hoped someone would sell ones with the minimum possible profile as I'd have thought there must be other situations where people could use them, not just SG05 users. Many of the less well designed full ATX or micro ATX...

    [YourNewCase] SUGO ... 5! GO!

    I'm putting together a SG05 soon to double up as a HTPC and portable LAN gaming machine. The tricky part is choosing the graphics card for it. In an ideal world I'd use the 5870 from my main desktop PC (as an excuse to upgrade to a 7970 ;)). However there's a very strong possibility it just...

    Was Eyefinity/Surround a fad?

    The only Eyefinity setup that makes sense, for me, is one where your central monitor, serving your central vision, is your best one. It makes no sense, to me, to spend twice as much money on my peripheral vision as on my central, detail-perceiving vision. Especially if I then do something which...

    Intel Delaying Mass Shipments of Ivy Bridge Processors?

    As I said in the thread on this elsewhere in the forum, this might only apply to laptop processors. Though the report is vague so we can't tell very well either way. I'm just hoping that it doesn't affect desktop CPUs or that if it does the "small volume of the processors in early April" will...

    Ivy Bridge Delayed Until June.

    The article talks about notebook processors a lot. Is there any possibility that it isn't referring to desktop CPUs? If it does refer to desktop CPUs as well, it looks as though there will be a little bit of stock in April. So... look forward to serious price gouging? This is a huge nuisance...

    SSDs in RAID 0, performance over time?

    Hi all, I have two 160GB Intel 320 SSDs. I plan on using them in RAID 0 on an X58 motherboard for a good combination of speed and capacity. This setup is going to come into its own when the 11.5 version of Intel's Rapid Storage Technology comes out with support for TRIM on RAID 0. But that...

    Want to upgrade to a mechanical keyboard and a new mouse...

    Both of my Filco keyboards (an older full-size Majestouch with Browns and a newer Majestouch 2 tenkeyless with Browns) are USB, with a PS/2 adapter which you can choose to use if you wish. With the PS/2 adapter they are true n-key rollover and on USB they are 6-key rollover.

    Ask ASUS...Anything.

    When Ivy Bridge is released will your new microATX and mini ITX motherboards come out at the same time as the ATX boards, or a few weeks/months later? When are we likely to see ASUS motherboards which incorporate Thunderbolt connectors? Thanks!

    Assassins Creed Brotherhood DRM confirmed

    My views on the matter are explained here more eloquently than any post I could hope to compose.

    Best simulators? Flight/Driving?

    As far as flight sims are concerned, it depends a lot on what sort of sim you want. Sims based around modern fighter aircraft are different from WW2 sims. Personally my preference is for WW2 and I would recommend that you wait for IL-2 Sturmovik: Cliffs of Dover to be released near the end of...

    Flight Sim Lovers: IL2 COD Release this March

    I've been waiting for this for many years! I just hope they don't spoil it by putting silly DRM in. This is Ubisoft, after all.

    How much DDR3 for sandy bridge?

    As far as I know (not a lot!) video encoding uses a lot of RAM. Personally I'd feel a bit claustrophobic with "only" 4 GB. Sadly with dual-channel RAM the only step up is to 8, which will certainly be enough at least. I like 6 GB as a happy medium on X58.

    Future pc games that will tax high end video cards?

    Battle of Britain: Storm of War is one to add to the list of upcoming games. The screenshots that have been released so far are generally at medium-ish detail settings. It is likely that no PC available at release will be able to max it out. There's also an A-10 sim on the way which you might...

    Who said AMD OpenCL Client was VaporWare?

    Great news. No doubt it'll finally be released just as the weather starts to warm up though xD

    Sandy Bridge Pricing Leak?

    A core i7 920 at ~4GHz will do around 32,000 ppd (that's a rough estimate based on my own PC) on bigadv work units. These Sandy Bridge processors should do at least as much, and more I'd hope (the only downside to them is less memory bandwidth due to dual channel memory, but they should...
