    Gaming Hardware Needs to Grow Up

    I like my PC silent and invisible thanks. I do appreciate keyboard backlighting of a single colour (preferably white) at the lowest brightness and actually lighting the key symbol rather than mostly lighting the loose hairs between my keys.

    Boeing’s EMP Weapon Knocks Out Power from the Sky

    Because the EMP dictated that they use a non-electric camera. Surely we are seeing the result of digitization of film from a hand wound camera. /irony A room of computers loses power but the camera keeps rolling...

    Microsoft Demos Windows Holographic Running Windows 10 Apps

    I have prepared a spot for this in my collection, right next to Bob.

    Silverstone SX500-LG 500W Gold SFX-L

    Sorry if it's been discussed and I don't have one to look at myself but... Has anyone considered modding the thermistor instead of the fan? An ideal solution might be to add a resistor in series or parallel to bump the curve in the right direction. For bonus points use an externally...

    The MHz keyboard, next gen thoughts

    Interesting and relevant. Thanks Archmage. Firstly a couple of people have mentioned keyboard "feel" as most important. I assumed this was so obvious that I didn't think it was worth addressing. Far am I from suggesting that you could take a $5 OEM keyboard put some new switches in and...

    The MHz keyboard, next gen thoughts

    The target audience I was thinking of is the professional / serious gamer. If a 3 orders leap in key reporting precision boosts anyone's game by even less than 1% that's a nice advantage. I would be surprised if it didn't result in a touch typing wpm increase too. Don't underestimate the...

    The MHz keyboard, next gen thoughts

    I recently built a programmable footswitch macro keyboard for myself and it got me thinking about possible advances in keyboard design. Here are some ideas on how I think next gen keyboards could lift the game. + Internal key press response in the order of 1us (microsecond) This is achievable...

    Violent Video Games In 3-D Can Lead To higher Levels Of Anger

    In my experience scrabble leads to higher levels of anger than computer games, violent or otherwise. This is bunk.

    ASUS Z97 Deluxe LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Yeah I was wondering about NDA too Very nice to see an M keyed M.2 slot supporting PCIe x4 performance. Can't wait to see a good NVMe drive that takes advantage of all that bandwidth.

    AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Video Card Review @ [H]

    Only 9 degrees difference between core temperature and radiator exhaust air. Does this seem suspicious to anyone else? Is it possible core temps are being under-reported?

    AMD Radeon R9 295X2 Video Card Review @ [H]

    For those asking how this is any better than 290SLI... Quad Crossfire on Haswell. must be the outright king of gaming setups now right?

    The Must See Video of the Day

    He has 2 cameras, first backward, then forward view. There appeared to be an odd delay when opening his chute, a stone getting in the way maybe? Why did he turn left while the chute was still deploying? Seems to me we have a fairly skilled/bored skydiver looking for a youtube film trick...

    NCASE M1 version changelog and suggestions thread

    I would like to see ventilation along bottom edges of both side panels to allow quieter non-blower graphics coolers to breathe better and heat up the case less.

    exfinium-air my next scratch build

    While an SFX PSU would reduce the height by a bit less than an inch, it would limit options for overclocking and also be louder than a good ATX PSU. With this design I'm not looking to compromise performance or noise at all to reduce dimensions. I wouldn't run a mains PSU out of it's case...

    exfinium-air my next scratch build

    exfinium.com/air I'm starting to make plans for my next build. It probably won't come together until Broadwell is ready. Maybe we'll have a real new graphics generation by then too. The focus for this design is all about airflow. I'm shooting for the pinnacle of air cooling performance...
