I want a giant monitor and 3 GTX 280 graphics cards.... BTW, I thought the video was great I enjoy seeing what you guys actually do for testing. I'd like to see longer ones with you guys setting everything up. Besides in stores, it's not often that you see so many GPUs together.

It's been 1 and 1/2 years. :) http://www.apple.com/pr/library/2005/jun/06intel.html

LoL...well it's certainly friendly for the average user, but for anyone actually trying to get work down you have to dig a little too deep to get anything to work properly.

You know, I'm not sure what exactly to think of your article. While I have used a MacBook Pro for a year now, you're 30 day use in no way reflects my first use. However, I had previously been a linux user so maybe I'm quicker at figuring things out.... Here are a few things that bothered me...

Anyone else remember that Bill Gates isn't (technically) in charge of of Microsoft? I think Steve Ballmer is a much scarier person to mess with...that man is CRAZY! Thompson is not going to get out of this battle alive. :D

Nice article, but I was curious about something. The temperatures you show are for your bench case (which is pretty cool), but tells absolutely nothing from the consideration of a closed case. Maybe it won't make a big difference with a water cooled setup, but I think it's something worth...

I think it should be noted that big OEMs (such as dell and gateway) never actually "install" any software on their sold computers (no matter how customized they are). Big OEMs used a mirroring/imaging system to put the data on a hard drive, this is why the drivers are rarely up to date. Dell...

You didn't mention anything about video quality or file formats available for recording. I think it'd also be nice to see the CPU usage of the device while it's recording. Let's say I'm working on a web page, or in Adobe Photoshop when the recorder kicks in. How does this affect the total...

I would have really liked to see how HL2 did, but other then that it was a good article.

The best part of this review is actually the motherboard in question. For someone who's building a small system that is based on mATX, I sometimes look at boutique places to see what parts they're using. I've already read about the ATi chipset having problems, but I can imagine someone looking...

While the prices for a local store are right on the money, and this review puts them in a shining light, i have to say that our local store here hires some rather braindead employees. I don't know how many times i started laughing at the person behind the desk as they tried to describe why a...

but Monarch Computers has the x1800 XL listed. 2 cards actually, but they won't ship until October 12th. http://www.monarchcomputer.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Store_Code=M&Screen=SRCH&Search=x1800 EDIT: Okay, one card is suppose to ship on the 12th, the other doesn't say.

I honestly don't understand why anyone would want to run Windows on these computers anyway. Think about it, we have Wine and Transgaming's Cedega. I've used both in Linux and had some luck with both. I had Interenet Explorer 6 running! Imagine what you can do with a closed hardware, based...

The reason why they won't is because they'll lose stability. While microsoft will run on just about anything, no one is going to guarentee you how well it will run. Apple can guarentee you'll get X amount of performance on our hardware. If they allow other to install it on other systems...

Marketing is probably the big reason Apple went with Intel, that and the Pentium M line. As it stands, laptops are outselling desktop computers and Apple is rapidly falling behind on that market. By the time the switch occurs, Apple will have Access to Intel Dual Core Pentium M CPUs that are...
