    New Windows Ad Incenses Apple Fans

    so let me get this right... you own a mac right? so that makes you a mac owner? Yes you got it right, if my mother, her relatives, and my friends all had macs then they would need to know nothing about computers because they would just work. Consequently I would also have more free time on my...

    HP = new one every 3 years because you upgrade ram and hard drive and its still slowing down more everyday. MAC = new one in 5 years, much better specs not really any slower. If i don't have the cash then I will wait for a new one after 6 years. That cheap HP really costs much more than the...

    Uncool To Be a Mac User in These Tough Times?

    Three weeks ago I bought a 2.4 13.3 Unibody. Everything works out of the box, it just works. $40 for parallels, now I can install my windows xp and vista discs, its painless. OSX is easy for novices and power users alike. I looked at getting a dell and the Mac really was around the same price...

    Tagan A+ Black Pearl Info

    I bought this case for $89.99 US plus tax about two weeks ago. I guess they are being discontinued, at least at Frys. I walked by it and thought "this looks exactly like a Lian-Li (it is a re-branded V2000ish). I feel bad about my Stacker but this Tagan is much lighter. The only real draw backs...

    Looking for Desk retailers

    Ikea gets much love from serious computer users. People still want to purchase the Jerker, which has been discontinued and replaced by the Fredrik. How many desks have an adjustable table top? This one moves from 25 5/8 to 38 5/8". It has a cable shelf for organization. I still have an old desk...

    Question about Raid Controllers

    I have run into a problem that I am sure many others have too, I recently bought a 9800GTX for my system. Turns out that the behemoth of a card blocks 2 of my 4 SATA ports. So my question is this, can I buy a RAID card and use it to add my SATA hard drives? I do not want to create any RAID...

    Gefore 8/9 Prices after GT200 Release

    I found a pretty good deal oddly enough through a frys store and not online from Newegg (for once!). I picked up a stock EVGA 9800GTX for $350 -$50 Instant -$50 MIR. So all said and done I got the card for $270 (with tax) once I get the rebate from EVGA.

    Project: The Sleeper

    This should be an awesome project. I have an idea but I am not sure how much time/money/finger-slicing you want to endure. It would be awesome to make that front of the case open like a door (even the Optical drive front plate). Inside the door that swings open, a backplane like this is...
