    Good reliable WiFi Card

    I was wondering the same thing as you earlier, and another poster told me to download the chipset drivers rather than netgear drivers, similar to getting the chipset driver from intel/amd rather than mobo manf. Your chipset is RT8187L, get the latest w7 drivers from here. Realtek only has...

    Good Desktop Wireless Card

    Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't know about getting the drivers from RALINK, I usually got them from the Rosewill site. I guess its kinda like getting a graphics driver from ati/nvidia vs. getting it from the video card manufacturer. -EDIT- are there any desktop or usb solutions with an...

    New gaming-rig!

    Looks good. The video card will be a tight fit in that case, but the ASUS triple slot gtx 580 has great cooling. Happy gaming.

    Galaxy GTX 560 TI White Edition

    White PCBs are sexy! I wonder why there aren't more of them on the market today. That's news to me. I thought BFG as a company disbanded not but a few years ago?

    Gigabyte GTX 470 SOC Aftermarket Cooler Options

    Summer has been pretty hard on my GTX 470. . I've looked into some aftermarket coolers, in particular the Zalman VF3000F. In fact I've already bought it (was able to snag at $40). The Gigabyte 470 SOC has a custom-PCB design however, and Zalman specs their coolers to nvidia reference design...
