I ordered two Asus 290x from Amazon.com a week ago at $550 each. They were out of stock but said they would email me when they had a shipping estimate. A few days ago the card was no longer offered by Amazon.com, but my order was still in place. This morning, I found an Amazon.com listing of the...

Bowling for Soup - High School Never Ends

I'm still using my 3 year old Nexus One. It is time to replace it since it is randomly rebooting and GPS randomly stops working. I think I will go with the Galaxy S4. Replaceable battery is important for me, since I tend to keep the same phone for a long time. I also want a Micro-sd card so I...

I went to Fry's a couple weeks ago with the intention of getting a mechanical keyboard. Using a Model M and not having a Windows Key in Win8 was driving me nuts. I have to say, I hated how every single keyboard I tried felt. There's something to be said for buckling springs instead of switches...

Life-time subscriber to The Secret World here. If I am going to play it for life, at least let me play it with TXAA :D

Right, if I can't use full res, I don't want it. Maybe my reasoning was incorrect "if it only has 1gb of ram I won't be able to run things well at 2880x1800", but it is basically the same conclusion. Which is exactly what I wanted to find out by starting this thread. It isn't arbitrary...

Sorry, I meant for the video card

Well, the Mac Book news came and went, and I decided not to get one. Wanted at least 2 gigs of ram for the Geforce 650M. Bummer. Hey, at least I will save myself some money buying a PC notebook instead ;)

Thanks for the input, everyone. If those new Mac Books have a decent enough video card, most likely end up with one.

TLDR: Do LCDs still look like shit when running at non-maxed resolution? I'm in the market for a new laptop and have my choices down to two. I am waiting until next week to see what the announcements from Apple are concerning the new MacBook Pro line. I am very interested in the retina...

I was just being very careful. I wanted to make sure the pump was submerged at all times. OCing will happen soon, once I finish Saints Row 2 (the game runs too fast over 3.2ghz). It was fun, and I am enjoying not hearing my GTX 480 try to take off. To all the other commenters, thank you...

I was scared as well, but I figured that if so many people here were doing it successfully, it is most likely a safe thing to do. That said, the instructions that come with the watercooling kit was not enough to do it right. I read many posts on here and the watercooling FAQ and it helped round...

This weekend I installed my first water cooling system. I did it the hard way, having a system I had already been using for a bit and adding water cooling to it. I purchased a XSPC Rasa 750 RX360 and the XSPC Watercooling block for my video card. My CPU is an intel i5-2500K and I'm still using...

Found it. It is the Frederik. Thanks!

Awesome work. I'm installing my first watercooling kit in my case this weekend, but am still jealous of your super clean build. I know mine won't end up looking that nice. What I am actually interested in is that desk you have. I've been looking for something like that for my music setup. If...
