    Corsair Carbide Series 600Q EATX Case Review @ [H]

    I'd like this case a lot better if the PSU/drive bays were on the bottom. I'm having a tough time seeing this as an enthusiast case with those GPU temps. I can see how a left-handed person would love this case due to it being more friendly.

    Apple May Replace 3.5mm Headphone Jack With Lightning Connector For iPhone 7

    "and have a DAC, or digital-to-audio converter" Last I looked DAC stood for digital to ANALOG converter. Oh well. Creating a solution to a problem that doesn't exist is a great way to make money I admit.

    Norton Antivirus Doesn't Like Microsoft Edge

    It want's to install a toolbar that has safesearch ratings for web pages that they probably make money off. For non techies it's better than nothing or Windows Defender and tries to babysit you assuming you're an idiot, which some people desperately need.

    NASA Finds 'Bright Spots' On Dwarf Planet Ceres

    I'm thinking it's just a fresh impact with ice debris. With all those impact craters a center hit is not unimaginable. Looking forward to the next batch!

    Study: Smarter People Use iPhones

    Seems like a Ford, GM, MoPar comparison. There's no distinction between models so no real way to evaluate the results. Android may be the "smarter" choice in a more blue collar state just due to the available apps (mining, farming, IDK). Totally flawed study.

    Games Are NOT Art

    I don't think he's trying to be a douche. Games are not art, they contain art, like a museum does. I think he's saying that games are such a more complex form than a simple image that it doesn't do them justice to lump them in with say, sculpture or paintings, etc. He's actually elevating games...

    Sapphire 7970 Literally Caught Fire Too

    cyclone, I'm, confused. Why did Newegg RMA a MB you had already RMA'd to ASUS? Why wouldn't you have done that in the first place (newegg)?

    Senators to Unveil the 'Ex-Patriot Act'

    In other news, the other 96% of Facebook shareholders will mostly (I have no idea) actually BE paying taxes on their windfall (when they actually sell). That's a shitload of taxes folks! Yeah USA, USA, USA! This is just a classic ambulance chasing political ploy. Way to take the bait 6 pages of...

    The 'Post-PC Era' Might Be Closer Than We Think

    I wonder if the recent launch of Sandybridge and the imminent Bulldozer has slowed sales due to people (like me) wanting to jump on the leading edge and waiting for the new tech to launch (USB 3.0 etc). It's been 3 years since my last full upgrade and some lucky schmuck will get my current rig...

    Mainboard Maker "Predicts" Launch of AMD FX "Bulldozer" Chips at Computex.

    If I get my Bulldozer rig built just before Star Wars The Old Republic comes out, I will be a happy man! Seriously, if you like Intel, then you want AMD to succeed because it makes the market healthier, just like how Microsoft needs Apple, fanboy or not.

    Corsair Announces First Shipments of Hydro Series H60

    So you mean if it was more like the H70 you would mount it to your I7 and move the H50 you currently have to your vid card? Can you clarify?

    The 15 Most Hated Companies in America

    I still dislike SONY. They have been suffering for a few years since the rootkit incident and seem to have moved away from completely proprietary hardware like memory stik, so maybe they don't deserve to be on the list anymore. I did buy a PS3 just to have a Blu Ray player that also did Netflix...

    Corsair H70 CPU Cooler Unboxing

    Agreed. You need a case with a top mounted blowhole(s) to take full advantage of this without compromising your other components, most notably your vid card(s). Just to note, an air cooler dumps hot air into the case as well, you just don't have to block off your rear fan to use one, which is...

    Labor Day Weekend Plans&#63

    Corsair Launches Dominator GT Memory for Phenom II Processors

    Corsair was not offering a DDR3 2 module matched pair kit for AM3 until now. I know because I checked a month ago and they confirmed. If you wanted to build a DDR3 AM3 system, you had to buy a 3 channel kit for intel and leave the 3rd one out if you wanted Corsair memory. I believe OCZ does...

    SLI on Life Support on the AMD Platform: Oh SNAP!

    So let's get this straight. Intel X58: Crossfire - check, SLI - check AMD AM3: Crossfire - check, SLI - nope It seems like Nvidia is just trying to make life hard on AMD/ATI so that they eventually fail. The reality is that if that strategy succeeds, they won't stand a chance against Intel...

    Corsair H50 CPU Cooler Preview.

    Reverse the airflow as everyone wants (out, not in) from the back, but duct ambient air from the room in through the case from either the side or the top blowhole, to the radiator, kind of like a piece of macaroni made from dryer vent ducting. You could then get the nice and tidy look with the...

    sSATA vs. NAS for External Storage

    Thanks for the suggestion. I do have a 2nd PC on my network, so this could be the better way for me. I live in a 1 Bdr Apt, so noise and clutter are a problem. That is why I was leanining towards a more elegant, smaller footprint as I like to keep the 2nd PC off. I like your suggestion of using...
