    Will AMD Ever Beat Intel in Single Threaded Performance?

    Ever is a very long time. Maybe by the time Intel is on 14++++++++++.

    40,000 Unionized Verizon Workers Walk Off The Job

    With the exception of about 40 retail store employees in the New York area Verizon Wireless is completely non-union. This strike is being driven by union employees at Verizon landline. The biggest sticking point in the negotiations has been regarding medical contributions. The rest of the...

    Have We Exceeded Our Computer Storage Needs?

    I have 3TB now in addition to my SSD. I probably won't upgrade that until the drive dies. I'll just keep adding space to my NAS.

    PSB Image B4 Speakers $179.99/pair Crutchfield

    I ended up doing the same. I have them hooked up as computer speakers to an SMSL 50x2 t-amp and they sound great. Paired with a PSB subwoofer they would be fantastic.

    PSB Image B4 Speakers $179.99/pair Crutchfield

    Just an update. The NAD and the PSBs sound epic together. I'm thrilled already and knowing they will only continue to get better over the next week or two is exciting. This was the best hot deal I've seen on the [H].

    PSB Image B4 Speakers $179.99/pair Crutchfield

    My Image B5's showed up yesterday and my initial response is wow! They sound fantastic with my NAD 325BEE powering them. They are quite punchy for only 5" drivers. I can't wait to see how they sound over the next couple of weeks as they fully break in. I'm quite pleased to say the least.

    PSB Image B4 Speakers $179.99/pair Crutchfield

    I have a set of those wires and I actually prefer their deadbolt banana plugs. I bought 50 feet of KnuKonceptz Karma Kable twisted 12 gauge wire and have been making my own cables. I've been very pleased with the results. The Sewell deadbolts are the best plugs I've used. Once they are...

    PSB Image B4 Speakers $179.99/pair Crutchfield

    Thanks for posting this. I've been lusting over some PSBs ever since I heard them locally at a high end audio dealer. I decided to ante up for the Image B5s. For the $249 price I don't think anything else can touch them. The only downside is the Dark Cherry was sold out so I ended up going...

    iPhone Scam That Targets The Poor

    The Denver Police have been investigating this for quite some time. I filed a police report about 3 years ago after we determined that a five line new account was fraud and we had to eat it. The scam artist certainly didn't look like a homeless guy. My suspicions started when they didn't want...

    Good cans 100-150 range?

    I have the ATH-M50's and I really like them. I can't say I've compared them back to back with lots of high end cans, but they sound good to my ears. I guess that is what really matters. They certainly sound far superior to any of that Beats crap you'll find at the big box stores. It is tough...

    Budget PC speakers - whats the popular route?

    Glad to hear you are enjoying the Miccas. The more I listen to them the more I like them. They are the best audio purchase I've made for the dollar in quite some time.

    wifi audio receiver

    You said no Bluetooth, but have you really considered one of the new 4.0 receivers and ruled it out? The newer ones using the apt-x technology are getting favorable reviews for sound quality. It isn't an audiophile solution, but it probably would be the easiest for what you are trying to...

    Corsair H100i $69.99

    That is a great deal on an excellent cooler. I don't need another at the moment, but it's almost worth picking up a spare for my next build. Hmmmm...

    Klipsch Promedia 5.1 Ultra's Dieing. What next?

    You might want to read through the Budget PC Speakers thread in this forum. There are a few of us with the Micca MB42x speakers who love them. For the price they are amazing. I'm currently using mine without a sub, but I am considering adding one. There are lots of choices in T-amps. Topping and...

    Budget PC speakers - whats the popular route?

    The broad stage surprised me the most. Paired with the PSW10 you should have your bases covered. (An interesting but unintentional pun) I'd love to hear your verdict. I've considered picking up a PSW10 or one of the inexpensive Monoprice subs to round out the equation. It's fun finding ways to...

    Budget PC speakers - whats the popular route?

    I'm very pleased with them, but keep in mind they are 4" drivers. They sound better than they have any right to with drivers that small, but if your musical tastes run closer to hip hop than mine do you might want to add a sub. Given the cost, the risk is pretty low to try them out. :cool:

    Budget PC speakers - whats the popular route?

    I second the Micca MB42X speakers. They sound shockingly good considering the price ($79 at Amazon) and the small size. The reviews I read were not wrong. I hooked them up to my NAD amp for testing but eventually I'll be moving them to my computer desk with a SMSL T-amp. That was another...

    What video card has served you the longest before upgrading?

    I ran my 5850 for about 3 1/2 years before upgrading to a GTX 770. Even then it was more out of desire than necessity. That was a great card.

    The case looks great. Why not paint the trim rings on the Corsair fans in matching orange?

    How many have used same old PSU for rebuilding?

    I have a Corsair HX620 that I've reused in 3 or 4 builds already. I had to think about it and it is probably approaching the 6 or 7 year old range. I'll think about replacing it next time I upgrade but since it continues to be completely rock solid it hasn't been a priority. It might be nice...

    I'm not the biggest fan of that case, but your plan looks good and I'm interested to see how it ends up. Keep up the good work.

    Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini-ITX Case Review @ [H]

    I have the case and it looks awesome. Unfortunately a few bent pins on the CPU socket meant an exchange for a new motherboard. Sadly I'd disassembled most of my previous system before I noticed. I was really looking forward to building it this weekend.

    What smartphone do you use and why?

    I have a Moto X for personal use and I love it. The specs on unimpressive but it works. I'm quite fond of the ebony wood back too. For work I have a Nokia 928. I wanted a Windows phone because I really like the experience with corporate Exchange email. I've never liked the Android email...

    Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini-ITX Case Review @ [H]

    I ordered one from Amazon this afternoon and it has an estimated delivery date of February 13-26 with Amazon Prime. It sounds like it will be in the same ballpark as Newegg.

    BitFenix Prodigy Mini-ITX PC Case

    It is a great case. I bought one so I could throw together a hackintosh with spare components. It feels very well made and is easy to work in. If I was still going to lan parties I'd build a second one as a gaming system. I bought it more for the look than the size. It feels small compared to...

    AT&T's LTE Network to Launch Sunday in 5 Cities

    Actually Verizon will be lighting up 26 more LTE markets by the end of September so it will soon be 169. The goal was 171 by the end of 2011 covering well over half of the population. It looks like that goal should be smashed with ease. The Death Star Network has lots of catching up to do.

    Verizon iPhone Hits Home Run

    You are wrong about that. Verizon currently only offers 1 smart phone data plan for the iPhone and it is unlimited. AT&T is the one that is no longer offering unlimited data to new customers.

    Update Fixes IPhone Sync Problem With Windows 7

Obviously there was more wrong with the USB settings in the earlier bios revisions than even Gigabyte was aware. If you are having trouble with...
