    Ad Feedback - venomcomputers.com

    That's the ad in question, so it's so terribly ugly I've been afraid to click it but I got bored and decided eh, what the hell, how bad could it be. Really, really bad. It seems like it's an out-of-the-basement sort of ordeal and the prices are 1) Terrible 2) Hilarious terrible and 3) The...

    Wayyyy out of the game on overclocking components... HALP! :)

    So, Building a 2700k machine in the next 2-4 weeks (Wooo retail edge!) I've got the motherboard choice pretty much narrowed down to either a P8P67 Pro, or the Maximus? (Whatever the ~$300ish intel one is. Because it would be easier to WC with that board. ;) Lower profile mosfet cooler and...

    iPhone - OS7 Skin w/ Live tiles

    Anyone else using it? I'm daily driving it on my iPhone (not my primary device! But I use it a lot. ) and it's fantastic. Absolutely brilliant and beautiful. Auto-create works on most icons, it's fast, it's WAY nicer looking than the stock UI... I can't find much to complain about :) Check...

    Creative T40 opinions?

    So... I could be getting a set for 50... Can't tell you how or why (One time deal ;) ) but I'm thinking they're probably a pretty good deal at that. I have Logitech x530's right now, and I can't stand the sound quality. Miserable little things. And the creatives were always a favorite of mine...

    Stupid video cards. Hard locking with a 4850.
