    Cooler Master RC690 Gallery

    Heres my crappy pic. got it from zipzoom with the 30 MIR to setup my dads system in. couldnt pass up the deal seeing as it goes for more then 70$ in some places. overall, i like the design and layout, only thing id change is the usb ports on the face instead of the top since the case is...

    Aurora case window sucks

    first off, its not the plastic side panel. its the fact that you had a closed system. a steel, wood, etc solid side panel would have given the same results. the mesh side lets heat escape the system more efficiently since its an open air source. im sure a plastic side with holes ((if such a...

    Why are LCDs glassless?

    actually, sony tried the plastic idea on one of their older laptops. PCG-XG500 series, which i still have working just fine, actually has a piece of plastic covering the screen. its held on by 2 tabs on the top, and slides in on the bottom of the screen face. it can be easily removed and...

    PSU Cleaning

    to get it really clean, u gotta take it out of the case. you can use a can of air, just make sure to have it out in an open area. the dust cloud that comes out of the unit will swallow up anything near it. everytime i spray out my psu's i can hardly believe how much crud has accumulated in...

    Do not purchase an Antec power supply, you will regret it!

    well, im posting back with my opinion and an update to my psu RMA. took 36$ for fedex 2-3 day delivery, 1 week turn around time from the moment they got it, and i get new ones. overall, the RMA isnt bad, xept for the fact that i had to put in 36$ to cover shipping costs to them. hopefully...

    protective cover stuck on core 2 duo

    dont put it in the oven, at least i think thats a bad idea anyway. if i were in your shoes, id try either a hair dryer, or nice sunny area. some tweezers would probably help too, i dont think anything should be damaged, just that the plastic is stuck to the bottom. try some zippo lighter fluid...

    Dual core in socket 754?

    I highly doubt that to be true, but i really WANT it to be. it would make sense since amd has no mobile dual core chip to compete with intel, and all mobiles are on socket 754. if they wanna keep up with competition, they are gonna have to make a duallie for the mobile market. of course...
