I think the Red model numbers are well known and documented in this thread. CrystalDiskInfo is one tool that will show you the model number before you shuck. Pretty sure I saw someone post on Reddit that they put whites into a Synology NAS and they worked fine. I think it was a ds218+...

I had resisted these for so long, mainly because I don't have a NAS box yet, but I finally bit on two of the NESNs at $149. Both have EFAX drives and tested OK using the "Extended Test" included in the WD Data Lifeguard Diagnostics tool so I'm more than happy. Now I need to go shopping for a...

My Omen has a build date of Sept. 2016. It does have a bit of back light bleed in the corners and 1 stuck pixel. In my opinion, the back light bleed looks much worse in the photo than it does to the naked eye. It doesn't appear to me that my Omen has any significant banding either.

I've been trying to do some lag tests against a crt I still have laying around. Using the test at http://www.lagom.nl/lcd-test/response_time.php My initial estimate of the input lag is about 39.22 ms (using the frame counter diff in the test) or 43.23 ms (using a best guess of the time diff in...

White is the new black.

I decided to give it a shot. At $274.99 (with the extra $25 off coupon) it was to hard to pass up :)

Nice, the red & black color scheme would match the rest of my system perfectly.

Add me to the list of those that hope AnandTech doesn't fade away. Like [H], there is a lot of good info on that site. I first started visiting [H] about the time Sharky sold his site. SharkyExtreme, FiringSquad and so many others have become empty shells of what they once were (if they even...

First and foremost for me, the case must be visually appealing.

Ordered. Thanks OP.

One of the hardest things for me to grasp with this is, if I don't want my corporate data stored on users devices (mentioned several times in the vid) what makes you think I'm ok storing it in some third-party cloud?

Personally I think the 290 @$400 is going to stir the pot even further. AMD is being pretty aggressive with their pricing. Nvidia, not so much, but I expect they will adjust pricing in some form (albeit kicking and screaming) when sales numbers start trickling in. With PhysX, better coolers...

The dust has yet to settle as there are a couple of "cards" left to be played :) I expect to pick up a 280X or a 770 in the near future, but I don't need it today. I'll wait a few more weeks and assess the situation then.

Fab related jobs represent about half the employees at the Hudson site. The other half will reportedly not be impacted, at least by the job cuts. Intel acquired the Hudson fab in 1998 from DEC as part of the StrongARM settlement, so the fab is actually older than that. Intel then put $800...

I had stuttering in Skyrim on the 13.4 drivers. After I finished the main quests several weeks ago, I started installing graphical improvement mods and also made several .ini performance tweaks, mainly related to better use of multi-core cpus. The stuttering went away and I haven't seen it...

An Enermax case would make me better looking :)

Another vote here for Ramdisk. Faster loading files is always a good thing.

I would use the extra time to work on overclocking the ASUS video card I would put in my system :D

Enermax PSUs are always on my short-list.

Hmm, Intel selling Havok to AMD would be surprising :D

I haven't done any benchmarking, but Skyrim seems to be running less smoothly with 13.1.

Galaxy cards look great and run fast!

Flashsale - SkyRim is 50% off ($29.79), Hearthfire is 51% off ($2.47) and Dawnguard is 50% off ($9.92). I'd like to pick this game up but haven't really been tracking the prices that closely. Is this the time to snag it?

Galaxy cards offer great value for your money and they look sweet!

These things are FAST!

Galaxy makes great looking cards!

Galaxy cards are just plain good looking!

I'm hoping to find out just how great Galaxy cards are by winning one :)

With their latest offerings, AMD's gpus continue to offer the best bang for the buck.

Galaxy makes quality cards!

I like that the latest and greatest Radeons deliver great bang-for-the-buck!

I agree with these comments. I've been playing WOT on and off since the beta and have never bought premium. My current line up is Tiger II, M26, Hummel, PzIII/IV, T-50, T-34 and the A10. I have the E-75 (and a couple tier 6/7) researched but either don't have the credits to buy them or don't...

Sweet!

I'm not sure I would classify the boost as noticeable, but hey, it is a free boost :) It will depend on the game of course, but from what I recall you are looking at an FPS boost of somewhere between 2% - 8%. Here are some tests [H] did on a dual bios card that ships with the shaders unlocked...

With DirectCU II Cooling and GTX 660Ti efficiency, this card looks to deliver impressive overclocking potential. Couple that with the excellent product quality and design ASUS is known for and it begs the question "What more could you want?".

I'm happy with the performance of my Zalman and I see its $27 after rebate on Newegg. That's one option for you but there are a number of good coolers out there.

A reference 6950 fits in an Antec 300.

Funny, the pic posted on the front page reminds me of my old Compaq iPaq.

My last two cases have been Antecs. They were both quality cases. No issues, no complaints just good stuff!

Maybe MS could get some raunchy lessons from XFX? http://www.brightsideofnews.com/news/2012/6/9/video-xfx-is-sex-at-the-computex-taipei-2012.aspx
