    PS4 headset recommendations?

    If Wired or wireless did not matter Hands down the Sennheiser HD598 with an Astro mixiamp. I'm on the hunt for a wireless set up myself. I tried the skullcandy Plyr 1, sent them back didn't work with my PS 4 (I want true wireless, no cords between controller and headset.) Currently...

    Would you buy a PS3 now?

    Nope no way. Hated the PS3 controller thus never gamed on it. Xbox 360 for that generation. Now the PS4 is another story, love the controller. I have now boxed up the ps3 and xbox 360.

    Defiance Discussion Thread

    couldn't figure out how to get the free weekend deal so I figured for 30% off I would just purchase it. Not as bad as lot of people make it out to be. Some respawn's take forever. Graphics not great but not as bad as some make it out. Still trying to figure a lot of things out. like how to add...

    Finally getting around to playing this game. hard to find low ping server on west coast it seems, then takes forever to load into game, like 3 to 5 min. Once in the game all is good. Is this normal? few populated servers and long load times before getting into servers game?

    anyone playing black ops on 360?

    A new patch release this past week reinstated CTF mode, it is no longer just Flags, god I hated when they did that. I'm glad now that I can play CTF when I want. I am not really into Team Death match but CTF I really like and I don't mind staying back and defending. I have had a few 4-26...

    Need a Quiet 60mm Fan. Yeah I know thats not possible. But...

    Looking for a quiet 60mm also, so Good Luck on your hunt. I can tell you that I am limited to a 15mm thickness so far I have tried Delta EFB0612MA which is only 10mm thick but is too noisy for me. Next I'm going to try the SUNON KDE1206PHV2 60mm which is 15mm thick and if that is too noisy...

    Thank you For the sake of this thread that's what I'm going to do, it still a project in the works, so why not, plus its only one drive and I don't have anything on that hard drive yet so its best to do it now. For my gaming system I'll leave well enough alone.

    I get so confused about what to do but this discussion is about 6 months old now. Which is a lifetime in PC world. http://www.overclock.net/hard-drives-storage/675604-ahci-vs-ide-2.html So if I read this right AHCI doesn't do anything for me. But like I said it old.

    I just pulled out the User manual on the Zotac sure enough it has AHCI, probably have to do a reinstall of windows but thats not a problem. I'll just wait until I get that hard drive. On my gaming system I run two SSD's in Raid 0 I probably should run those in AHCI what do you think?

    Today's HTPC Video Card Recommendations

    In my option. If you are just building a HTPC why not just stick with the I3 or I5? http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/graphics/2010/02/09/radeon-hd-5450-review/8 the ATI just doesn't offer any benefit.
