    GIGABYTE GA-Z97N-WIFI LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    These days fewer and fewer motherboards offer two wired NICs and I can’t figure out why GIGABYTE felt that was necessary. I would posit that some of Gigabyte's designs are done with the idea of selling them to appliance builders, who need dual-NICs for something akin to a pfsense or Untangle...

    SilverStone Olympia 1000W Power Supply 7 Year Redux @ [H]

    Interesting article. I think one of Paul's notes at the end is really important. n addressing that simple curiosity, and our observations, a few caveats should be noted. While this was a fun look at what has happened to one particular unit over time, this observation is of a completely...

    Comcast Blocking HBO Go App On PS4

    Spyware Violates Human Rights Guidelines

    I think you could argue that spyware has the potential to violate human rights guidelines. Taken to possible conclusions, what if an authoritarian regime used spyware to spy on its citizens, and then arrest them for "thought crime"? So, if a company is willing to sell spyware to parties...

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    The Gen8 has USB3. I have one. My external backup drive is hooked up via USB3, and works great. Also, if you look at the HomeServerShow forums, you can find a dedicated user who has manufactured a metal drive bracket that hangs off the power supply and can hold two 2.5" drives in addition to...

    WTB: mATX Z77 or H77 mainboard

    Okay, folks. The SO's system is having some glitches that I believe are mainboard related. It's running a Core i5-2500 CPU, which is plenty for what she does, so I'm looking for a replacement board, but I'm a little picky as to the requirements. Needs: -Must be Micro ATX -Must have a USB3...

    Why Sex Matters In Witcher 3

    I dunno. I think sex has its place in video games, as long as it's in context. Just like violence does, but in context. Take Wolfenstein: The New Order. There's some sex; it fits in with the story. They don't blow it out of proportion or make it more than it needs to be. I admit that...

    FS: ASUS STRIX Geforce GTX 970 4GB card

    Hey all, This card is about two months old. Never overclocked, and in perfect shape. Selling because due to some Amazon funds from Christmas, I can afford a STRIX GTX 980. I have experienced no coil whine with it either. Card will come in original box with all original accessories except...

    The Hackers Who Hit Sony Also Threatened CNN

    While unethical, I don't see a hack of a major media outlet (FOX, CNN, etc.) as being boring. I'd be very, very interested to know e-mail chains that showed clear bias in reporting, favoring things like political sides, one side or the other of a hot-button issue (e.g., police brutality...

    8gb vs 16gb

    Having just found this 2 x 8gb kit for 130 I might have to reverse my previous post. http://m.newegg.com/Product/index?itemnumber=N82E16820231673&utm_medium=Email&utm_source=IGNEFL122514&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL122514&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL122514-_-EMC-122514-Index-_-DesktopMemory-_-20231673-S1A2C

    8gb vs 16gb

    With the price of DDR3 being what it is, I'd say no. I bought my 16GB of RAM when DDR3 cost half as much as it does now. I couldn't justify it at current pricing. I don't think you get out what you're putting in. I think you're better off saving your money for something else. If you don't...

    Assassin's Creed Unity Performance Video Card Review @ [H]

    When I bought a GTX 970, it was easy to figure out what to do with the game coupon. I sold it so I could buy a non-Ubisoft game. Take not just the bugs, but a requirement to use UPlay (yet-another-DRM-scheme masquerading as a game service I also do not want) even on a Steam game, and there's...

    Eleven Gadgets That Died Too Early

    The Amiga belongs on the list. I had a ReplayTV - it got sued into debt it couldn't overcome, but it truly beat out the TiVo in UI. Its automatic commercial skip and show-sharing with other ReplayTV owners were both ahead of their time and what got them sued out of existence. Mine got used...

    WTB: Far Cry 4

    I have an nVidia code. I'd be willing to trade in order to get Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, if you have a way to do so, as I wish I'd been able to get my card when this was available.

    XFX R9 280 Double Dissipation 3GB Video Card Review @ [H]

    Very nice. I got two of XFX's factory OC-ed DD R9 280X cards, used, but mint, for $175 each, about four months back. Still happy with that purchase. Nothing I can think of that they won't run well at 1920x1200.

    The Evil Within TGS Trailer

    Agreed. Graphics were great, and yet it looked terrifyingly awful. I don't play games like that for the same reason I don't watch Criminal Minds. There's a point where, even if I know it exists, I don't want to know the extent of evil. I'd rather spend my time thinking about (and being...
