    Truly Ergonomic 209 En-QWERTY Keyboard Launched

    I actually tried to use one of the Microsoft ones several times and just could not get adapted well enough to it without it causing me pain and discomfort. The one in the news post looks MUCH better and it does'nt have your arms so wide apart like the Microsoft one does 'tho the price is a bit...

    CyberPowerPC Drops Intel Core i7-3970X Extreme Edition CPU into New Desktop Series

    Anyone know which Cooler Master case that is? I looked over on their international site and could'nt find anything about it.

    Cooler Master Eisberg 240L Prestige CPU Cooler Launched

    Thanks for sharing that link since it really does clarify Corsair's stance on the entire "you just stick a sticker on it" comments that come up inevitably with these. The rest of the thread is pretty interesting especially the Corsair rep's additional comments on the topic of re-branding.

    Portronics Unveils My-Buddy Laptop Cooling Desk

    This would not be so bad, heck if anything the base layout is perfect, but it's WAY too narrow to accomodate a large laptop, say 15.6 inches or larger, as well as a mouse. For those in the market for a nice lap desk you may wish to consider one of these: Peck's Bent Wood Adjustable Laptop Desk...

    No More Monthly AMD Catalyst Updates?

    It's funny that this is mentioned since running older PC's, especially for those PC games that used 3DFX cards, is a hobby of mine. Before I got laid off from my last job when I had spare time I used to fuss with Mechwarrior 3 in order to try and get it working on a modern video card. After...

    No More Monthly AMD Catalyst Updates?

    I've been a longtime user of AMD/ATI hardware in my systems for a long time (last Intel system was a RAMBUS P4 setup) but this year has been nothing but disappointment outside of the Fusion/APU group. The only thing I can think of is that they had to do this because all the folks that were...

    Sharkoon Intros Nightwriter Gaming Keyboard

    BTW, I know this is counter to the topic being discussed but does anyone know of any other "short" keyboards like these: Cooler Master Quickfire Rapid http://www.coolermaster-usa.com/product.php?product_id=3060 Logitech K300 Compact keyboard...

    MechWarrior Online Early Access Program Detailed

    It's interesting in that there almost seems to be a Battletech/Mechwarrior game for those of different tastes being released this year (well, with the exception of the single-player and/or anti-F2P crowds). You've got Mechwarrior Online for the sim/FPS crowds, you have Tactics for the...

    MechWarrior Online Early Access Program Detailed

    Okay, I have to ask this but how and where did you get that was going to be the case here? Everything I've seen about this game, since keeping up with it at the beginning, says it's more going to be like World of Tanks except with mechs and being a player of that game I've yet to see this "pay...

    NVIDIA Unveils GeForce Experience

    You and others would be pretty surprised to hear how most of these "optimizers" work. Come to think of it, outside of some of the bigger "blockbuster" titles most of these work something like this: - Engine programmer asks Compatibility or hardware vendors for list of "hardware identification...

    NVIDIA Unveils GeForce Experience

    +1 for truth on this. The fustrating part about all of this is that, with QA for the most part being outsourced, trying to find ANY external testing company who REALLY knows their stuff regarding gaming and PC hardware compatibility is incredibly difficult. Most will fall into one of two...

    Sony PlayStation 4 Codenamed "Orbis", Runs AMD x86-64 CPU, Southern Islands GPU

    This will be an interesting position for AMD to be in since, if I'm not mistaken, this means that they will have not only the next generation Playstation locked in but the next generation models of both Microsoft and Nintendo's consoles. Looks like NVIDIA is tossing their hat in on the mobile...

    Intel Core i7-3610QM Tested

    Guess I was the only one who was more interested in scores for the NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M than the CPU score. I mean, I like AMD but the entire Intel beating an AMD CPU at this point is like the local school jocks giving a swirlie to one of the nerds; sad it happens but not really a surprise...

    GeForce GT 640M Benchmarked

    I'm curious about this as well since I'm trying to plan my work's laptop/desktop needs for this next generation of GPU's. I'm just hoping that they put these in a refresh for the XPS 15's the 540's in those are just not really cutting the mustard for any decent gaming (bad when your job is...

    AMD Preparing A4-3420 Socket FM1 APU

    Does anyone happen to know how well these APU's work with hi10p .H264 video? I've been looking for a GPU/CPU combo that I can use in a mini-ITX media center I'm hoping to build sometime soon and it looks like the AMD E-350/E-450 is not up to the task so I'm trying to find the best solution for...
