That's the same thing I wish. Since I saw Valve in the list of partner/supporters, I started thinking they might push it HARD to try to make steamOS work, helping people wanting to game in Linux without emulators as a side effect. The problem is not if it works better or worse, windows 10 is...

VR Farmville hype!

The VR Farmville hype is real! The Oculus will ship with an optional hoe/shovel controller.

As a Star Wars game, it's absolutely amazing, the graphics and sound are incredible... on the other hand, as an FPS or even a Battlefront game, it sucks. I expected much more than this from DICE, and I don't even care about the "milk the cash cow" DLC approach, they can do that and I won't give...

For the full experience, try a south american server.

Well, more variety can't hurt, right? Some healthy competition and the fear of losing market share can do wonders for innovation.

Thanks, having both of them die in the exact same way was making me a bit nervous about buying yet another one. I'll do that. I experimented a bit more today, as it was colder, and it seems like it was just a heat problem.

I was already thinking about buying something in the 550-650w 80+ gold or up from a decent brand for my next rig first and use it on this one until I can hunt down all the other parts, but as long as I don't know if the faulty PSUs are the problem or the symptom, I'm a bit hesitant to spend on...

Now I know... at the time it was a mix of lack of knowledge, not having much better options with the money I had and desperation after a heatwave fried the first one I had bought.

CPU: Athlon 64 x2 5600+ (Windsor, 90nm) MOBO: Asus M2N-VM DVI Current PSU: Codegen 300x 500w Other components: Memory: 2GB DDR2 Kingston, unknown model. GPU: GeForce 8400GS Rev.2 Hard Drive: Samsung SpinPoint T Series HD501LJ 500GB Currently looking for the first failed PSU for the model, I...

A while ago I started having some severe problems with my pc, which after some research and tinkering I traced back to a severely undervolted 3.3V rail (slightly over 10% lower, with the other rails also starting to undervolt a bit) according to the BIOS. I switched PSUs for a spare I had lying...

The last thing I had heard is that they said it would be more expensive than the Rift... We'll see, but if they place it at a lower price, I don't expect it to be much lower.

Well, luckily now it's just that, preference. A tiny bit more performance, reduced TDP and a funny shape for a top-end card for a bit more money makes them really good direct competitors. Pure green vs red, with no one getting the clear short end of the stick. The Nano might hurt a bit in the...

Your comment reminded me of the article about the new Radeon that was shown. Really early model, with not even every feature enabled, playing a game at 1080@60hz while pulling an estimated 35-45W from the wall. I don't know if your comment about HBM was about the raw power you could pack in...

Call me boring, but I love the looks of the Carbide. If the prices drop a bit by the time I make a decision, it might be my next case.
