    Who's in their 30's and still likes to play PC games? Which ones do you play?

    57 going on 13 and I dont really have a game type and play a number of different games. Currently looking forward to the release of Star Citizen myself (no troll comments necessary) and I love all form of space sim, but certainly not my only choice. The day I stop gaming is the day I physically...

    Best Graphics Cards for the Money (Archive)

    Here is the deal, the article is supposed to give me some insight on price per pound for the best card but in the first comparison it lists everything BUT prices.

    Dish Hopper 3 Review: The Best Just Keeps Getting Better

    Its to bad the service does not come close to deserving this hardware. I had Dish for 6 years and now I have DirectTV which I have had now for 2 years and the difference is night and day. I will NEVER go back that that crap Dish EVER again!

    I am leaving Toms Hardware, if you ever decide to get out of bed with Microsoft let me know. I love the articles but I refuse to be coerced into believing something that is a total lie because you are afraid to speak the truth!

    I would love to get in the head of any moron that thinks this is even remotely a deal. Fact is I could build 3 computers that would all out perform this overpriced thing! What a joke!

    How To Easily Remove Windows 10 Upgrade Notifications

Wake up editors, you are really showing your ignorance and...

    What is the best "Parents" computer CPU (Cheap web browsing and other things)

    You should look to NewEgg.com, they have some fantastic deals on refurbished systems. There will be those that laugh at this but the fact is they put aftermarket upgrades in these systems, so they are better than factory new and in most cases you still get the same factory warranty. All for the...

    CHKDSK usage with a Intel SSD

    Hate to wake up an old thread but I dont think we have accurate information here. My Windows 7 just ran CHKDSK on my Crucial SSD on its own and it claims to have recovered 2 bad sectors. Checking the event viewer I see that the file system became corrupt and unusable which I assume is what...
