He looks like the guy from an episode of Star Trek Voyager who stole a time ship to get technology and bring it back to his corporation so he could be the industry leader in technical advances...Spooky!

killerclickHow did he know if this guy stole his machine or just bought it from someone? Also why show the pics of the girl? Also, why would a hacker use a Mac? All pretty weak in my opinion. Too bad he was in possession of stolen property. If you buy a stolen car and are caught driving it, you...

Wow...$500 for the 2600k? Wonder what MC will charge

I already purchased the PSU - Corsair 850 HX for $135 after MIR. Other than that, I am waiting...just more curious about crossfire vs sli vs one single big card.

I am now starting to buy my components like the PSU, case etc. I am holding off on the cpu/ram/graphics until February (tax return, bonus etc) and I believe I will be waiting for Sandybridge. I would like to crossfire, so my initial choice was 2x 6870's, but by the time I am ready to buy, the...

I think I will stick with the Haf-x. Thanks!

I am trying to decide which is the better of the two. I like the looks of both but really cannot decide. Does anyone have experience with these two cases? What are your thoughts? Thanks!

Just bought the Corsair HX850 For $140 after rebate on Newegg. It was normally $169 - $20 promotional code - $20 MIR. . I figure I can get the PS, case etc and wait till Jan. for Sandybridge. Question is, will it be much faster than the core i7-950?

I will probably build this sometime in Feb. When I get my tax return. I am hoping the 6970 will be out by then.

Just for a reference, I am coming from a Q6600 with a 4870 and 6gb RAM. The system is about 3 years old and I wanted to upgrade before my parts become too outdated to sell.

The reason behind the i7-950 is that I can get it for $199 @ MC. That is why I would like to build my new rig around it. My biggest issue is the graphics cards. Should I go 6870's in crossfire, 460's in SLI or wait for the 6970?

Hi Guys, I am looking to build the following system and wanted to know your thoughts: CPU: Intel i7-950 Mobo: ASUS Sabertooth X58 LGA 1366 Ram: CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D GPU: 2x XFX...
