    Asus Intros Windows 8 All-in-One with 21.5'' Touch Display

    Would be interesting to see the price point on this all-in-one... I'm willing to say that for around $500 this thing would be plausible for those looking for a device used primarily for media intentions. Above that point when you get into 700+ dollars you might as well build your own computer...

    Good Mobo for this system?

    The only thing that is sort of bogging you down right now as far as upgrading your system and keeping it a viable option for upcoming products is the processor. This is simply because the socket is "sort of" outdated. There are still motherboards you can find for sub 100 dollars that have the...

    What is a good quality cheap quad core AMD CPU?

    If you're looking for a quality CPU, you're going to be competing against at least First or Second gen Intel processors which still run around $200 and most likely a little over. Of course you are considering clock speeds of about 3.0 GHz running 4 cores (generally). For under a $100, there are...

    Whats the word on the dell xps 8500

    Alright, this is an interesting one. For starters, I have to say that I am impressed with the quality of this computer for the price Dell is offering; starting at $750. If you're looking for a prebuilt, this is probably a good one to go with. For starters, it comes with the i5-3450@3.1 GHz, but...

    HAF 912 fans

    I'm not a professional on the inner workings of the internal components, such as the CPU, GPU, etc., and how they proportionally correspond to temperature, rate of temp. increase, etc.,. I think it would honestly depend on your internal parts. Since the front fan holes can support up to 2 x...

    Microsoft Rumored to Change Windows Logo in Windows 8

    Prefer the Windows 7 logo because it adds a little flair to the normally dull shaping of the Windows 8 shape. They better not change anything.

    Help picking mobo so i can finalize build

    If you honestly want a motherboard that's going to run more than 1 PCI Express 2.0x16 slot, I would take a look at this one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157269 It's an ASRock Z68 motherboard with 5 PCIE 2.0x16. Since you'll probably use the 1st and 3rd because of...

    Sandy Bridge: E mother board

    I honestly think that the Z68 platform would work well. Since you aren't (I think) going to be gaming, the i7 would probably be the CPU of choice. Might want to look at Gigabyte or AsRock Professional series motherboards for the Z68 motherboard. If you build the computer that you are, I 'm...

    Deals for Feb 7: Dell XPS 15 Core i7 + Blu-ray Laptop $899

    For that low of a price, you can't really complain with the quality. Looks fine for on the run gaming at someone's house and just generally out of the comfort of your home. If you don't have a desktop, you could hook this up to a TV or other external display as well. Interesting to see how the...

    Ultrabook Prices Dropping Before 2nd-Gen Ivy Bridge Launch

    Don't really see the practical point of "ultrathin" laptops. First of, the cooling suffers compared to other thicker laptops. Second, in correlation to the cooling, you have a higher chance of bottlenecking, performance drops, etc. Oh and the health experts say that hot laptops are bad for your...

    Alienware May Wait on Producing Gaming Tablets

    Well let's just say that I am quite happy they are waiting to introduce a gaming marketed tablet. First of all, it's probably going to be overpriced anyways, and I don't see the point of a "gaming" tablet. Might as well buy a laptop. If they make it gaming you might as well add USB ports, or a...

    ARM Doesn't See Intel as a Competitive Threat

    Intel will probably have a more successful experience in the mobile mobile market than ARM will in the computer world. ARM simply cant take on the two different styles of AMD and Intel at the same time. Intel, on the other hand, will be able to create powerful and efficient (somehow) processors...

    Kingston Makes Red HyperX Memory for Fashionable Mobos

    Hmm... new colors make people happy. Simple enough. Marketing ploy.
