    The Official PS4 Thread

    I'm talking about features aside - pure computing power. Not features that can be announced and then disappear. That was the gist of the post as the OP was complaining - use-less features he didn't care for. Based on both consoles Dev kits and the fact that Sony's matches their rumored specs...

    The Official PS4 Thread

    Pretend you didn't hear the social media part and you will see the PS4 will be above the Xbox in hardware capabilities; hence the PS4 gives you the best console to play kick ass video games for this gen. Whats disappointing about that? These side gimmicks are Xbox's only way to surpass the PS4...

    Fanless Build

    all very good recommendations. Much of the build was based on Anands review of the FC10 case by Streacom. I'm very amenable to any changes. Will definitely be going with that low profile Samsung memory sticks as opposed to my g.skill and swapping out my motherboard for the recommended...

    I have a HTPC set up in my living room and the wireless keyboard & mouse combo I have is not cutting it in the range department. Many peripherals claim they have the range of 10-15 ft, as does the logitech combo I'm using right now, but unless I am on the perfect surface and battery fully...

    new build for video editing

    I tried putting it in IDE mode, no success, since I can get free downloads of each type of windows, maybe I could install Vista, then update the firmware, then install Windows 7, would that work?

    new build for video editing

    just got back from meeting with my adviser at work, said that the department does have a license for the program, so that isn't an issue. I'm thinking of going with the original recommendation and sticking with the WD drives, and change to the coolermaster chassis and i7 870 considering I have...

    new build for video editing

    just wondering, although I have been partial to intel, my previous build was an AMD so im not totally against it, would it be worth it for a six-core processor from AMD as opposed to the lynnfield?

    new build for video editing

    1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be performing. Most importantly is this rig will be primarily used for video editing. Hoping to be able to process multiple HD video feeds for multi-cam editing. Will need a blu-ray burner. 2. What YOUR budget is...
