    CM Elite 120, or BitFenix Prodigy? 7790

    I have a CM 120 that I use for a living room gaming PC, and I'm currently using a 5870 Eyefinity 6 which is 11" and there's several inches to spare. From what I can tell it can pretty much fit any card that's two slots wide; I have an HIS 7870 Ice-Q that is basically 2.5 slots wide and it won't...

    Intel’s Clover Trail is a bloated nightmare

    Article summary: We don't know anything about Clover Trail but we know it's bad. Ok then.

    Picked up Tropico 4 for $5, didn't even know about the special $5 credit that came along with it.

    Slow carb diet not working

    There's no magic, just a biological state known as ketosis. While eating fewer calories will help to increase the amount of fat burned, if you're low carb enough to be in ketosis a certain amount of fat will be converted into ketones regardless of caloric intake.

    Top Gear USA preview -- Riding with the bulls sneakpeak

    I attended two of the studio filmings last week and despite my initial doubts I was quite impressed, I thought the segments were very well done and the hosts had good chemistry. Rutledge Wood actually came off as the most engaging personality wise, and Ferrara had the wit you'd expect from a...

    Super large TVs vs projectors

    My father has an Epson 8100 and a 120" screen for his home theater setup and it's pretty awesome, it's not like the old projectors where you can see each pixel or the color wheel rainbow. Large TVs just aren't worth the price past 60" IMO, especially with the latest generations of 1080p...

    WRX and Lancer EVO - why are these cars 4 doors?

    Before the rally versions of the Impreza, Subaru used the larger Legacy so they eventually wanted to use a smaller chassis. Mitsubishi also wanted to compete in rallying, and the homologation rules meant that they had to produce a certain number of them to be available to the general public. So...

    Brag if you got into the SC2 beta

    You can drag the replay files to the SC2 desktop icon and it will launch the replay outside of Battlenet. Unfortunately, trying this with replays from Patch 15 or 16 causes it to crash (at least for some people), although earlier replays still work.

    boycott jalopnik

    Jalopnik's content and their annoying Gawker-ish troll posts have really started to suck, and their commentary system has always sucked.

    I'd have to call Lincoln the reinvention of the year

    Lincoln has definitely improved, but their cars are ugly (IMO) and based on FWD platforms (optional AWD is nice, but I'd rather have a RWD platform for a luxury sedan). Kind of like a domestic Acura, which is not really an insult but certainly not a complement considering how boring and...

    Some reasons why you should be a liberal rather than a conservative

    Ah yes, Liberals are so morally superior, which is obviously why the people in red states give a higher percentage of their income to charity than those in blue states. Oh wait, Liberals are morally superior because they are willing to give to the poor from OTHER people's money. I see how that...

    Forza 3 Game Night. Bring it, part deux!

    I'd like to race with you guys sometimes, my gamertag is ZolfTM. Unfortunately it will be hard for me to make it on Wednesdays as I usually get off work at 6 PM PST, but I may be able to go now and then. I'm enjoying multiplayer but it can get annoying getting run off the road by Audis, and it...

    I'd love to see online gaming GET REAL...

    I hear Modern Warfare 3 will have it, after they remove KB/M support from the PC version. ;)
