    Has anyone watched this guy before?

    I watched this guy yesterday at work and I did it again today. I don't know why I feel so compelled to keep watching. I'm not sure what to make of him. I don't know if he's trying to be funny or if he's serious. Who is he? Here are a couple of videos that made me laugh...

    Thoughts on this gaming build.

    I posted some time ago that I was considering a gaming build but I decided to wait and I've pretty much changed everything. Most intense thing being done on this PC is gaming. I don't have an exact budget but I'd like to keep it reasonable and make it money well spent. Basically best value...

    Asus Xonar D2X vs Auzentech X-Fi Forte

    I'm considering putting one of these cards in my system. Primary purpose is for gaming. I use Vista 64 and will upgrade to Windows 7 (64 bit), so I know EAX is of little importance to gaming audio nowadays. OpenAL on the other hand, I'm not sure. It doesn't seem to be catching on. My...

    Using patch cables from router to rooms....

    I'm considering running some ethernet cables from my router to the other various rooms of my house but without creating the typical ethernet jacks on the other end. In other words, the idea is to simply run a patch cable from the router to another room and connect to a PC or a switch. The...

    Giving thought to a PC upgrade for gaming. *UPDATED WITH DECISIONS*

    Hello all, I've been considering upgrading my PC. It's been over a couple of years since the last time I've done a significant upgrade, so I'm not up to date on what to look at. I've done some reading and concluded the following. 1) Intel is ahead of AMD. The Intel CPUs I'm considering...

    PCI vs PCI-Express Wireless-N Networking Desktop Card

    I know Express is faster, but when it comes to a wireless networking card, is there really a big difference between PCI or PCI-Express? The reason I ask is because there is pretty good sale on a wireless-n PCI card, but there is an Express version of the card too (although a bit more...
