On a whim I bought the Powercolor 7850 for $99 after rebate in hot deals and have been tempted by the upgrade bug.
My current aging setup is
Lian Li v351,
Phenom II 905e,
Scythe Ninja Mini, (passive with no attached fan)
Gigabyte GA-MA785GM-US2H,
8gb G. Skill Ram,
Gigabyte 5750 Silent...
For those interested, its open to everyone now. I tried out some King of the Hill. Its no award winner, but I had a reasonable amount of fun. It also ran smoothly on my lower end rig and I believe the requirements are less strict than Tribes Ascend.

I know most of you guys are into performance cars but looks like Lexus is going ahead with its new look across all models. (Sorry the pics are from all over the place). Haven't formed an opinion on it yet, but the ES looks like its almost as big as the GS in the first set of pics.

Im not sure if this is the appropriate forum, (maybe video instead?) but if any of you have an answer or theory I'd like to hear it.
My girlfriend and I have been playing LA Noire for some time at 720p on her non-hdmi Olevia LCD TV. Because it didn't have hdmi I just assumed it couldn't do...
I know this is just a crazy amount of sampling, but is using the backlit pad how most people do it? If it is, that's pretty interesting and not as easy as I thought it it would be.
First video is a "performance", the second video just uses music video clips of the songs used...
Apologies to the forum police, I already have a thread in "Free Stuff" but for those who are interested but don't venture into that forum, 2 out of 3 volumes are available for free.

Taken from Reddit. After watching the video, Im pretty surprised the mother of the boy isn't pressing charges.

simpliztik_ has made a few posts in PC gaming for advice on a new rig. I don't think anyone minds too much that he posted in PC gaming, but having separate threads basically asking the same or related questions does create confusion over which thread to respond to.
Consolidation would make...
It wasn't heavily reviewed and when looking to comparisons to more mainstream processors Im having a hard time figuring where I stand. How much better is it over a Q6600? Worse than E8400? etc...
Currently using a 5750 with my 905e @ stock. Happy with it for the most part, but I did notice some stuttering while playing 1080 mp4 files @ 1600x900. Is this a cpu limitation or gpu?
Consequentially, I noticed that a 5850 was being recommended for an E6600 in this thread, which leads me...
I never actually thought I'd care about how many I had but I just realized I use over half of whats available. Currently using 7/10

Im planning to put a Phenom x4 905e and Silent Cell 5750 into a Lian Li 351. I also have the Scythe Mini Ninja as a passive CPU cooler. Therefore the only fans I would have running are 2 120mm in front and one 80 in the back. I was hoping I could replace all the fans with S-flex fans rated at...
I've read the reviews and comparisons but Im still on the fence about what to do.
Currently I have a x2 5000+ Brisbane 65W with a 4850 in a Lian Li 351. I know my cpu is old but my current setup seems pretty well balanced (unless Im mistaken) and the 5750 would be overkill for it. Still, in...
My friend works in an office 10+ hours a day but isn't allowed to change the office chairs. So can anyone recommend a good back pillow? Would it even make a difference?
I keep reading articles about the increasing cost of goods due to shrinking margins but after a while, I started to wonder if that was a bad thing. Then again, I might be in the minority since depending on the item, I'd rather goto a mom & pop to support a local business than say Walmart for...
I have a messenger bag that uses magnets to stay closed but they're not strong as they used to be. However they're sewn into the flap and the only way to remove them would be to cut them out and destroy my bag. Any suggestions for how I could re-magnetize them through the nylon/leather?
Did they think they'd lose PSP sales?
I don't know of anyone who bought a portable system based on an exclusive game for that system. I think most people buy PSP's, DS's, or GBA's for the convenience of gaming on the go. That being said, if Sony made it possible to play PSP games on the...
Not exactly Hot, but might be of some interest to the Star Wars fans

Assuming that the guy is absolutely sure he never wants kids, and tells the girl up front that kids are not in his "plan", is it wrong to neglect to mention that he has gotten a vasectomy, or is sterile? Is one worse than the other?
EDIT: btw, this is a hypothetical a couple co-workers were...
Its old news, but I did a search and didn't find anything. Not bad looking.

A while back someone here posted about a Japanese restaurant where the chef was trained in Japan. This place was in LA somewhere, and there were a bunch of pics. The only other things I can remember are that it was sort of hidden on the 2nd floor of some building, it was expensive, and one of...
Since Rare, Factor 5, and Silicon Knights left, I haven't been excited for any second party game for the Wii or DS. Is this part of their new marketing plan?
On a side note, it would be nice if Sega became a Second party publisher for Nintendo and They made some great games during the...
Would have posted this in Hot deals, but no one here things Diesel jeans are worth the money anyway so NOT HOT.

I realize maybe no one will reply to this (its somewhat of a Hardware question), as everyone who bought a recent rig pretty much went Core 2, but just wondering for those who are using AMD's "gaming" platform. How is it, would you do it again?
