    Yet Another Rant About Video Card Prices

    It is true that some people have more money than sense. You'd be amazed what people will pay for something just because they have the money. A good comparison would be paying more for a brand name item over one that is virtually identical because of the name attached. Calling out everyone...

    SLI = why?

    I could be wrong but don't you have to use two identical cards for SLI? If that's the case, then the "buy one now buy one later" approach doesn't make much sense. Depending on when "later" is, when you buy the second card there may be a single next generation card that performs better the two...

    Do Lian-Li's stealth drive bay covers fit the Kingwin 424?

    The Kingwin's drive bays are held on with thumbscrews under the front panel. But the stealth mod would only cover the very front of the bay so it should work. Edit: I should add that you could DIY using the provided bay covers with the Kingwin for a perfect match. Just cut off the sides...

    What will next generation displays be like?

    Well if you look at the history of screen sizes we started with a circle then a square then a wider movie screen (rectangular). TVs got as wide as movie screens (the rectanglular shape) then movie screens got even wider to compete (what we call widescreen now). That's just simplifying it, we...

    I've been extremely bored

    Looks good. Did you have any luck getting the sleeves to fit over the modular PSU connector or did you have to remove all the molex connectors? I was wanting to do the same thing to my Neopower. I used electrical tape for my last PSU. Any other tips you'd like to share would be helpful. Thanks.

    NeoPower Warranty

    I was thinking of using this... Chrome Expandable Sleeving The modular PSU connectors are about 0.6"x0.5" compared to the molex connector's 1" width. Surely the 1/4" sleeves would expand to 1/2". Dunno about the heatshrink. I can't find any specifications stating how wide this stuff...

    NeoPower Warranty

    Thinking of doing the same thing to mine. I don't think it would affect the warranty. I was wondering if you could slide the sleeving over the psu connector end instead of having to remove all the molex connectors?

    BEST GAMING MOTHERBOARD (please advise)

    The Fatality is a nice board, I'm getting one myself. But honestly it depends on your budget. The price of a Fatality board isn't really justified right now, still waiting for the price drop. It won't outperform any of the other boards by a significant margin. Personally I just like the way...

    Black Aluminum Case

    I just bought a KT-424. For the price you really can't beat it. The 80mm fans won't be any louder than your other system fans. It does have a control knob underneath the front panel if you want to turn them down. Kinda wish the knob was on the outside but it could be with a simple...
