Agreed. I've lived places where it gets below -40. Anybody in the Canadian plains will know what I'm talking about.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Valves studios closed down in the next few years. They haven't released anything original in years, they just hire on popular developers, let them make their game, and that's it. When Portal 2 came out, I felt pretty certain that Valve wouldn't have a problem...

No, I mean when the waterblock and the backplate connectors all fit within the space of a single expansion slot. I'd like to see an all DisplayPort GPU with a waterblock.

I miss the days when high-end GPUs were single slot.

I bet $500M would be enough to open a manufacturing plant outside of Asia. Maybe somewhere inland where flooding and earthquakes occur less often. I bet it would give Seagate a stranglehold on the market.

If there's anything to look forward to, it's the new southbridge. The plans for my current system involve 2 SSDs in RAID 0 and 4 HDDS in RAID 10, so I've maxed out my onboard SATA3 controller.

Sometimes I wonder why motherboard manufacturers don't just open the ends of all the PCI-E slots. It's not like they're magically gonna use more bandwidth.

One thing I'm wondering about is how some antivirus software will be affected by this. Some of the software I've used and set up for friends and family on their PCs make use of a run-at-boot program to more efficiently clean the system. I hope this isn't going break that. Also other things like...

Is that 2 GPUs or 4?

Asus is getting really stupid with these cooler designs. I could sort-of understand going triple-slot on the enthusiast GPUs, but this is a 6770.

Lamptron?

On the contrary, for ~$230 I've got myself a system that goes toe-to-toe with the $300+ i7 900 series and comes out in pretty good standing. And now their price is only about $180. You say they're not good for gamers, but for gamers who like running other apps in the background for quick...

32Gb = 4GB 32GiB = 31.25GB

As far as I'm concerned, complaining about a power supply that's rated and priced for Silver but peforms almost as good as gold is a little silly. And about Kingwin, I wouldn't buy a Kingwin PSU if it was the last one in the world. Go with trusted brands and you're guaranteed to not get screwed.
