    Phanteks Enthoo Evolv

    How is it that you didn't return the case? $140 is a good chunk of money to wind up with a defective item.

    ASUS Announces Adoption of NVIDIA G-SYNC Technology

    HDMI and DisplayPort protocols don't support this. So, how do you expect this to happen given current protocols?

    Battlefield 4 Running DirectX 11.1 Could Give Radeon HD 7000 an Edge

    "We use DX11.1, there are some optimizations in it (constant buffer offsets, dynamic buffers as SRVs) that we got in to the the API that improves CPU performance in our rendering when one runs with DX11.1." How does this have anything to do with GPUs? Did I misread or misinterpret something?

    Corsair Acquires Simple Audio

    This makes sense given the product they showed at CES this year. http://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonevangelho/2013/01/08/ces-2013-corsairs-voyager-air-is-a-home-networking-multitasker/

    Fractal Design Announces Arc Midi R2

    I emailed them to see if they'll sell me just the windowed side panel, which I assume fits the original Midi that I own. A while ago, I asked them to sell me a solid side panel, but they wouldn't. The vented side panel is the only thing I don't like about the original Midi.

    Antec Intros Kühler H2O 920e CPU Cooler

    Yeah, if you need high RPM fans, the GT 2150 gives the best performance per db. The fans they package with these all in one units move a lot of air, but are not easy on the ears at full tilt.

    SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB or Western Digital 750GB WD7502AAEX

    Definitely get the Samsung F3. I have bought 5 of them and love them...fast, quiet, reliable. I also had that Western Digital drive for a short while before I sold it. It vibrated my whole case and desk even though it was mounted with anti-vibration pads.

    ASUS Unveils the U82U AMD-Powered Ultra-Thin Laptop

    Yes, I have the S205. I think what happened is that I didn't know how bad Atom really was, and when the reviews came out for Zacate saying that it was a significant step up from Atom, I didn't have a baseline for comparison. Brazos does quite well given its TDP, but yeah, it's not an APU...

    ASUS Unveils the U82U AMD-Powered Ultra-Thin Laptop

    I have an Ideapad with an E-350, SSD, and 8GB RAM that I use for studying on almost daily basis. The E-350 is annoyingly slow. I thought that replacing the stock 750GB 5400RPM hard drive with a SSD would make things snappy. It did for a few things, but I can definitely tell the E-350 is...

    ZOTAC GeForce GTX 680 Listed for Pre-Order

    The DOJ here is useless? That's ripe. Look at what they were able to pull off on Megaupload, and Megaupload isn't even based in the US like both AMD and Nvidia are. Another example it the DOJ prosecution of non-US based companies in the LCD price fixing suits. The US DOJ has very far...
