Just how old is too old :)

Check slickdeals.net daily and see if the 120 gigs drives suit your pricing, they can be under $50 by now if i had to guess. SSDs go on sale way to often now. Just 2 years back the same SSD would cost 3x. At modern prices? Totally worth it for any system.

OC worth? convince me

Back in the day, I overclocked AMDs and over the course of 1-1.5 years i'd get system instability and failures in Prime. Also the stock 460 Zotac brand, which i still use and came pre overclocked higher than any other reputable brand started showing instability long long time ago. I had to...

Should I replace Antec p180?

The nice thing about the P180 is that it is silent. If you go to another case that cools better, remember that trade off or make sure the new case is just as silent. I went from P180 V2 (which is basically p190 but the color of a p180), to a Lian Li aluminum microatx case. Never looked back. I...

Best Firewall

That surprising. At the very least MS solution isn't annoyingly spammy. Even as tech savy as I am and how I am with keeping my computer clean, I get tired of firewall management.

** UPDATE** Official 2014-15 NFL 'U LOST Bro'-owl Thread** Pats are SB Champs!!

Maybe not amazing as in skill wise but exciting to watch, not praising the skill of the team. I keep up with several teams throughout this season and I don't remember any game that put people through such an emotional roller coaster ( for both sides).

Free Weight Vs. Machines- A Discussion

I had a dislocated shoulder for 2 years, despite working out with a combo of machines and free weights. I decided to buy the Powerblocks 90 lbs dumbbells and have done workouts like the side lateral raises as well as decline chest flies. It took the pain that was in my dislocated shoulder away...

Best way to repair enamel finish on a sink?

All the reviews on it seems to be based on repairing boats but i was considering using it in my bathtub that was damaged due to using too much Comet to clean it (ripped the paint off). Does this thing cure smooth or is it rather rough?

Windows 8.1 OEM for $80 FS + Eligible for Free Windows 10 upgrade. YMMV

Any rumors on whether you can do a clean install on the free upgrade of windows 10 or do you have to waste time installing 8 and then upgrading. I wish they would just let you enter 2 CD keys at a time and call it a day.

My friend bought a PS3 on ebay only to realize that it would not read blue ray discs (movies or games) well. It would intermittently stop reading. This is a common problem if you google it. Since there are two lasers on the PS3, dont confuse it with the DVD laser which does not wear out at all...

Microsoft Ad Campaign

They aren't going to regain any market share from apple with that ad. Its a boring ad. And i have no idea what their point was. Why don't they just hire Paris Hilton walking around with a Lenovo U110 and make a comedy skit out of that.

Like many have said, the power at idle of the 4870 WILL DROP once AMD fixes the drivers to throttle it down during idle. To bad AMD didn't fix this before release as it creates confusion. I hate MIR and i always look at the prices without considering it. I've been tired of MIRs not comming in...

Incoming system build question: 4870 + which brand CPU?

AMD Cpus are way behind and Intel CPUs are ridiculously good overclockers. You can buy a cheap Intel and overclock it slightly and it will still own a AMD. Being a AMD user for a long time, i hate to say it but I cant buy a product that loses out so bad in performance.

I had one and its a POS imo. I doesn't use it anymore, but if you like it then use it so test it out first before buying. Otherwise, you'd only convince yourself that it's good because you've already spent the money on it.
