Samsung ATIV Book 9 plus thoughts?

Anyone have personal experience with this laptop or suggestions for similar models to consider? Not sure where to look for reliable, unbiased reviews. I've played with it at a local store and was very impressed with the size, weight and "feel" (conveys a great sense of build quality). *...

Demigod (Digital Copy from Impulse) - 50% off!

I have really enjoyed two Stardock/GPG games, Supreme Commander and Demigod, but I'm not going to let my enjoyment of the games (or the good intentions of the developers) stop me from saying that they deserved all the flak they got for publishing a game they hadn't finished coding yet. The...

Cheap NAS options?

I was just about to post my own question on this topic--I'm glad I was patient and tried searching back first! I'm looking to get a home server that I can use to store files on my internal network, but also something I can FTP or access from the internet. A primary (but not only) function...

Quick help please (please!) - installing i7 CPU

This is only the second time I've installed a cpu and the last time it was a conroe. I don't remember the details, I just remember it took a scary amount of pressure to close the load plate but it all worked out. I just put the cpu in now and I'm scared all over again. I'm 100% sure its...

i7 920 D0 - Where to Buy?

Just as an update to the thread, I ordered from Newegg ($280, free shipping, free crappy game). I had heard reports that their California warehouse was sending out D0's. I'm on the east coast and tracking numbre showed that they shipped to me from New Jersey instead. But - SLBEJ! Sounds...

Still possible to get W7 beta?

Thanks Psy! Sorry to ask for all the handholding, I just haven't used torrents much and there was some suggestion above that it might be slightly risky in terms of integrity. I saw that too, it seems to be official re: May 5. I'll probably hold off on migrating completely to the new system...

Can definitely confirm that Microcenter is still offering great sales on the 900 and 1200. Anad if you don't mind paying extra the 1200 has the big advantage not only of more space but of all the cable management options that the 902 has but not the 900. I don't own either, but I spent a good...

I've been looking for awhile to upgrade my case to something larger, cooler, sharper looking and with cable management options. The Antec 1200 sold me on features and feedback but the vanity/aesthetics factor wasn't quite enough for me. For some reason I really love the look of the three...
