Wow, you don't mess around when it comes to playing a game! It probably would take me a couple of weeks at least.

In the current economic environment here in the U.S., I think that the optimal prices for computer games are going to substantially lower than they were a couple of years ago. I would imagine that the same is true in other countries as well. One of the first things people cut back on when faced with...

Just purchased Far Cry 2 this past weekend. The graphics in this game are outstanding! In fact, I'm more impressed with the graphics in this game than I am with the graphics in Assassin's Creed! Game runs perfect on my system with all graphic settings on highest at 1920x1200 on my Athlon 64 X2 5200+...

Yep. A copy of Call of Duty World at War came with the 9800 GTX I purchased previously. I loaded it a couple of nights ago and started playing it without adjusting the fan speed. Sure enough, it became unstable and started behaving erratically after running for a while. Then it dawned on me that I f...

So, you purchase from a UK etailer? How does that work? They are still using pounds and your country is on the euro, correct? I noticed that they rated the airflow in cubic feet per minute. I know that the foot is an English measurement, but I thought they switched to the metric system. Are PC cooli...

I noticed that one of these fans moves 110 cfm at only 700 rpm! So, there is definitely a benefit to going larger on the fans.

I think the thing it avoid too much of a pressure gradient between the inside on the case and the surround atmosphere in either direction. I don't think you would necessarily want too strong of positive pressure, as that might lead to a lot of air flow through the optical drives from inside the case...
