    H50/Asetech

    Terrorists play Deus Ex?

    My friend recently started to re-play Deus Ex due to procrastination (exams are around the corner) So he tells me, in Deus Ex, the twin towers are missing and were supposedly destroyed by terrorists. Now we all know what happened in '01 and I mean no harm. This game was released on 2000, the...

    GT 220 and GT 210: Too little too late?

    reviewed: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gt-220,2445.html Looks impressive for power consumption but from looking at the market, there is far too much competition for the GT 220/210 to get a decent foothold. I spose the ol' HTPC could have gains from the very low power consump.

    HX 520 - is it enough?

    Hi, do you think an i5, 5870 and a 9800gt (physX) can be power'd by a hx520? or a 9800gt green edition from xfx This is a build in the planning stages, I know that a 5870 will be fine, but can the hx520 support a 9800gt as well? I'm thinking of getting a 9800gt first (or green edition) then...

    Galaxy - SingleSlot GTX260

    From: http://overclock3d.net/news.php?/gpu_displays/galaxy_produce_single_slot_gtx_260/1 Looks like a great slim-profile modification of the GTX 260's, Looks like the heat will be pushed back into the case though. Good intentions, though I think there's a possibility of airflow issues...

    ATi's 5870 in a SG03

    Hello SFF [H]! I've seen a bird fly, I've seen a pig fly (see District 9) but I haven't seen anybody with a 5870 in a SG03 I've heard tales of people's SG03 containing a 4870x2. By the sounds of it, the 5870 is around the same size (but I don't know if its bigger or smaller!) Anybody care...

    Sooth the itch or hold out for USB 3.0

    I'm planning on getting a new computer over new years and I've been staring intently at this board: DFI Lanparty-JR 790GX mATX mATX because I've fallen in love with SG03 and I think its pretty good because there are 2 PCI slots so there's a sort-of future-proofing capability (like whack on a...
