I’d like to take this opportunity to wish all of our readers/viewers happy holidays and hope you have a safe and joyous New Years Celebration soon after. As the Editor in Chief, it has been my pleasure bringing you the stuff for people who like computers this year. 2011 has been such a crazy year with big changes and more …
People often don’t realize that a PCs are built for a certain purpose. When it comes to the focus of a PC build, the items you tweak are always the graphics, CPU, storage, and memory. For example, a person who needs a PC for audio/video editing will need much more RAM than someone who is building gaming system. If you …
Today we’ve got an unboxing of the highly anticipated follow up to one of last year’s hottest gaming products. It’s called the G1.Killer Assassin 2 from GIGABYTE’s highly decorated G1.Killer series. The G1.Killer Assassin 2 features INTEL’s brand new X79 chipset with an LGA2011 socket change. One major benefit is the switch back to the standard ATX form factor from the …
A short while ago, we had the Dell Inspiron 14z laptop in the Futurelooks labs. We gave you an unboxing video and then followed it up with a full review. What if you want something beefier, shinier, and more powerful? That’s where the XPS from Dell comes into play. Even the box is nicer!

This happens all too often to a large majority of players, but there are a few variables that give your …
For those that don’t know, SSD caching (Intel Smart Response) is a feature built in to Intel Z68 Sandy Bridge motherboards where you can add a smaller volume SSD to your existing platter based hard drive to increase overall system performance. Users often experience a quicker more responsive system after doing this. That’s great if you have a Z68 system …
