So I have never been a fan of laptop gaming. Even as a college student traveling to and from my home it was always so pricey that i could never justify it. But then i saw that the GT 640m is going to be a scaled down version of a GTX 460, and that it can be placed in ultrabooks and still run...

Arctic Monkeys released a new single "R U Mine", what do you guys think of it? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YeKlG1Zsbp8

So apparently not many people know how to build a pc. Which i find odd since it really is not too hard to build a great looking fast pc. Anyways i have been helping some of my dorm-mates build pcs on strict budgets, so i thought i might post some pics of my handiwork to try to get a few...

Disclaimer - This thread is just a story more than anything else, so feel free to skip over it. The following is a lot less glamorous than most of our PCs, but it made a young kid just as happy! My girlfriend's brother in high school had been playing LOL (league of legends, its similar to...

I have been a long time user and fan of AMD products, because while i certainly was not building the fastest PC in the world, i could always run any game maxed on AMD products for significantly cheaper than intel based parts. Bulldozer however has shaken my belief in AMD. Now i know that in...

Just thought I would say hello prior to posting in other sections, look forward to discussing a variety of topics with everyone!
