Since upgrading this time last year my system has been nothing but a pain in the ass for me. Faulty motherboards, faulty graphics cards and a case which quite simply was awesome on arrival but quickly became an annoyance. So this year all my Christmas overtime is being spent completely and...

So it looks like NZXT have finally heeded the call to sell windowed panels and various other fascias which is great news, they also appear to be fairly cheap in price considering. The only catch for the moment is that it looks US based only for now, with any luck the EU side will pop up prior...

So I just shelled out on one of these beasts and first impressions are that it is superb, it's like having my lovely CRT back. Running in 120Hz with the D-DVI cable and all is glorious. However, I decided to go down the route of purchasing a fairly cheap HDMI cable (v1.4a, at least that what...

Just thought I would give a heads up to people about Aria and their competitions to win either a GTX 580 Twin Frozr II OC or on of three i7 2600K CPUs. The closing time is 5pm today (I assume GMT), users must be registered on their forums. http://forums.aria.co.uk/forumdisplay.php?f=11 Note...

As the topic probably indicates I am in a bit of a predicament. Gaming system is currently without a GPU and I have being tossing ideas back and forward in my head about what card I should get. At first I considered the GTX 560ti, heard great reviews and seen great stats but frequently people...

Okay so the beast is up and running but I have hit a little snag with my plan. I am running 2x EVGA GTX 460 768MB Superclocked cards which vent out the back of the case, the problem I have is that the Sabertooth x58 is very tight when it comes to running things in SLI and as such the top card...

Well I have managed to get my case sorted, the only thing I am waiting on is the memory now so I figured it is best to get the ball rolling and see if I can add to or improve on the existing cooling setup. The fans you can see in the picture are the standard ones, there are also 2 smaller fans...

Okay so the build is almost ready now I just needed to decide on card(s). I have been looking at both the 768MB and the 1024MB Asus 460 DirectCU TOP cards to run in SLI or I have been looking at a single Gigabyte 1280MB 470 Super OC. Card vs card the 470 has better stats but for roughly the...

Finally got round to selling all my car spares to free up room in the garage, managed to make enough for the lovely NZXT Phantom case in white so off I went searching the net for a nice price with decent delivery. Few hours later it was ordered and I was a very happy chap. It turned up last...

Hey, Long time PC builder looking to hit the gaming/enthusiast side of things with any luck. Found this site via the Youtube review videos which are superb I might add. Next step is to figure out whether I should go ahead and grab some new hardware now or wait till Intel starts sharing the...
