Threadless $10 T-Shirt Sale!!!

Friday, September 30th, 2005

I love the shirts from Threadless. I just ordered two as a matter of fact last night and now I get a damn email about the $10 sale!!! Damn, what timing.
I could have bought all three that I wanted instead of just two for $30!
Ah well, I’ll stop whining… while you go buy some [...]

More on the NVIDIA GeForce Go 7800 GTX

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Turns out I wasn’t behind the times… the Go 7800 GTX was just launched today. I’ll have to try hard to resist a laptop with this sucker in it. I don’t game much the way it is, which means I’d game very little on a laptop, if at all.
A nice trend I’m noticing in my [...]

GeForce Go 7800 GTX offered in Dell XPS M170 gaming laptop

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

I knew GeForce Go 7800 GTX was coming soon, but I didn’t know I’d run into it today while checking out Dell’s latest offerings.
GeForce Go 7800 GTX is of course NVIDIA’s latest and now the industry’s most powerful laptop graphics solution, at least for gaming. It’s geared towards gamers who want high-end, portable gaming.
With [...]

Dell Expands XPS Line

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

Not sure how recent this is, but I just noticed on Dell’s site that the company decided to expand its XPS line-up.
Instead of just one XPS, gaming desktop, Dell now has three very different offerings: XPS 600, XPS 400, and XPS 200. They go down in size and power. The XPS 600 is the same [...]

Digable Planets back and now on tour!

Saturday, September 24th, 2005

In the early 90s, Digable Planets released some of the freshest hip hop songs ever, including the classic Rebirth of Slick. The funky, jazzy group disbanded in the mid-90s, but now they are apparently back together and working on an album and on a reunion tour! I’m a little behind the times apparently, as Butterfly, [...]

First Look at Dell XPS 600 SLI System at Bit-Tech

Tuesday, September 20th, 2005

Bit-tech.net posted a quick, first look at Dell’s latest and greatest gaming machine — the XPS 600, which is one of the first non-Intel chipset boards to grace a Dell system! At the heart of the XPS 600 is nVIDIA’s nForce4 SLI X16 Intel Edition chipset. The “X16″ refers to the fact that nVIDIA’s updated [...]

SilverStone SST-ST60F 600Watt Modular Power Supply

Tuesday, September 6th, 2005

Looks like SilverStone has finally jumped into the modular power supply battle with a nice entry — the ST60F: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products-60f.htm. The ST60F is looking like a monster: 600W, SLI ready, quad +12V rails, quiet 120mm fan…
I’m glad the connectors on the PSU are flush with the rest of the casing. I don’t like it when [...]

19 inch notebook? Samsung says yes!

Sunday, September 4th, 2005

Apparenty, Samsung will be the first company to unleash a 19-inch notebook (laptop) upon us, and it will be as soon as October. Sounds huge, right? Well, it is a widescreen notebook at least, with a reported 1680 x 1050 resolution. I’m surprised it’s not higher resolution. I would guess it will be a Pentium [...]
