All of the mini-itx cases on the market support mini-dtx motherboards but there are none available at this time. Plus, the sff gaming market is always waiting on decent motherboards. The only high performance z68 itx motherboard on the market is the zotac one and it has lots of... read more

Gaming Update 9 14 2011

Just a quick update - My copy of Halo Reach just arrived on Monday (bought on the OCN forums from nubz). So that has been added to my list. Only playing solo campaign right now, since I'm still locked out of my Live account and have to unplug the XBox from the network to even be allowed to sign into my profile. *sigh* But I probably would finish the campaign before I decided to try online anyway, and that's even assuming I decided to sign onto Live Gold again (I've been Slver for maybe a year now). So updated list: Civilization 5 (Steam) Mario Kart Wii (Wii)... read more

Cpu First Stop

  • by Tz.

Today, after working through some issues, with one remaining being memory, I am beating the crap out of the CPU.. I WANT to get it to 5Ghz and stable. Currently I am running at 4.7Ghz and topped out at 51c temp (I love my cooling solution) running large FFT in prime 95. I'll run it for 2 hours or so then bump up the multiplier and see how far I can go.. So far so good.. Once I get to where I want.. Then the battle with memory ensues.. I have already pushed the 6870s to maximum safe (1000 / 1200), but there is more work to do there > hopefully by the weekend, I... read more

The only thing that has keep me here in... read more

Gaming Update 9 11 2011

Well, my Xbox Live account was hacked on Friday. My account's e-mail address was changed to some joker on AOL, so I can't get in. Microsoft has locked the account and is investigating, but apparently that can take up to three weeks before I get my account back. So I'm locked out of Bioshock 2 for a while, even single plater (my save games don't show up since I'm not logged in...argh.) So I decided to start playing some Wii games that have been on my shelf for a very, very long time. So my updated list is:Civilization 5 (Steam) Mario Kart Wii (Wii) Super Mario... read more

My Astrological Personality Traits

According to a few astrology websites, I've noticed that a lot of the traits that define me was right on the money. However, these sites are pretty limited in what they want you to know about your star sign. all of their other features require some form of monetary compensation. This is bull. Forget that, if anyone really wants to know more about their connection with the stars, I suggest them go to the library and do the research there. There's so much information that can be accessed about our connection to the cosmos in a few good books there. Now I only wish if I... read more

Game Franchises Burn Out Or Fade Away A Video Game Industry Rant

  • by ggoodd

Well, after reading the news that Commander Shepard of the Normandy will not be returning in (if) there is another Mass Effect fallowing the 3rd installment. is this is a good choice or a bad choice? when is it that those who are incharge of a franchise decide when to "kill" a cast, or let it fade away, or just simply let the series fade into the list of games that will never seem to be continued (Chrono Trigger/cross/radical dreamers) as a series example that a new one would BOOM the industry with nostalgia, where as some games pump out every year, or every second... read more

Where I Was And Where I Am

  • by Tz.

Well, being the new guy I might as well send a little history here.. Started in the land of PCs back in.. Let's just say I was a tech and remember cracking open the first ever, shiny, brand new 386SX processor.. Well wait a sec, I got a brand new, just released Commodore 64 back in 84 if that counts.. Which, I had no choice but to disassemble day one. Yep that went over real well with the parents.. Ok, done there. Anyways, started messing with overclocking when the Athlon debuted back in the early 2K timeframe, since then, it's been a sickness to see how far I can... read more
