My Thoughts on Core i7

Posted 01-05-09 at 01:25 AM by max302 (Tech Yabber)

Everybody knows that we, members of OCN, have a serious problem. Look at it from an average Joe perspective: we spend thousands on high end computers, and at every single occasion we go out and browse Newegg on a quest to find an upgrade for our systems, which according to us are quickly becoming obsolete. We then proceed to sell our memory, processors, graphic cards and all our other barely used gear, things which are sometimes only a couple of weeks old, in order to purchase the latest and greatest....

Once You Go Gigabit, You Never Go Back

I've heard people dissing on new technologies before, so when I heard people *****ing and moaning about the new hotness in cabled networking, gigabit aka Base1000, I wasn't surprised. Like most, at the beginning I thought that having so many bits per second was just useless because my internet connection was capped at only a mere fraction of that anyways. To me, buying a 100$+ router at the time just to get a boxed labeled gaming and some fresh new technology compatible with only one box on my...

Less is the Future of Computing?

Posted 10-05-08 at 05:13 PM by max302 (Tech Yabber)

If you've been following hardware news for the last 2 years, you may have notice some of the many trends that are becoming the new hotness in computing. As always the race for price/performance between Intel and AMD is on, the two giants along with Nvidia are releasing new flagship products, core shrink remixes almost every month. That's nothing new... But other hot topics are also shaking up the hardware world, namely more and more parallelized computing via multi-core CPUs, GP-GPUs and GPU acceleration,...

Rethinking Hard Drives and Storage

Posted 07-21-08 at 12:29 PM by max302 (Tech Yabber)

The hardware industry in itself is constantly changing, but one sector that has particularly evolved over the years is the disk storage sector. Nowadays, everybody from hardcore enthusiasts like we OCN-ers to our formerly computer illiterate grandparents are now juggling around with voluminous files, music, movies, and large collections of high-resolution digital pictures, so the overall demand for bigger, faster drives just keeps growing.

Hitachi, Seagate, Western Digital and all...

Friendly Reminder from A Fellow Modding Nooblet

Posted 07-09-08 at 09:03 PM by max302 (Tech Yabber)

We all know that when painting anything, from metals to sheetrock, one should sand then use a primer to treat the surface prior to painting, as to assure a flake free paint job afterwards.

As hardware nerds, modders, lover's of fine case art, we spend tons on high quality paints (12$ a can for textured duplicolor anyone?), just as expensive clears, wet-dry sandpaper in grits that most hardware store people don't even know exist and even those little 3M scrubby things that double up...
