You could be like most every other “normal” Xbox gamer and laughably “customize” your gaming experience with a few Xbox controllers in different hues. If you’re really crafty you might put some stick-on graphics or paint over the bland plastic. But only true artists/gamers go to the upper tier of creativity like DieselLaceDesigns has. Their (for sale) Xbox 360 9mm Controller features actual 9mm bullet casings (pre-fired of course) as the...
Business juggernaut, Lenovo, has just unveiled some new, insanely tiny form factor PCs for the workplace. The ThinkCentre M92p and M72e are essentially the same size as your typical thin client, but manage to pack in (up to) third-gen Intel Core (Ivy Bridge) processors and can power up to three external monitors without a dedicated GPU. Hard drive options come in both the HDD and SSD variety. Other perks include WiFI, RAID 0/1 support and carry certifications for EPEAT...
We’ve seen quite a few custom PCs here at GS. It’s somewhat of a passion of ours; we love searching the world wide web for the coolest, most “out there” custom rigs. For today at least, the award of “coolest custom rig” goes to PC modder “Asphiax” and his AT-AT Walker mod.

The subsidized $99 Xbox 360 + Kinect we learned of last week is official beginning today. The new page detailing the promotion just went live on Microsoft’s site, and confirms what was posted last week: 2-year subscription to Xbox Live Gold for $14.99/month 4 GB Microsoft Xbox 360 + Kinect for $99 U.S. Only Microsoft re-iterates that the promotion is subject to termination at any point meaning this little stunt could be nothing more than temporary experiment...
Now that Nvidia has stolen some of AMD’s thunder with their newly unveiled, dual-GPU GTX 690, the “red team” has to respond with something. Introducing into the fight, the AMD 7970 “Gigahertz Edition”. Reported by Australian based Atomic MPC as a potential option soon coming to AMD’s top-tier offerings, the GHz 7970 will bump the core clock up from the base 925 MHz up to at least a fat 1.0 GHz. But AMD could take it further. According to...
If the mobile gods had so chosen, the Samsung Nexus S would not have been a “pure” Google phone on in Google’s flagship Nexus line. Instead, the phone you see above, codenamed “Zeus”, was going to take the cake. (Image comes from a slide in the ongoing Oracle vs. Google trial.) The dual-slider featured a slide-out game pad much like the Xperia Play but also a second slider that slid out over top of the game pad. Now we know what...
