PC enthusiasts who decline the efficiency of water cooling know that some serious case fans will be needed. Melting silicon and various metals are never a fun sight or smell. Taking a quick stroll through a site such as Newegg will highlight just how many options there are for PC fans in general. There’s literally hundreds upon hundreds. But a rather striking newcomer manufactured by Sharknoon has a rather weird choice in design — a golf ball. The Silent...
As we sit here watching traditional HDD’s climb to 3TB and beyond, the homefront for SSD’s is a bit more…homely. While a few manufacturers have outed some pretty massive (by SSD standards) 512GB drives, they’re not exactly lightening quick nor cheap. But the technology is improving with each passing day and dropping in price. PNY is looking to add some more fuel to the fire with some new offerings in their Optima SSD line. The new drives feature...
It looks like HP is already planning great things for their recently acquired IP, Palm. At first, HP’s announcement that Windows 7 and Android tablets weren’t going to be as important as once projected was a little disheartening — that is, until HP announced some pretty lofty goals for webOS.

How much RAM does your work project need? How about 32GB of RAM…on a laptop! Yeah, even though 32GB of RAM all things considered, is a lot, it somehow doesn’t have the same luster it might have a year or two ago. Though in retro fashion, all of that new fangled geekery will cost you dearly at check-out time. Equipping a Dell M6500 workstation laptop with 32GB of RAM will cost your company a cool $9,300 when all is said and done. Given that a good chunk of...
Cheaper prices for an Intel hex-core processor you say? Yes! Well — a little bit cheaper. It’s nothing to write home about at $899. (The 980x retails at $999, though market forces have pushed that up to between $1049-1199.) Still, saving a Benjamin or two on one of the speediest platforms money can buy is something to smile about. Not to mention, a little overclocking will make this beaut just as fast as the more expensive 980x on the cheap....
What comes to mind when you think of “computer of the future”? Is it some tiny super computer strapped around your arm? What about a super computer implanted in your brain? Or perhaps, the computer of the future is a bit more “normal” looking, as is the case with the Nalu 3D computer. With a curved OLED display, the futuristic look is certainly there. Now if only this prototype computer can progress further, eventually coming to market,...
