I actually was speaking to an OEM buddy of mine yesterday about these. This particular OEM had spec’d in the WD Green Drives for some of their systems, and had also noticed a failure rate rather unusual. They confirmed with WD that the Green drives are NOT good with RAID due to the amount of vibrations that are caused by […]
Read moreSame deal as last week, I’m only now getting to start to listen to any of these due to that little thing called the World Cup going on during my day, but if you hate soccer or have more free time than I do, these are for YOU! Enjoy! No more satellite HD fees! Video games in 3D! What’s the […]
Read moreApparently ASRock didn’t sell too many of their original boxes, but that isn’t stopping them from releasing a new version. We reviewed the original box a bit ago, and it’s a solid system with the exception of its rather bland design. Unfortunately it looks like that isn’t changing. ASRock’ new HTPCs measure 195 (W) x 70 (H) x 186 (L) […]
Read moreThis video has been going around since yesterday and creating quite a buzz. Would love to get everyone’s thoughts on this.
Read moreThis is just cool. Ridiculously expensive, but still super cool. Now HERE’S a 3D set I might not mind watching. Then again, not sure I even have a wall big enough for this 😛 You also saw our first-glimpse of it at CES 2010 … but it’s worth another look. InfoComm 2010 attendees – even tall ones – had […]
Read moreI’ve not heard of Argosvy, and considering this box doesn’t support HD….well, it’s just odd. But anyhow, a review for your reading pleasure. A small plastic scratch tape goes across the front and around the sides of the unit, as well as a large one across the top that is almost missable. The back is uncovered, and looking at […]
Read moreThis thing really does look like something out of Star Trek. Not sure I’d want to use one. The Cyclops universal remote would fit in so well in someone’s Star Fleet quarters, I’m surprised it doesn’t have a replicator button on it. Fortunately, you won’t have to wait for the far-flung future to own one. [Gizmodo]
Read moreWith the pre-release of the iPhone today Apple managed to quietly update the Mac mini with a new slick small form factor (SFF) design along with a much needed hardware upgrade. Most notable is the inclusion of a HDMI port, reduced power consumption to less than 10W at idle, and an improved video card to the NVIDIA GeForce 320M Graphics […]
Read moreAfter a skimpy week of releases last week, there are a fair number of good selections this week. Mary & Max received a lot of positive reviews, but I was rather bored throughout it. The Stepfather was a dreadfully unoriginal thriller, predictable from start to finish. Luckily there are some gems here–who can forget the CLASSIC FLASH GORDON!?!??! Seeing fat […]
Read moreThis is meh for me, I use ESPN3.com from my HTPC as it is today, but at no extra cost besides a XBox Live membership, it’s probably worth checking out. Would love to see a native MCE plugin for ESPN3 though…. No, this live sporting access won’t be entirely free, but it’s one hell of a deal. You simply […]
