Eurocom specializes in high performance (and hideous) desktop replacement laptops. The D900F Panther is an absolute titan, boasting a desktop Intel i7-980x (3.33GHz) 6-core CPU, 1GB GDDR3 GTX 280M gaming card, 12 gigs of RAM, and dual 512Gb Sold-State hard drives. My configuration is one of the most expensive that Eurocom sells. More »

OK, these are more like “pretty good,” not wicked, mods, but they are easy to install and take virtually minutes to assemble. I have never been in favor of chrome for anything, but somehow, these replacement cases for the Xbox 360 and the Playstation 3/PS3 Slim are tasteful. More »

From Wirebot:

By now we’ve all heard what the analysts and game developers think about the iPad, but what about the gamers? How do are we feel about the new tablet? We are thrilled, or at least should be. Since forever clever gamers have been taking apart their coveted consoles and resembling them into more compact shells so they can take their gaming on the road without suffering the drawbacks and limitations that come along with a portable gaming system. Most of the time these contraptions become pieces of fanboy high art, being much too bulky for logical usage. With the iPad, Apple has simplified our vision and gathered support from many developers.

Now I know this is going to come off a little braggy, but that’s not my intention whatsoever. The idea is to get angry at the television manufactures, not me. So, here it goes. 2 years ago I got a 46” Samsung LCD for Christmas. Great, right? Well yeah, it was up until this year. This year I’ve ran into a little problem called, your-giant-TV-sucks-now. Sucks may be a bit of an exaggeration, but roll with. My setup consists of a cable box, PS3, Xbox 360, and a WD TV. Can you see my problem yet? Well if you can’t, it’s that I need 4 HDMI inputs and only have 2. Continue after the jump to here me complain some more. More »

Originally scheduled for a November 2009 launch, nVidia has pushed back the release of its “Fermi” Graphics Processing Unit until March. Hard at work, the company has supposedly been ironing out kinks before it is ready to unleash Fermi. Already trailing ATi in the ultra high performance sector, nVidia desperately needs this GPU to be everything that it is promising. With already stiff competition in the integrated graphics department from Intel (whose 4500M dominates all Intel based budget and consumer laptops and some desktops) and AMD’s Fushion (ATi), nVidia must strike back against arch rival ATi in the mid to upper tier markets.
