Interview with PC Power & Cooling Founder "That sounds reasonable. This is also for example how the single 12V rail got into place. Why exactly is one 12V rail better than separate rails, and why is this not a safety issue for the user? DD: One 12V rail is better because all of the power supply's capacity is available to the system. With a multi-rail 12V design, as much as 30% of the PSU's capacity can be trapped on under-utilized rails. For example, if one 12V rail rated at 18A is for the CPU, and the CPU only draws 8A, the remaining 10A cannot be utilized by other components in the system. That's true.

I stopped at BestBuy today and picked up a copy!! Nope, I didn't pre-order. The single player rocks (so far). Very scary!! When could you REALLY say that about a computer game?! Multi-player, I could only find one server I could get into, and it was choppy as hell but I did kill the person who was running it and then he/she yanked it!!!

This is really old but is still to much fun. Need a windows version, only issue is most windows processes can not be killed. http://www.cs.unm.edu/~dlchao/flake/doom/ "Certain processes are vital to the computer's operation and should not be killed. For example, after I took the screenshot of myself being attacked by csh, csh was shot by friendly fire from behind, possibly by tcsh or xv, and my session was abruptly terminated. "

Hacking Your Xbox 360 Fan "Unable to source a replacement DVD-ROM drive that might run more quietly than the stock product, we settled for replacing the 360's fan with a quieter model—which, as a bonus, glows green. While the DVD-ROM drive will still make our ears ring as we play games that cause it to spin up, toning down the fan noise will help when playing Xbox Live Arcade games or enjoying downloaded or streamed movies or music, which don't trigger the optical drive."

AMD Opteron 170 Review "We thought it would be interesting to find out how the Opteron 170 stacks up, and how far it can be pushed with just air cooling. Why? Because if even half the legends about the 939 Opterons are true, it may just make an excellent upgrade chip, or the basis for a solid new gaming rig."
