Internet

Ahhh the internet, potentially one of modern mans greatest creations. Over the years it has brought us images that make us laugh, make us rage, even some that make you throw up a little in your mouth. Brought us the latest news, and the same news again twisted and changed multiple times for the amusement of others, and if the original author saw these changes they would probably want to gouge out their eyes with a spoon. Brought us social networking, a great thing to have if for some god fors

Onion's Computer Building Guide: Processor, RAM and Coolers

Processor   How to choose a Processor?   For choosing a Processor, the main deciding factors will usually be its: CPU rating ( I use http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ ) Number of cores Number of physical CPU's (a single dual core or quad core is still 1 CPU. Most Processors only have 1) Price   The processor you choose will either be an AMD or Intel brand. Which one you should choose? Well in the end it all comes down to your price range of course =P.

Onion's Computer Building Guide: Motherboard and Power Supply

Power supply Unit How to choose your PSU?   When looking for a Power Supply, you have to decide on the wattage and the brand. Why do I say brand? A lot of PSU's do not advertise the true wattage that it puts out and some are very poor quality and have random fluxuating voltages which can fry your motherboard. I suggest these brands of PSU: Corsair, OCZ, Coolmaster, XFX or Antec Earthwatts   Also you should decide on what wattage of a power supply unit you want. The wattage will actually be

Onion's Building a Computer Guide: Cases and Fans

Decided to make a series of guides because I was unbelievably stupid the first time building a computer. Almost fried my motherboard, bought the wrong case, the thing vrummed like a car and in the end I had to get some serious help lol. Heck even the second computer I just recently made had a lot of stupid little mistakes, but not that severe. Feel free to add on to this (anyone can make a suggestion through the guides and I will add to it) ____________________________________________________

f***.   The guy I know at the venue we REALLY like looks like he either quit or got fired. I really hope not, cause he was giving me a good deal on pricing. Really going to suck if he's gone. Especially if the new lady doesn't honor what he told me, INCLUDING THE DATE! Not stress I need right now, and I REALLY don't want to deal with a pissed off fiance. We went last night and picked out the cake she, oops, WE want. Only going to cost us $450...........   More things the lesser sex nee

Making My Own Rig: 3DMark and PCMark Vantage Benchmarks

Now that I finally finished my computer, I think its time I released some benchmarks on how well it performs.   This Vantage Marks are for a CPU and GPU that has not been overclocked. I will plan to clock them in the future.   PCMark 05 Vantage     Pretty much testing all aspects of the computer (from rendering graphics, website surfing, to HDD usage).

Making My Own Rig: The Video Card

Today I unboxed a XFX HD 5770 which I bought at NCIX for a price of $174.99 Canadian     Unboxing it was really nothing special. You get this nice fancy box with a lot of shiny all over it. Inside is your video card, installation guide and crossfire wire + adapters.   Okay so first look at the video card and you can tell one thing.... it is quite solid and not a flimsy piece of junk (like that XFX HD4870). It has one exhaust vent that moves air outside of the case and side

Making my Own Rig: CPU, Motherboard and Fan Layout

Alright so I finally picked up my MOBO and CPU today.   I went with an Athlon II x4 620 for $108.99 and MSI 790X-G45 ATX AM3 Crossfire Motherboard for $89.99. Both are just average mobo + CPU compared to what is out there in todays market, but its good enough for me. When installing the CPU, you have to lift the safety arm, and then just drop the damn thing in. Afterwards close the safety arm and put the stock cooling on (no tube lube needed because the retail stock cooler already has the ther

Making My Own Rig: Stealth Cover for DVD Drive

Alright so Number1Dad told me to try to do a stealth DVD Drive, so I am doing that right now   First thing I did was take the Drive Slot Plate and sand the snap-ons down.     Next thing I did was sand the hell out of the slot plate so it will easily move in and out of the DVD drive slot. Afterwards I used the handyman's secret weapon and some folded paper to fill up the empty volume of the slot. This way the DVD Drive and the plate will actually touch each other.   Also make sur

Making My Own Rig: Power Supply, DVD Drive, Extra Fan and Sector 5 Ram

Okay so I got some more money thanks to Chinese New Years =D.   First thing I bought was Patriot Sector 5 4GB (2 x 2 GB) DDR3-1333 RAM for 119.99. I was considering some value ram for 25 bucks less but I asked around and learned if I wanted some dependable and stable ram that won't die on me, it is worth the $25 bucks more. Another thing I bought was a new PSU. Antect Earthwatts 650 watt PSU was definitely what I need and for 60 bucks it was a bargain for me.   Installing a PSU is easy lik

Review - "Oldboy"

Show East; Egg Films; Tartan | Korean | 122 minutes | Rated R     "Whether it be a grain of sand or a rock, in water, they both sink"   Once in a while, there are film that will redefine cinema. I say that boldly, because I think "Oldboy" is one of them. The minute I finished this film on a streaming site, I had to find out whether it was available in stores here, and luckily, the local comic store had it on the shelf. This is one of those gleaming gems that everyone has to see.   Loo

Making My Own Rig: The Case

Alright so here is the case. It costed me $17 and came with a 480W power supply. First thing I am planning to do is huck the power supply out the window because this shitty 480W PSU actually only puts out 300W. But for $17 I can't complain right?     So the first thing to do is put the fans in. It is important which way you want the fans to be placed. If you don't know what is the intake and outtake sides of the fan, most fans have an arrow on the side indicating the air flow directi

The motherboard though was said to be pretty decent for a low end board (its not ASUS ma
