Here’s your chance to act like a Van Wilder
You can play the first Sims 2 expansion pack—The Sims 2 University—any way you like: You can relive your own college experience, or you can create the experience you wish you had.
You can ditch class and lounge around your dorm blowing bubbles out of a bong until you get kicked out of school.

Once again, CH pushes the realism (and geek) envelope for flight sims
It won’t do a thing to soften the “GEEK!” label slapped on hardcore flight-sim junkies, but the Throttle Quadrant will make every stick-jockey’s favorite hobby immensely more pleasurable.
So what if new flight sims are few and far between these days? Every Flight Simulator, LOMAC, and Pacific Fighters pilot will be stoked by the prospect of adding six control axes to his desktop, each of which comes with two detents and 12 buttons (for engine idle and/or brake settings).
The Quadrant integrates smoothly into the typical CH flight-control setup, which consists of the USB Fighterstick, Pro Pedals, and Pro Throttle (which the Quad can either work with or replace).

Looks aren’t everything
The Vento 3600’s lusty red paint and bulging scoops are sexy enough to instill fantasies of taking it home and making mini-ATXs with it.

This lightweight case is heavy on features
The Thermaltake Armor is one of the most modular and customizable enclosures we’ve laid retinas on.

Very un-Raptor like… and that’s a good thing
We all love Western Digital’s 10,000rpm Raptor drive, but its measly 74GB capacity is barely enough for our swap file.

The next best thing to a set of drums
The first drum machine I ever bought, a Yamaha RX-11, set me back a cool $1,500.

Yeah, we’re hardware junkies. And we’re always chasing that next high. But as with any other addiction, the highs are harder and harder to come by.
