We’re officially through half of 2008, and it’s also been one week since the new website was launched. Hope you’ve enjoyed your stay so far. You’ve been pretty vocal about the change, with both positive (“more content is awesome!) and critical (“the color scheme burns my corneas!”) feedback. Either way, keep the shout-outs coming – we want to hear more from you. And one place you can definitely do that is in the comments section of each article. In fact, this post is a great place to do it. Every night, we’ll be running a recap of the news from the day and give you a chance to talk back (or is that back talk?) to us and fellow readers in a friendly discussion. Want to play an impromptu game of Team Fortress 2 or talk about a movie you saw recently? This is the place to do it. But first, the news:
Configuring your own Dream Machine? OCZ wants to burn a hole in your pocket with their new “low cost” SSD drives aimed at consumers. They’re still pricey, but you might be able to afford them with money saved on Gainward’s ATI 4870 videocards. The Nvidia add-in board partner is sharing the love with AMD with high performance cards that’ll give you great framerates on high-resolution widescreen monitors – even those with 16:9 dimensions. A killer PC gaming rig is going to get hot, so you’ll want to check out miniature refrigeration tech being developed at Purdue University. Also pretty hot is our new guide to Slipstreaming your Windows XP Vista install, but what’s definitely not is AT&T’s $700 price tag for off-contract iPhones. That kind of pricing is almost criminal.
