I Was Scammed! Back in September, I detailed the new PC Cooler RGB fans I’d fitted to my system in How Many Fans Do You Need In Your PC?, but on closer inspection, I discovered that they were used. This was easy to spot
I’ve been networking since the Windows 98 days. At first, it was just a direct cable connection from a computer-to-computer using a crossover cable. Then I bought a hub, or so I thought. One day, I took a closer look at the name and the

Let me take a wild guess at something. Everyone who is reading this now hates going to the airport. No, I don’t mean you hate flying or traveling. I mean you hate going to the airport. The long lines, the constantly changing rules about baggage
PC enthusiasts will argue about this question until the cows come home. Or similarly, if you put six doctors in a room and ask for a diagnosis, you may get six different opinions which, by the way, is pretty much the best way to start
When thinking of an article to write for the week I go through a brainstorming process that resembles a category 5 hurricane. It’s a whirlwind of ideas smashing against one another, a rapid stream of thought going 180 miles an hour and in the end,
