It seems that when it comes to completely ludicrous, off the wall, over the top gaming PCs we Brits pretty much have the whole market wrapped up with a single machine – the Scan 3XS Great White gaming rig that admittedly offers some major clout by any standards, but at £11,000 it’s just plain daft and it’s going to take some serious cycling to finish enough paper rounds to afford it any time soon. Bearing in mind how quickly the average PC (we’re not claiming for one second that this is an average PC mind) goes becomes...

We’ve regularly been caught bemoaning the poor range of overly priced Blu Ray players and recorders for some time now. While the situation is still far from being perfect, Blu Ray equipped PCs are more commonplace and represent one of the very few viable alternatives to owning a PS3 or paying out an absolutely fortune for something with fairly limited use. ...
Windows is no stranger to its knockers (how very Freudian) but for those that wait with baited breath for the next version, Microsoft has announced that they will be releasing technical details of the next version, Windows 7, in October. The information will be shared at both the Professional Developers Conference and at the Windows Hardware Engineering Conference. The release date isn’t expected to be until the beginning of 2010 and if you intend to wait for a bug free version, rather than jumping in straight away and being virtually...

We’re really taking to these new fangled computery things in the UK, according to recent research. In fact, the UK market is the fastest growing PC hardware market in the whole of Europe. Gartner, the research company that’s always responsible for publishing these statistics, have noted that sales in the 2nd Quarter of 2008 are more than 25% higher than they were over the same period last year and totalled 2.8 million sales during that period. While it was a combination of both individual and business consumer that contributed...
The CherryPal C100 isn’t just a darn cheap desktop costing just $250 (£125) it’s also being pushed as a cloud desktop computer because rather than having all the necessary software stored on the computer itself, it is stored (in the clouds) an an online server that is automatically accessed whenever the computer turns on. This unique online environment potentially offers a number of excellent benefits, although does require an Internet connection to even use the PC. The cloud computer could offer increased security. There...
It’s a shame, in many respects, to learn that the image is of a CPU cooler because it looks so cool. Terms like liquid metal based cooler do little to make it any less cool either, although it could be some time before it’s actually released. The exact details of the liquid metal are being kept a closely guarded secret but suggestions include the same liquid metal from the Terminator films or mercury. Perhaps liquid metal is more a descriptive term and its actually created using miniature replicators from Stargate SG1. Obviously,...
