Today, we pit arguably the two most popular motherboard vendors at a price point that will see a significant number of sales from consumers and enthusiasts alike – the ASUS P8P67 Pro and the Gigabyte P67A-UD4, which were both released during the Sandy Bridge week for $190. Forget all the marketing fluff; this is a showdown! ( Read More)

Hey, not only did I order and receive a great deal on the Pioneer BDR-206 12x Blu-ray writer from you, but I also found all the great articles and the forum that you have set up. I especially found the article on building a nice machine with the I-7 8 core processor a great source of information. I was impressed with your knowledge and dedication to doing it the right way. Very informative and helped me to order my new computer today. ( Read More)

I just wanted to let everyone know that I've just updated our NLE systems (for Windows) recommendations page. If the time has come to upgrade your old or get a new NLE workstation, this article is a great place to start.
If you are upgrading to Adobe CS5, Avid MC5, Sony Vegas 10 or Grass Valley Edius 6 this is definitely a worthwhile read. (Read More)

When you think of Adobe's Creative Suite software, "inexpensive" is not the first word that comes to mind. Its flagship (and most famous) app, Photoshop, can cost from $699 to $999 to buy new—and that's just by itself. The collections of various apps (also bought new) run from $1,299 for the relatively modest Design Standard to $2,599 for the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink Master Collection. True, you can save hundreds of dollars if you're upgrading from previous versions. ( Read More)

We knew this day would come. We’ve been waiting for more then two years to break free from our 32-bit shackles and finally embrace the 64-bit future. We have seen the future, and we have built a machine to take full advantage of it. Videoguys DIY7 is simply the most cost effective platform for video editing we’ve ever put together. For under $2,000 this machine blows the doors off any DIY build article we’ve ever done. The jump in performance and power from DIY6 to DIY7 is nothing short of amazi ( Read More)

It's time to look at Microsoft Windows 7, which I'm doing in two phases. First, I'll upgrade an existing Windows XP installation and detail the experience and my first impression of Windows 7. Then, using a multiboot computer, I'll test the performance of Windows Vista against Windows 7, and if the stars align, perhaps even Windows XP. ( Read More)

Back in the summer we started talking about Windows7 and how we couldn't wait for it to be officially released. We told you that we would be updated our DIY7 build and posting a new article once we had the chance to test it.
We built it, we tested it, we love it! JACKPOT!! We dare you to build a better, faster, more stable system for video editing for under $2,000
We've run Avid, AdobeCS4 and Vegas Pro 9 on it so far. We'll be testing the Matrox MXO2 Mini next (Read More)

We have been getting a ton of emails and phone calls asking us about Windows 7 and compatibility with our latest DIY7 build and all our products. We are going to wait until after Windows 7 ships on October 22nd to officially recommend it, but we are very excited about it. For now, our advice is simple, have your cake and eat it too. If you are thinking about getting a new computer, take advantage of Microsoft's current offer to purchase Windows Vista 64 today with a free upgrade to Windows 7. ( Read More)
