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

Build a $2,000 CS5 Desktop
by: 
 8/25/2010 12:51 PM
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

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

Microsoft Windows 7 Test Drive, Part 1
by: 
 12/23/2009 10:55 AM
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

by: 
 9/22/2009 2:01 PM
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
