The Book of the Shadows

It sure has been a hot minute since I've updated my progress on anything. So, here goes...

I don't always do product reviews, but when I do... yada, yada, yada. Today I'm reviewing a relatively recent technology purchase - the Viewsonic VSD220.

Now that we've designed a couple cooling options, which is the right one for you?

Yesterday we covered the cost of building a water cooling system that cools all components of a PC, the one referenced being a NAS. Now we'll look at the cost of an oil cooling rig.

Last week I went through some of the basics of what submerged oil cooling is and how it works. Today, I'll go over the costs relative to a somewhat basic open-loop water cooling system.

We're getting your PC all oiled up. So, now that you know a little about what submerged oil cooling is, what do you need to do it? I've got that answer too.

As I mentioned yesterday water cooling was the succession to air cooling. Oil cooling is the next evolution.

As I noted last week, enthusiast activity in the PC community can be quite diverse despite the ability to categorize it fairly simply. Be there's niche, and then there's niche .

Today I want to go into a little more detail about the project I mentioned yesterday, Project "Table Top".

There are two types of personalities to DIY PC builders; the pure gear-head, and the artistic gear-head.

I'm just gonna whine today. I'm gonna whine a bit because something happened and now I'm kinda pissed, and the only thing I can do for the moment is whine. 

So, it’s hard to imagine discussing the future of technology without looking at consumer tech. I can promise you one thing… this post will not be promising much you couldn’t figure out yourself.

I don't usually follow the Apple WWDC. I don't usually follow much about Apple. The last Apple product I actually used was the first generation iMacs (the bubble shaped ones with the bunch of colors) when my elementary school dropped what had to have been a ton of cash on them right after their launch. It's not that I have anything particularly against Apple on the scale of the Apple vs. Microsoft fan wars. But basically it comes down to cost. Entry price for Apple has often been higher than PC, which I think has hurt Apple in that sector in its past. Those on the lower end of the market in terms of price actually make up a large part of the market in terms of numbers. Not having a cheaper alternative from Mac, many went with PC by default. Price vs. quality may narrow or negate some of that margin, but most computer buyers have not traditionally been so sophisticated to care about that. Many of those who are, tend to be sophisticated enough to put together a PC on their ...
