  • Return to Castle Wolfenstein Tin Box

    Published: Tuesday, November 20, 2001 | By: Dennis

    Well I got my collector edition Return to Castle Wolfenstein Tin Box this evening and started playing when I got home. Except for the occasional BSOD the game is loads of fun to play.

    So what is so special about the tin box? Not much really, in the box you get the game, manual, a Wolfenstein iron on patch and poster. Plus if you where able to get the Quake3 tin you will have a matching set.

    Seriously speaking this stresses the importance on Internet security not only for the online consumer but also to the company providing the service. Keep in mind that nothing is secure on the web, and if you choose to conduct your business on the web you run the risk of this happening to you.

  • Try 2 Hack

    Here is something fun, a site that gives you a chance at hacking without getting in trouble. The challenge isn't really that difficult, I made it to the 5th level in about 30min.

  • Comdex Motherboards @ Anandtech

    Published: Monday, November 19, 2001 | By: Dennis

    Anandtech rounds up all of the motherboards that they saw at Comdex and gives us a peek into what we can expect to see this next year, very interesting to say the least.

  • Shuttle AV45GTR Review @ Tbreak

    Published: Monday, November 19, 2001 | By: Dennis

    T-Break gets to have all the fun this time they review a new P4 motherboard from shuttle, and this one is even based on the VIA P4X266A chipset. I think the Shuttle name rings a bell in all of us, not because of its flashy colors or strange name, "Spacewalker", but rather because just about everyone has owned a Shuttle motherboard at least once in their lifetime.

  • pcMods Comdex Cases

    Cool Case Alert! cool case alert and LanParty has the photos. I don't have a time line but I would expect to see these at pcMods pretty soon.

    The only crappy part is that you will need IE to view the photos.

    Not much has been reported on this but Wired claims that 130 people or about 25% of the workforce at TechTV will need to be let go due to "current market conditions"

    We can only hope that Leo Laporte is one of them, when he is on vacation or traveling about The ScreenSavers is a much better show.

  • MSI DDR333 Motherboard MS-6547

    Published: Thursday, November 15, 2001 | By: Dennis

    A few days ago MSI released their motherboard based on the SiS645 chipset. I'm kind of liking the layout of this board the modem riser is located at the bottom of the motherboard, and there is an entire PCI slot missing adjacent to the AGP. Quite uncommon to see this but I believe it will start becoming a mainstream feature.
