Mini ITX mobo

These guys have some nice ITX cases, but they're pricey (as all ITX stuff is). http://www.logicsupply.com/

here it is boys - PS3

Re: Keyboard-Mouse control for consoles. This won't happen simply because consoles are played from the couch. The only way around this would be to build some sort of Lapboard-type device (important: it must be *cheap*), and pack it in with some hugely popular game, or have it actually ship...

Photoshop System Build

QFT. It doesn't have to be anything massive, but Photoshop definitely does prefer having a second disk.

Will I have any trouble installing this card?

Should be dirt simple. I put a 6800GS into mine last night. The side panel is held on by a latch, not even thumbscrews to mess with. Should just have to pull the card and put in the new one. Edit: I should mention there's likely to be a plastic retaining clip at the back end of the...

How to find printers that can print CD's and DVD's ??

Epson R200 does a nice job, and is cheap. Gobble the ink, though.

Suggest a Soundcard

Yep, because... it looks like your amp doesn't accept digital input.

Anyone at E3??

The OP is talking about controller support, not the game itself. In other words "If Guitar Hero will play on the PS3, how the hell do I plug in my guitar controller?"

Sony shows off the real PS3 controller

What annoys me the most about it is the fact that you're seeing press that says the sony controller is "motion sensitive just like the Nintendo". Gah...six on/off tilt sensors added in at the last minute does not make it equivalent (Not to mention they pulled out the vibration to make it fit)

QFT. Quality card...only reason to pick something else is if you're recording.

Anti-Aliasing on LCD

Nintendo Wii Talk.

It'll be interesting to see what happens around Christmas. Personally, I'm betting that Nintendo cleans up. Sure, it may be nothing more than an overclocked GC with a nifty new control scheme, but it's price point is going to be so far under the other two, that it will sell to all the...
