    I used to fair fine on Blops 1...
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Sorry guys, I have a question.
    Also looking at the unit’s construction they said that its aluminium chassis is heat resistant
    Why is it important to make the chassis non heat conducting?
    If it's made of aluminium won't it conduct heat?

    Valve's own Piston/Steam Box WILL be Linux

    Seems the plans are for quite the 'home hub' and Valve's own box will be Linux so should bring a huge boost to Linux gaming. Hooray!

    Shame it's not going to be this year.
