Hello internet and welcome to your daily dose of revolution. Here is a picture of Lenin for your contemplation whilst you read this most important of articles.



Why, you ask, WHY, have these bloggers who have slept dormant these past few months returned with such radical notions of revolution. The reason my fellow comrades is that our way of life as PC gamer's is being threatened. But before you grab your rifle and hunt down the evil capitalists responsible for this escapade, listen closely. The internet has been buzzing over an issue recently that is dear to every gamer who has ever joined a server on their PC (or Mac for that matter): Dedicated servers.

Good evening, internet. I'm here to talk about exciting things. Strap yourself in. Are you sitting comfortably? Then let's begin.

Sound Cards, Monitors, and Peripherals! (Oh my?)

Monitors. Don't even say the letters C R or T. Cathode Ray Tubes are a thing of the past. If you have one, save up and get a LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). Please. There are several cheap options out there:

LOOK!

Hey guys, just a quick announcement today, we've been busy sort of duplicating the blog. You can now read us on the hive or at:

We're not moving or anything we're just setting up the blog on another site as well, this'll give us the ability to copy and paste some stuff that will save us some time and let us create some more interesting posts!

Hello everyone. This is the fourth installment of our "How to Build a Computer" Series. Today we're going to cover one of the fun aspects of building a computer--the case. Oh, and CD/DVD players but we won't talk too much about those, because there's not too much to say.

(An example of a flamboyant "Look I spent lots of money on my case" case, though it is very nice)

Alright here we go with the third installment of this guide of sorts to build your own computer. The parts covered today are: the ram and the power supply.

First off lets talk about the power supply. If the motherboard is the mother the power supply (PSU) is the father. The PSU performs a vital role, so again this is not an optional part. What it does is give power to the computer. Nothing is going to happen unless no power is being supplied. On any computer the power chord is plugged into the power supply. Then the power supply diverts out and gives power to most of the major parts.

First off I'd like to say that everything I have learned is directly related to how long I spent trying to get the computer I'm typing this on running! It took me a solid 2 months of trial and error to get it going and now it's running like a dream. During that time I got to understanding each specific part very well; I know their purposes, their placements, their functions, their weaknesses, their strengths, and their importance in the overall build. I can also advise you as to their chances of being faulty, who you should probably buy from, and who has the best tech support in case of serious problems.
