As a PC DIY enthusiast, you likely enjoy tinkering with your computer.

When you plop yourself down in the living room for some Game of Thrones or Big Bang Theory, however, you just want it to work. And it doesn’t get much smarter or much easier than the newest generation of LG Smart TVs.

The Fractal Design Define R5 – The Fifth Generation of Refinement

Define R5 black 15 1 500x333 The Fractal Design Define R5   The Fifth Generation of Refinement
Fractal Design’s Define series of cases always seem to look the same, whether there is an R2, R3, or R4 (or XL) on the end.

And that’s why the company returns to the series again, with the newly released, Fractal Design Define R5.
The Fractal Design Define R5 builds upon the great cosmetics and silence of the original Define series with …

201411 34 inch uwQHD landscape front 500x310 The AOC 34 Inch UltraWideQuad HD (U3477PQU) Monitor Goes Really Wide
In the office, I have two 24 inch DELLs attached to my video editing rig. But I would give anything to have one single display without that awful bezel in the middle. Well, it looks like AOC has just released a “relatively” affordable solution for this sort of dilemma. The new AOC 34 inch UltraWideQuad HD (U3477PQU) monitor hits the shelves this December 8th, 2015.
Sporting a resolution of 3440 x 1440 in a 21:9 aspect ratio, this monitor provides just a few more pixels vertically than my two 1920 x 1200 Dells, and just a few less pixels on …

The Designed By Razer Case – Is it Just a Green and Black NZXT H440?

NZXT H440 Razer Edition Enclosure 1 500x342 The Designed By Razer Case   Is it Just a Green and Black NZXT H440?
NZXT and Razer have collaborated on a new case bearing the peripheral manufacturer’s name and styling. Instead of reinventing the wheel, they took the award winning NZXT H440 (see our review) and have a “Designed by Razer” edition of the case. It will continue to off the best features of the H440, with cosmetics that are unmistakably Razer. This includes a mainly jet black color scheme, accented by the Razer emblem, along with a lot of green lighting. We got our hands on the NZXT H440 “Designed by Razer” Edition before it ships out to the public. Here’s …

Noctua Brings Signature Quality to Smaller Platforms

Noctua NH U9S 3 500x453 Noctua Brings Signature Quality to Smaller Platforms
There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that Noctua is among the top manufacturers of CPU air coolers. They are also the makers of one of the best and quietest fan series we have ever had the pleasure of using. The one drawback to Noctua’s amazing air cooling solutions is their size being either too big for most or too small for general applications. Looking to provide more options for customers in the middle, Noctua has three new 92 mm coolers.
The new Noctua NH-U9S, NH-D9L, and NH-D9DX i4 are set to provide the same great cooling performance you expect …

macgpic 1407492108 11804329282877 op 500x295 Apple Removes All TRIM Support on Third Party SSDs in Yosemite
We were excited to hear about third-party SSDs for Apple products that supported TRIM, but now, with the latest update to the MacOS X (10.10) aka Yosemite. But, it looks like Apple may have spoiled that fun.
TRIM marks data to be deleted that was removed at the filesystem level. Normally, SSDs do not keep track of the blocks that are no longer in use. This is where TRIM enabled SSDs would come into play by  helping increase the life of of the SSD, and performance over that lifespan.
Apple introduced a new security requirement within Yosemite calked kext …
