Have Internet, will travel
To borrow the first line from The Streets' magnificent A Grand Don't Come for Free, it was supposed to be so easy. After a brutally long crunch period that lasted from late March through the first week of May, I set out on vacation. For two weeks, I would be roaming through the Italian countryside, girlfriend by my side, and the rigors of life as a hardware reviewer left behind.
Yeah, we get to play with the latest and greatest techno-toys all the time—and we get paid for it. But we also endure tight deadlines and last-minute releases that come without warning. The reviews we create here at TR take a lot of time, and I don't even want to contemplate ...

BitFenix intros enthusiast-friendly mini-ITX case
We've seen more than our fair share of Mini-ITX enclosures over the years, and we've reviewed quite a few of them, too.

Everything about it is unusual, from the pudgy, Mac Pro-ish vibe of its external design to the clever arrangement of its internals.

A brief look at Nvidia's GK110 graphics chip
Last week at its GPU Technology Conference, Nvidia unveiled the first details of its upcoming GK110 GPU, the "real" Kepler chip and bigger brother to the GK104 silicon powering the GeForce GTX 600 series. Although the GK110 won't be hitting the market for some time yet, Nvidia's increasing focus on GPU-computing applications has changed the rules, causing the GPU firm to show its cards well ahead of the product's release. As a result, we now know quite a bit about the GK110's architecture and the mix of resources it offers for GPU-computing work. With a little conjecture, we can probably paint a fairly accurate picture of its graphics capabilities, too.
Let's start with the GK110's basic specifications. Since we've known the GK104's layout for a while now, the exact dimensions of its bigger brother have been the subject of some speculation. Turns out most of our guesses weren't too far from the mark, although there are a few surprises. We ...
