    Phoenix' visit to Port Elixabeth

    I have just returned from Port Elizabeth, where he was shocked and punctured by a neurologist. We need more doctors like him.

    Hooking up more than 2 case fans

    I feel like pimping out my Coolermaster CM690, but see that my mother board has only two case fan headers. Is this because my motherboard is a cheaper model? Is there any way I can get around this and hook up more fans? Thank you

    Cost of Windows 7

    I see that a certain etailer is advertising pre-orders via Amazon of Windows 7 Home Premium for a shade over R2000. If it does end up retailing for a similar price in South Africa, will you buy it, keep using your existing OS or jump ship to another OS? I am thinking of switching to a...

    Laptop

    /*I didn't think this belonged in the gaming PC section. With some help from my brother, I shall be getting a laptop for my mother, hopefully as a Christmas present. The Netbooks with the 8 inch screens may be a little too small for her, but a 15 inch screen ought to be about right. The...
