I'd be ordering one right now, if only it still had the optical audio output port. My receiver doesn't have HDMI, so it's not compatible and I will need to replace it. New receivers no longer have the 6-channel analog inputs to support my SACD pla…

My wife is a photographer/blogger who depends on me for a lot of the "tech support" aspects. She has been using Aperture with our old Sony A100 DSLR, with Pixelmator when she needs a little more editing capability. (I'd like to do more photography m…

I have not seen any official statements regarding this question, or any attempted 3rd-party tests, so I can't really say. As the SSD card is mounted to a socket that is unique to one of the GPU cards, the SSD would not be usable with that card remo…

I have not seen such a product or the parts to roll your own yet. However, I do believe there is adequate demand for the capabilities, especially when the new Mac Pro becomes available. One things you say is that you don't want a motherboard; but I…

Gaming consoles were never "PCs", and if anything are "Pre-PC". They are not intended to run general-purpose software, be used in a workstation environment, or have wildly flexible hardware configurations. Rather, they are intended to run entertai…
