When The Price Is To Good To Be True
The Blade by Ron Schenone, MVP —
I had previously wrote about building a new gaming rig, in which I had described some of the parts I had purchased. One of the parts I used was a case that came with a 585 watt power supply at $69.95 and free shipping. The unit [power supply] failed within a week of use.
This is a link to the item I had ordered located here.

NVIDIA: Intel’s Atom pricing is anti-competitive
Liliputing —
... Intel charges customers that want Intel Atom chips without the accompanying 945GSE chipset a higher price. Or to put it bluntly, the Intel Atom chip in NVIDIA Ion-based systems costs more than the Atom CPU in netbooks based around Intel’s chipset. So not only will customers wind up paying more for NVIDIA Ion comptuers because of the higher performance graphics processor, but they’ll also have to help foot the bill for more expensive Atom processors.
That’s all old news. What’s new today is that NVIDIA CEO Jen-Hsun ...
