Building a computer youself will get you the most bang for your buck. If you want to try your hand at that, the DIY/build-build-your-own section in Tom's Hardware will give you almost all the info you need, and I'm sure knowedgable peeps on the forums here will happily help you out. Now, if...

Go to your favorite hardware component site, find the networking section, then browse wireless adapter PCI cards (you can get PCI or PCIe wireless cards depending on which expansion slots you have available). Pop it into a PCI slot and you're good to go, connect the same way you would on a...

Yeah, skip the water cooling. The only time you *ever* need a liquid cooled computer is if you're overclocking, and you probably don't want to do that on your first build. For coolers, I like Tuniq. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835154011 If you are dying to have...

Or if you want to keep kosher, you could try the Barnacle Goose! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barnacle_goose I will admit I've not had goose, but I do like duck!

You could build in a horizontal case like a Home Theater PC (HTPC). Most of these could fit a full size motherboard and some can handle a fill size graphics card too (this will probably make it about twice as thick as your xbox, about the size of a home theater tuner box). You could build...

Yeah.. methinks no. If you've made a thread asking the basics of what your new Mac would be capable of, a hackintoch is probably a stretch... unless... nevemind, you're not the same person who posted a thread asking for ideas on what to do with a year to kill. I buddy of mine who is a sys...

Regarding this point, the recent ruling against Autodesk may become relevant. In the recently overtured case TIMOTHY S. VERNOR v. AUTODESK, INC, a federal district judge ruled that calling hard copies of software "liscenses" and allowing them to be used conditionally and not resold by forcing...

If the preorder bonus is an in-game bonus (e.g. Fallout New Vegas), I don't think bonuses unique to retailers is a big deal considering each bonus is so small compared to the size of the full game that their effect on the experience is neglidgible. It seems that so far, devs have saved the...

Just a heads up, I have had issues with KOTOR on multiple core CPUs. I had to disable the game process from running on all but one core (it's light enough to run on just one so it was ok). They might have solved this problem if you're running it on steam, or maybe that's all patched, but just...

It seems to me that your system should be quite capable save for one sticking point: Graphics. I'm not sure of the exact equivalent of the Intel HD4000, but it should be fine for most things, nonetheless for some games, it is stated as explicitly not supported (e.g. CoD BlackOps and Civ5), and...

I don't know much about screen grabbing video, but as far as producing good quality engaging videos is concerned, you should record you voice separately. Play your game or do your demo first and record the video (and in-game audio if necessary) and then after the fact narrate it with a decent...
