Madshrimps has taken a look at this awesome case mod where a guy turned his regular PC case into an entertainment center.

And how do you deal with an audio file that you're not familiar with? This TechTip looks at some popular audio formats and some of their characteristics."

So, read on to see how to set up and install Windows Vista Ultimate on an Intel Core 2 Duo system using RAID 0."

Carlos has sent in word of GamerZines who release several free Gaming magazines online downloadable in PDF. "Issue 2 of the free PC games magazine brings you a great preview of S.T.A.L.K.E.R, the long awaited radioactive shooter, plus a massive review of 2007's first great RTS, Maelstrom. We've also got an exclusive interview with the developer of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and an exclusive preview of The Lord of the Rings Online. Which barely leaves room to mention, the gaming on Vista feature, the reviews of WoW: TBC, Star Trek & Armed Assault or the previews of Vanguard & Fields Ops. Or even to mention the £600 of graphics cards we've got to give away."

PCMech have taken a quick look at two different Desktop search programs for Windows XP, possibly useful for those who don't want to upgrade to Vista. "Ever feel like you can not find that file you were working on yesterday? Or you misplaced the family vacation photos on the computer? Well this article will not be about organization, which is important in its own right. Instead, for today's Freeware Frenzy, I'll be pitting two desktop search programs against each other to see which emerges as the best. So sit back and read "Desktop Search Head to Head: Windows Desktop Search vs. X1 Enterprise Client.""
