VR-Zone are reporting a cut down version of the current NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB named the GTX 460 SE is set to be released November 15th. The GTX 460 SE is certainly an interesting, if somewhat perplexing new card, seemingly burst out of nowhere. Massive overclocking potential is not out of the question either. At the right price, the GTX 460 SE can be an excellent value for money proposition.

Bit-tech preview Gigabyte's upcoming GeForce GTX 480 Super Overclock. In true Gigabyte fashion, it has rammed as much power hardware on the board as possible: there's 12+2-phase power (just like the GTX 470 SOC) along with five NEC Prodalisers that are basically high powered capacitors which also generate a very low ESR (power ripple) for the GPU core.
So what's inside Microsoft's Kinect, Anyway? iFixit tear apart Microsoft's latest gadget and find out. We haven’t been this excited to get our hands on new hardware since the iPad. The way that we interact with computers is (finally) evolving, and Kinect is unlike any hardware we’ve ever taken apart. In fact, the only thing we’ve ever taken apart that has anywhere close to this many sensors is Pleo, the dinosaur robot.
