For sale were: PS3 80GB with games/accessories, my gaming PC (Core i7, 12GB RAM, GTX770), Fritz!Box 7390, Google Nexus 10. Update: all gone. I still have other PCs; console barely used. Found cables, old HDDs, junk for disposal. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Hardware review of the LG Ultrawide Monitor 29EA93 focused on gaming. 29-inch IPS panel, 2560x1080 (21:9), 67.5cm x 28.5cm, good contrast, black levels, and wide viewing angles. Many games supported 21:9 without settings; e.g., League of Legends shows more view, giving a slight tactical advantage. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Genius used to be known; my first beige two-button mouse was from them. Since 1986 brands like Roccat, Razer, Logitech, SteelSeries dominated. With the Genius Maurus targeting North America, they chase MadCatz. Mouse shape is subjective, software often buggy. Marketing claims: over-clocking SG Core, 21 macros, precision, 20G. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I’m testing the LG DM2350D-PZ. Included: monitor, power supply, VGA cable, remote, two polarized glasses (one clip-on), two driver CDs, five manuals. TV setup is simple; menus are clear. Speakers are weak, bass-poor. Picture quality is good. As a living room TV it feels too small. Supports 2D-to-3D conversion. ...

Features: 3D TV, PCMCIA, hybrid tuner with DVB-T, DVB-C HD (MPEG4 AVC), PAL/SECAM. Downsides: only power and VGA cables, no HDMI/TV cables. Good build, slim, elegant design. Photos follow. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I use a Fritzbox 7390. AVM adds many features; now a beta lets USB devices be reachable over the internet. Sounds nice, but USB sharing was slow even in LAN; upload is too small for effective sharing, images are impractical. Sensitive files need encryption; too cumbersome. I’d rather use Dropbox. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I compare sound cards after a week with the Creative Sound Blaster Recon3D. Previously used X-Fi Extreme Audio and Asus Xonar DS; Xonar drivers were awful. I wanted reliable 5.1 via Dolby Digital Live and SPDIF. Recon3D encodes “What U Hear” and outputs true 5.1 in games like Battlefield 3. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: I’m getting one soon, but not sure if I’m happy. Marketing promises “mind-blowing” sound. Compared to X-Fi Extreme Audio, it’s a step forward, but lacks features of X-Fi Titanium HD: no hardware access in Win8, no OpenAL, no ASIO—bad for music/video work, gamers might not care. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Rage looks good by default, but I tweaked configs to use my PC’s resources. Since the UI has few options, changes go in rageConfig.cfg. Steps: set Steam launch options (+com_skipIntroVideo 1, g_fov 96, etc.), then create/edit rageConfig.cfg in steamapps/common/rage/base and paste the provided config. ...

Translation This original post is written in german 🇩🇪, a rough Translation: Part 2 covers the case. My Antec 900 has defects, so I’m getting a new one: SilverStone RV02. The motherboard is rotated 90°, ports on top under a flap for cleaner cabling. Bottom fans improve airflow, good for multi-GPU. Shipping starts tomorrow. CPU cooler: switching to Scythe Mugen 2. ...
