I’m a junkie… It’s an addiction that I can’t put away and unfortunately costs a whole lot. I’m talking about photography and although you can’t always chase after the latest and the greatest gear, sometimes there comes along a nifty piece of hardware or software that is worth the money. I recently purchased the onOne [...]
Over the past few weeks and even months, I’ve spent a fair bit of time at a couple of stores. It’s not that I need a bunch of stuff, it’s just that the customer service and knowledgable people at these places are absolutely fantastic. The first place that I started to hang out as I [...]
Things have been going very well at BCCHardware (my alter ego site), and this year we’ve seen growth that has impressed and amazed us. Not only have we reached the magic “Six Million” hits a month, we have signed up a few new advertisers and sponsors. It’s pretty darn incredible that it all started out [...]
I just finished up a bit of an interesting interview, shop tour and Q&A session with Geoff Lyon of CoolIT Systems in Calgary Alberta. They touched a few of their current products, where they’ve come from and even dropped a few hints regarding what we can expect from them in the future. We’ve chopped the [...]

We have some confirmed sponsors already and are sure to have a lot of prizes available again this year. Last we we gave [...]
If you’ve been following the latest LAN party thread over at the BCCHardware Forums, you may be interested to see what’s going on. We managed to get 11 people in a small garage and have had a ton of fun playing Unreal Tournament 2004, and some other games. No one is really sporting anything too [...]
I just got a call from Dallmann Computers saying that I’d just received some new gear. I’ve been waiting for a few things so I eagerly dropped it to see what was up. It seems that BCCHardware has just received the GS1000 case from Zalman as well as the CNPS 9300 AT HSF. These products [...]
A while back nVidia bought out Aegia and started developing Physx themselves. For those of you not in the know, in-game physics help with realism – not necessarily performance. This gives the consumer a great “feel” for the game and help build more immersive gameplay. Before nVidia bought up Aegia, separate hardware [...]
Alright. I was a little hasty when I first handed down the verdict that Devil May Cry 4 was lame. The fact still stands that requiring a person to buy a XBOX 360 controller (or something else with dual analog sticks and a POV pad) to play a computer game is a little lame. . [...]
