The Zune 120GB

I recently picked up a 120GB Zune on a blowout sale for just over $200 making it one of the cheapest/GB players around.  I owned an 80GB iPod Classic and a 16GB iPod Touch at this point and was able to sell off my 80GB Classic for 75% of the cost of the new Zune.  [...]

New Microsoft Ads

Microsoft has allotted 300 Million for their latest advertising campaign that tries to undo the damage that has been done by the “Mac vs. PC” ads done by Apple. The first couple of ads featured casual banter between Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld and mostly felt like Seinfeld mini-episodes that were so far left field [...]

August = Over

August was a very busy month at BCCHardware and while we didn’t have the most reviews posted ever, we are now up to 363 Reviews and growing.  We received a lot of new gear this past month and a lot of it is on the bench being tested right now.  For instance, we’ve got an [...]

Busy with Reviews

Things have been wicked busy around here lately.  My real job has kept me hopping as well as helping Daniel of SLAGD with his house roof (weekend before last).  Regardless, products have been rolling in, and rolling through the shop before they roll back out and the last three reviews off the bench are as [...]

Samsung CLP-600N SMPS Fan Error Fix

If you’re lucky enough to have a CLP-600N Samsung printer and have had it for more than a few months there is a good chance that you’ve had to try and reset the printer due to an SMPS Fan Error.  Samsung support offers two solutions.  1) Shut the printer off for a while and then [...]

New Toys, New Gear, New Reviews

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 [...]

Physx for NVIDIA is Here

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 was required to [...]

Fedex = Friggin Employees Deliver Everything to X

I know I stretch that headline a wee bit too much but frankly I’m choked right now.  I was expecting a package worth several hundred dollars to arrive on Friday and I waited around until about 4:55pm (business closes at 5:00pm).  Nothing showed up so I left – with the owner of the store staying [...]

Ustream.tv testing

I’m just trying out some ustream action today so if you have a chance to come watch and chat, that would be fantastic to get your feedback on this service.  I’m not sure how much we’ll be doing in the future, but it might become an integral part of BCCHardware.com . . . then again [...]

It’s All Good!

Things have been wicked busy around the farm, with the family and at BCCHardware.com lately.  I’ve just written another review and this time I had a look at a nice little iPod Touch case from PowerSupport that promises to keep your Touch looking as classy as the day it was new.  It seems to be [...]
