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 [...]

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 [...]

Best Router Ever?

I have just posted a review of possibly the best router ever and it’s from D-Link.  I know that back in the day some of their products were pretty flaky, but I’ve been using their DGL-4300 for years now and haven’t had any issues.  I just reviewed the updated DGL-4500 router and this one adds [...]

It’s Over – DMC4

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. . [...]

12Seconds.TV

There are getting to be a tonne of social networking apps for mobile users.  Many of these center around Twitter, Pownce, FriendFeed or Facebook and most of these are limited to text only.  Generally speaking if you want to add video it can be a pain, and not something many novice users are willing to [...]

Blogging with Apple

Just got my iPod touch and after a trip to the apps store I have now enabled blogging from the iPod. The keyboard is not very condusive for fast typing but thanks to the somewhat decent ‘predictive’ cognition. This is taking way too long so I’m out.
