Time flies…it seems like just yesterday that I was filming Ultimate Computer 1, the very first video I uploaded to youtube. 46 videos and 1,614 subscribers later, the newest Ultimate Computer has arrived!  This time, the build focuses on bang-for-your-buck power, effectively providing tons of gaming horsepower, for a manageable price tag of around $2000US.  Check out the video below, or go visit the project page at UltimateComputers.net to download the song and more!

Users on this blog, ultimatecomputers.net, and youtube have been begging me to do an overclocking guide for a long time.  Initially I was reluctant, because overclocking works differently on almost every system.  But, I’ve finally given in, and I put together a two-part TechBits episode on overclocking.  Because it would be impossible to cover all possible configurations, this video is not intended to be a tutorial, but rather a guide get people started with overclocking.  If you need more help overclocking your specific system, there’s a whole forum for that at UltimateComputers.net!  The community (and I) can help you out there ;)

This week’s episode of techbits was a request from youtube user glideby7.  He wanted some help figuring out which video card to get, and I figured a brief explination of the specifications and compatibilities would be of some help.  Check out the embed below, and don’t forget to give me suggestions for future episodes.

Building the Ultimate Computer: Edition 6 is live!  This is undoubtedly the most bleeding-edge computer I’ve ever built.  It sports a GTX280 Video Card, an Intel Core i7 940 Quad Core CPU, and 12GB of DDR3 Triple Channel RAM!  This thing hasn’t even been overclocked yet and it’s is already destroying benchmarks left and right.  Check out the embedded youtube video or watch the stellar HD VERSION ON YOUTUBE.

Also, we’ve made the parts list, soundtrack and photo gallery available on the corresponding UltimateComputers.net Project Page.

This week, in my TechBits video blog, I take a look at the two competeing multi-videocard technoogies – crossfire from ATI, and SLI from Nvidia.  Check it out below, or watch it in HD at youtube.com.
