Reviews and views of PC software, hardware, and other high tech gadgets for people on a budget. I look for the best solutions which are not always free.
When selecting PC hardware my primary goal is cutting edge performance at cost cutting prices.
Its your digital life, get the most out of it.

Upgrading a Honda fit with MediaLink head unit and a Google Nexus Tablet for Waze.
I completed my latest project. This is a receiver with mirrorlink. Anything you can do on the phone you can also do on the stereo. There is some lag so movie viewing isn't worth while but apps, search, navigation, and music are ideal. It required a hacked Italian version of the samsung software and a grounding the safety circuits. I can also control apps like google play and pandora via bluetooth. The solution isn't ideal but beats any new car tech except radar proximity detection. I have a Nexus 7 with Waze running on left as well. This doesn't obscure my vision at all. I sit much higher than the pictures indicate. The picture of the tablet holder is at night so it looks a bit dingy but it matches the dash exactly and is actually suctioned to a rounded surface. The dash holder cost $12 and has absolutely no vibration. The airbag isn't obstructed. For it to be unsafe in a accident I would need to be hit from behind. It isn't as safe as nothing at all but doesn't concern me any more than a phone mount or a GPS.
This is no ad. I use this on everything I can to get a small percentage back. Works at NewEgg, TigerDirect, and Amazon and just about everywhere. After your order you have to wait for the payment to post to see your money reported to FatWallet. Sometimes the extra savings is free stuff with a discount. I only had one issue with my cash back and FatWallet support handled it via email quickly.
The page has a table at the top with charts from previous years. The testing is done the year it is manufactured. You may need to go to a older chart to find your product.
SLI and CrossFire are listed on a seperate chart as well that can be found in the same table.
GURU3d shows very different results. The idea is to get a trending of information to allow you to make an educated decision.
