BFG GeForce 7800GTX OC:

HotHardware has just posted a review of the BFG GeForce 7800GTX OC that you should read if you are shopping for a new video card. For comparison purposes, you can see our review here.

Another thing to throw into the mix that should weigh heavily for you if you're looking at cards that claim to be "overclocked" out of the box, is the warranty. Here again BFG stands tall in the crowd offering a lifetime warranty on the card while others we've tested recently only offer a 1 year warranty.

Blind Video Game Kid Follow-Up:

I got an e-mail from Brice Mellen the blind 17 year old kid we told you about on Tuesday. The kid is a whiz at playing video games but there is only one problem thieves STOLE his console and now he doesn’t have a console anymore to play on. I contacted Brice and let him know that the [H] has his back and we are sending him a new Xbox. I’m trying to scrape together some fighting games in the mean time to go with it. If anyone wants his address e-mail me maybe you got an old Xbox game laying around that could be put to good use.

He told me the story of how he has had his gaming console stolen not once but TWICE from his house. One of the times he was actually at home talking to the "thieves" while they took the console. But even with those setbacks Brice is still has a positive attitude and a strong desire to play games!
