Silverstone IceMyst PC AIO Cooler

Silverstone IceMyst PC AIO Cooler

On its own, Silverstone’s IceMyst series looks just like most premium CPU coolers. But it has a neat trick up its sleeve, er, block.

Hardware Canucks has a hands-on review of the cooler.

Why Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

Why Ctrl-Alt-Delete?

It’s a key sequence PC users dread having to use, but the old “Ctrl-Alt-Delete” is still in use today. Nostalgia Nerd looks back at the origin of this key combo which dates back to the 1980s. We’re sure that Apple will profess that their “Command-Option-Esc” key combo is far superior.
