we all know that TBCS is the be all to end all sites, and that everyone is here 24/7 with at least one browser window, right?

What other sites do you frequent and why? Im always on the lookout for new sites so I'll jot down a couple...

Of course [H]ardOCP.com (http://www.hardocp.com) for thier news and sometimes reviews
Anandtech.com (http://www.forums.anandtech.com) for their fs/ft forums
InsaneTek.com (http://www.insanetek.com) since the owner is my boy (we used to write together on another site)
Rage3d.com (http://www.rage3d.com) for everything ATI
Guru3d.com (http://www.guru3d.com) for everything nvidia
xtremeresources.com (http://www.xtremeresources.com) for the hardcore overclocking and excellent cooling info

there are many others, but this is just to get the list started...

I visit PC Stats (http://www.pcstats.com/) and Extreme Tech (http://www.extremetech.com/) quite often. PCStats is an excellent site for computer newbs like me. They run through everything from how to Raid HDDs to Burning a CD to Installing Linux and how it works.

Perhaps, but at least I don't stoop to insulting the people who run or frequent other sites in the modding community like some people.

Besides, a question was asked and I answered it honestly.

Nope now About:blank is filtered out by the proxy server. Non Viewable Reasons: SEX, DRUGS, GUNS

I think my work is getting a bit heavy handed on the conent aspect.

OMG, if you game or are in to tweaking your system, go to www.tweakguides.com It is absolutley incredible!:D The author, Korush Ghazi, has written about twenty guides on how to tweak XP, every recent game, and even drivers such as Catalyst. And they really work, too! I hope he keeps writing those amazing guides of his.

Hehe, well, I thought it was helpful. Of course, I had to hunt for the information, but I found it eventually. I especially like the recommended Utilities section. I use RegSupreme, CCleaner, and Cacheman all the time now. :)
