Why you should buy the CLX SET Gaming Desktop

It takes a lot to make the kind of gaming PC that can tackle just about any challenge you throw its way. And while there’s quite a bit of satisfaction in building a custom rig, not everyone has the time or patience for this kind of DIY project. That’s why gaming PCs like this CLX SET prebuilt are so popular (even if they are costly). Under the hood, this version of the desktop runs an AMD Ryzen 7 Series CPU with 32GB of RAM, 2TB of SSD storage, and 6TB of HDD storage. Graphics are handled by the almighty NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4080.

With peripherals, data, and clock speeds like this, the CLX SET can literally handle anything. Our suggestion: fire up your favorite demanding MMORPG and see how smoothly everything runs during a frantic battle scene or when the screen is jam-packed with other players and NPCs. Thanks to the RTX 4080, the SET is able to deliver arresting visuals and brilliant HDR performance. Connect to a great monitor (we have an extensive list of monitor deals, too!) and experience spectacular ray tracing, high peak brightness levels, and stunning colors and contrast.

The CLX SET isn’t without its long list of inputs either. In addition to three HDMI ports and a DisplayPort connection, the SET also has a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, two USB 2.0 ports, and eight USB 3.2 ports!

Those who want to take their gaming on the go may have better luck with one of these gaming laptop deals, but those seeking power and performance (no matter the cost) will be best served by the amazing CLX SET Gaming Desktop. Save $900 when you order this workhorse PC through Best Buy.

Buying a monitor? This Mac app can expose problems before the return window closes
Your new monitor may look perfect, but it doesn't hurt to double check.
Screen Test v1.1

Making a brand-new tech purchase doesn't always carry the guarantee of a perfectly functioning unit. But a tiny Mac app called Screen Test can help you find a defect before it gets too late. Screen Test (version 1.1) is a native macOS utility containing more than 25 patterns and diagnostic tools for evaluating built-in and external displays. It can help reveal dead or stuck pixels, backlight bleeding, and other issues. The app works completely offline, so you don't have to rely on browser tabs or an internet connection.

Every pixel gets scrutinized

The old internet built a museum for dying tech sounds, and it’s somehow still alive
The wonderfully dated site has outlasted many of the noisy gadgets it was created to preserve
Camera, Electronics, Art

Before our gadgets became silent glass rectangles, they complained constantly. Dial-up modems screeched through every connection, while dot-matrix printers sounded like they were slowly chewing through the desk.

The Museum of Endangered Sounds keeps that irritating soundtrack alive. It first appeared in 2012, but the site is still online 14 years later, inviting visitors to hear technology that has mostly disappeared from everyday life.
