12th Annual PC building competition to take place at CES 2009
The 12th annual Build Your Own PC Race for Charity hosted by TigerDirect, CompUSA, AMD and Systemax is set to take place again from 5:30 - 8:00 p.m. on January 8, 2009 at the Wynn Hotel. In case you aren’t familiar with this charity event, basically 30 tech journalists/companies work amongst themselves to design a PC in the shortest amount of time. For first place, $10,000 gets donated to that companies’ chosen charity, second place gets $2,500 to their charity, and then third gets $1,000 for their charity.
This is very fast. and now generation is very fast for controling it.
To give some perspective on how fast these computers can be assembled, last year’s winner, Maximum PC’s Will Smith, made his PC in 10 minutes 30 seconds.

Acer crams a Quad-Core processor in the Aspire 
Acer has just added the Intel Core 2 Quad Mobile Processor Q9000 to its Aspire 8930G-7665 laptop. This particular version of the Aspire does not appear to be on the Acer website just yet. It looks pretty stylish, but any computer with an 18.4-screen will probably be pretty heavy to lug around. This notebook is really meant to be a desktop replacement with its 18.4-inch full HD display, Blu-ray drive, 4GB of RAM, and NVIDIA GeForce 9700M GT graphics card.
Acer is hoping to reach “multimedia and gaming enthusiasts” with this particular laptop and I think Acer should get their attention. The Acer Aspire will be priced at $1799.99.
