So I currently have the T-Mobile MyTouch 4G (A rebranded HTC Glacier). It does the job but it's getting long in the tooth and I now want an upgrade. I've checking out the Moto G and it appears to be better than my current smartphone in almost every way: Display, camera, battery life, etc. Key...

It's time now. The Background: After receiving an Antec Truepower New 750W from Antec as part of my Antec Lanboy review a few months ago, it got me thinking: it's been a while since I've upgraded the guts of my PC. In fact, the last major upgrade was the PNY 8800GT I bought back in 2008. The...
