Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Confused why we're stuck on full-length GPUs. The mini versions seem to work pretty well, and would reduce volume quite a bit.
I'm also in favor of internal PSUs rather than a brick, but agree having it on any side besides the back (or bottom I suppose, with a hole for the cord) would be odd.
I bought my Skull Canyon w/ 6770hq for ~$550, and it was bundled with a 256gb m.2 and 8gb stick. I just added another matching 8gb stick for $40, so was built all-in for <$600. These will be considerably more expensive, but hopefully some deals will pop up again to make it more reasonable. I...
I'm pretty excited about this though. Yes, price-wise we can build something much more capable for less, but not in this form factor (7L vs 1.2L). Looking forward to having one of the 100w skus in the bedroom.
Latest design looks great! I agree with everything Boil said about black hardware, black sunken screws on the sides, and black USB ports. Also dislike the shiny front panel from earlier picks (reminds me of old refrigerators), something with a fine, matte texture (or brushed) would be cool...
Thanks Kyle for doing this, and Nimisys for generously providing the sandy bridge hardware. Much appreciated guys.
The results do make me sad though. I know you guys all know this already, but the desktop enthusiast market is quite small (and shrinking). The CPU demands for the vast...
This case looks awesome, especially in white! What a beautiful and streamlined design, inside and out! I've subscribed to emails.
My one and only design suggestion on the white case is that the black power button looks (in my own opinion) a bit out of place on the clean white chassis. Looks...
I was thinking Dragon Age: Origins + LOTR: Rise of the Witch King (never got around to getting it) for $25 total. Not bad.
How much of a pain is EA's digital download service? Is it not worth it? Do i have to install crappy software to make this work?
Best. Game. Ever.
If you have not played Mass Effect, this is your chance. Easily my favorite game of all time. Simply brilliant.
Too bad I paid ~$50 for mine when it was released :(
I have the common 37" 1080P Westinghouse (link) and couldn't be happier. I've used both VGA (my old PC) and DVI (new pc) and PC looks perfect over both of those. Gaming is excellent and I never notice any ghosting or lag. As a TV it's good (but not great), though I'm overall very happy with...
I just build a rig for ~$1500 a few weeks ago (in my sig). I'm extremely happy with it. I put a lot of time researching, so feel free to use it as a guide.
As for RAM, I'd go with the G.skill 2x2gb kit (probably the DDR2-1000, but all are great). I got Corsair dominator but the G.skill give...
Actually, I think I got them all through newegg's rebate center...they don't make it so easy to find, but I figured it out. My apologies for the unnecessary thread.
I ordered some the parts for the build in my sig on Monday (six days ago). However, I didn't print out the rebates at the time of order. I went to go print them out and send them in today, and realized that several are no longer listed on the site because they have been replaced by newer dated...
From what I understand, any quad over 3.0Ghz will not bottleneck your GPU. At such a high resolution, only your GPU can really be the bottleneck, even though it's super powerful.
Great...if I decide I need the ports, I'll pull the trigger on one of those for $30 shipped....but I can't see doing it right now. Thanks a bunch for posting that pfunkman.
