That's 11.75"

Here's the case unpacked. It was larger than expected but that's worked out well since anything smaller would feel a bit cramped. I got the motherboard and cooler seated last night. There's plenty of room for the H80. What I didn't realize was that the front fans hook onto the case with...

My dream of building a sff PC is almost reality. I just got my v354b yesterday and all I have to do now is tear down my current rig for the RAM, H80, PSU, SSD&HDD and X-Fi. I'm debating whether to bother with a DVD drive. I was surprised by how big the v354b is - it's about half the height...

I haven't been keeping regular backups of my data the way I know I should, so I'm looking to set up something simple and automated. I'm concerned primarily with my desktop, less so with my laptop or other miscellaneous machines (HTPC, etc). I was thinking about a 2TB NAS that could, while...

I was looking for a mATX board and they only had one board, which I was told was mislabeled as mATX, so I got a gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 for my new mATX build. It paired with the 2600k for the $50 discount though. :D

As an update, I went to get a 2500k and Z68 motherboard per the website but an updated flier in the store revealed that the bundle is good on 2500k, 2600k, and 2700k purchased with any Z68 or Z77 board.

I'm not seeing the $50 off motherboard with the 2600k, only the 2500k. The advertised specials PDF says it's 2500k+Z68 only.

My state's not on the list, looks like I won't get my $4.

College kids saw other people not having to study as much and were envious.

I built an Athlon II X4 computer about a year ago for my mom to do email just because it was so cheap. A Phenom II is overkill but unless it's cost effective to return it, just roll with it.

I run 4 monitors and having 1 GPU to feed them all would be awesome.

I like their participation in the tech community; it's icing on the cake that is their reliability and build quality.

AMD's less expensive but performs competitively.

It's live. Thanks for the heads up - didn't realize Steam was doing daily deals.

I didn't need this at all but justified it as a just-in-case upgrade for BF3.
