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.
Got tracking numbers on Paypal... going to wait this one out and see what happens. If items arrive and turn out to be fake, I'll open a dispute on eBay.
Many people recommended pairing the B652 with the Lepai, which outputs 20W/channel. The B652's are rated for 40W RMS each, but you don't need an amp that powerful for them to sound good. You're not going to want to blast these anyway. They should still be plenty loud at 10-15W/channel.
Shipping is the "dealbreaker" here. You can get the B652 off Amazon for about the same price w/ free Prime shipping, assuming you have Prime. I just ordered a pair last week, actually. I also ordered the Lepai LP-2020+ to power it. Total cost under $70.
Regardless, that case is pretty awesome. It looks like a modder's dream, too, not unlike the Lian Li Rocketfish I used to own. You should cut some cable management holes into the mobo tray.
The T221 is a ridiculously awesome monitor, but I don't see what kind of purpose it would serve in a home setup. 22" with that high of a resolution seems pointless. And it's definitely ill-suited for gaming since the maximum refresh rate is 41Hz.
Agh, I just read many reports of bad backlighting, screen-door effect, and terrible input lag. And on top of that, you can't be sure whether it's an S-IPS or VA until you check the serial number. Guess I'll have to skip this one.
Nice Caselabs case. And yeah, going from 3 smaller monitors in Eyefinity/Surround to 1 30" IPS is a big jump. I'm so glad I ditched my plans for 3 U2311H and just splurged on a ZR30w. Easier to manage, better image quality, no bezels in the way during gaming.
$400 for a 3007wfp?! I want to murder someone. I paid $840 shipped for my new open box ZR30w and thought THAT was an amazing deal.
Are there any dead pixels/scratches?
Also, what are you using for lighting?
