The 270x I recently purchased was the same way. I have a second one on the way so if I remember this post Ill see if the second one was like that. I'm sure its probably just how they ship them now. Id prefer a factory branded seal on the outside and internal packaging in order to...

Southeastern Kentucky grows enormous amounts of Marijuana. Several local sheriff's have been busted over the years for taking bribes, and theirs lots of local corruption surrounding the drug trade. The plants tend to grow well and theirs still an old school farming community in the region...

So for my new build (dont look at my old sig :P) I've been going back and forth for weeks trying to find the right card for me. Current system specs, corsair g800 watt ps, amd 8150 cpu, 8 gb corsair ddr3, and an ASUS M5A88-V EVO mobo. Ive been looking at crossfire configurations mostly...

Wow came from left field from a company that hadn't been doing mmo's but were good at encouraging a sense of community. Their is such a dedicated fan base for the elder scrolls series now that I think its going to be the first game in an age of man that can really do something new and unique...

Even when Amd chips outperformed intel by a vast margin their was some rumor of sinking ship syndrome. I personally think its a bad thing, with no competition intel can essentially charge whatever they want for their products.

My current rig (not the ancient one in my sig) was hit by lightning last summer. Only the motherboard failed, all other parts working and accounted for. In the process of upgrading my case and cooling solutions. Interestingly enough for a short time some of the stuff inside was magnetized...

Im in love with the way the light reflects off the tubing. Great overall look and color coordination.

You should be going alot slower on lower rpm's with the low cost cutting wheels they give you with the kits. You can get reinforced wheels, but the same techniques should be applied go slowly and smoothly and mask off your work areas. Measure 6 times and cut once is my motto.

1.21 Jiggawatts for sure

I ended up going with the PC 60-fnwx, although I had looked at this case as well. They seem to be extremely similar in layout. I just realized how old the rig in my signature was :O. That thing still runs though.

Having alot of trouble deciding on a case for my new build. I want enough room to mount a 240 mm radiator above the motherboard, a removable motherboard tray would be nice but not an absolute must, power supply mounted on bottom of case, and hopefully a sidewindow and blacked out interior...

Old forum member here! I need a new rig anyways!

Aye ive been checking the forum often to see if hes finally finished this. He appeared to be close to stage of final assembly, with an absolutely ridiculous amount of work to be put into it at that point, so i can certainly see why hes taking so long to finish with the build. Still would like...
