    Dual GTX980 and ALIENWARE AW3418DWQHD (3440 x 1440 @ 120Hz)

    As long as it is "usable", I can deal with that. When I have time to do an overhaul next year, I'll up the ante on my rig. Thanks!

    Dual GTX980 and ALIENWARE AW3418DWQHD (3440 x 1440 @ 120Hz)

    My older Asus Rog Swift (one of the first ones out) died. I need to replace and am looking at the Alienware. NOT in a position to redo GPU hardware in current rig, so is a Dual GTX980 setup good enough to drive this monitor at the stated resolution?

    Coming back (in a couple of months)

    So what is the upcoming BigAdv core count going to be? What is it now? I'll keep that in mind as I start to look at 4P systems.

    Coming back (in a couple of months)

    As the time comes close, I will definitely be keeping a tab on Maxwell. If it does come to fruition, then I will definitely be on the lookout. The gains from the 780ti and the Titan don't justify their cost. For ME, the GTX780 still hits the sweet spot.

    Coming back (in a couple of months)

    SOOOO It's been a while. My last F@H WU was July of 2012. My gear was getting a little old and with the old job, things were a little tight fiscally so F@H had to be shut down. Well, I am in a new job and that I love and pays a hell of a lot better. In Feb, I will be upgrading my sig rig to...

    New LAN Box / Workstation Setup

    Mostly a FPS and RPG (Oblivion and the like). I would love all the eye candy available, but realize sacrifices have to be made. Ideally, I would like to get a 1440p monitor this summer, but I will likely be taking my LG 24" 12x19 monitor with me to QuakeCon. If driving a 1440p will require...

    New LAN Box / Workstation Setup

    I am going with the Intel Core i5-3570k. If I got with the Corsair Carbide Air 540, I'll have many MoBo opitons. The CoolerMaster 130 only gives me the mITX as an option. The route that I go will depend partly on what my wife will consider sitting on her desk (which it will sit the majority of...

    New LAN Box / Workstation Setup

    I'm keeping my options open. I will probably get the CPU at MC and go with a CM 130 Elite (mITX), but am considering staying with the Corsair Carbide Air 540 and WC'ing the rig. This thread has given my some inspiration. I'll do a two RAD version of his setup (don't want to have to mod to get...

    Seasonic Topre Type Heaven Keyboard and S12G PSU Lucky Draw

    I've heard lots of good things about Seasonic and would love one for one of my new builds.

    New LAN Box / Workstation Setup

    After doing some reading, it doesn't look as if the Haswell can OC well. If I wanted to OC, would the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core serve me better? Unfortunately, MicroCenter doesn't have a lot of offerings for the LGA1155 socket in mITX.

    Cooler Master HAF XB EVO

    Definitely. I may build a little sooner than end of Jan. I'm recruiting my buddy to my firm and I get a $5k signing bonus for each and every hire that is paid 30 days after they start (have 5 other people in my recruiting pipeline and all have been shortlisted so may be a banging Jan / Feb)...

    Cooler Master HAF XB EVO

    Thanks for the suggestion. I think I am going to go with your suggestion versus the HAF XB EVO..

    New LAN Box / Workstation Setup

    My wife's computer took a dump and I will be using the parts from it to build a NAS. She needs a new computer and I need a box that I can take to QuakeCon with me next year. In addition, this box will be used for ripping / converting our extensive DVD collection to be placed on the NAS for...
