    Updating my 2010 Build - SSD + General Storage + Video Card

    Just bought a Powercolor 270X from Newegg, on sale at $190, and the two drives from Amazon. I'm going to throw those in when they arrive, see how it goes, and decide if a CPU is in the very near future (the next day) or the when-I-see-a-sale-I-like future. Thanks again!

    Updating my 2010 Build - SSD + General Storage + Video Card

    I know how tough that can make it to comment, so I appreciate it :) Speed was only half the issue, I've just personally had good luck with WD Blacks having both speed and long term use without failure. i5 then! Essentially I'd want another CPU that will last a few years, and still...

    Updating my 2010 Build - SSD + General Storage + Video Card

    I generally don't buy any new games, mostly cheap older AAA titles. I just bought ME3, which I'm playing on my Surface Pro, to give you an idea. I'd like to pick up AC3 probably in the next round of sales. That said, a CPU upgrade isn't out of the question either, which is why I wanted to...

    Updating my 2010 Build - SSD + General Storage + Video Card

    Building a new photo workhorse for my FIL

    Nah, he'd probably appreciate the cleaner case - right now leaning towards the Fractal Define R3, I like the noise reduction efforts, and he probably will too. I'll likely pull the trigger in a few hours, he should enjoy his new badass rig plenty :)

    Building a new photo workhorse for my FIL

    Good points - while I expect he will be upgrading his ram, I doubt it will be in the near future, 16gb is a big enough jump for him. Changed up the mobo as well, and playing with the case options... I have a 300, and I like it, but its also not jam-packed with things, so it feels spacious.

    Building a new photo workhorse for my FIL

    1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc Primarily photoshop, using extremely high resolution scans of large format negatives. 2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? Flexible, lets shoot for somewhere between $1,000 and $1,500. 3) Which...

    Decent capacity photo printer?

    Hey all, I'm building out a photo booth right now, and I'm looking around for a printer. I'd love to go dye-sub, but the less expensive models (under $1k) have a low sheet capacity - like the Selphy C800 (18 sheets). I don't need these photos to last 100 years, so I'm fine with inkjet :D...

    Just an update - I got everything in the next day, except for the ram and the DVD burner (which came in this morning). This sucker is QUIET, installing Win 7 right now :D

    Low-mid Gaming + Cad + Basic vid editing on the cheap

    So... I'll be going with this combo I think: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.473630 Gives me the 692 case, plus a 600W cooler master psu - for $120. Sounds like a done deal to me :D

    Oddly enough, it comes out cheaper with the 692 - good call, thanks!

    So my fiance's netbook's wireless took a dump, and I have to replace her mini-pci-e wifi card. Which means I'm going to be placing an order at newegg.... And while I can't buy everything right now, I figured I'd pick up a couple of sale items. I think I'm going to buy the case -...
