    The deal was posted late here. The promotion ended Aug 31 at midnight PST.

    FS: 2x ASUS R9 290X Matrix Platinum

    Would this fit in an Ncase M1? I'd be interested but I don't think it fits.

    i7-i5 worth oc'ing?

    If you want to do 144Hz with online gaming, you will likely need the fastest CPU you can get. For example, in Battlefield 3 online, there are many instances where you will not reach 120 FPS even with a 3930K overclocked. My i7-4770K at 4.5 GHz still struggles to maintain 100 FPS in 64 player...

    NCASE M1: a crowdfunded Mini-ITX case (updates in first post)

    So I contributed to the production campaign, but what does that mean if I also contributed to the early shipment list? Are they even cross-referencing the lists?

    New New video card How much better will it be with 4GB of ram

    I've used the reference 670 cooler, it's alright (not as loud as some previous gen fans). If you're going single card at 1080p, just find a 2GB card. 4GB is useful if you're going to SLI them for larger resolutions.

    gtx 460 to 7790, 7850?

    If he has both the 7790 and the 7850, pick the one with 2GB of VRAM. If they're both the same amount of VRAM, pick the 7850.

    Crossfire or single gpu

    Either a 7970 or a 770 would be good choices right now. 760 or 7950 if you want to bleed less money. I would avoid Crossfire... it still has a lot of quirks, not to mention the microstutter if your frame-rates drop far below v-sync level. Basically with Crossfire, you have to maintain high...

    getting into bitcoining?

    I have an issue with litecoining. I just started yesterday, using wemineltc, and the website has been reporting around 170 KH/s hashrate for the last 8 hours or so. I've only managed to make around .01 LTC per hour... seems very low. My batch script has cgminer.exe --scrypt --gpu-threads 2...
