    A bit of info on the SP4 not having thunderbolt or any kind of pci-e out (well, the SB 99% has, in the base-to-tablet connector, but yeah): https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn632176.aspx https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn632182.aspx Relevant: In both cases, the idea is...

    Your Laptop Picture [H]ere (read first post for rules please)

    Always wanted one of these... 8740w with the DC2 panel. ...wish HP/Dell/etc'd stayed away from the MBP-style designs with the recent generations... + full-size keyboards, 16;10 screens, you name it.

    HP 8740w - Shutting down on battery (with 3 batteries) mostly on heavy load

    Hello, First, specs: HP 8740w Quad-core motherboard (whatever the difference is, can't find anything on pics besides model number) i7-820QM 4x4GB DDR3-1333 (tested with 2x2GB, 2x4GB, different slots, etc, as this laptop used to have a problem with 4DIMMs back in the days apparently, doesn't...

    Since the volume is quite small anyways, I guess it'll mostly depend on whether you'd like a square or a bar :) Didn't really expect the width to be that much.. Is the video card you're using particularly thick or something?

    A 4670k will limit any decent gpu.....?! I trust you meant the opposite :)

    Build advice SFF/HTPC/Gaming rig

    I guess you could go cheaper with a z77 board/CPU, because since you'll be clocking the performane difference shoud basically disappear from the K-series chips (ivy tends to clock better, mostly due to a lack of on-die VRM I think). You'll be losing the upgrade path to broadwell, if you ever...

    m-ITX build, gaming, carry-on

    Thanks for the heads-up :) Putting the build on hold for a week or two, as the new semester just kicked in and I want to power through the material (yup, not the lectures guy).

    m-ITX build, gaming, carry-on

    Preliminary budget and parts list: Motherboard - Z77E-ITX 115eur CPU - i5 3570 155eur Cooler - Noctua l9i - ~50eur RAM - Anything will do for a start (planning on putting 16g in the end), my home PC has 2x4GB so I can just get one of the sticks and use it until some nice deal on a 2x16GB drops...

    m-ITX build, gaming, carry-on

    Thanks for pointing these out! I don't think I'll be going down that route (due to reasons mentioned below), but it'd be nice to put a sticky in the SFF section of the forum with links to all sorts of SFF components that are not an obvious find :) About the undervolting - I have, I've...

    Things are starting to get tricky with the PSU... The DC-DC converter plus AC-DC brick route seems to be quite a bit more expensive than the SFX/Flex ATX power supplies (Andromeda x51 dc-dc board + dell's XM3C3 brick will cost me at least something like 200$ alone by the looks of it), while not...

    Neutronium (Version 4) buildlog

    Try adding some kind of exhaust fans to the PSU cutout and to the front side of the VGA, I guess. Still, the CPU temps look really good for that setup... mostly the GPU and the PSU I'm worried about :D The X51 supports a 4770 + a GTX670, but I have no ideas about the O/C part, and by the looks...

    m-ITX build, gaming, carry-on

    I just saw a thread on chiphell of a build that uses the noctua l9i cooler without any dremeling, with the Z87E-ITX - a very nice board (in terms of audio quality, features, overall performance, etc). I guess it will be a z87 after all, since I can't find too much in-depth info on other...

    With blender it's always like that, however I can use my current desktop remotely as a render farm if I need to. As for using an i3 instead then - 2 more cores are a bigger improvement than 4 more threads, and games are already using 4 cores in some cases :)

    About the M350 case - exactly what I was looking at first :) My idea was to cut a hole in that case for a riser cable and 2x6-pin pci-e power cables, to provide easy installation for an external GPU, if needed, which kind of means that It'll be nice to have an external GPU enclosure, and since...
