    Gauging interest in build-your-own case kits

    I must admit i'm not 100% sure about the layout, ideally I want smallest possible foot print for an ATX setup. If PSU & SSD went behind the mobo it would be a lot more flexible for at expense of slight size increase, i'm starting to think that maybe the PSU doesn't need to sit over the mobo as...

    Gauging interest in build-your-own case kits

    This is the kinda layout i've been thinking about. https://www.dropbox.com/sh/zakowqktqaeqqo2/jfbzLTG5YM Some might say why not just go mATX - well that has crossed my mind, but i've got an ATX case and this is why i'm thinking off this :D

    Gauging interest in build-your-own case kits

    Awesome, i'll look at finishing up my drawing plans then. Basic idea is to build something like http://static.techspot.com/articles-info/351/images/Image_44S.jpg but not increasing the size past the ATX spec with the PSU covering the expansion slots and using a riser cable to allow a single GPU...

    Gauging interest in build-your-own case kits

    I know you've moved on to building the mining cases (which are awesome btw!) but did you ever take these kits any further? I've got a little custom build idea and had stumbled on your mining stuff and was think these would be perfect and even better in this kit form. I want to create a small...

    Corsair Obsidian Series 250D Mini-ITX Case Review @ [H]

    I've got my eye on one of these, looks perfect for me as been wanting to go mITX for a while but struggle to find any cases that will fit my BeQuite! 850w and my Noctua-NH-D14, but this looks like it certainly will. I've not had Optical or 3.5" HDDs in my system for at least 5yrs now yet still...

    i2500k Memory Controller Failure?

    So was testing a returned mobo that I picked up cheap on eBay (Asus p8z77-v deluxe for £37!) and during testing I figured out that it was the first PCIe controller that was failing but then I started to get Q-CODE 55 errors (Memory not installed). I took everything out and attempted to boot...

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    Well I was an avid CRT user and took my trust 21" Trinitron to many lan events around the UK back in the day, but for me the fluidity turned out not to be as important as image quality. I know i've been spoiled with my Q270, but the improvements with lightboost (I certainly saw them) wasn't...

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    You can't compare it to the Q270, it just looks awful side-by-side. I'm currently using the 320.18 drivers and the colors just look washed out to me, sure it's nice and fluid but I don't see a huge difference least not in FPS games when focusing on the center of the screen. If I hadn't had the...

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    Bloody hard choice now, got the XL2720T running next to my Q270 and the color difference is a bigger problem than I thought it would be. Forgot just how spoilt i've been with the Q270 running at 120hz and atm, going to give it a week at least before sending the XL2720T back.

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    Well i've ended up going for the Benq XL2720T 27" so fingers crossed it will wow me enough that I don't regret sticking the Q270 up for sale :D

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    Ultimately fluidity is what matters for me as the monitor is on my gaming machine, but I do love the quality of the Q270 and know i'll miss it. Another reason for wanting to swap down to one of the lightboost monitors is for the lower native res, I want to push more FPS out of my setup while...

    Vega's Perfect Motion Clarity 2D Lightboost Titan Portrait Surround Gloss Build

    So Vega, would you say these are better than the Q270's? I've been toying with shifting my 2B Q270 and going for one of these Lightboost ones, although not sure which one currently swaying towards Benq XL2720T 27"
