Yah, it's been available on smartphones, PCs and tablets for a while now. The access via XBox, Roku and Samunsung TVs is new, though.

I went ahead and ordered the v8 from buy.com, but paid for shipping as I didn't want to wait 7-9 business days for it to arrive. I purchased all of the other parts from newegg. When everything arrives I may document the building process and post some pictures and after it is working i'll post...

I would like to purchase everything from one place if at all possible due to reduced shipping and combo deals. That processor does not appear to be available for purchase online.

Ok, so I ran into a small problem. I waited until this morning to order and when I checked my cart on newegg the Coolermaster v8 was removed due to it now being out of stock =( Since I only play on overclocking to around 3.2ghz, should I just stick with the stock fan or should I get a different...

Well I was going to get the g.skill based on recommendations to other builders in this forum. While looking it up I found the blue version with the faster timings and went with that. Now that I'm actually trying to cut money off the build I have no problem with the slower timing. Also, don't...

I have to be honest here and say that I only chose the ones with faster timing b/c I thought the blue sticks would look better on the blue board and I wanted the machine to look nice on the inside. I suppose I can go with the red to match the LEDs on the HSF, heh.

Okay so I've changed the PSU to the BFG Tech ES Series one, and switched video cards so I have the Case and the EVGA GTX 260 combo. Unless I can find another part or two to switch out at a great deal I'll probably be ordering this in the next couple of hours! So excited.

I had considered doing that case/card combo, but chose the individuals as the xfx card was the overclocked version. Is it a better idea to just get the combo and OC the EVGA card myself? It sounds like that would be easy enough to do from the articles I've read, but I would like to be sure.

I haven't built a new desktop since 2004. Right now I'm using a macbook pro and it just wont cut it any more for the games that I'm going to want to play. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc I will be primarily gaming, watching dvds and browsing the...

I would be using the Antec P182. I'm assuming there wouldn't be any issues since someone suggested the v8 with this type of case already, but I'd like to be extra-sure on this.

I am considering getting an almost identical build and I was wondering if you have any issues closing up the case with the coolermaster v8 on there. It is a pretty large HSF and I want to be sure i'm going to be able to put the side back onto the case. It also looks like you didn't mount the...
