I paid $215 CDN. I'm quite happy with it so far. I don't game much and the 2 games I've tried (Train Sim 2016) and TF2 both at 4K resolution, max details but no AA work just fine. Power draw for the system with the new videocard is 330 under max gpu and cpu load.

Ended up going with a Zotac GTX 950 Amp! I got for a good deal on black Friday. No psu upgrade for now.

Just did some stress testing and measured some power consumption. CPU+GPU Under Furmark = 153W Since my PSU puts out 350W on the 12V rail, in theory I have about 190W of room. Probably still going to look at a PSU upgrade

Still haven't decided yet, CPU upgrade is out as I don't want to take apart the system. The PSU is Seasonic SS-400HT. Obviously its getting a little bit older and does NOT have PCI-E connectors. I like the idea of going with a GTX 970, I might just end up getting a slightly better power supply.

5 Years ago I built a computer around an OC'd i5 660, ended up giving it to my parents, they no longer need it (moving to a Surface Book) so I've got this computer back. Looking to possible repurpose it to a HTPC/Light Gaming. Specs i5 660 @ 4.5ghz Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD2 Corsair H70 8GB...

I have the HP 3005 Dock(More than just video) with the Displaylink DL3900. It Only supports 1x 2560x1600@60hz and 1x1920x1200@60hz The startech one is a standalone adaptor that you would have use multiple ones to get the desired output you want. I have used my dock with an original...

Not much of a setup, but my Asus AIW with 2X PB278's on each side

I think this is being blown way out of proportion. But you are right if you don't have built in WIFI or hotspot access in the vehicle, nothing to worry about. With unlimited data plans and the ability to stream audio via phone to the vehicles stereo, not sure why anyone would pay for...

That's not a totally accurate test as an i5 4210u can turbo up to 2.7ghz single core and 2.4ghz dual core

During my somewhat normal 8 hour work day, my Samsung Gear 2 lasts about 2.5 days, when i'm home I just leave it sit unplugged. So in reality is unplugged for 2.5 days before it needs a recharge.

Not a small laptop but my Asus G75 with gtx660m could run 4 displays. I ran 2 1440p monitors via hdmi and display port plus the internal screen. Still had the vga output to use if needed. I like the idea of having a screen or screens clipped to the side but haven't seen anything like...

The Rig in my sig is now a year old but still decently powerful, the GPU isn't anything to write home about, basically a HD7770 http://www.asus.com/ca-en/AllinOne_PCs/ET2702IGTH/ I paid 1800 (CDN $) last Sept, I still think it's one of the better AIW's I upgraded to an SSD and put in...

I have an HP 3005 usb 3.0 docking station it has display port and hdmi can run 2560x1600 via both outputs. Has worked flawlessly for me. You won't notice much lag at all if you have a fast cpu used with a i7 4500u it wasn't too bad. Dropping the resolution helps. Tried it out on my i7...

That is correct however I'm running 2 monitors off the 2 thunderbolt ports via display port at 2560x1440 without issues. I know I don't have thunderbolt 2 but thunderbolt has the same connection as mini display port.
