    Oh yeah, I found Corsair Carbide Series Black 300R Mid-Tower Computer Case for $60 on Amazon. That case looks like the one I should get.

    i5 PC Build Donation for Technology School

    Thank you so much for your very helpful feedback, J Macker! :) It'd be nice to have Intel HD 4000 graphics. Also the price difference between different i5's really isn't that much for the different clock rates (New Egg has them all around the $200 range). Would HD 2500 be a big step down...

    i5 PC Build Donation for Technology School

    My big concern with this build is the case. Ideally, I'd like one with USB 3.0 ports but I can't find a quality case with as nice of a price as the Antec Three Hundred I picked out. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc No gaming, some photoshop, web...

    Luxury Gaming System Build $2000 for Scientific Computing/Simulations

    Someone I talked suggested that I forgo the sound card for building my own DIY O2+ODAC amplifier and DAC. I have the tools and knowledge to do so, so I am just going to go ahead and build those components myself. The result will be far better sound quality for much cheaper (I'm fairly convinced...

    Yeah, I'm going to go with Fractal Design Define XL Black Pearl http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811352017 for the case, your motherboard looks more reasonable, and your RAM is also a good choice. Thanks!

    Luxury Gaming System Build $2000 for Scientific Computing/Simulations

    Good points. Because the vast majority of the calculations are performed on the GPU using CUDA. As for the CPU goes, I don't mind the occasional improbably-flipped bit in the single-precision velocity vector component for my real-time simulations. Caching won't bottleneck my work either, and the...

    Luxury Gaming System Build $2000 for Scientific Computing/Simulations

    I'm getting the impression from people that I've talked to that I can get nearly the same performance yet save quite a bit of dough. What components would be "almost as good" but less pricey?

    Recommend desktop PSU for three-GPU CUDA scientific computing server?

    Hello, I'm adding more GPUs to my desktop PC which will be crunching scientific computing calculations using CUDA and distributing the results over the network to researchers. It will be acting like a server in that it will be constantly running 24/7 often at full load. Reliability is the...

    GPU computing server box, check out the parts on New Egg

    My application is heavily multithreaded so I'm fine there... since I coded it myself I can make it as concurrent as I want.

    GPU computing server box, check out the parts on New Egg

    Good point, but I don't know if there is a cheaper board than the Biostar that doesn't have SLI. Also, I don't know enough about AMD to say. I've always been a fan of Intel, but if I can get a faster CPU from AMD for similar price, then I'll go for it. What CPU/board would be good from AMD?
