    How can I get my HD 7950 fitted? Dremel mod vs. HAF 912

    That's a good recommendation. However, I saw the Bitfenx shinobi on sale for $40 so I went with that.

    How can I get my HD 7950 fitted? Dremel mod vs. HAF 912

    I got a card that official specs say is 10.83" long and my measurements show 11" (without the extension of the metal plate). I was stupid enough to not check the dims before I ordered it. I have an Antec Solo currently and I can't fit it because the metal 3.5" bay is blocking it. I want to make...

    HD6870/1GB enough to play Bioshock Infinite on 3x1080 monitors?

    thanks for these stats. i wonder what the tradeoff is between more pixels (1 monitor vs. 3) and the quality of the presets in terms of in terms of user experience (until i get my new card): 3 monitors on low, or 1 monitor on high. it seems i underestimated the effect of resolution on...

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    I ended up going for the Samsung Series 5 NP530U4C-A01US. It even has a DVD burner (at a cost of .1 inches more thickness and .7 lbs more weight). The problem is that it comes with a HDD as the main drive (750 GB) with 24GB for caching or for the OS (don't know yet). I wonder if I'll be able to...

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    I missed that; you're right about that. Looks like they force you to buy their mSATA drive (brand unknown) and they use it as a caching drive. So, when I start the recovery process, it will set it up in a fashion where the OS is installed on the HDD and the mSATA drive is used for caching I...

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    I was ready to go for the Samsung until i read this. I use legacy software quite a bit, and it would really be frustrating if some menus becomes unusable. It looks like I have to look for a 768x now (which shouldn't be too hard). I'll consider the X230, but it's going to be a pain to buy another...

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    Thanks for the suggestion (Toshiba is the most reliable notebook vendor), but I don't want Win 8 b/c I don't like Metro interface.

    I can't wait anymore. I need a notebook for school immediately. Which ultraportable do you recommend that's similar?

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    If the X230 doesnt use ULV, doesnt that mean that the battery drains faster? Also, is there a DPI issue with x900 in the Samsung?

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    Thanks for this post, as it makes me more confident in my plan to purchase the Samsung and because I wasn't aware of those graphics issues. Do those DPI scaling issues also occur with the 900 resolution? The X230 is in the same price class and only has 768 vertical pixels. Furthermore, "more...

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    Yes, but then I don't have a recovery partition anymore and a easy way to put it back to factory settings, should I want to resell the item. Furthermore, I void the warranty.

    Would you sacrifice SSD reliability for full HD+10%better performanc on an ultrabook?

    I narrowed it down to two ultrabooks. It pretty much boils down to this (everything else seems to be equal): Samsung NP900X3C-A01US + Most reliable (and extremely fast) SSD on the market today instead of ADATA/Sandisk (Samsung build quality also appears to be slightly better than Asus) + .5...
