    Convince me not to buy a Razer Blade R2

    So, I'm looking for a high-end laptop that I will use for day to day use as well as gaming. I do travel a lot, so size/weight is something to keep in mind. I've pretty much narrowed it down to the new Asus UX51 and the New Razer Blade. Please tell me why I shouldn't get the Blade right now. And...

    smaller GTX 570s

    Hey guys, I have a quick question. So I have a Lian Li Q11 (for those of you who aren't familiar it's a ITX case), and right now I'm running an EVGA GTX 570HD Superclocked inside it. It fits, which is good. The problem is, it's also REALLY LOUD. I guess EVGA just slapped on a 560 cooler onto...

    Switching to Bonic

    So with the recent drought in SMP Work Units for F@H, I'm thinking of switching to BONIC and helping our fellow members in that aspect. Can anyone let me know how well a s939 X2 4400+ @ 2.35Ghz will do running BONIC? Moreover, if it's worth it, can anyone help me through the setup? I didn't...

    13GPUs in 1 box?

    So, I remember a couple months back, someone here was thinking of making a 100k ppd GPU crunching box. Well, it was determined that motherboards today don't have enough OptionROM (if I'm not mistaken) to run more than 8 GPU cores. Well, it seems as though the researchers at the University of...

    3007WFP-HC and Xbox360

    So I know that the 3007 doesn't have an internal scaler, and if I were to hook up my 360 to my 3007 via HDMI to DVI converter, I'd see nothing but a blank screen. My question is does anyone know of a converter/scaler that will allow my 360 to output to my 3007? I was hoping for one of those...

    New PPD/Cost leader?

    So EVGA just released their new GTX 275 CO-OP card, that integrates a GTX 275 with a GTS 250. Now, I don't know if running both of these will result in the 275 having a lower output (much like it did when running any GT200 and a G92 card), but if it doesn't, you can almost expect this bad boy...

    replacing Shuttle G5 ICE

    8800 gts/gtx in SN21G5

Fitting the gtx may probably be an issue, but cooling it wouldn't, since you would just have to cut out the side of the case. As long as...
