    This mining craze has produced insane trades!

    I had an RX 480 4GB card in my VR machine until this past weekend when I sold it for $350 on ebay. That's nuts considering I only paid $130 after rebate from Newegg in December. I, in turn, picked up an EVGA 980 TI SC (with 1 1/2 yr warranty left) or $311. A bit higher than some have gone on...

    Sound card or external dac?

    I currently use the built in audio on the OEM Dell 1366 board I have. It was noticeably less in quality than the MSI z77 board I was using until that system moved to my living room for VR. I am really wanting to get back into more high end audio, so I have been looking at sound cards and...

    New GPU for Oculus - Any advice ?

    So, amid this ridiculous AMD gold rush, I sold my RX 480 4GB 6-month-old card for $350. I only paid $130 new for it after rebate from Newegg. Crazy! In turn, I purchased a 980 TI Superclock for 311 shipped. So, that's like getting a 980 TI SC for $130. :) It arrives tomorrow. Is there...

    Upgrade to x58 board or GPU?

    I have the board from a Dell T3500 with a W3670 I picked up for $40 off ebay a few months back and 8gb of ram. I've recently put it in my 4u rack mount server case and I've been thinking of investing a bit more into it to give a more longer (2-3 yr) system. I have an AMD 7850 1GB card fill-in...

    34" Ultrawide isn't THAT amazing...

    So I finally got a 34" ultrawide. I went for the one Newegg had that was refurbished and discounted through eBay. Just $239, but no freesync. Here are my thoughts. The resolution at 1080p is fine with me. Looks very clear compared to my 1080p 32" Samsung HDTV I was using. The ultrawide is...

    This is pretty fun!

    I wasn't sure where to post this, but go to O'Reilly Auto parts website and put in "121G" in the search. I've always wanted one of those!

    Ryzen 7 not as hot as it looks

    According to a report I found, "In the short term, users of the AMD Ryzen™ 1700X and 1800X can simply subtract 20°C to determine the true junction temperature of their processor." https://www.kotaku.com.au/2017/03/amds-ryzen-cpus-arent-running-as-hot-as-they-say-they-are/ Interesting...

    VR need more power or gaming on Ultrawide?

    Ok, so here is my situation. I jumped on a deal for an RX 480 4GB that was 145AR and came with Doom that I plan to sell for another 15-20$, meaning I got an RX 480 dirt cheap. It just so happened the Rift dropped $200 a day later. I ordered the RIft and LOVE IT, as do my kids. After doing...
