    New to RAIDs and managing an Adobe personal/workstation build

    Currently I am reviewing my personal/workstation build. Last year I built an Ivy Bridge system (rig in my sig: for reference - my motherboard). I did what I could with the money I had, while setting a one year plan for my end build. I've enjoyed the performance so far, especially for working...

    Any news on the HTC One 64gb exclusive rights?

    I've been waiting for these exclusive rights to change. I know some ppl want this phone on a different carrier or simply to purchase AT&T 64gb version from somewhere else like Best Buy (I'm in the latter category). Any word on when this will happen? Maybe someone who is familiar with the...

    Today only!! Corsair 500r White Case @ Newegg $69.99 (after rebate)

    I ordered a bunch of stuff from them 2 weeks ago and used their standard free egg saver shipping.

    most dust proof case?

    I had similar issues with my last build using the original Antec 300 case and air cooling. I live in a house that has zero insulation, 52 single pane windows and I'm surrounded by dirt fields. Yeah so... that was a biiiig mistake to go with such a drafty setup. Hopefully I wised up this time...

    Today only!! Corsair 500r White Case @ Newegg $69.99 (after rebate)

    Omg, it's even better in person! I didn't need to replace my Antec 300 per say, but the zero cable management and usb 3.0 was driving me crazy. I also live in a dust bowl so the added filters was a major plus. That's not even mentioning all the other little goodies it flaunts. I think I'm in...

    Btw, I'd like to de-lurk for a moment and say thanks for the review and all your many years of awesomeness! I always regard the [H]staff opinions in high esteem. :D Also to note, this motherboard has been ordered, shipped, and arriving tomorrow. I'm stoked! I placed the order well before your...

    Today only!! Corsair 500r White Case @ Newegg $69.99 (after rebate)

    It'd be nice if the deal came from somewhere else, but it's hard to ignore if your in the market for a new case. You wont find this on any e-blast. I only knew about it because of an auto price alert. $129.99 - $35 (promo code) - $25 (rebate) + free shipping = $69.99... link.

    Gigabyte Z77X-UP5-TH LGA 1155 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Hmm, not to step on any toes, but curiosity lead me to find GSATA and the eSATA plug being controlled by the Marvell 88SE9172 (supporting RAID 0 and RAID 1 configs). As for the slider, it allows you to switch between the 2 BIOS chips (main and backup).

    Intel i7-3770k $249.99 @ Best Buy (price matched)

    I thought the same, but when my friendly BB rep called last week they told her the $249 price was for online orders and $229 for in-store.

    i7 4770k - $279.99, Combo Deal @ Microcenter

    As mentioned in my post, it's possible to price match with a Best Buy that is in your area. It's free to try ;) ...on other forums, there's been great success. Btw, BB will price match with these online retailers: Amazon.com, Apple.com, Bhphotovideo.com, Buy.com, Crutchfield.com, Dell.com...

    Intel i7-3770k $249.99 @ Best Buy (price matched)

    I tried this trick: Credit goes to Godsend. I think it all depends on who you talk to. The lady I dealt with was afraid of her boss reviewing this and getting burned (I think she was new to the game). If it works for you, you'll get the processor for $229.99. At any rate, Best Buy price...

    Stay with old(ish) PCP&C psu or something new?

    Will do. Thanks for the advice. I know a thing or two in making good psu purchases, but I haven't tested or done much with circuits, caps, and all that. I'm willing to give it the college try tho, and possibly learn something. I'll check around for some tutorials and knowledge base so I don't...

    Stay with old(ish) PCP&C psu or something new?

    I'm overdue for an upgraded gfx editing rig and atm I'm seeing what I should/could salvage from my old system. There's about a 6 year gap in psu tech between my old PC Power & Cooling Silencer 750 EPS12V and all the new goodies out there. I haven't noticed any issues with my old psu, so is an...

    Budget display for a printing company

    I'm currently building a workstation for a framing/matting company that wants to expand into printing. Easy enough, but I'm a little stuck on the display I should buddy up with their HP large format printer. My graphic designer heart wants to go with the obvious choice of an IPS display, but I...

    Samsung intros IPS competitor: PLS

    I love reading stuff like this cuz it reminds me how easy it is to design a game for someone that wants flashy graphics and some justification for all the money they spend on new gear. if u haven't taken a gaming history class, u should. u'll discover how much b.s. is actually created these days...

    trying to decide on ram with my 680i build

    exactly as stated in the headline, i need some ram. what i'm wondering about is how effective it is to get ram that goes higher then 800mhz, which of course, is the highest any motherboard states in supporting. i'm assuming it's so that u can OC more, but as i've seen on here, most just get the...

    Any opinions on the Vigor Force case???

    I just stumbled upon this case at newegg and it seems at least interesting (in a good way). Whether it's new or not, idk, but I can't find much info anywhere on the net. Care to comment? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?item=N82E16811701005 Manufacture Link

    Computer graphics student in need of an upgrade

    hmm.... well i am trying to stretch my dollar. and actually, i completely forgot to add that a graphics card into the equation, so i know i can't get the top of the line processor. in regards to the price per performance ratio, does intel rule the whole dual core market right now, at all levels?

    Computer graphics student in need of an upgrade

    help! graphics student on a budget

    well it's finally time to upgrade my computer for college, seeing as how a 1.35ghz amd, 512mb ram, and a dieing 7 yr old crt isn't going to cut it for an applied computer graphics student. after doing some number crunching, i should have around $500 to spend on a display... which may be enough...

    can i change a 4.1 digital system (x2) to a surround sound setup??

    how would i do this?... since i have to output the signal as digital in my settings and run it through the spdif mini plug terminal on my audigy platinum card to my sub (which normally, all the speakers plug into). also, the speakers have rca ends and require some sort of power, which would...
