    So my wife wanted a mechanical keyboard...

    That looks a lot like some OEM version of those Corsair K series keyboards, at least as far as the shaping of the shell and wrist guard go. If that's what it is that's a hell of a good price.

    G.SKILL Flare X and FORTIS for Ryzen

    Is the 3200 set actually available anywhere yet? I can't find it, but all the slower speeds are up on Newegg. Or is there an equivalent set confirmed to work in the Asus Crosshair board?

    Ryzen Shipping Thread

    Local Microcenter is showing 10+ in stock of all three processors, but has a terrible selection of motherboards. I want my two m.2 slots so the two Asus X370 boards they have listed are both out. Ugh. Maybe they have others and I'm just not finding them, I dunno. Maybe they'll just go out of...

    Buying Ryzen? Share w/ us your upcoming build!

    I saw this but I'm not sure I have the patience to wait for them to get a bracket out. They said middle of the month or something. I'll be two weeks into staring at the rest of the hardware by that time. As much as I hate Corsair Link as a software package they might just get me anyway since...

    AMD Ryzen preorders begin today (AMD press release)

    I put in an order for an 1800X and 32GB of DDR4 but was fairly disappointed in the motherboard selection. The ones that had all the features I wanted were Asrocks that just showed auto-notify buttons from minute one. The MSI Titanium board would work but man, that price.

    AMD Ryzen preorders begin today (AMD press release)

    I was going to wait for things to settle but I think I'm in for an 1800X preorder if I can actually get one. Will be on shitty wifi here at work trying to do it though so maybe not, depending on how long preorders stay available.

    Origami-Inspired Shield Absorbs Handgun Bullets

    Definitely a cool idea. Wasn't overly impressed until it said it stopped a .44. That's a powerful bullet at the ranges they were testing. Though I couldn't help but note they were firing out of a snubby little barrel instead of something with a 6 or 7 inch that would give it a little more...

    Republic of Gamers Announces Strix GL553VW

    Yeah releasing a new gaming laptop with a non-pascal graphics chip in it at this point means it's just not even going to get considered at least by me. There's going to be super thin and light stuff with 1060's all over the place.

    I just want a tempered glass sidepanel for the Air 540 I already have.

    Why do stores say "Add to cart" to see price?

    Yeah, it's a weird distinction, but it's forced on them by manufacturers not allowing advertised or publicly visible prices below a certain point.

    Dell Acknowledges Security Hole In New Laptops

    I thought I'd killed most of their stuff when I did a fresh install of windows 10, but apparently some of it is linked to some things like the control software for the system's LED garbage which I need to install because I don't want the lid of my laptop glowing while I'm using it, and it also...

    Dell Acknowledges Security Hole In New Laptops

    So they say it's only on PC's from August on but my Alienware 13 I ordered way back in like March and have been using for the better part of 7 months of the year still has that stupid eDellroot key and is vulnerable. The August time they give is BS.

    Sometimes you really do get what you pay for. Maybe more...

    I'd consider doing a recase into an Enthoo Pro M if it ever actually becomes available. But yeah. Otherwise things have slowed down enough that there isn't that much gain to be had from big regular upgrades. In the meantime, my Air 540 is fine.

    :rolleyes: There's roughly 9800 mice based on the 9800 and they all have the same stupid issues.

    Video Game Synched To Home Lighting from Philips

    I actually set up one of the Lightberry kits on my on TV setup quite awhile ago now. It just put it between the receiver and the TV. So far it's worked with everything I've run into the receiver. FireTV, Chromecast, Xbox 360 and One, PS3, a blu ray player, and the long HDMI out I ran from my...

    Phanteks Announces The Enthoo PRO M

    This thing looks kinda amazing for the money. I don't think I've bought a sub $100 case in like 8 years, but this one could get me for my next build if it shows up in time.

    Is the Logitech G502 better than the G9?

    I also ditched my 502 (great sensor, just not ergonomically a fit for me) for a G303 and have not looked back.

    The craziest audio impulse buy you went through with?

    I bought an Asgard 2 initially after much research. Then a month later, completely unplanned, just up and ordered a Bifrost Uber. Like probably 1 whole minute from "I know, I'll get a DAC" to order submitted. :o

    Looking for a DAC/Amp combo (could be separate like Schiit)

    Amps with a 3.5mm pre-amp out are going to be few and far between. Most common solution would be an RCA splitter or switch box to run the RCA pre-amp outs on most amps to both the Speakers and then also use a stereo RCA>3.5 mm cable to run o the wireless headphone base.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    Yup. Microcenter all the way. As many reports as there are of problems with this one I may take my laptop and a power inverter and just test it right there in their parking lot.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I'll wait until I can pick one up from Microcenter like I did with the Swift. At least then if I get it home and it's busted in some way I can just take it back or exchange it.

    Official Acer [XB270HU] 27" 1440p 144Hz G-Sync IPS ULMB Monitor Thread

    I use a Swift as my main monitor on my home PC and would still agree that a glossy screen and light controlled room is better. My first 120hz monitor was the old Asus VG236HE and was glossy. It was great. It's just too small. Regarding the Acer that is the actual subject of the thread, man, I...

    Comcast Expects Time Warner Cable Deal To Close In Early 2015

    I'm currently getting bent over for 20/2 and almost definitely getting throttled after 300gb, which sounds like a lot until you use Netflix to watch a whole season of a TV show and download a couple big games on Steam and realize most of it is gone. Also my internet is a useless mess every...

    Comcast Expects Time Warner Cable Deal To Close In Early 2015

    Wait, so as a result of this deal I end up with Charter? I know nothing about Charter. Are they just Comcast part deux? What am I in for? Did I luck out or are things going to get even worse than they are now with TWC? What a mess.

    HyperX Cloud or Astro A40 for sound quality?

    The A40 does not have "the best sound quality" in any way shape or form. They're about as anemic as it gets on bass. The midrange and highs are clear and you get a solid enough soundstage that you can hear directional cues well, but they sound kind of... empty. Hollow. They don't sound bad, they...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    It seems to identify correctly. It's listed as "ROG PG278Q" in the display list. I've tried disabling my other monitor and then repeating all other steps too. Hence reaching the "I give up" part.

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Negative. The whole problem is that I want to turn on ULMB and can't because it's greyed out. Directions to getting it working keep leading me to "Disable GSync" Which I can't seem to do because there is no GSync tab. I've uninstalled the video drivers, run driver cleaner type stuff...

    ASUS Announces ROG SWIFT PG278Q Premium Gaming Monitor

    Maybe somebody can help me out here. The Turbo button never does anything. It just pops up a box showing me the refresh rate I'm already running at. Super helpful! I know, the screen has to be moving in some way. I can put on a video or flail the mouse around all I want,Turbo button still does...

    Bassy, warm headphones and amp recommendation

    I cannot imagine wanting these things but if you want bass... The XB series is just ear drum ruining bass and recessed everything else. Bad for your future hearing in huge ways, but... if that's what you want.

    Logitech G502 vs. G602

    The G502 is a great mouse. The sensor is amazing, build quality is great, etc. The one and only issue it has is that it's just... heavy. I like my gaming mouse to be fairly light weight. But if you don't mind the weight and the shape works for you it is absolutely the best mouse out there from...

    What was your 1st 3D video card ?

    Auralex MoPADs or ISOAcoustics stands

    I have a set of ISOAcoustics stands, mostly because they were the first thing that came up when I searched Amazon when I was looking and I had a bunch of points so I got them almost free. They do a great job though, and I like the way they seem to open up my desk. It's an illusion of course...

    I gave up on dealing with stuff from Creative or anybody else. I just have a bunch of stuff from Schiit now and haven't looked back. It's been gloriously simple and the setup sounds awesome. PC specific audio gear, especially the stuff targeted toward gamers, just doesn't have anything to offer...

    Just a quick poll - Do you game Windowed or full screen?

    I do full screen. I have a second monitor so anything else I want up just stays on that. Plus.like others I'm running a PG278Q so... Gsync.

    Speaker and Headphone Rigs Picture Thread

    Loving all the Schiit gear. I also have the Bifrost (even went with the Uber, because I don't know why not) and Asgard 2. Supremely jealous of your 400i's. I haven't been able to justify the price on the new HiFiMan cans, which burns because they look so much more refined than the old ones. But...
