    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    I agree. AMD had the opportunity to learn from nvidia's disaster of a launch but instead they just forged ahead, doing the exact same thing. For example, if they still wanted to launch, they could have created a lottery or preorder system. Apple's preorder works fairly well - why doesn't AMD...

    What happened to AMD's 'Big Supply'?

    I agree - AMD launch was a disaster. I thought there would be a flood of 6800xt's that would land on the market and wouldn't sell out in less than a minute but that didn't happen. After having a Vega 56 and a Radeon VII, ended up with a 3080 as I was able to walk into a Microcenter and buy...

    X51 PSU arrived

    Do you even need a fan? I am gussing the design constraints of the x51 require direct cooling. My Antec ISK case has great airflow going right over my PSU so I have excellent PSU temps. I know a big downfall of some of these smaller PSUs is that they have no 12V filter. The X51 version...

    Haswell Z87 SFF motherboard list

    Any idea what the model is called? I like intel ITX boards - they tend to have the best idle power consumption features.

    Sprint really this slow in the Bay Area?

    Nothing is guaranteed by anyone - look at Verizon getting rid of grandfathered data if you want a new device subsidy. All we can do is take advantage of all the information that's available and make the best decision for our particular needs. Not everyone needs unlimited data, not everyone...

    I hate to burst your bubble but they won't remove the charge :( Just remember, every tower they upgrade they are going from a few T-1's that are extremely overloaded to fiber or microwave backhaul.

    Again, you should visit S4GRU.com You are saying a bunch of inaccurate things. Round 1 markets, depending on the size, are starting to really pickup the pace right now. They are still on schedule to launch their first markets in the middle of 2012. Larger markets that they are currently...

    You need to visit s4gru.com 30mbit LTE, unlimited data, completely new network being built from the ground up. Old sprint will be gone in no time. Gone are the days of T-1's and horrible data speeds once network vision rolls out.

    Help picking 24 or 27" IPS Display for xbox 360/PC use

    Thanks for the very helpful advice. So at 285.92 for the U2412M vs. 426.32 for the ZR2440w it seems like it's a no brainer to go with the U2412M? No? So the U2412M at 285.92

    Help picking 24 or 27" IPS Display for xbox 360/PC use

    The ZR2440W obviously has to scale and can't do 1:1 - how much lag would be introduced? With the U2412M with the xbox set to 1680x1050, that seems like a pretty good solution. I was looking at the 2312hm also, that seems like a fairly promising route as well. So now I am looking at the...

    Help picking 24 or 27" IPS Display for xbox 360/PC use

    Thanks for the heads up. With the scaler, how much lag will be introduced? I am looking at the Samsung PLS and the HP ZR2440W/ZR2740W Tough picking between the two. The HP ZR2440W seems relatively well priced at ~425.

    New HTPC build

    I would go intel itx (intel H67 ITX board) for power/performance/cost ratio. Why are you going AMD? It uses much more power.

    WOW! Love the Ceton Card!

    My ceton (using comcast) is awesome. I think a lot of those time warner issues have been resolved. I would give it a try - usually Ceton is VERY good about customer support if you are having any problems.

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    I am still extremely pleased with the case. I plan to upgrade to a DH67CF + 2100T combo shortly. It's hard to find such a low profile/inexpensive/thermally fantastic case for my needs - for what use it for (HTPC) it's just about perfect.

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    Good test of the PSU right there... nothing great, but nothing bad either. Just your run of the mill standard power supply. http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/article/Antec-ISK300-150-Case-Review/934/6 It's a great upgrade. Filtered 12V is really a nice bonus.

    Asus P8P67-I Sandy Bridge Mini ITX

    I can't wait for the intel reference sandy bridge board. The H57 ITX board intel makes is great with power efficiency. Maybe with sandy bridge we will see sub-15W idle systems. That would be nice :) My i3/H57 idles around 25W, so my fingers are crossed.

    Fanless PSU?

    As others have said, the x-series is the way to go. Either X-series fanless, or a regular X-series which the fan isn't even on 90%+ of the time

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    small update- Upgraded to Electrodacus' 130W DC/DC PSU which filters the 12V rail (antec ISK PSU and picoPSU does not :(). I don't want anything getting in the way of my stability :)

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    I stopped using the dynamic voltage adjustment and just switched to manually setting. Speedstep/dynamic VID doesn't seem to save ANY power and just seems to cause stability issues. Try setting voltage to .95 and see how fast you can go :) I topped out at 2.4GHz.

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    Yeah, that's good advice. With stock settings, I can actually fire up prime95 and pull 81W from the wall. I think I'll end up tuning the system to pull a max of ~75W. That gives me that margin of safety. I know 99% of the time it won't go over ~45W, but the system is way overkill as it is...

    ANTEC ISK 300-65 EC ITX

    Yup, undervolting definitely works. I still have more tweaking to do, we'll see how it goes.
