My older Asus Rog Swift (one of the first ones out) died. I need to replace and am looking at the Alienware. NOT in a position to redo GPU hardware in current rig, so is a Dual GTX980 setup good enough to drive this monitor at the stated resolution?
As the time comes close, I will definitely be keeping a tab on Maxwell. If it does come to fruition, then I will definitely be on the lookout. The gains from the 780ti and the Titan don't justify their cost. For ME, the GTX780 still hits the sweet spot.
SOOOO
It's been a while. My last F@H WU was July of 2012. My gear was getting a little old and with the old job, things were a little tight fiscally so F@H had to be shut down.
Well, I am in a new job and that I love and pays a hell of a lot better. In Feb, I will be upgrading my sig rig to...
Mostly a FPS and RPG (Oblivion and the like). I would love all the eye candy available, but realize sacrifices have to be made.
Ideally, I would like to get a 1440p monitor this summer, but I will likely be taking my LG 24" 12x19 monitor with me to QuakeCon.
If driving a 1440p will require...
I am going with the Intel Core i5-3570k.
If I got with the Corsair Carbide Air 540, I'll have many MoBo opitons.
The CoolerMaster 130 only gives me the mITX as an option. The route that I go will depend partly on what my wife will consider sitting on her desk (which it will sit the majority of...
I'm keeping my options open. I will probably get the CPU at MC and go with a CM 130 Elite (mITX), but am considering staying with the Corsair Carbide Air 540 and WC'ing the rig. This thread has given my some inspiration. I'll do a two RAD version of his setup (don't want to have to mod to get...
After doing some reading, it doesn't look as if the Haswell can OC well. If I wanted to OC, would the Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core
serve me better?
Unfortunately, MicroCenter doesn't have a lot of offerings for the LGA1155 socket in mITX.
Definitely. I may build a little sooner than end of Jan. I'm recruiting my buddy to my firm and I get a $5k signing bonus for each and every hire that is paid 30 days after they start (have 5 other people in my recruiting pipeline and all have been shortlisted so may be a banging Jan / Feb)...
My wife's computer took a dump and I will be using the parts from it to build a NAS. She needs a new computer and I need a box that I can take to QuakeCon with me next year. In addition, this box will be used for ripping / converting our extensive DVD collection to be placed on the NAS for...
Thank you. I looked at that case. Obviously similar layout which is what I am looking for. I can't remember why I passed it before. Let me do some more reading on this.
Hmm. What about mounting 2x120mm fans on the outside (which we know works) and a 2x140mm RAD mounted on the inside? Will the 2x120mm fans provide enough air for the RAD?
For those that have the Cooler Master HAF XB EVO
I've seen people install 140mm fans on the inside, can you install 140mm fans on the outside of the case and a 2x140mm radiator on the inside? I know a Corsair H100i will fit nicely, I've seen pictures of it, but am curious if I can mount a...
My wife and I are having a house built (finally breaking ground next week after several months of waiting). It'll have a dedicated media room and game room.
I am COMPLETELY out of the loop with the latest and greatest technologies. Travel for work extensively and we have 21 month old twins...
Well, previous package sold and come to find out the MoBo was bad. It had been working perfectly, but for reasons unknown one memory slot is bad. Previous buyer has confirmed that CPU, RAM, & PSU were fine. Just the MoBo had issues.
Could really use the funds so I am going to make a nice...

edit: wouldn't ya know it, wiped out my message when I posted my badge
I know it has been a while since I have posted. The twins were born on 03/04/12. They spent 9 very long weeks in the NICU due to being a little premature and working through some minor health issues. They are home now...
