I caught a sale on newegg back in August, picked it up for $193 shipped. Now I think they are in the $220-250 range. Pedals included.

Here's my latest update (the Red Wings jersey was a Christmas gift). Dirt 3 with the G27 is too much fun! Merry Christmas everybody!

Lian Li BS-06 Thanks! Not completely finished yet. Got a couple more ideas up my sleeve.

Lian Li PC-A05NB: Went from this: To this: As anyone who owns this case knows, there is very little room and not much for cable management in this case. But I did my first cable mod job and it turned out alright.

and on further inspection, you are right. i think everything is good to go now. thanks guys!

what about +3v3 and +3v3s?

Just got done single-sleeving the 24-pin main power connector for my AX850 and I'm 95% sure I had every wire where it belongs, but I wanted to double check and found a wiring diagram here. Now, it looks to me like my cable has the pins #4 and #21 reversed according to the diagram. They are both...

Dang, 3-day weekend... "whatever shall I do?" :D:D

Modding the bracket for the new hard drive mount my little helper jumping in! Yes, I know the wires are a mess. Step two will be custom-length wires and some serious cable management/sleeving. Thinking of going with red sleeving, any thoughts?

If you are connecting HDMI to HDMI, it should just be plug in and go. What kind of graphics card are you using? I have two NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti's in SLi and I have two TVs as my monitors. All I did was plug them in via the Mini-HDMI outputs on each card with the Mini-HDMI>HDMI adapter and they...

I was feeling pretty good about my setup until I saw Frank. :eek::eek::eek: But here's mine anyways:

Well, I'm back from Afghanistan and it's time to build a new computer. Here's my first batch of parts, the stuff I ordered and shipped to my parents' house while I was gone. The motherboard and power supply are waiting at my place unfortunately, so I have about a week before I can actually...

I appreciate the heads-up, however I will be ordering through newegg more than likely, (no computer parts stores in Arkansas). I also have 2 USB 3.0 external hard drives and I ordered a SATA3 SSD for my boot drive. So far I have everything bought except the motherboard. Can't wait to get home!

Just wanted to say thanks again for all the input. After a little more deliberation and research, I think I've settled on a board: The UEFI-equipped ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3. It has everything I need (USB 3.0, SATA3, and an old-school PCI slot for my sound card that isn't covered up by a GPU)...

Wow, thank you for your reply! Better response than I'm used to getting, very informative and unbiased. Thank you. Nice to know about that HDD size restriction, I never knew about that before. I don't have any super-sized hard drives at the moment but it's good to know for the future. UEFI...

Building a new rig in about a month based on i5 2500K. Haven't decided on a mobo yet. It's been 3+ years since my last build and it seems things have changed A LOT since then. Now, I plan to overclock, would like at least 4.5 GHz stable; I will be using it for gaming, blu-ray movies, and some...

Sorry for the thread derailment. Looks like a cool idea though, good luck!

+1 Tim Horton's Iced Capp > Anything at Starbucks. And they have doughnuts. That and there is no Starbucks here in Afghanistan. Case Closed.

I think I've decided on the theme for this build. I'm going to call it "In the Crosshairs" to emphasize the ASUS Crosshair V motherboard at the heart of this little beast. Going to use one of these crosshair fan grills for the top blowhole and some creative window treatment involving actual...

Strange, the links should all be fixed now. It's a Phenom II X6 1100T. But it's likely to change when BD hits the shelves.

Hi everyone, hope it's ok to put this here. I wanted to post this as a place-holder for my build log I plan to do in a couple months and to share my plans for my new computer with you all and maybe get some expert advice before I drop too much money on this. I lost my main desktop computer a...

Got a question for you guys; Is it possible or advisable to change the tubing on the H70? I like the simplicity of the all-in-one design but I'd prefer to have clear tubing with red fluid.

Ugh, just started to do a little math and I'm thinking I may have an issue with fitting my graphics cards and PSU both in the bottom of the new revision (PC-A05FNB). I have the Corsair HX850 PSU (@ 7.09"L) and so far one of these EVGA GTX 560 Ti DS graphics cards (@9.0"L) with plans on getting a...

That's good to know about the temps. The fan in the top won't be an issue with the graphics cards in the new version, I'm more concerned with the length of the graphics cards interfering with the power supply in the bottom.

I'm thinking about getting this case in a couple of months (when I get back from Afghanistan.) I really like the no-compromise design of this case: (almost) small form-factor for easier portability than my current CM Stacker 830 with room for a full ATX mobo, and classy design to boot. I like...

Crosshair V has X-Fi audio vs Realtek on the Sabertooth also. And of course the ROG connect on the Crosshair V, which allows you to use a second computer (laptop, netbook, second desktop) to access the BIOS and do your overclocking, and save those settings on the second computer.

Meh, I'm definitely leaning more in the Crosshair V direction.

This will be the basis of my new build. Hopefully Bulldozer will be out by the time I'm back state-side this fall.

And so it begins! Can't freakin' wait for all these new mobo's to hit the market. Gonna be my first time buying new tech on day one, really hope BD doesn't disappoint.

I, too, am in the "wait for Bulldozer" camp. My PC bit the dust a few weeks ago and I was a mouse click away from pulling the trigger on a Crosshair IV, but something told me to hold off and sleep on it, and soon I found myself here reading about the awesomeness that will be AM3+. From what I've...

Awesome! Thanks for the info.

Don't know if I should post this in here or in the AMD Processor thread, if it needs to be moved I won't get butt-hurt. My question is: Does anyone know if the new AMD socket AM3+ cooler mount is going to be different enough that current-gen aftermarket coolers will not fit? Or is the pin...

It's a Jammin' SCRT10. Like a slash 4x4, but buggy-based. Haven't bought anything for my computer except the R.A.T. 9 in 2 years because I've been dropping everything on that thing. as for the mags: Loaded, Sports Illustrated, Maxim, RC Driver and Xtreme RC Cars.:cool:

Been awhile since I've put anything up here, so here is my current setup: This is my other money pit:

As do most people. I'm more interested in comments from people who have had problems similar to mine....

Yeah, that's pretty much how my problem is as well, but mine was doing it before I got the second monitor. The loud popping is what started once I hooked up my TV.

Umm, it goes to whatever is still attached.

So here is my setup: Creative X-Fi Titanium Pro, Logitech Z-2300 speakers, Turtle Beach 5.1 headset (splitters between them to output audio to both), XFX GTX 285, DFI LanParty P45-T2RS mobo, Samsung 206BW monitor, and here's the new addition: Samsung 640 series 32" LCD television connected via...

Oh My God. That room is stunning. I am envious. Good job sir.

Anybody? Anything? Am I SOL?
