    Can't use all 4 RAM slot on Gigabyete Z97MX-Gaming 5 mobo?

    I did check the socket but couldn't seem to find a bent pin. Although if that is the issue that should mean some of the ram slot will not read anything right? The issue I have is different set of ram can be read in all the slots just not at the same time. The cooler is a older thermalright mux...

    Small Air Compressor or Electric Duster

    I have used both compressors (+moisture trap, 3 gallon tank) and the metro Datavac. For dusting purposes I prefer the datavac, the compressor's tank reserve is used up too quickly if you are upping the psi level and I get tired of lugging the compressor around. While the datavac gets hot, it is...

    Looking for a windowed, good air flow, dust-filtered case

    Would recommend to stay away from antec 900, outdated design and a dust magnet. Corsair 600T SE has window and filters (easy to remove as well), but a bit pricy. Cheaper options BitFenix Shinobi windowed version Black White Corsair 400r

    Cooler Master Storm Enforcer Gaming Case

    The door can be removed apparently I would get this case if only my local microcenter get it in stock so I can use my 20% off coupon. I may be forced to go the HAF 912 if it doesn't come in before the coupon expires. I like that it has a clear side panel and internal usb 3.0 headers, if only...

    I love AMD and their processors because they offer competition to Intel and Nvidia on the CPU and GPU front, plus the 2500+ Barton will always have a special place in my mind.

    900 series chipset mATX board

    I guess all the companies are waiting for the actual release of BD before they do matx 990 boards. For now it seems they are content to just rehash the current 880 board with new socket. I've been wanting to do a matx AMD build too

    Antec Nine Hundred ATX Mid-tower case $59.99 AC/AR and FS

    While the 900 was the top of budget cases 2~3 years ago, and still is a good case for airflow. Its cable management is lacking, and no filters means it get dusty quick, I speak from experience here. I mean cases like CM HAF 912 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233...

    Do I have an addiction? (Thinkpad porn inside)

    I always thought the Z series' round look was a nice change of pace from the standard Thinkpad, and is a better widesreen design compared to the T61 widescreens (that weird offset to the right screen). Been hunting for a titanium lid Z61t for a while.

    Army Fails to Correctly Test Combat Body Armor

    I think Incerceptor's issue was more of complaints about the Carrier's weight distribution, not the armor itself; and has been fixed with newer armor carriers like IOTV for the Army and MTV for the Marines. Dragonskin also received the criticism of being too heavy. There was a lot of hype...

    To optical drive or not to optical drive. How about you?

    I threw one in for my last build and have one for the HTPC. It's still useful on occasions. However I now have a few extra thinkpad ultrabay devices that I just put into enclosures and make USB drives, so I won't be adding an internal one for the next build.
