    Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX SE

    I'm 98% thrilled with the phanteks. I like the buttons, they feel plenty solid and "clicky". The lights on the front aren't blindingly bright like some cases I've had. Ease of removing stuff you don't want/need is very good. Cable management is plenty spacious for such a small build. Panels...

    No Mcs anywhere near unfortunately, I think even the nearest best buy is about 3 hours away. Ah nope, they must have stuck one in about an hour away while I wasn't looking. As for MC.... nearest is 131 miles. :eek:

    I've been pretty lucky with overclocks. My work i7 920 has been running @3.6 since 920s were a new thing. My home box had been running fine for years when it finally poofed... And i just looked at it for a minute or two before saying meh and switching to my laptop. Eventually I'll fix it...

    4670k vs 4770k for 1080p gaming

    I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my head wrapped around what I should be aiming for component wise for this theoretical build. With something around a 270x level of video card... what's the general consensus on the i5 vs the i7?

    Mini itx mild travel rig

    Hello all, I'm looking for some opinions on using a mini itx to drag to the occasional lan party. Wondering if anyone has had a chance to play with one of these. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157531 Not finding much in the way of reviews out there.

    21-25" monitor with decent viewing angles

    I'm looking for something to make the CEO happy with his second monitor. He keeps it off to the side in portrait. Don't need any gaming level resolution or anything. Just an HDMI input and some way to mount it to an adjustable arm. Thanks for any help.

    Budget -midrangeish build 7870 vs gtx 760

    Apologies. at the moment, I have none of the above :D My machine died. I'm looking at an 8320, corsair h650, 1080p. Games... not much at the moment. Minecraft has been my time waster lately. occasionally I will play a game or three of supreme commander or one of the CIV variants. I do a...

    So looking at the prices, does a 760 offer enough performance increase to justify 65-70$?

    Some general CPU advice needed

    I'm sure. The 6870 has been rock steady and pretty much done everything I've wanted of it for years now. This will be my first Nvidia card since my old Ti 200.

    My home box died. Eh, it was old anyway. x4blck. I'm not exactly rolling in money and I specced out a basic machine that I think will do fine performance wise for me. I do game, but I'm no longer in the more more more more gotta have more! category. Is the 8320 decent? games I've...

    Question for you folks on fitment

    My box died and I'm building a new one, do you any of you know if there will be an issue fitting a gtx760 into a raven rv02? My elderly 6870 is a pretty tight squeeze.

    Why do gamers feel like they need to be "rewarded" to play games with Achievements?

    Feed the rat when it gets through the maze. Next time it gets through faster. Eventually it will go through the maze with no trouble at all for no reward.

    are AMD's still good for gaming?

    I have a 975 or 980, can't even remember which, and I can attest that it does indeed play games. It's paired with a long in the tooth 5870, and a gigabyte ma770 ud3... something something. It doesn't fit with the exerything at max 60+fps crowd, but as my eyes are quite horrible, it's very...

    Tuner for PC with Suddenlink cable

    Hello all, I'm trying to dive into tuners and figure out what I need to get basic cable to the PC, and possibly squirt it out of a projector via the video card. Where I'm doing this has Suddenlink cable if that makes any difference. I don't know if I need something that works with...

    Dying X3, what to do, what to do.

    My x3 was actually really impressive in how it stood up. But that third core going sour and never dropping below 50% is it's death knell. When you disable that and it's suddenly back to two.... :eek:

    Dying X3, what to do, what to do.

    I went with a 970 @ 3.5 and a tube of nt-h1. Not sure I had enough left in my current tube. Or how long it had been hiding under that table. Right at 1ghz faster stock, and an extra core to boot. Heck with OC, I just want something that works without fiddling this time around. Should be...
