This guy is completely wrong
Exhibit A:
Vesper App.. It's a simple note taking app but their 64-bit version of the app is SIGNFICANTLY snappier than the older 32-bit version of the app on the iphone 5S. Developers just need to learn how to code their apps to take advantage of 64-bit chips
I was in similar shoes.
Built my own computers for past 20+ years, was asked to buy 13 desktops for work. Automatically assumed I was gonna get ripped off when they suggest Dells
Ended up being surprised by incredibly cheap prices.
If you're getting basic work stations (without discrete...
I am very confused with the ITX mobo
The SATA headers seem to be in a terrible spot....
ITX builders already have a tough time finding space between the video card and the CPU heatsink
And now we have to thread our SATA cables through there as well?
Hey bastage,
I wouldn't be able to get a shot of the videocard area unless i remove the powersupply and stuff. (and it would be a pain in the butt) it pretty much looks just like every other photo of it on the net =)
keep us posted on your build when you get around to it!
i'm not sure if an extra 0.5" on a videocard would fit. If it did it would be extremely close because of the PCI-E power plug and how stiff the wires are on most power supplies
You might even have to plug in the PCI-e power before installing the card.
a couple things come to mind for people...
so i built my q11 with
- gigabyte H55N
- i5 750
- sapphire ati 6850
- Shuriken rev B.
- 1 vertex2 SSD & 1TB HDD
- Blueray drive.
- 500w silverstone strider
- stock fan in q11
The shuriken heatsink actually looks like it touches the underside heatsink pins on 6850. There's no...
I have a Silverstone SFX 450w PSU. It is a standard (non-modular) powersupply.
In an effort to make the innards of my mini-ITX cleaner, i cut off excess cables and used heatshrink to prevent shortages.
So I cut off 2 sets of wires:
1) the entire molex series. (Because I have no molex...
Hi Bastage,
Thanks for the response. A few people have actually gotten the XFX 5770 in the case with some mild modding. I haven't purchased a card yet though. I'll wait for the 6-series to get their shorties out before I pick on up
You mention two parts that don't work?
the i5 750...
Liane's Q11 looks awesome! Nice work.
Bastage, I know you built a Q07 rig a while ago, I really want to do the same with an i5-750 & xfx 5770. I wanted to use the Q07 simple because it is actually significantly smaller than a Q11. I know there are issues with airflow and short USB...
I own the wireless enermax acrylux and the razer mamba. (But I've only owned them for about 4 days)
It is the very first wireless setup I've ever used so I don't have anything else to compare it to.
The keys on the enermax have a pretty short travel, something I was not used to coming from...
I have a Sugo 02 - running an i5 on the gigabyte UD2 with a 4890
I'm running the stock i5 cooler but I'm not a big fan of it.
What other options are available?
I've been a long time lurker but I created an account just to give a name suggestion =)
What about "BlackBox" ? Like the flight recorders!
And if you're really looking for version numbers, just give something simple like:
BlackBox 1
Having words like power/precision/evolution may sound...
