With the Gigabyte 1070 for $399 from Newegg and Amazon, I decided to order from Jet with the SHOP10 coupon. Would have been $380 after tax (NJ). But the order was canceled (It did show out of stock on newegg after the cancelation). Although it was in stock at the time of order. I wonder if they...
Mine was by HPP Enterprises as well. That is one of the things with ordering from Newegg and Buydig, I don't mind paying tax, since with free shipping I usually have the item a day later. Here, I paid the tax, since Jet.com is in Jersey, but then get it from across the country. Still a good...
Yes, I tried with 14.12 and 14.9. They can boot to desktop, but then the screen goes black.
With the ones I have now, I had the computer running for 8+ hours yesterday, but then turned my monitor off to let Elder Scrolls Online run the patch overnight. I woke up and when I turned the screen...
I just bought an open box asus r9 290 directcu ii from newegg for $229 - $25 Amex Sync promotion. Not the best price, but a decent upgrade from my 6850.
Having some of the reported Black screen problems though. Stable with no drivers installed. Mostly stable with the 13.251 drivers on the...
I am running 4.5Ghz @ 1.355 volts. I was able to boot into windows at 4.8Ghz @ 1.375 volts and 5.0Ghz @ 1.415 volts. All passed intel burn test maximum at 30 runs, but the higher would not pass Prime 95 Blend for more than 2 hours. I wanted this rig to try folding so I wanted to be able to...
I have not benchmarked this drive other than a restart program. The computer boots down and restarts in around 45 seconds, which seems good to me, although I only have a laptop with a western digital caviar black to compare it to (which was a big upgrade from the Seagate which came with it). I...
This is disappointing, but I just moved my hard drives (40gb intel ssd and 1tb samsung f3) to the SATA III inputs. I have my optical drive on SATA II, but I do not need to use it much (I was planning on building this computer mostly to play games bought on Steam and for ripping my cds to my...
good deal. if I had not bought the Asus 6850 a couple weeks back I would consider this.

Working on it. Waiting for one of the chairs I have been considering to hit a certain price point. I also need to buy a new keyboard because my current one just stopped working (older MX3000, when on boot up only the f key works, tried some of the fixes online, but does not work. Works on my...
Another option is buying from mwave using ebillme on 2x Tuesdays. That puts the price around $200 after the cashback. You can also use other cashback on top like fatwallet or ebates.
I bought a 2500k+ud4 for $394 after ebillme+$5 review coupon including a download for Civilization V for free...
If I didn't get the 40gb intel ssd for $38 (after coupons/rebates) from mwave, I would consider this as a boot drive.
At this point I will probably wait for the next generation and until prices are around $1/gb or less (hoping to upgrade to 80gb or 128gb eventually)
Would be interesting to see how it compares to this http://www.techpowerup.com/136371/Gigabyte-Also-Intros-HD-6870-OC-Graphics-Card-with-WindForce-3X-GPU-Cooler.html
If you ware interested in Wharfedales, I would check this site http://www.tsto.com/category_s/7.htm
I ordered a subwoofer from here and did not have any problems.
Not close enough to get it. But if they still have it, I thought someone here might be interested http://newyork.craigslist.org/brk/zip/2152468891.html
Probably going to buy a Galant or Vika corner desk when I get my tax return.
If I were looking for bookshelf speakers, I would consider these, although they are getting discontinued http://www.chasehometheater.com/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=72&category_id=28&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=106
looks like they pulled it off the site...
Yea, I sent them the prices from newegg and superbiiz, but they have not matched them. I guess they figure people will pay the extra to have it with Prime.
These cancel out noise, but they do have a lot of clamping force on your head.

Large thread with feedback...
They had some good headphones for the money. I bought a pair of Klipsch Image X10 when they had a half off sale, and I am impressed by the sound (although I put them down on the kitchen and one of my siblings misplaced them.)
I have heard good things about their THX Certified speakers (other...
I wonder if they will be brining back more unique/rare/powerful items . I enjoyed going around in Morrowind, finding the items, and then giving them to the museum (would be cool if they had your house set up so that you can display items easily like in the museum).
Playing both Morrowind and...
I have the z-2300 and think they are good for movies and games, although I also have an Altec Lansing set, the ADA885 and prefer them for music and movies where voices are more important. http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1059130
If I were to replace them, I would look at the AudioEngine...
Good review. It also seems to be fairly priced, especially if microcenter offers a discount like they are advertising on other boards. http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354009
Also bought during the Ebay deal. I already have one which my mom uses with her macbook pro. Even though I have read through this thread, I believe I would be able to deal with the tinting as long as it is not like the green tint on some panasonic plasmas.
It will be interesting to compare...
Do you know if the heatsinks around the cpu socket get in the way of larger heatsink fans? I have a Thermalright Silver Arrow and am wondering if it will fit? I have emailed Thermalright asking when they will update their motherboard compatibility list, but have not heard back yet.
Right...
Running a Core 2 Duo laptop and am upgrading to 2500k. If I had a regular desktop with quad core or better, I would probably wait until z68 boards though. At that time Bulldozer seems like it would be out and would be able to compare options better. Right now I want to go back to a desktop...
