    Have two questions about an HP Envy 14t for gaming

    Having trouble getting answers to these questions for the HP Envy 14t. Hoping someone owns one and may be able to help with answers... 1. There is an option for the Nvidia 940M and 950M. In the 900 series wiki article, it says the 940M is either a 33W GM108 or a 75W GM107. Which is correct...

    Are there any cases without 5.25" or SSD/HDD bays?

    Not a big fan of flashy. That S340 case is pretty cool, but adding space for water cooling isn't what I'm looking for.

    Are there any cases without 5.25" or SSD/HDD bays?

    Those are all great options! I'm a fan of Fractal. I like the Rainjintek the most ... can you speak towards their build quality? Thanks!

    Are there any cases without 5.25" or SSD/HDD bays?

    Sorry for the lack of details. My overclocking days are over, so everything is stock and I don't use water cooling. I have: - ATX motherboard - 4770k w/ stock cooling - EVGA GTX 970 FTW - Samsung 950 Pro PCIe (All other storage is external) - Standard sizes 550W PSU (can buy a different one...

    Are there any cases without 5.25" or SSD/HDD bays?

    I don't use a ROM drive and all my SSD's are PCI-e. For my next case, I'd like to avoid the wasted space. Does this exist yet?

    Any advances in the 27" IPS offerings?

    Going back in time a year or two... I'm looking for a $300 to $400 27" IPS 2560x(1080 or 1440) display. I remember better ones coming out every month. Who is the current crowd favorite?

    What USB microphone for a speaker setup?

    I have a dac/amp/2.0 setup that I am loving. Need a microphone for online gaming. Don't want to have to use on-board sound, so USB is preferred. What do you recommend that isn't too big?

    Buying a ~$2000 Mobile Workstation --- Need Advice

    Thanks for the advice. I'm going with a Dell M4800. They have a pre-built one that has most of what I need for a good price. Seems to be the highest quality of the brands based on what everyone is saying.

    Buying a ~$2000 Mobile Workstation --- Need Advice

    My old Dell (A P4C machine) laptop was BULLETPROOF. It still works to this day despite spending a year in Iraq. Amazing machine. I'm assuming their business notebooks maintained that quality while their personal notebooks were turned into piles of shit. So I'll go browse through their...

    Buying a ~$2000 Mobile Workstation --- Need Advice

    I've been hearing that about Dell. My experience with their personal laptops is HORRIBLE. Though I know the divisions are completely unrelated. This simulation software maxes out everything ... memory and CPU. So I know the workstations are designed to deal with the heat. This is a 100%...

    Buying a ~$2000 Mobile Workstation --- Need Advice

    I'm buying a mobile workstation for my job. I run SolidWorks and various simulation programs. Would really like advice / opinions from people who have experience working with this type of equipment. - Lenovo, HP, Dell, or other? - Can laptops use ECC? My requirements: - 15" (I will...

    Why Videogames Shouldn't Be Played Online With Strangers

    This was always a fun debate growing up. Dinner is ready 30 minutes early and I'm told to come downstairs. Since I'm "playing alone" I should drop what I'm doing and go. In actuality, I'm a tank in the middle of a dungeon. I have to abandon the group and fuck 4 other people out of an hour of...

    Magic 2014 Video Game?

    Just got into Magic in real life. Does this game have a "standard" mode with all cards from the real game? I want to use it to practice and learn all the cards.

    $200 to replace headphones

    I just finished the setup and this is fantastic for $70. I check slick deals and hard deals every day. When I start seeing better equipment on sale I'll jump on it. I'm happy to slip down a slope, but I'll wait for a house. Thanks again!

    $200 to replace headphones

    This looks great and well below my budget! I'll get the $50 pair and the $18 Lepai amp for the next year. If I really get into speakers, I'll look at upgrading to something much nicer early 2015. Thanks to both of you!

    $200 to replace headphones

    I currently use on-board sound and cans. Been using them so much my head has a dent lol. I want two desktop speakers for either side of my monitor (no subwoofer) and a sound card (if needed) for $200 or less. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Game Dev Says Sales Screw Your Fans

    I wait for big sales on games I wouldn't normally purchase. Games I really want are typically day one purchases. If your frustrated that not enough people bought your game on day one .... get better PR or make a game that doesn't suck.

    $100 cans with bass

    My Nephew wanted me to take him toTarget for skull candy crushers that are 100 because he wants "crazy bass". I convinced him to get something else on Amazon and next day it. So $100 and no external amp please.

    Anything worth upgrading to from a 840 Pro?

    256. I'm am insanely surprised that my 1 year old ssd is still the top of the line. What sad times we live in :( Also, only thing RAID will get me is king of the storage benchmarks and swapping files between an equally fast RAID setup. I thought the RAID topic has been fully beaten to death...

    Anything worth upgrading to from a 840 Pro?

    Nothing else in my system is worth upgrading. I was surprised my GTX 680 didn't get choked by BF4 at 2560x1440. Runs it like a champ. I'll replace my H80i with a nice air cooler and get a new case. Not overclocking anymore and don't really want to wait for the H80i to start leaking. That...

    Anything worth upgrading to from a 840 Pro?

    I have a 240GB 840 Pro. With a few stackable coupons, I could get a new SSD from TD for ~$50 off. Nothing else in my computer would be worth upgrading. Is there anything out with new tech that would beat up an 840 PRO (I've had it for almost a year, I'm guessing there should be)?

    I bought a used pair from someone on [H] and have loved them. All my previous headphones (Corsair and some others) were crap quality and would break in no time. This are super sturdy and sound great. Can't really comment on the comfort factor. They do not bother me at all. However, I've...
