    PC Build Budget _$500-1200. Buying this week

    Okay. So maybe this is the wrong thread but... I tried taking out the CMOS battery out, even pressing the little clear CMOS button. Nothing. Just turns on but no beeps / post. I took out every component besides the CPU. I made sure the 6/4 pin connector was also connected. One other...

    PC Build Budget _$500-1200. Buying this week

    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130226 I believe it was msi x58 I will have to check again. Besides upgrading RAM I think that system as it was fit my needs.

    PC Build Budget _$500-1200. Buying this week

    Interesting. I would have thought that the one place that fully utilized multiple threads / rendering correctly was 3D rendering?

    PC Build Budget _$500-1200. Buying this week

    Ah, updated for answer #8: before Nov 1st, hopefully sooner. I live in Northern California but would rather buy everything online. I am wondering about the advantages / tradeoffs between a 6 core last gen i7 cpu vs the Skylake 4k? Given the work I would be doing?

    Hi Would love some help :). I have a MBP 15 top of the line, latest but my last MBP died, so wanted to build a PC again to do my rendering. I care more about value. i.e if rendering on i5 is gonna be more expensive than i7 because of electric, then would be interested in i7. I dont want to go...

    M- Audio AV-40 for 119.99

    True not often, but these have not been $200 in at least a year. For $200 you are better off looking at others like krk rockits. Just know the higher price for this is $150, not $200, and they average at $140. Not saying these are a bad deal, I just want to point out that you are not...

    XBOX Music Pass - 1 year - $49.99 - today only (12/15)

    Does anyone know how it compares in terms of audio quality? I know mog is supposed to be the best and spotify is not as good. Sometimes companies can be a bit sneaky and tricky and even if their streams are high bit rates, the quality is poor.

    39" 4k monitor/tv = $499

    I'm trying to think of which one to go with.. 4k 50" .. has 88ppi~ vs 39" 113 ppi ~. Current 30" 1600p is about 100ppi I suppose a 27 1440p is about 109 ppi. Decisions. 24" @ 1080p = 92 ppi What do you guys think? I'm leaning towards 50"
