    Looking for a new PSU

    I just bought the XFX XXX 750W PSU for $85 (75 if you count the rebate). I've heard good things about the XXX series and this is the lowest I've ever seen it http://us.ncix.com/products/?usaffiliateid=1000031501&sku=73229&vpn=P1-750X-XXB9&manufacture=XFX&promoid=1405

    Upgrading from LGA775, looking for some Haswell build advice

    Ideally, around $300 or so for a monitor. I think I'd prefer something with a matte finish with a low response time. By "crisp", I mean something that has vibrant popping colors. I obviously don't know much about monitors haha My PSU is from 2008. What are the life spans of PSUs? Also, how...

    Upgrading from LGA775, looking for some Haswell build advice

    I can buy everything as soon as I finalize a build, if need be. I am assuming now-ish would be the time to buy given all of the specials around the Haswell launch?

    Definitely. These are way better than the HD280 Pros and the Beats. Definitely happy about the purchase

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 vs Beats by Dre

    Yeah, I think the Beyerdynamic actually sells some of their refurb 770s on ebay for like $99 Buy it Now. However, I dont think there is any sort of warranty/guaruntee on them.

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 vs Beats by Dre

    Well here's what happened to me: I originally had the Beats, but when I got them, the left side was DOA. Before I returned them, I decided to listen to them for a bit to see if I even wanted another pair. I could tell off the bad that they felt a little plasticy and I wasnt happy about...

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 vs Beats by Dre

    I havent heard anyone say that Beats were better than 770s, so I may try them instead, especially if GC will return them if I dont like them. And I am a big fan of earbuds as well. I have Bose in Ear, but I had to send them back because the left bud went out. I tried the in ear Beats and they...

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 vs Beats by Dre

    Yes, these are entirely for home use. I have closed headphones now, so I would like to stick with this style. Also, from what I understand, I should get the 80ohm 770s if I dont want an amp? Edit: I suppose if its for home use I wouldnt be opposed to getting an amp as well, just as long as...

    Alternative to Antec P182?

    The P182 is a great case, the only thing I didn't like was the space inside. Although it had a lot of nice things that made some parts easy, others were a pain (wiring the PSU). I think I was spoiled by my Antec Super LANboy

    Which drive should I use as a boot drive?

    Yeah it is one of the OEM Dell drives. I had a 74GB raptor and had to RMA it, but they didnt have any more 74GB drives. I called and bitched about how long it was taking so they upgraded me to the 80GB. No problems since.
