    GeForce GTX 1080: Most Bizarre Secret Paper Launch Ever @ [H]

    This new reply from Nvidia to Kyle makes things even stranger with this cocked-up launch. If NV now suddenly says FE *and*custom AIB cards are all going to be available on the same day, May 27, then why haven't we seen any announcements of non-FE cards from the likes of big NV partners like...

    Best mini-ITX CPU air cooler recommendation?

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a best air cooler in this small size form factor? Toying with the idea of building something fun like an overkill console replacement using either the Fractal Node 202 or the Silverstone RVZ02, with a Z170 mini-ITX mobo, probably a non-K Skylake CPU, and a...

    In Win S-Frame Open Air Case

    I gotta say I'm really liking this case.. The D-Frame I wasn't really sold on - this one makes that look like a high school experiment. The aesthetic design of this is really amazing, on par with something like the TT Level 10, IMHO. Completely different and innovative. Just as expensive...

    Haswell graphics + SLI at the same time?

    I don't know if this has been answered before, but I couldn't find anything after searching around the Internet. Does anyone know if there are any issues or limitations running the on-board Haswell graphics at the same time when you have SLI installed in the system? :confused: I'm...

    Alternatives to the NZXT Kraken G10?

    Don't hold your breath for the G10. (or NZXT in general) I put an order in for 3 them on Dec. 27th when they were allowing pre-orders, with a stated claim on the page that they would be available mid-January. That came and went, and my order never changed off of 'processing'. I finally pinged...

    I've update the listing again to reflect everything I have been paid for up to this point and is considered sold. Items I marked as *pending* have/had someone interested and in line, but may fall through. If it does I will contact the next person in line that was interested. I apologize if I...

    Updated to reflect some of the items I received payment for already. Sorry it is taking me a while to respond, I am flooded with PMs ATM and trying to work through all of them. If I don't respond, it is probably because the item you were inquiring about was already spoken for, sorry.

    ASUS GeForce GTX 770 DirectCU II Video Card Review @ [H]

    Just picked up 2 of these cards at my local Micro Center last night before I had seen this review. Only $399/piece and no shipping costs seemed like a pretty good deal not to pass on. Got two of the free Metro:LL coupons to boot. Nice review [H], validated that made I good choice on these...

    AOC I2757FH 1080p IPS

    Their 2mm claim is pretty misleading. Take a look at the Playwares pics and you can see that even though, yes, the outer edge bezel is only like 2mm, there is some sort of inner bezel under the front glass panel that looks to be a good ~10mm thick. So it's still not bezel-less On a side...

    AOC I2757FH 1080p IPS

    I saw some of the PR about this today and had my curiosity piqued because of that claim of a 2mm bezel. Looking at the pics on BB and AOC's own website, I wasn't really seeing how that could be accurate, but it wasn't 100% clear The pictures on the playwares site finally explained it - It...

    Computex 2012 New Case Thread!

    So TT is bringing back the original Level 10, but it's silver and there's only going to be 300 of them total? It looks like it's been updated with USB 3.0.. I'd be more interested if they were also bringing back the regular old black Level 10 but updated with USB 3.0. I can only imagine...

    Silverstone RV04/FT04 - Back Again

    While the FT04 looks pretty nice, I think I will be perfectly happy with keeping my FT02 if I can just get the AP182s for it if/when they are ever released.

    Silverstone RV04/FT04 - Back Again

    Do you have any info or pics about a new X2000F? Curious to see what they have changed in it.. I had the original X2000 in the form of the ABS Canyon 695 a while back, and really liked it, but sold it as a complete computer and don't have it anymore.. Been sticking to the FT02 for now.

    Silverstone RV04/FT04 - Back Again

    I never claimed or stated it was scientific in nature. I only related my observations between the two setups with the same cards in each case performing the same task. Fine, I guess I should have rephrased my statement and not called it a 'test' but rather an armchair comparison. Is that...

    Have you considered this one? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811163185 Same price range as the two Corsairs you were looking at. Positive heat stack air cooling, there are filters on the bottom fans for sure, not sure about the backside and rear ones though. There...

    Silverstone RV04/FT04 - Back Again

    The closest I've ever seen to fitting with that description are the Lian Li Tyr PC-X2000 cases. 3x 140mm fans blowing in from the front. Same concept, but Lian Li left it in a traditional upright layout. I had the original PC-X2000 back in the day in the form of the ABS Canyon 695 and it was...

    Silverstone RV04/FT04 - Back Again

    +1 I'd like to see this as well. Maybe it will lead to a new FT04 model, much like RV02 -> FT02. I keep hoping Silverstone will make an FT- model with a layout similar to the Maingear Shift / RV01, but with 3 AP181s across the midplane instead of 2, with 8 expansion slots, and a...

    LAN parties in New England?

    I would consider going to that Xana LAN, but that's seriously all they are going to play is CS and CS:S? No BF3, Crysis, or anything else? If that's the case it might not be that fun for me, but maybe something is better than nothing..

    LAN parties in New England?

    I am in Nashua, NH, and have been looking around for a while to see if there are any other LANs going on in the area. The only large one I've seen in this area since 2010 is the PAX East event I went to the Nor'easter LAN in Wilmington, MA, in 2007, and was going to go in 2010, but then...

    Why doesn't a case like this exist? Or does it?

    +1 MountainMods H2GO fits pretty close to what you are looking for. If you want even smaller still for just mATX, the Bob Slay might also fit the bill http://www.mountainmods.com/computer-cases-bob-slay-c-21_64.html http://www.mountainmods.com/computer-cases-h2go-c-21_81.html

    Rampage IV-E versus MSI BigBang Xpower II

    I've been checking out several reviews of both, and the general trend is that the RIVE is rated somewhat higher than the BBXpII, but wondering if anyone out there has direct experience with both that can compare/contrast and offer feedback. Pros/cons of each? Preference for one over the...

    GTX 680 In Stock Thread

    J&R says they have EVGAs in stock right now with expected ship date of 4/2/12 (Monday) They are charging more, $529.99, but I just ordered one more anyways. It's only $30 over launch MSRP and the shipping was free, so it's pretty much a wash since I would have paid $30 for overnight anyways...

    EVGA giving away GTX 680 high flow brackets

    +1 thanks for this. I had no idea this was there and was starting to get a little irritated I hadn't gotten any notifications if it had shipped yet. Especially after asking about it in the thread on EVGA's forum and Jacob saying they would ship this week - so I guess they did after all. :)

    What's up with 120hz displays disappearing?

    I was just going through old posts on 3D Vision Blog just now and noticed an article on there basically summarizing the same fact - that there is a general trend towards passive 3D instead of active. If that's the case then it sounds like better snatch up a 120Hz display soon before they go the...

    What's up with 120hz displays disappearing?

    I don't know if it's just me, or has anyone else been noticing that several models of 120Hz LCDs have suddenly become unavailable as of late? Newegg currently only lists 10 120Hz monitors for sale, and I think 3 of those are refurbs/OB of other models, and one is OOS (the Sam A700D). It...
