In my defense it is twice the cost for a 3TB.

In practice, they should be about the same or the difference isn't worth caring about.

 

 

I would make sure those 780's are reference PCB

 

You would be better off with a good pair of headphones with a DAC/amp and a separate mic.

Error: 410

I'm sure that they are fine I am just weary of them as awhile back someone on the forum posted some scary failure rates. NOt sure how legit those numbers were but I didn't like them

Blue snowball or Blue snowflake.

 

Blue Yeti better than both, but you're probably not interested in that.

Appears it should, I assume you picked that off of the EK cooling configurator.

Odds are that also cites that horribly executed "study" of failure rates reported by Blackblaze.

Those numbers were absolute bullshit.

 

It was the one that showed Hitachi *cough* DeathStar *cough* on top, wasn't it?

lel, I wasn't sure if anyone else knew of the DeathStars (my dream build below has them)

save that for last once you have everything planned out and then take the rest of your budget to the audio subforum and they should be able to pick out a amp/DAC combo with a decent pair of headphones.

Just a question why do you have a john deere chainsaw in your sig?

troll sig, frequently catches people.
