i will also be modding properly for the first time, and show all my mistakes and triumphs.

bye for now
E3 turned out great this year. The expo attracted about 52,200 people from 109 countries, even Kanye showed up this year! Anyways here is some news from the show.
Overall, Sony had a great show this year. They unveiled the remaking of one of the most beloved Japanese role-playing game, Final Fantasy VII. The release date of the remade game isn’t yet known, so keep your eyes open. After many no-shows Team ICO finally unveiled The Last Guardian. The mastermind behind ICO and Shadow of the Coloss
After breaking in and tuning the system to be extremely quiet for a week, I can now say that my first custom water cooling loop is preforming well and is quieter than expected. The only thing that really makes noise at lower speed is the pump. Thankfully the ASUS motherboard lets me have complete control over the speed of the fans and I can keep the pump running at its lowest setting even as the CPU warms up.
I have not noticed a temperature difference when the pump is running full speed or
Hey everyone, since I've seen a lot of questions about which gaming/work laptop is the best and where you should buy them i decided that i would make a little buyers guide for everyone.
Starting out at the "Budget" end of our selection we have the Lenovo Y40 ($750)

This is equipped with a i7-4510U Pro
I can't believe that. Our website got hacked. Happened over the weekend. We don't host it so not our fault. People actually started thinking that if our website is down their online banking might be affected.. How do they manage to link such "facts"?
Pleas help! I am going to by either : Kingston Savage 8GB DDR3 1600MHz witch is cl9 and is more excpencive or
Kingston HyperX Fury Red 8GB DDR31600MHz CL10
witch is better RAM Kingston HyperX Fury CL10 or Kingston Savage CL9.
Thank you.
Now that the water cooling components have arrived, the building has really begun.
First out of the boxes were the heat sinks. The CPU water block was the easiest I have installed to date, while the GPU predictably took some time. The overall GPU size shrank significantly, reveling the nice lower motherboard heat sink once again (Yay!).
Next step was to build the custom cables and rework the wiring through the case. I think these white/blue accents add quite a bit of style to this buil
Finally! After 2 months I have finally got it... THE virtualization server we always wanted. We got the cheapest price from a work college who does school IT kit now for next to nothing. A branded server- Fujitsu Primergy RX2540 M1.Specs are as following:
2x Intel Xeon E5-2620v3 (6c/12t) @2.4GHz
64GB DDR4 RAM @ 2133MHz in quad channel
3x 300GB SAS drives 15K in RAID 5
6x 3TB Hard Drives (WD Enterprise) in RAID 6
2x PRAID EP400i
4x additional SATA ports at the back- we might do SSD cac
By the end of next week I'll finally have worked enough hours for my computer build, the sad part is that since my pay check is delayed two weeks I have to wait for the the 3rd of July to actually get all the money I need for my new rig. The good news is, that since it's right around the time of 4th of July, sales will be inevitable, meaning that I might actually pay less for my build than I previously thought (depending on the deals that will be up that is). Anyway, it's perfect timing too, be
I am looking to buy an Asus NX90. Here's the catch - it has to be new or my father isn't willing to buy it. My budget is 1600USD (with one hundred USD or so leeway). Do you know anyone selling one or anywhere I can buy one? I am looking for the one with an 18.3" screen, Bang & Olufsen speakers and isn't small. Thanks for the help!

The computer parts have arrived, being picked up during a quick vacation to Southern California. You can probably guess from that alone where the purchase was made. All the water cooling components are in transit and should be here in the next day or two.
The boxes of the computer components looked rather good themselves, so I couldn't resist taking a few glamour shots of them. There are very few components in this build, which will help keep the computer interior clean.
I took this chance t
If there would be any mistakes I'm sorry, but I'm from Czech republic. Please keep that in mind :)
Hi, I'd like to Build myself my first gaming PC with those specs.
CPU: Intel Core i5-4460
GPU: (Gainward) NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750ti with 2GB of memory
MOBO: ASUS B85M G
RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1600MHz
HDD: Western Digital Blue 1TB
That's it. And I'm wondering - would be a Corsair VS430 (obviously 430W PSU) be enough or should I go with the CX500?
Another day at the office.. This time- printers! Gotta love 'em. When they work, they sort of don't and if the don't they will not. To the point, I get a call today regarding a printer issue.
Teacher: Hi, I can't get my printer to print an Excel spreadsheet.
Me: Ok, any error coming up?
Teacher: No, but it asks me to select a printer and when I do (surprisingly the correct one) it says "unable to communicate".
Me: I'll be right down.
I go down the the classroom and I find the printer turned
With the justifications/excuses for building a computer with a custom water cooling loop out of the way, I move on to the design of the computer in this entry.
For this first water cooling computer build, as with all my previous personal builds, it needs to be built of components to be low maintenance and last at least 5 years. To achieve that enthusiast components are to be used, namely an x99 motherboard, lga 2011-v3 CPU, and a GTX 900 series graphics card. The exact components were selected
So I'm close to finishing up my personal gaming/streaming rig and I'm having trouble choosing a graphics card. I know the card I'm going to get is going to be used but I cant decide between an EVGA GTX 980 SC ACX 2.0 or an EVGA GTX 970 FTW ACX 2.0. I will be overclocking them to the best of my abilities if that will help in deciding.
Hello everyone,
I'm gonna build my very first gaming rig an i dont know if the parts that i choose are good and are compatble with each other. I would like to hear your opinions and tips.

Is an antistatic wristband required?
I am a gamer and would like to build a new system. As of right now i am running an AMD fx-6300, 8 gigs of ram, 750 watt powersupply, 2 r7 260xs in crossfire, an ASUS M5a97 R2.0 motherboard, h80i, and a corsair 750d. I would like inputs for a new system. My budget is around $3,000 not including monitor, peripherals, etc.. I want to go the intel route this time around and I'm not sure what platform would be best lga 1150, 1155, 2011, or 2011-v3? If anyone has some information post in comments, I a
So about my build, I decided to go ahead and a few new things to it pushing me over budget, but I have been putting in a lot of hours at work, and I have found out that I should be to get around $1200 - $1300 by my second pay check, so budget is still an issue but I have a lot more breathing room, meaning i can get a lot more now.
With that being said I made some upgrades to my new rig, and same as the last post I would love to see some criticism and comments on my build. You could recommend
