  1. The company I work for makes simulator grade displays (for USAF and other Air Forces plus 360 degree globes) with also short throw display, but these figures blew my mind...
  2. Ah so something has been mentioned? Mustve missed it. Really want one because of the style and the zip bonus that it supports LTT also.
  3. Hey guys, Not sure if this is the correct topic to be posting in Off Topic (derp) but I am desperately searching for the hoody that Linus is wearing during the CES coverage to purchase, its orange and black with the WAN show logo (in LTT orange with white) and has a front zipper. He's wearing it during this review: Any help would be great!
  4. Great thanks for the information any ways guys! Unfortunately only one of these CPUs will be be OC'd (mine, hence the reason for asking) and the other two will be kept at stock, so we'll never truly know their potential...
  5. I've just picked up my 3x 4790ks for our triple build, looking at the packaging I have noticed one of them has a different batch number compared to the other two, I'm wondering if there is a way of finding out which chip MAY perform better just going on batch number alone? (without even unboxing it) Batch#: 2x L419B574 1x L420B877
  6. *palm to forehead* doh, the warranty! Thanks for the answer!
  7. I already stated I wanted a larger capacity drive as I run OS from SSD I already stated I wanted a larger capacity drive as I run OS from SSD Awesome, thanks for the clarification! I didnt consider the loudness of the drives really, i'll be grabbing a couple of Blues instead!
  8. I know, I know, I know... I shouldnt even be buying the retail version of the 4790k but its the same price as the tray version! Fortunately this has an added benefit, the NZXT Kraken X61 I originally wanted to use is not yet released in the EU (hopefully end September) so until then the only option I have without spending more of my budget money is using the Intel stock heatsink and fan, of course I wont be OCing or doing anything extreme until the X61 is fitted, but my question is is this risky to use even temporarily for gaming/light testing whilst I wait? I'm struggling to find reviews of stock coolers on top tier CPU's (no wonder really) so any information would be appreciated!
  9. Looking at buying a few WD Black 2TB as I'm running OS from main SSD and want a larger capacity sotrage, but am wondering if the Black version are actually worth buying as the specs do seem alot similar compared to the Green and Red versions... or am i missing something here?
  10. Yup, it seems its a pre-order only item... I really really really want this for my H440 especially as it performs better than the H100i
  11. I've been attempting to find a supplier of the NZXT Kraken X61 in Belgium (or surrounding EU countries that would ship to BE) as I wish to purchase 3 for my upcoming triple build, but with no luck as so far it seems my only option is to purchase from the US with an extra 150 Euro of shipping and Taxes!!! Would anyone know of a supplier in BE or EU or even one that does ship to Belgium at a more reasonable price?
  12. Yea I also cant seem to find the list of resellers. If you read the FAQ on the site you MUST have a redeemable coupon/code that is from the supplier of the card (Not redeemable via AMD) I wouldnt mind spending even 50 Euro more per card if I know I could get this offer...
  13. After watching the latest LinusTechTips video I was informed about the latest offering from AMD http://www.amd4u.com/radeonrewards/ As I plan to purchase 3x R9 290x Vapor-X OC in the coming weeks I would love to cash in on this deal, however I cant seem to find out the availability of the coupons or even which suppliers they have provided the coupons to, specifically I'm looking for a stockist in Belgium or the EU (France/Germany etc...) as I am desperate for the special Star Citizen AMD branded Mustang (plus other games of course) Any help would be greatly appreciated!
  14. Im not finding many reviews of this, but plenty of the corsair. Why is it better?
  15. Yea I was initially surprised as the price difference also, losing £9 across all 3 machines is negligible even with very minor gains.
  16. The motherboard supports it and the 1600mhz kit is £141 whereas the 2400mhz is £144. Would there be any particular reason not to go for the 2400mhz?
  17. Oki, after a delayed month attempting to sell a car to get the cash together I finally have the last iteration of our new builds. This will actually be 3x identical machines (Though no storage as we already have that covered) Aiming for 1440p high end gaming, with future ability for 4k once the price drops on the panels. Would like to keep the Black/Blue theme if possible. Yes we will be overclocking, yes we want the i7 for purposes other than gaming and yes we want 16GB of Ram PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-4790K 4.0GHz Quad-Core Processor (£239.94 @ Aria PC) CPU Cooler: NZXT Kraken X61 106.1 CFM Liquid CPU Cooler (£110.38 @ Scan.co.uk) Motherboard: MSI Z97S SLI Plus ATX LGA1150 Motherboard (£91.99 @ Aria PC) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-2400 Memory (£143.15 @ Amazon UK) Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB Vapor-X Video Card (2-Way CrossFire) (£419.99 @ Novatech) Video Card: Sapphire Radeon R9 290X 4GB Vapor-X Video Card (2-Way CrossFire) (£419.99 @ Novatech) Case: NZXT H440 (Blue/Black) ATX Mid Tower Case (£89.99 @ Aria PC) Power Supply: Corsair RM 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply (£126.13 @ More Computers) Total: £1641.56 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-08-31 10:54 BST+0100
  18. Why the MSI Z97S over the Sabertooth Mark 1? The only extra feature I see is the M.2 connection?
  19. I do like the Blue/Black theme kept up here, however as I did state in the original post I wont be requiring storage so would rather put that money into other features.
  20. Not sure if bumping is allowed, but I would really appreciate some input so I can order in the coming weeks.
  21. Fallen in love with the Phantek Enthoo Primo, and am considering an NZXT Kraken X61, however will this fit in the top mounting? NZXT Kraken X61: 140 x 140 x 25mm (280?) Phantek Enthoo Primo Top: Upto 480 I do find these numbers a little confusing, but does this mean the X61 will fit with plenty of space to spare or is this 480 after a lot of internals have been removed (always dubious when I see "upto" in the sentence) Thanks in advance!
  22. After discussing varying Linux distributions with a colleague (who seemed to know what he was talking about) I booted up a partition into CentOS to show something quick, his first reaction "but...where is the Start button?"
  23. Im currently in the process of building 3 identical machines for my girlfriend, her brother and myself. Typically I always name my machine something geeky for network purposes, however I think in this instance I want to name all three but have yet to come up with something either clever or witty... ...any suggestions? Current idea (not mine! Honest!) Blossom, Bubbles and Buttercup... :rolleyes:
  24. No I wont be doing video editing, however some games will be taxing RAM wise, Star Citizen is being based on a minimum requirement of 8GB of RAM (Currently) and looking at the same G.Skill Ripjaw X but in 2x4GB Modules is exactly half the price with a saving of only £60... should I go for faster RAM?
  25. After some original help from my first list, I have rework the setup: 1. Budget & Location - £1300 - Belgium (But using UK prices as partpicker isnt showing alot of parts for EU) 2. Aim - Gaming (Star Citizen is the goal) 3. Monitor - 1 @1080p 4. Peripherals - Yes but future purchases (HOTASS etc...) I will require alot of connectivity 5. Our machines are 5 years old, we treat them well and they have never let us down... until recently. New rigs are a must for future gaming. Note: This build is for 3 identical machines, with a few minor exceptions. We will be re-using one case from the original machine (NZXT Phantom) and re-using some storage, essentially though this 'single' list will be the template for all 3 rigs. Again feel very free to criticise any of the choices! (I would like to keep the Phantek Primo as I have a reasonable price, however I am unsure if the Kraken X61 will fit) I am also aiming for a Black/Blue combination if possible, though this is NOT the main factor.
