    If I didn't have to install spyware, I'd love to grab the games... but that's not the case...
     
    Great offers for those that don't care - I'm sure it'll grab more customers (And hopefully make steam more competitive for devs).

    Here are some good options, just make sure there is clearance between that PSU shroud and PCB of the 90 degree adapter:

    would you like to have microtransactions for the whole internet? that's pretty much what net neutrality is there for to stop ISPs from forcing you to pay more for certain sites they can even block other sites.

    JoeNoIce reacted to eeccrraaiigg in GTX 690's in SLI or Titan??   
    Okay I got 2 GTX 690's and an original Titan 6Gb for free, which of these would be the better setup (I'm guessing the 690's but idk). I am going to be using it to build my girlfriend a pc that can run PUBG (she recently moved in, never had played on a pc before, now she's addicted to PUBG lmao). So do you guys think either of these GPU setups would run PUBG and current games? Thanks, Cheers! 

    PS: The GPU's I got from two complete systems given to me for free, so on top of the GPU's I got a 4930k, a 3930k, 32Gb (8x4gb sticks) of Corsair Dom's, 32Gb (4x8gb sticks) of Corsair Vengeance, two AX1200i PSU's, a 1TB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, a 240Gb Corsair SSD, 2 2TB HDD's, a Corsair Case and a Lian Li case (both cases are in pretty crappy shape). But hell yeah i thought it was a great find for free!!!!

    waaaaat? How lazy are you?
    Also do you really require 64gb of RAM for a gaming PC?
    why 2 bluray drives?
    Also why are you not going for a 4790k with the money you will be spending?
    so many questions about this build haha...

    JoeNoIce reacted to ungreedy in NES build 1985-2015 30TH anniversary " NES 3.0"(completed final pics!)   
    First time posting here, so Hi every one! I hope you enjoy this build. This will be my first custom case mod. I have always wanted to build a custom nes pc since the first one i have seen. With all the new parts that have come out recently I think this puppy will be quite a little beast. My uncle just gave me a broken nes a week ago and i can't stop thinking about how I'm going to build this thing. I'm Going to go to microcenter or just order my Pentium 20th anniversy G3258 and motherboard in the next couple weeks ,so i can start fabricating .My goal for the build is to keep it as clean as possible on the outside, not a bunch of holes everywhere.Custom paint kinda a modern twist on a nes.Any thoughts and suggestions about cpu cooler and case cooling are a plus trying to find something other than the noctua cooler, it just does not fit my theme i had in mind(more red and black) I'll keep posting pics and update as soon as things happen. so until then later!

    Hi Everyone,

    Here are some pics of my recently upgraded C70 build. V1 of this rig had liquid cooling which I removed for several reasons when I upgraded my GTX 670 to a 970. These pics are first. The mobo is a Sabertooth Z77 and I have a Corsair H105 cooling my 3770K. The bullet holes in the acrylic are my favourite touch! I made a little plexiglass mount for my HDD and HyperX 3K SSD with a Makerbot 2 and my school's laser acrylilc cutter after I ripped out all the drive bays for my LC setup. Yes, I made a ghetto-morphic lens filter for a couple of those shots...

    Thanks for checking it out!

          About Me I am a Software Developer / Analyst. This is my second build log.  The first was the 2013 Torch GP, a twin (CPU/GPU) AIO watercooled gaming HTPC.   Why this case? Bragging rights mostly,  Could we go this small?  But, on a more practical note, I had recently moved and upgraded from a DLP TV to a flat panel.   I switched out my first build and upgraded to an Intel NUC and a soundbar.  In the process, I ditched the entertainment center and mounted everything behind the HDTV.  I loved the look. Very clean.  No wires.  But the NUC wasn't strong enough for gaming. A new build was needed. One that could fit behind the TV, without compromises..   I had three goals. Small enough to fit behind a wall-mounted television (sub 100m height for me),  Quiet enough for general HTPC use Powerful enough for gaming.     In November 2014, two things happened in the market that allowed this build to take off. First, Gigabyte released the world's first stubby GTX 970 card.  It fit into a mITX motherboard,  the GV-N970IXOC-4GD.  Second, Logic Supply released the MC600 and I stumbled upon this Reddit PC build thread using a it.  I contacted the thread's author - who is also one of the engineers/designers of the case - and he turned out to be an all-around classy dude.   I told him I was inspired, and he offered up one of Logic Supply's MC600 to be part of this build and I was determined to make it work. But industrial PC chassis' aren't meant to cool the consumer parts used in gaming PCs.      Case design and modifications In order to fit everything inside, an unconventional layout is being used. It involves laying the GPU down next to the motherboard and using a flexible PCIe riser ribbon in order to connect the two. This is sometimes referred to as a Steam Machine layout, because of Valve's popularization of the design with it's prototype Steam Machines.  Another trick used to reduce the footprint, is electing to use a DC power board instead of a traditional ATX Power Supply.  This allowed most of the PSU to live in an external power brick similar to a laptop or Xbox One. (Props to Sony for not needing this!) The last hurdle was thermals. The stock airflow pattern of the Logic Supply MC600 was not engineered with the intention of dissipating 150 Watts worth enthusiast grade GPU heat. To fix this, I sketched out a crude CAD drawing and took it to a local CNC place.  I had them cut two 120mm holes into the top panel.  One above CPU and another above the GPU.  Two fans were mounted there and blow cool air onto the components.  Since the GPU side generates twice the heat, it gets two assistance of two additional 60mm exhaust fans.     Parts List PC Part Picker List Case - Logic Supply MC600 Mobo - Asus H97I Plus CPU - Intel i5 4690K GPU - Gigabyte Mini-ITX GTX 970 PSU - HDPLEX 250W + Voodoo Firebird 350w Power brick RAM - 8GB Crucial Ballistix Very Low Profile DDR3 SSD - Transcend MTS800 256GB   CPU Cooling - Noctua L9i Heatsink (with 120mm Cougar Vortex)  GPU Cooling -  Stock Gigabyte heatsink + 120mm Yate Loon D12SM-12C  Case Exhuast  - 2x 60mm Evercool   Additional Items:  LiHeat 250mm PCIe Gen 3.0 Shielded riser.  Silverstone mesh grill covers.   Related threads Original [H]ardForum discussion - Link Overclock.net [build Log] - Link Reddit buildapc [build Complete] - Link
