  1. It will take a few hours to DL, so I will do some math homework until then
  2. Then pour that extra $$$ into a better gpu, or a nice monitor.
  3. I am about to buy the 325a package too! Is there an actual guild IN star citizen or just the steam group? Edit: derp found it
  4. I got my perfect Acer XB270HU from Ebay for $465 this week.
  5. Make sure you download the right windows iso, most likely being an OEM version! Otherwise your key from your old laptop will NOT work!
  6. Oh wow nice. The only way I have found to measure the actual mpcie buss speed is when using the egpu and opening up gpuz.
  7. Well as you said, try to find a tear down because I have no reason to suspect a cheap laptop supports mxm. Even if it did have some kind of removable/replaceable gpu (non mxm), it would be nearly impossible to find another one or be a totally outrageous price. If you are correct on the mpci-e buss speed, some high end gpus would be bottlenecked. Although depending on the cpu in the laptop, that might bottleneck the egpu before the bus speed. Luckily my HP Envy 6t 1200 has a mpcie gen 2 x2.1 slot, although my i7 3517u at 2.8Ghz bottlenecked my gtx 970 when I used it in games. The only cheap/used laptops that I know of that use mxm are old alienwares.
  8. If the 933 headset goes on sale, I will buy it.
  9. Yep same. Sold my 970 for the $600 windforce 980 Ti and got a PERFECT Acer XB270HU! HYPE!
  10. If you do not believe in the rebate (why wouldn't you, it's MSI), you can get the Gigabyte Windforce GTX 980 Ti for the same $600 up front.
  11. Still got the original disks baby!
  12. Simple, if you want the controller to be "properly supported in the future" as you say, buy original products. Then buy whatever controller you think feels best, the 360, one, ps3, and ps4 controllers all work perfect on pc. I personally got my ps4 controller used from amazon in perfect condition for $35.
  13. Yea doge, a job like that could even get you through cheap college education
  14. The k90 vs k95 is just the difference of RGB back lighting and more than just cherry mx reds. The roccat one only uses mx blacks, which are harder to press, but act the same as reds. I personally LOVE roccat's layout, but the use of only mx blacks makes it a no-go for me. All three keyboards are built well and have fantastic key caps.
  15. Same, sold my 970 and got a strix 980ti and Acer XB270HU bprz baby!
  16. Did you install the driver in the setup process of DS4? I literally just got a new PS4 controller and downloaded and installed DS4 and when I go into controller properties, everything works fine, even the touch pad through usb cable. My BT dongle works too.
  17. I can tell you that getting aerial shot of something moving while you follow it is AMAZINGLY COOL
  18. This is the first, and only quadcopter I own. Literally ask me anything about it if I do not proceed to answer it now. It has a nice size and is not extremely loud or annoying, but you can hear it (4 motors lol). If you break anything, it is repairable by connectors/screws, no glue or soldering. It flies great, although for more weight than just a gopro+case, you might want to look at the Syma x8 (slower, but more lifting power). Both quadcopters have 10-12 minute flight times unloaded, but with my quadcopter loaded with a 1300mah battery, gopro knock off + case, and fpv kit, I get 9 minutes of reduced throttle (smoother for recording video) flight time. If you want to be able to use an automated, self contained 2D gimbal, neither of these drones could carry the extra weight for more than 6-7 minutes. Something like the CX-20 would be the best option for all of this.
  19. So I can have all types of usb "flash drives" that shock your pc to death, yeaaaaay!
  20. No but I don't want to pay $40 in sales tax... Since Amazon has facilities in Ohio, I pay sales tax on "sold by Amazon" things.
  21. I should of RMA'd my two DOA 290x's back to msi instead of Amazon... and maybe I would have gotten some 390x's back
