  1. There will be no issues running a different brand or resolution, and (as far as I'm aware) refresh rate. Has anyone else had issues running a 144 next to a 60? But yea I would just jump on your local Craigslist / gumtree / eBay equivalent and pick up a cheap second hand 1080p. I picked up my second and third monitors for $30 and $40 and even managed to match the model exactly.
  2. Okay, I think some people think about power backwards. Which may give the OP the wrong impression regarding their question. "Is it okay to use?" The answer is yes. Power isn't pushed. If you have a 1000watt power supply it's not pushing 1000watts of constant power to your components. A 1000watt power supply means that it can safely supply 1000watts if it's asked to. The way electricity works is that it's pulled or drawn by the component(s) that require it. This goes the same for all electrical devices. This is why your 100watt light bulb doesn't explode when it's connected to a nuclear power plant that is supplying 4,000 megawatts. In fact it will do damage when there is under supply of power. In short, as long as all your components add up to use less watts than your power supply, it's 'okay' to use. Using this calculator below will give you a good indication of your power draw. http://www.extreme.outervision.com/psucalculatorlite.jsp However, there is a few things to consider when buying a PSU. - Running a PSU at 100% of its rating will be like running as fast as you can on a treadmill. You can do it for a while, but eventually you will fail from fatigue. - A power supply will vary in energy efficiency at different wattages. In your specific case, it looks like your PSU is most efficient at 400-500w I say it would be a great purchase. And future proofs you. A good PSU will last 10 years.

  3. Got my red version today, live in Australia so I'm pretty impressed with quick shipping.
  4. I don't judge a company or person by the mistakes they make. Everyone makes mistakes. I do judge them by their ability to take ownership of when they stuffed up, their willingness to rectify any issues, and their overall customer service. I received my email before my hoodie as I'm in Australia. I think it was due around the 10th? But good on teespring! My impressions of your company are even higher now I see the way you handle yourself.
  5. I'd say wait for Windows 10 and DX 12. Only 7 weeks away. This may change the landscape completely. It might allow games to utilise multi cores and multi threads a lot better which might make the 4790k a worthwhile investment.

  8. If I won the CPU, I would burn it. Burn it in, that is. Then OC it
  9. I thought his assets and "proceeds of crime" from megaupload.com were frozen. But he started making income again from his new business, mega.co.nz which has nothing to do with the charges his accused of.
  10. I have a few devices. - Mobile - Laptop - Desktop - NAS I have installed BitTorrent Sync on all of them and have my documents, pictures, and a few other files syncing between them. Works really well. I've set them to sync just over lan. But if needed you can sync over the internet. It will however only be limited by you connections upload speed. When I get home, my mobile sends my photos and videos to the NAS. So I never have to fear losing them or having them stored on a server somewhere. If I edit a document on my laptop. I can pull it up on my desktop flawlessly. And if I ever lost anything the NAS is set to archive the important stuff even if it's deleted. I'm really impressed with it.
  11. 1 million, congrats. Thought I best make an account to say thank you to you and all the team for all the hard work you put it and pure entertainment you provided me. You know you have a Linus problem when even my computer illiterate girlfriend knows you both by name. ha.
