  1. So last night I was unraveling my Macbook charger from its usual coiled state, and noticed a kink where the charging cable meets the power brick. I examined it, and like a dumb-ass, bent it the opposite direction. So now I have a semi-stripped cable coming out of the brick, and I don't know if it is dangerous to be exposed. I know a fair bit about PCs, but next to nothing about electricity and current. Is the charge coming out of the brick enough to zap someone if they step on it? or maybe create a spark? Im planning on buying a new one, but I'd like to know whether or not to use it until then. (I can still charge my laptop, but only if I position it as shown in picture 2) Thanks!
  2. I don't personally have one, but I love the look of the "Stealth" series from MSI and Linus has 1 or 2 videos on them http://www.google.com/aclk?sa=l&ai=CHuSBoGS9VdWXEtjshAS8pqPID-GdltAGgfOLzJQCmYrotf8DCAQQASgFYMmGgIC0pNgPoAHjjOL8A8gBB6oEJk_QaUAuUXXjpGwPm_GW-BrT9SMMuAxd7j060JEubUYl-uv1x50EwAUFoAYmgAeG8kyIBwGQBwKoB6LCG6gHpr4b2AcB4BKEh4OIje2A09cB&sig=AOD64_36tt4bSLM0kpcm4UqvFJVYMYK56w&ctype=5&clui=1&rct=j&q=&ved=0CCEQww9qFQoTCOPhuMWSiccCFcwbPgodohoAWQ&adurl=http://clickserve.dartsearch.net/link/click%3Flid%3D92700007720659950%26ds_s_kwgid%3D58700000457845262%26ds_e_adid%3D74152622833%26ds_e_product_group_id%3D137283372313%26ds_e_product_id%3DN82E16834152813R%26ds_e_product_merchant_id%3D8438988%26ds_e_product_country%3DUS%26ds_e_product_language%3Den%26ds_e_product_channel%3Donline%26ds_e_product_store_id%3D%26ds_e_ad_type%3Dpla%26ds_s_inventory_feed_id%3D97700000000000031%26ds_url_v%3D2%26ds_dest_url%3Dhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx%3FItem%3DN82E16834152813R%26nm_mc%3DKNC-GoogleAdwords-PC%26cm_mmc%3DKNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Gaming%2BLaptops-_-N82E16834152813R 1,200 € http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=&sku=1149344&gclid=CjwKEAjw3PGtBRCWgajpu_uY9hYSJAAICRaloTPoMb3b6bGvwmaLZ4z8_kIxpPnB6IxWDXIlFiLBvRoCALLw_wcB&Q=&m=Y&is=REG&A=details 1,550 €
  3. Neither of those games really appeal to me, but somehting interesting that I've seen for the first time: Mostly because of LIRIK, but still seems like its a hit game and gaining popularity. (and wtf is up with CS catching up to LoL)
  4. A little more than accents, but the Bitfenix Neos looks sexy af http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA25V2EU4363&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleMKP-PC-_-pla-_-Computer+Cases-_-9SIA25V2EU4363&gclid=CjwKEAjw3PGtBRCWgajpu_uY9hYSJAAICRalEAGUz3RgZUBMAwu6Gwv08HV0GqV478wEHlSl3sv_8RoCiBrw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds
  5. Hey I've been refreshing the lounge all day for the past week, looking for a FN flip doppler, but could never find someone willing to trade me for it.... Are there any other websites that specialize in this type of trading, and have similar amounts of people looking to trade?
  6. oh I was talking about big brand programs browsers, platforms, utilities, ect. drivers will probably take a while to iron out
  7. you couldve just sent a message to the mods lol
  8. All the major brands have optimized their software for Win10 for a while now, and MSI is one of those so yeah
  9. I doubt that 6700k is legit, plus it was most likely an early prototype leaked or a faulty chip?
  10. Well, unless you already have it, its a waste of 100+ $$ EDIT- Actually with that 390x and SOC mobo, you leave room for potentially 3 more GPUs, so yeah i guess that 1k Watt PSU is alright
  11. go with a 600-700w PSU also a 970 wont do 1440p at 60fps unless your at low/very low settings
  12. No, but I don't think you have to go push-pull. If you really want to though, I suggest the Enthoo Luxe, but look into the exact measurements of your fans/rad and space available in the luxe
  13. http://www.canadacomputers.com/product_info.php?cPath=559&item_id=080608 Best bet i'd say
  14. Not sure, but maybe try switching USB ports? unlikely but if you have the time you might want to try it. Question - can you have a corrupted file on USB?
  15. Enthoo Pro if your willing to have a full tower PSU shroud, drive bays, air flow, plenty of air flow and included fans
  16. You can get a new 970 or 290x for just about $300-320 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127841&cm_re=970-_-14-127-841-_-Product 970 (ON SALE) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202145&nm_mc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-PC-_-pla-_-Desktop+Graphics+Cards-_-N82E16814202145&gclid=CjwKEAjwluetBRD98L639p35p0QSJACC8BlKE65P4OFGQ3GHZDIC11HZ2DKkcK2e3cxn7GKwA4tgWRoCxnjw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds 290x EDIT- didnt see the CAD... I bet you could find a used 280x or new 280 for around $300 CAD
  17. THANK YOU *unzips pants* Can I ask what your editing? Stunning build by the way!
  18. Any chance you could've deleted files in Program files?
  19. Fixes wont be online yet, so either wipe any potential problems or submit something to microsoft and wait for an update. If its windows 10, they'll get more of your USB/hard drive complaint and release a patch
