  1. Hey guys, I upgraded a computer that had windows 8.1 on it to windows 10 and I remember hearing Luke say on a WAN show that upgrading to windows 10 and back down to windows 8 was awesome and seamless or something along those lines.... I was hoping that I could do the same but I have no idea how to. I'm on build 10074 and I don't get that screen that asks you to choose between windows 10 and windows rollback and I've been trying to get back to it. I'm hoping I don't have to do a clean install. Do I have to boot from a flash drive or something?

  3. Asus said that they are planning to release that monitor in Q2 of this year. When it comes to the whole G-Sync vs FreeSync argument, I definitely blame Nvidia for creating this situation in the first place. I'm more inclined to go the FreeSync route. If you are given a choice between 3 monitors, one monitor that has standard specs, one that shares same specs and price plus FreeSync, and one last one with G-Sync plus $100 added to cost... Most people will be inclined to go with the FreeSync monitor just because its a free feature. It literally does not make sense to choose a G-Sync monitor other than if you Nvidia fan or own an Nvidia GPU solely because the premium prices on those monitors. At the same time, you don't really lose anything by buying a FreeSync monitor. If you have a card that supports FreeSync its definitely a plus, if not you don't really lose anything in the value of the monitor. And there were no monitors that supported both FreeSync and G-Sync this year.
  4. Vinyl Prints are in!!!!! The side I'm most proud of (covers some of my mistakes)
  5. @W-L Thanks for the post, I might be too scared to try the acetone bath thing though. Especially since some of my more recent failures haha
  6. Definitely not the video card I plan on keeping in there. I was testing the spacing. So the other day I tried applying a clear coat enamel to the I/O side panel to protect it and make it more shiny.... I ended up completely wrecking the side panel and the finish became so cracked and uneven. I ended up re-sanding the side panel and tried to re paint and to hopefully cover up my mistake. It kinda worked, but now the color is a few shades darker then the rest of the case... Overall, I'm a bit disappointed for trying to go the extra mile, failing and then trying to cover my mishaps. There are many imperfections that I see that kinda make this an eyesore since I'm a bit of a diva, but for my first DIY paint job I'm a bit happy I went this far. After all, it's going to be the hardware inside that makes this great. I just hope my girlfriend will like it. This would have been a lot easier if Corsair just released the yellow 380t though
  7. If anyone knows how to polish them or w/e that would be very nice.
  8. Have you consider wrapping the case in some yellow gloss vinyl, it's a quick and easy way to change the color and look without too much work, some of the more complex parts such as handles could be painted to match. Hope to see more soon I didn't want to do the Vinyl wrap because I felt like that could peel off at some point for any random reason. Here's my progress so far: http://imgur.com/sSNirLL I disassembled everything of course. I ordered the windowed side panel so I decided to practice the spray painting the current one. http://imgur.com/V9ZRlM4 A better look at the side panel I practiced on and it worked out pretty great. http://imgur.com/MjgkQy8 Spray painted both side panels together http://imgur.com/t7DTnf2 Ran into my first hiccup. I sprayed some primer onto the plastic front panel and let it dry for an hour. Then I applied a coat of yellow and I started getting all of these cracks and the paint didn't sit too pretty with the primer. I tried spraying another coat to hopefully cover all of the weirdness and while it did reduce it some, ther
