corporate costs range from $30-$100/hour based on the level of support. 

It's 775. the socket is so old, and the processors are so cheap that nobody cares anymore. 
 
There's nothing wrong with the tape mod. Loads have done it and been fine. As long as OP doesn't have buckets as hands he/she/it will be fine. 

You can't refill them.
All you can do is clean out the dust from the rad and replace the AIO if it fails.
I've had  my H100i for like 6 years now or something crazy like that, still working fine.

Do you see any performance degradation? If not, then no maintenance is needed.
I don't believe you could perform maintenance even if you wanted to, since it wasn't designed with that in mind. They're so cheap that you'd just go out and buy a new one.

Slow in relation to an SSD, 2 platter drives with the same amount of cache and rotation speed won't be drastically different from one another in real world use.

If anyone is interested in this list I tend to put one together each year for deals around the Holidays. I usually share it with friends and family but also post it on here if it's helpful for anyone. I do try to keep it as updated as possible but I am merely human and am just as busy as anyone else during the Holidays. If you have any suggestions or corrections please feel free to make a comment and I'll try to make edits to keep it fresh. It is shared to the public so feel free to share it with anyone else. Enjoy!

Watch MKBHD's X3 video. Basically:
Pros of X3:
same battery life smaller, nicer design (flush with ears) slightly better sound  more colors slightly more comfortable ear fins Cons of X3 besides higher price:
weird proprietary charging thingy as opposed to microUSB battery in remote, making it bulky and unbalanced soft bag instead of hard-shell, rubberized carrying case Overall I'd get X2s instead

I've fallen asleep with them in before. I barely notice they're there.

IDK, haven't tried.
Probably not very, as they do stick out a bit. X3's are pretty much flush with the side of the head tho

We just see this question a lot. To an absolutely silly degree. And since a simple search will answer the question I hope you can understand the response.

A tad overkill, but since he uses it professionally the extra oomph certainly won't hurt. And the iGPU will be more than enough for online poker.

thank you for including the OS. That is one very important thing i forgot to mention. Thanks so much

Either join a team or create your own and sign up on esea/cevo. Until then, stop whining about MM.
 
I'd advise against playing MM because it's only teaching you bad habits that'll be harder for you to break later on down the road should you ever make it past open.
 
 
 

Other then it not working?

Hello all! Long time LTT fan, new to the forum. I wanted to share my build, as it's really been a labor of love for the past month. I trash picked it from a local computer store in December, and it's come a long way since then.

It started life in 21 years ago 1995 with a 486dx2 running at a mind blistering 66mhz, with a massive 4mb ram, and 1mb video memory. The 3.5 floppy disk could hold a maximum data capacity of 1.44MB. As of a few days ago, it now has a an Intel i7 6700k running at 4.3ghz, 16GB's of 3000mhz ddr4 ram, and 8GB's video memory. The 3.5 floppy drive can read up to 512GB of data from a single diskette. This was not a plug & play build. Massive amounts of cutting, fabrication, welding, grinding, a filing were required. It was awesome.

Here's the full build with gifs for proper demonstrations of the floppy drive in action: http://imgur.com/a/fvh1M

Sequential reads/writes up to 535 / 370 MB/s on all file types Random reads/writes up to 90k / 87k IOPS on all file types Over 15x faster, 2x more reliable and 2x more energy efficient than a typical hard drive More durable than a hard drive Includes spacer for 9.5mm applications

In theory, if you had a custom made block, maybe, but why the hell would you?

The typo for a $99 4K Samsung Tv gave me a chubby until I clicked the link.
