Paperchase

It's not. I have no idea why these grown men choose to religiously spend their time watching MLP. I suspect attention whoring.

Yes. I am aware of that. English is not my first language either, but if he is insecure about his grammar he could have used a spelling correction program of some sort. I'm positive there are plenty out there in the series of tubes we know as the internet. I almost started correcting your grammar as well, but i'll let it slide.

Personally I'm not siding with AMD, nor am I siding with Nvidia. I don't care which company designed my GPU as long as it's fast and reliable. However I do own the 7970 Ghz edition. More specifically the one with the Gigabyte Windforce cooler slapped on to it. As a side note. You should work on your grammar.

Mummified frog, wow. God knows where these computers have been.

SSD's don't make nearly any difference at all in gaming. However, loading times would decrease by tons and tons. Especially when loading the Playstation OS. (Don't know the name of it).

Just last summer i spilled a bowl of popcorn on my PC. It might not seem that bad, but I LOVE salt! (It will probably be the end of me). As you can imagine this bowl of popcorn was crammed with salt, the bowl fell over, and salt fell inside my PC through venting holes, being sucked into fans and thrown everywhere into every little corner of my case. Thankfully I managed to clean it all away, at least most of it. After that I din't think more of it. After about 2 weeks, there were some salt remains still inside my PC, it seems the salt had been eroding on my motherboard at the feet of the PCIe slot, causing it to simply die. Therefore i had to RMA the motherboard, and got a new one a couple of days later.

I'm not sure if this should be in networking or here in this sub forum. If not, moderators can re-locate the thread to the networking sub forum. I'm seriously considering getting a NAS for personal use, work, and general backup of data. As for the NAS i'm not sure which one I want to go for, whether that be a home built NAS or a factory built NAS. But i'll figure that out for myself in due time. Anyways. I want to be able to reach the files stored on my NAS from a network outside of my network at home. i.e while travelling or staying at a hotel, restaurant etc. Does anyone know of any decent software I could use to access my data from a different network then my own at home? If you have any experience with the software then please tell me about that as well. The software has to be compatible with Linux and Windows. Replies are much appreciated.

Sounds like a "no-post" situation. According to what you've told us it seems to be very likely a motherboard issue. I don't think that one of the Windows/Linux/MAC OS bootfiles are corrupt, because the machine doesn't even give off a post beep. (Have you checked the beep microphone btw)? Are you sure your buddy hasn't spilled any drinks/food inside the case somehow? It happened to me once, I managed to spill a bowl of popcorn on top of my PC. I cleaned it all away, but after a couple of weeks the salt from the popcorn had started "eroding"(?) on my motherboard. The consequence for me was that i had to switch out my motherboard for a new one. After switching it out, my computer worked fine again, and has until this day! :) *knock on wood*

I'm disappointed that they didn't include an SSD instead of a "built in harddrive". I know that they are trying to keep the costs of the machine at a minimum, but an SSD would speed up the machine by a significant margin compared to a HDD.

I have the i7 3770K. I've experienced mostly nothing but good things with Intel CPUs. Low temperatures, High performance, decent overclocking and easy to install to the motherboard. All of these factors vary based on what Intel CPU you decide to buy. Do some research beforehand, and decide for yourself what fits you and your demands.

I would recommend running Linux on your server to minimize costs. Since you're planning to host a website as well, I would recommend Enterprise or RED drives from Western Digital. You could also get a prebuilt NAS here. http://ncix.com/products/index.php?minorcatid=1191

FX-4300 will be the one carrying the GTX 660/670 up the hill.

Oh. I'm sorry, no there's only space for 200x200x30 fans in the front. Also, the front panel is very tricky to remove, but possible none the least. No I have not switched the front fan, I'm still using the stock one.

Yes. you can swap it with any fan as long as it has the right dimensions.

A few things: CPU: I know it might be tempting to buy the 3770K, but believe me, if you're going to be playing games mostly, then go for the 3570K, and save some money. There's no difference between those CPU's when it comes down to gaming performance. RAM: 32GB is a LOT of RAM, I dare you to even use half of that when playing games, Save yourself some more money and ease up with the amount of RAM you have here. PSU: As mentioned by Whaler and Dave, 1200W is a bit overkill on the powersupply, I couldn't really come up with a better suggestion myself, so like Dave and Whaler said; the 860i would be great as you could use Corsair Link together with the H100i. Apart from all that the build looks amazing, good luck with it!

That PC will work like a monster for years to come. However I would switch out the CPU cooler as it is hard to clean to get rid of dust. By the way. What do you plan on using your computer for? Gaming, Basic browsing, work, 3D modeling/rendering, folding etc? It would be nice to know, because then we could judge your selection of hardware based upon what you're going to use it for, right?

If you want to enhance your movie and gaming experience I'd strongly recommend a high end soundcard. If that's not for you, then save the money. Your rig is very much up to date still.

Yes, of course this is not the most advanced of lie detectors currently known to man, but it will definately work on simple lies connected to "yes" or "no" answers. You see, when you lie the electrical resistance in your skin goes down, which will be detected by the electrodes, which wil either result in diodes or an alarm making a sound. I haven't figured out which to use yet, but i'm probably just going to look at diodes as they are easier to set up in the circuit.

Thanks. I will be doing more research into the website, to see if it's somewhere worth ordering from :)

I'm trying to keep the costs at a minimum, so I will be using a bread board, which I can hopefully borrow at my school.

I am in the process of making my own lie detector, not really for any good reason. It's just a fun little thing I could do when bored. Actually there is a use for it. I'm suspecting my little brother for stealing cigarettes from me, so I guess i'll bust him, if that's the case though. Anyway. As for the schematic of the circuit it looks a little bit like this: I've already checked the datasheets of the components, so I know what voltages, and how many Ohm resistors I need, and so on, so I know what components I need. This is the list of components I need: R1 = 33k Ohm 1/4W Resistor R2 = 5K Ohm Resistor R3 = 1.5K Ohm 1/4W Resistor C1 = 1uF 16V Electrolytic capacitor Q1 = 2N3565 NPN (Negative Positive Negative) Transistor M1 = 0-1 mA Analog meter Misc = Wires, electrodes etc. ​Question is: Do anyone know where I can get a hold of these components listed above? (Preferrably somewhere in Europe/ Northern Europe, but not a necessity).

Last summer I built my first Intel-based computer I got me the i7 3770K, it works like a charm, and is faster than the speed of light. However, i've always had this special bond with AMD products. Every computer i've had since I think it was 1997 (?) were AMD based. Through all of the memorable games i've played, all programs ran, and all of the benchmarks, general number crunchings, and overclockings were processed by an AMD CPU. Up until now of course. When the first bunch of Bulldozer CPU's were announced, I was extatic to say the least. I thought this would be the generation where AMD would rise from the ashes, and take the crown from Intel! Sadly I was wrong. The bulldozers flopped, and I was in need of a new CPU, so I went with Intel for the first time, and hopefully the last time. I really hope AMD have something up their sleeve, maybe for the next generation of sockets, I don't know, but hopefully some day, I will make the switch back.
