  1. I was looking at the Intel boards on Newegg and happened to notice something. The ASUS Sabertooth Z87 board is priced at $222.99. However, under the volume discounts when buying 2-4 of the board it is priced at $124.00 each. I added 2 to my cart to make sure that it came up with this price and it did. So you could get 2 of the board for about $30 more than just buying 1. It's a pretty good deal if maybe you and a friend were both looking into a new build or if you just wanted a backup board. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131976
  2. I would normally read through this whole thread to find an answer before posting this but I'm about to leave for work. The only thing I have left to buy in order to upgrade my server is my RAID card. I am going to have some 2TB drives that will not fit into my case, I have a 4-Bay Mediasonic box that is currently unused and plan on putting the drives into it. My question is, if I hook the Mediasonic box up to my computer with eSata will it be part of my total storage space on the list? It will be hooked to the server 24/7 so I'm pretty sure the answer is yes but, I just wanted to double check.
  3. Got an update coming within the next couple of weeks. Complete rebuild and another 12 TB added.
  4. Was just getting ready to post the same thing until I saw this thread. My buddy got the K70 RGB with the old logo about 2 weeks ago from the Corsair website, It's also available on newegg.com. www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823816022&cm_re=k70-_-23-816-022-_-Product
  5. Found the channel back when the LanBoy Air came out. Ended up buying it as the case for my first build.

  8. I wonder if this is what @Slick looks like after a week with no sleep.
  9. Since posting this I have acquired the funds to buy a new modular power supply. However, I've decided that I am going to go through with the project. I figure it will be a fun mod to do, and I need practice sleeving smaller wires, in my day job I'm used to working with up to 0000 AWG wire/cable. Once I buy all the connectors I need I'm going to get started. And since there will be absolutely no PSU modification, only cable modification then I don't see any foreseeable problems. On a side note, I have extensive experience with wiring harnesses, crimping, etc.... as I build wiring harnesses that are used in trains and various other methods of transport.
  10. That's what I meant. I would not be adding anything that isn't already there. Basically just shortening the cables and making extensions. No intentions of adding stuff that isn't already there.
  11. I may have to check that one out when the time comes.
  12. I would just buy another power supply, but I don't currently have the funds to do so. I would not be adding stuff that is already there, just putting in a "breakaway" spot. That way the stuff I don't need, such as the GPU power I would be able to remove it and if I use the PSU in a different build later on down the road just hook it back up. Here's an example of where I would add the connectors. Pic is not of PSU I want to do this too. I would be doing something like this. This is a PSU that I had in an old computer, it had short cables with connectors that plugged into longer cables.
  13. If you don't mind waiting and saving the money then MDPC is definitely the way to go, I have seen a couple rigs in person that have it and it looks beautiful.
  14. Haha, I wish. I'm cheap/poor and paying of student loans, so cheap cards from Monoprice are fine with me for now. Just waiting til I get paid to order a new one, I have one somewhere but cannot find it. I plan on getting this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101358 at some point in the near future.
