  1. Just finished putting together my DX Racer footrest. $130 well spent. I regret nothing. This changes the game.  #PCMR 

  2. Although I don't have an answer to this I feel your pain. My case LED turns my room into a strobe party every time I put it on sleep.
  3. Wondering which would be quieter as a front intake fan. I have the phanteks enthoo pro as a case so clearly it isn't a case built for silence with the front of it being open but wondering which would be quieter but still give me good airflow. If I were to switch to 2 140mm it would definitely being the Notcua NF-a14's.
  4. Just bought a DX Racer footrest. Ah what a wonderful time to be a part of PCMR. If anyone plans on ordering a chair/footrest soon I used a coupon code that took 10% off my order. Comment if you're interested. 

  5. Just curious, with a monitor as big as 34 inches it probably sits farther away from you than my 25 inch does, however I was wondering if you guys still use chrome default 100% zoom on pages or is the text so small on a display that size that you have to use some % of a zoom to see it when the monitor is farther away? Wondering if I should be sitting farther away from my monitor. Currently sitting near an arms length away, but just wanted to compare with others results..
  6. I found this on massdrop from a verity of different anime and other shows. Wondering if there's anything thing else out there that's currently avail for some MX Cherry switches. Thanks for the help.
  7. Looking to pick up a trackball and was looking at the kensington slimblade however when I found out it only had 1600 dpi, I knew that was't going to cut it (I'm used to around 3300 dpi) Does any have any good recommendations for wired trackballs with a higher dpi?
  8. Usually they can (Like the ones I got for behind the desk) but the ones I got for the monitor have like, extensions that are meant to connect them and bend so if I cut one strip I can't connect it to the next.
  9. Found out the strips are too long to fit on a 25 ultra-wide monitor... :'\ Need larger monitor or strips are shorter.
  10. Just curious... I don't really know a lot about video making, processing, and ect but was wondering if 21:9 will ever become the new 16:9 in terms of videos? Just curious seeing as how we made the jump from 4:3 to 16:9 but again I'm not big on the subject so I don't know what kind of complications there would be with trying to make 21:9 the new standard.
  11. I find the Intel i7 exclusive game content to be quite humorous as an i7 user. :P

  12. Then if using some LED's like these, listed at 5V. I only have a 25 inch ultrawide monitor so it's not comparable to what you'd need for a 40" TV. https://www.amazon.com/Maylit-Cabinet-Backlighting-Changing-Included/dp/B0183JJ7WG/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1480927746&sr=8-7&keywords=tv+led+strip That should be fine since the voltage is 5V and USB output is at 5V right?
  13. Just something like this https://www.amazon.com/Maylit-Cabinet-Backlighting-Changing-Included/dp/B0183JJ7WG/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1480927746&sr=8-7&keywords=tv+led+strip
  14. Found this on Userful USB guidlines and figured it was basically the same kind of statement you made, don't go too long. So basically if I only have to use a 1 meter cable it will be ok? And for powering something like the LED strips should I be getting a 2.0 extension to plug into a 2.0 slot or 3.0 extension for a 3.0 slot? "Userful does not recommend daisy chaining USB hubs or USB zero client devices. But if you absolutely must, be sure to use powered USB hubs when daisy chaining USB stations. The USB protocol specifies a maximum of 5 hubs ("hops") per USB port. If you need to use extension cables, ensure that the distance between the USB device and the computer/powered USB hub is not greater than 5 m (15 ft) to prevent voltage drops"
  15. Just looking into adding some more color to my setup and get some RGB glow behind my monitor. I want one that has a USB plug for power because my monitor is right next to my PC however, most the strips with USBs won't make it down under my desk and back up to USB slot on my PC. Would a basic USB extension cable work for powering the lights like I need to?
  16. Just looking to get someone a tablet as a gift and wanted to know which would be the better option. I like the fact of having the bigger screen on the Tab A but supposedly the Tab S models are great. Don't know which to go for.
  17. Just looking to add some rgb ambient lighting to my already rgb desk and pc and am trying to find a good lamp to put a Lifx bulb in.
  18. Oh, it's just a gift for someone. They'll just it browsing purposes, email management, facebook ect.
  19. Looking for something for mainly browsing purposes for a non-gamer. Was looking at the samsung galaxy tab A 10.1 but people are saying it isn't good because the updates are cut off or whatever. So is there any other suggestions?
  20. thank you guys this did clear it up for me.
  21. I watched the WAN show and I saw that net neutrality is a topic up for discussion because of Trump being elected. I'm not well versed in politics and want to know what the net neutrality laws changing mean for an internet user such as myself. From what I understand the basics of net neutrality having the internet "open" so you can browse and go to any sites you want (basically) but the forces that oppose the neutrality revolve around companies making you pay more money for a faster internet connection, but what I don't understand is how is that any different from what my ISP (Time Warner Cable or Spectrum now) is doing by having different internet package deals ex. Basic = 10mbps, Turbo = 20mbps. I read articles stating that this will be a problem for internet users such as Netflix users, and although I don't use netflix, I primarily watch videos on my computer. TLDR: Trump is president. I watch videos. What does it mean for someone like me if the laws get changed?
  22. I just have mine plugged into my motherboard using the standard 3.5 headphone cable it comes with. If I were to use them in an audio interface instead of straight into my PC would I notice any great changes in audio quality? I don't do a lot of professional audio work or anything mostly just watching videos and wasn't sure if something as simple as an audio interface would make any drastic changes.
  23. Getting it for someone who is very accompanied with Samsung devices (Galaxy S5). Just wondering which is a better option? Looking for something around/under $300 USD (I know the surface 3 is more than that but I plan on purchasing said item on black Friday or cyber Monday). Didn't know how the older model of the surface would compare against the newer Galaxy Tab A 10.1 inch. Just looking for something to browse/email/facebook on mainly. TLDR: good tablet around/under $300 USD for browsing purposes?
