Advertising.

This is what i call an ridiculously awsome motherboard!

It does not take 450$ per device do develop it. And shame Apple for being closed-source and spending manpower on their own OS.

HOLY SHIT! An actual MARS II!

Tjose tings are indestrucatble. My friend has over 22000 hours uptime on it, beign a SAMP Mining active time mining rig. Was on 24/7 for over 2 years. No restarts.

Companies invest in advertising that i do not want to pay for. Since I have a degree in electronics, I am going to estimate the true value of a product's manufacture cost. In other words, are you paying for the name or the product? Feel free to suggest more and/or edits. MOTHERBOARDS: ASUS ASUS ROG Series - Paying for name (any ROG board) ASUS TUF Series - Paying for name (Sabertooh X99, Sabertooh Z97 etc.) ASUS Workstation boards - True value (Z97-WS, X99E-WS etc.) ASUS Consumer series - Unbalanced > Any board that has a "seprate, isolated" Audio board is marketing. For it to be isolated it needs to be optocoupled. ASRock ASRock boards have generally good value, the company being small and not investing a lot in ads. GIGABYTE GIGABYTE G1 Gaming Series - Paying for name GIGABYTE UD Series - True value GIGABYTE Ultra Durable - True value GIGABYTE OC Series - True value* * These are purpose-build motherboards specifically for overclocking, thus the high price is justified. MSI Enthusiast GAMING - Paying for name Performance GAMING - Paying for name PRO Series - True value OC Series - True value* ECO - True value** Classic - Unbalanced*** * Again, purpose build boards, better components, higher price. ** TUV Certification is met due to the build quality *** The Z and X series chipset boards are good. GRAPHICS CARDS Graphics cards are purpose-build components and rely heavily on advertisement to generate income, thus all are expensive. The simple rule is to avoid low-profile cards for gaming builds. STORAGE HDD Western Digtal - True value Seagate - True value HGST - True value SSD Intel - Paying for name/True value* Kingston - Paying for name/True value* Patriot - True value ADATA - True value SanDisk - True value Transcend - True value Crucial - True value SAMSUNG - Paying for name * Depends on series MEMORY Kingston HyperX Fury Series - True value Kingston HyperX Savage Series - True value Kingston HyperX Predator Series - Paying for name Kingston Value - True value Corsair Dominator/Venegance - Paying for name Corsair ValueSelect - True value Mushkin - True value G.Skill - Paying for name OCZ - True value CASES Can't estimate, not electronics. (Common sense - over 80$ is too much) PSU's SeaSonic - True value Silverstone - True value Corsair - Paying for name EVGA - True value/Paying for name* Antec - True value Cooler Master - Paying for name OCZ - True value List will be extended soon with peripherals, stand by...

If your CPU is at 100% all the time and your GPU is hovering below 100% at around 60-80% then yes.

I smell $$$

Just sayin, kay, wont happen again! xoxo <3 :*

Good price on those, are they any good? Do the have the umpfhhh? "Uhmpfhh" https://youtu.be/9RMKrpzoMkE?t=1m13s

Lenovo has superior hadrware compatibility. Do not worry about the screen, and if they are physically the same, sure, it will work.

No, im not saying: "MAC OS X SUCKS, WIN IS BEST, LINUX SUCKS HAXOR 420 1337 WINFTW" I'm just saying, if he does not use any specific Mac software he just can install Windows (or Linux), if he uses his MacBook to browse the web and listen to music if his OS X locks up all the time. Just sayin, if i knew anything about Mac i would be willing to help Im equal when it comes to OS's. I will use what works. Here OS X doesn't
