apu will be plenty powerful for 1080p

Hey everyone, I've become interesting in the 21:9 aspect ratio monitors, I just want to know your thoughts about them and if you have one what your experience has been on it compared to a 16:9/16:10 monitor? Do you find gaming and media consumption better or worse? Any weird compatibility issues? Thanks Ethan

780 is nearly titan performance, a 7970 which is like two generations old now WILL not out perform it.

Hi, I have a new HTC One and just wanna know so I need an anti-virus app like Avast?

I think the radiator is sweet! gives it a real industrial look!!!! I think you should keep it, maybe polish it up then it would be awesome!

Snapshot sounds perfect for what I want, just wanted to know the difference :) Thanks everyone for all your help!

well then what would you recommend?

"nas" is network accessed storage, it will run over WIFI so i can access the content on all computers, gaming consoles as well as tv's, it may be hardwired to my main rig but there are plenty others devices that i will wish to access content on

I plan to add a nas onto it, so I wish to stream movies as well as store and access large files from it

Hi, I live in a 2 story house with my router being downstairs and my main rig being upstairs. My question is will powerline be faster/ better choice or would wireless ac be better?

whats the difference between the Xonar st/stx and the Xonar dg?

Will the audio interface work properly and without any trouble with games, itunes, vlc player, youtube? or will i have to go through and adjust alot of settings?

Had a quick look around, can anyone tell what these would be like in comparison to the essence with active studio monitors http://audiotrends.com.au/Cambridge_Audio_DacMagic_100_Black.html?action=viewProduct&itemId=1625 (With A5+ or Studio Monitors) http://audiotrends.com.au/Denon_DM_39_Black.html?action=viewProduct&itemId=1861 http://www.apollohifi.com.au/index.php?page=shop.product_details&flypage=flypage.tpl&product_id=1206&category_id=46&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=80 (With A5+ or Studio Monitors)

Hey, My budget is around 500-600 Australian all up, that includes dac/amp as well as speakers(if that's possible), It will be just used on the desk in my bedroom, I want to be able to use headphones as well as play through a set of good quality active speakers. What I'm asking is it worth paying extra to go from a Xonar Essence Stx to the Essence one? and are there any alternatives to an essence one for around the same price? I guess in essence i want a 2.0/2.1 active speaker system that runs through a high quality sound car or dac. I hope this helps and thanks for all your advice so far, its very helpful :)

Hi will the Asus Xonar essences stx and a set of 5" - 8" studio monitors sound good? or will using a essence one be better? or are there any alternatives? I want really good computer audio not just for gaming but for music and movies as well, however I'm unsure how to achieve this. I know onboard audio is very poor quality but whats the best way to get good audio without going into $10000 audiophile equipment?

Had a quick skim over your tutorial (looks awesome! I'll read it fully later) and saw that there was an option for either snap shot or real time, if its not to much trouble could you explain the difference between the two? Thanks :)

what kind of cpu power would i need?

Thanks for all the help, cant wait to see the tutorial :)

also what raid would be best for this situation?

Media mainly, photos, videos and general files

Hi, I'm planning on building a nas using four 2tb wd red drives, I want a raid card to run all this but I'm having trouble choosing so I was wanting some suggestions please. I don't wanna spend much, so suggest more budget friendly cards but keep in mind I still want a good card. Thanks Ethan

Hey guys post links to cool computer swag or geek swag, wanna deck my room out :)

Yeah i thought that too until Linus and slick both said youtube doesnt count ads if adblock in enabled, so lets all get rid of it! Yay!!

Hey everyone, just thought I hopefully start a trend of sorts to turn off adblock on my browser so Linus can eat! I know we all hate ads on youtube but because Linus gives us so much I hope we can all give back a little by watching some crappy ads on youtube :) Thanks

would a raid card improve performance?
