  1. I'd like it cause I'm running a GTX 950 and never used ATI/AMD before, would be a great way to experience the red side of things...
  2. ohh Linus, you had it easier than when I was in school, my first pc was a NEC 433 CD3 which came with a 486 processor to run my first experience of DOS 5 to control this nifty new thing called windows 3.1! My first pc games I ever played on it was Myst, Phantasmagoria, and The 7th Guest! Ahhh.. those were the days when a hard drive spin ran louder than any fan you could put in a pc and games came on this magical new disk they called a CD... Hey! I found an old ebay listing of one:http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEC-READY-433CD3-486-WITH-36MB-and-NO-HARD-DRIVE-/262224419802?hash=item3d0dcb1bda%3Ag%3A0qMAAOSw5dNWitPo&nma=true&si=P3wT6umz19YEiL5%252FunYw%252BC%252F16Wc%253D&orig_cvip=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557
  3. Hello guys and gals, I need some AMD CPU upgrade advice... I was given an old Emachines SFF PC named El1331G-01W and I'm confused about updating the processor in it since I have always delt with Intel based stuffage.. I have no experience in AMD processors and how they are named or whats compatable with what... By running cpuid I've deciphered it currently has an AMD Athlon Neo MV-28 code named Huron, and after quite a bit of digging on Google and Emachines (now Acer) support with very little result, I was able to find this processor is refered to as an "AMD Athlon 2850e dual-core 1.8ghz" via this thread: https://forums.techguy.org/threads/solved-emachines-el1333g-01w-cpu-upgrade-help-please.1057826/ . That being said I'm looking to find the best and fastest CPU upgrade that I can install into this motherboard to try and use this as a possible HTPC/Gaming rig, (just using it now the way it is on LOTRO is mind-numbing with lag) but since I've no clue how AMD processors are listed I'm at a loss of where to begin... could someone help me out in choosing the best processor for this machine? Is my motherboard capable of running a quad or more core cpu? I read in the referenced thread above that the motherboard would only accept a chip that will run no higher than 95w, is this true? I have bigger wattage PSUs lying around than whats installed and dont mind to mod a bit (since I've already added a couple extra fans already) if it will make it work with a better cpu.. Currently installed in the system is a low-profile Gigabit Lan in the pcie x1 and a fanless Radeon HD 6450, with Win10 Pro on a Team L3 120gb SSD running 4gb DDR2 Dual Channel Value Memory and a DL DVDRW+ from Plextor. Thanks again for your time in responding to my dilemma, it is much appreciated!
  4. I want the mouse because the left button on my Logitech mouse has been freaking out the past 3 or so years and makes for terrible fun trying to do basic stuff on a desktop that uses double left clicking like.. oh I don't know, just trying to run a program! LOL
  5. Hi guys and gals, I'm new here so I'm not sure where we are supposed to post suggestions for upcoming unboxing vids, so mods please feel free to move this wherever.. I'm totally new to this water cooling idea, for the most part I've always build myself air cooled pcs for fear of the price tags of adding components coupled with the inexperience that I have with water cooling. That being said I've always been interested in starting out down this path but never came to actually going through with it, till I saw this case while browsing newegg yesterday and I'm intrigued by the low-ish price for a complete stylishly water-cooled solution case. Its not due to be released on newegg till 03/01/2016 so when it does I would be anxious to see everyone's take on it before I consider shelling out the cash... Here's the newegg listing: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811853030 and the mfg page: http://www.deepcool.com/product/gamerstorm/2016-01/6_4561.shtml Would this be a decent box for someone starting down this road?
