  1. Never mind, I found it. Was bookmarked in a browser I no longer used. Silly me. Anyway, for reference, the supplier is called iCTABLE: http://www.ictable.com/
  2. Hi, so a while back I remember stumbling across a certain custom desk supplier (I think I may have found it through LTT) which made really awesome custom desks. The starting prices of the desks I was looking at was around ~$1000 AU and at the time I remember thinking they were to expensive but I would return when I had some cash to spare. However, I can't for the life of me find the website again. Pretty much all the desks came with cool LED lighting, support for up to 6 monitors (depending on the model, but a big selling point for me) and a generally modular design which could include, multiple spaces for custom PCs, consoles and any other tech you might want to put in there, along with useful features such as native water cooling and cable management infrastructure built into the desk. These are just a few of the many features available in their line up of desks, but hopefully this will help you guys find the website/supplier I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.
  3. Yeah the 980 is looking like the better choice, I was just hoping to avoid spending the $$. And what's wrong with talking about Hackintosh?
  4. TL;DR; Converting PC to Hackintosh (Specs below), is the RX 480 well supported enough to make it a good cheaper alternative to the GTX 980? So my PC currently runs a nearly 18 month old system containing an R9 390X GPU. However, I am looking to convert my PC from a primarily windows machine to a hackintosh (which will also run linux, and maybe windows, for what little gaming I still do). All parts currently installed in my PC are compatible with macOS with the exception of my GPU, which I am now looking to swap out/ upgrade. Now as best as I can tell, Nvidia's pascal line up still does not support macOS and isn't looking likely to support it any time in the near future. Which leaves the previous, well supported GTX 980 (980ti and Titan X are out of my budget) as my next best option. However, the GTX 980's price hasn't dropped as much as I would've liked and I noticed rumors of support for AMD's RX series cards which massively low ball the price of any competing Nvidia GPU. So my question is, how well supported is the RX 480? Is it going to run with macOS as easily or nearly as easily as a GTX 980 would? Or is it going to cause me enough grief to make it worth while spending nearly double the money to buy the GTX 980? Also, just out of curiosity, how does the RX 480 fair against the GTX 980 performance wise? Just in case there's any compatibility issues, I'm also listing the rest of my build here: Intel i7 4790K Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler AMD R9 390X (To be swapped out) MSI Z97 Gaming 5 Motherboard Kingston Hyper X Fury DDR3 1866MHz (2 x 8GB) Kingston 240 GB SSD Western Digital 1TB Blue HDD ANTEC 520W PSU PLEASE NOTE: I'm from Australia, so keep that in mind when listing PC parts to buy.
  5. Hey so just a quick question, When running AMD crossfire, are there any compatibility issues related to different brands? Eg. can I run a R9 390x made by Gigabyte with another R9 390x made by MSI and not have a problem? While I'm here, are there compatibility issues with different GPUs, eg. R9 390x and R9 Fury?
  6. Have you got a recommendation for the two monitors either side?
  7. TL;DR; Is the Dell an all round better monitor? Or should I opt for the higher resolution monitor, if so, is the differencein price (~$500 AUD) between the 25in and 29in worth it for the 4 extra inches? Hence decreasing the pixel density. Keep in mind, I'll be buying 3 of my selected monitor and price plays a big factor in my decision. So I'm struggling to lock in a decision and need some advice, here's where I stand: It'll be a multi-monitor setup so I'll be buying 3 of my chosen monitor. Prices: Dell U2414H - $335 * 3 = $1010 AUD LG 25UM57-P $225 * 3 = $675 AUD LG 29UM57-P $399 * 3 = $1197 AUD What I do (in order of priority): University Work/Software Development/Auto cad/Engineering Stuff A LOT of Multitasking Gaming (Although multi-monitor gaming will be messed around with, it is not the purpose and one monitor will be used most the time.) Ideal Target Specs/Goals: Must have IPS Must have VESA Must Be able to hook 3 of the monitor up to my GPU (which has 2x Dual Link DVI, 1x HDMI and 1x DP1.2 as outputs) without losing quality. Ultrathin Bezels (The thinner the better) Higher resolution is preferable Price is important, lower is better Dell: Pros: - Covers everything on check list except price and higher resolution. - Really good reviews. - Highly adjustable stand. - Very aesthetically pleasing. - Daisy chaining capable. - Better all round monitor. Cons: - Rumored amongst users (no mention in the reviews) to have problems running with DP. - Price, won't be able to buy all 3 monitors at once, will have to stagger purchase. LG 25: Pros: - Covers everything on the check list. - Price is really cheap considering it's features. - Price. Again. Deserves mentioning twice since I'll be able to buy all 3 monitors at once if I choose this option. Cons: - Not many reviews. - Bezel is slightly thicker than the dell. - Apparently the high pixel density caused by the low panel size to high resolution ratio is not desirable. LG 29: Pros: - Solves the pixel density problem of the LG 25 Cons: - Most expensive option, not really wanting to spend that much, but if it comes highly recommended, and given the resolution, I might consider. In summary, I'm leaning towards the LG 25, but am still considering the Dell, I probably won't go the LG 29 unless someone can sell me on it. If you've made it this far, thank you for your time and advice!
