  1. I like it. LOL but in reality, he probably would be using android if he wasn't able to just go to the assembly line and pick up whatever phone he wants whenever he wants. LOL
  2. Weird. I had bought a corsair GS800 power supply and it only lasted me less than a year and it would spike and randomly turn off. I dont trust them anymore. I switched to an NZXT power supply. Try this: I got that quote from : http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/42440-readme-how-to-respond-to-a-no-post-or-no-power-up-situation/ Good luck I know how frustrating this is! Especially on Christmas and trying to get your son involved on this. Hopefully we get this solved.
  3. You may or may not have to change it. I have Kingston Hyper X Beast ram and am worried about if I get a cooler, will it fit. So I'm unsure myself. Just wanted to help you out here so you didn't run into what I am currently up against in the future. Theres even ram that looks cool that doesn't have a badass cooler. Like this. I don't know about this particular ram, I haven't researched it, but I just searched for the same speed you had selected. But it is a "lower profile" than something like the Hyper X Beast http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104472&ignorebbr=1&cm_re=ddr3_1866-_-20-104-464-_-Product See here's my ram. You can see where the card ends and how much the cooler sticks up above the ram. i have heard this can cause problems with certain air coolers. I don't know which ones. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104497&cm_re=hyperx_beast-_-20-104-497-_-Product
  4. I would just try to make sure that your CPU cooler will fit over your ram. If it doesn't you may have to get some low profile ram or some without a fancy cooler
  5. OK sounds good. thanks everybody. This was my main reason for considering upgrading... Maybe next time I suppose. I'm not having problems. I just want more. I enjoy building/modifying computers and want to tinker with mine again. Plus the plan when I built this was to upgrade it as I go to stay on top of the tech. After 3 years, I'm replacing it. 2015 will be the third year. I just enjoy building.
  6. Hello all, Here is my build. Couldn't find my case on there it is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146080 Also note that on the build list, I have that exact ram, except two 4 GB sticks but that option wasn't available on pcpart picker. So I have 8GB total. I have a GTX770. I'm fairly happy with it. I want more though (for the future & star citizen) and am wanting your opinions on my options. Should I double up on the GTX770? Should I go with one better card? Should I switch to AMD and get one card or crossfire? etc All opinions are welcome here. I'm not going to snap at you if I don't agree with it. LOL Also note that planned upgrades in the future are another pair of my ram sticks, bringing the total to 16 GB and a CPU cooler of some sort along with some more storage (non SSD). Here is the build list of my current setup. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/rfbyZL Also, a third option here is to start slowly building a complete new setup. I have been considering this but have no clue what I would do with this computer. It sort of seems like a waste to me at this point to start over as I am happy with my current setup mostly. IF i choose to go with a new setup, 80% likely that it will be an all-AMD build.
  7. added you both. I usually can get on around 6-10 pm central U.S. time. Other than that, i'm working or sleeping. But on weekends, if i'm not racing, i'm game to game.
  8. Hey all, I've been pretty consumed with Chivalry this week. Pretty awesome game. If anybody plays, hit me up. I need practice. Lets go kill. Steam name is : BigRedOK When GTA Online releases, I'll need some people on the Playstation 3 to gang up with. My ps3 name is EskimoMansion also.. I believe. I haven't fired it up in forever. LOL I'll only be playing it on there until it comes out for PC next spring apparently. But still, I plan on logging insane hours this winter on it. So hit me up people. Let me know in the invite that you're from here and your name on here.
  9. I'm coming from an iPhone. I said, i'm not open to suggestions on phones. I really wanted one, but it wasn't available with the exact carrier options I wanted.
  10. Like the title says, I'm switching back to android. Basically, i first got into android when the HTC EVO 4G came out in white. I bought it and loved it! I loved android! Loved the phone. After a few months, the battery started to crap out on me in around an hour and get really hot. Also, the phone would freeze and it refused to update (i think that was my carrier's fault). Anyways, it turned out to be the most worthless thing I've ever purchased, ever.. So after that experience, i switched to the iPhone 4S. I really like it and its nice. Works really well, all the time. There's too much I don't like about it though.. So I'm switching back to Android because I really miss the features and customization options. Tomorrow after work, I'm buying the Samsung Galaxy S4 on AT&T. Yes, I'm set on that phone, yes. Yes I'm sure. Yes i'm double sure. For every post under here that says, " get the HTC one, i shall slay one unsuspecting minecraft player! lol " Anyways, what I'm looking for is useful apps and features that I should take advantage of. Obviously I'll figure these out on my own, but it would be nice to hear from you more-experienced android users. So what I'd like to know is what is your favorite thing about android, what are the "must-have" apps. I'm looking for cool tips and tricks. Like someone said something about dialing #0#? or something. Just tips and lesser known stuff about the phone or android would be cool. Also, does anybody have a case they can recommend for the S4? I've watched a lot of youtube videos on cool stuff about this, but still, this is a forum. You are tech people. I'd like to hear what you have to say. Also are there any things I need to have or need to do? Like some people said, that long ago you "had" to have a task manager. LOL I always thought they were a joke, but whatever. Thanks in advance.
  11. Oblivion. But my top two are Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas
  12. That looks amazing. I like it. Its hard to take my phone half the places i go on a daily basis because of weather, chemicals, and shock/damage. This would be awesome to have as a backup. I'm seriously considering it. Looking into it now.
  13. OK So i looked it up and it looks amazing! How do i get in?
