  1. Depends on your budget. Also, do you want higher resolution or higher refresh rate? Are you playing competitively, or just casually? There's no one good monitor.
  2. Gateway went out of business years ago. I've been fortunate enough to never have had to deal with insurance companies on this sort of thing, but odds are you aren't going to be able to get much for it. I don't know what parts are inside, but I'd guess a max of $100 value. This guy found one for $85.
  3. Phanteks P300, eh? Taking a quick look, here's some ideas Paint the colored pieces to whatever color you desire Etch the tempered glass side panel Make your own custom braided cables Really it'll come down to whatever you want it to look like in the end
  4. My friend is the one entering, but I posted the video on YouTube. Is that acceptable?
  5. Really interested in what model thunderbolt expansion card was used, I'm looking to buy one for myself.
  6. This would be the perfect replacement to the huge TV I still have in my basement.
  7. I am looking for a low profile/top-down CPU cooler. I have a Corsair C70 Vengeance (ATX) and have plenty of room for larger coolers (currently have the CM Hyper 212 Evo). However, I find my current cooler, and most other large coolers like it rather ugly. I am a man of aesthetics, and these just don't "do it for me." I'm trying to avoid any form of liquid cooling, and while they are very pleasing to the eye, I have heard far too many horror stories of them leaking (if anyone could persuade me otherwise, that would be awesome). In short, does anyone know of a top-down CPU cooler that is on-par with the performance of a CM Hyper 212 Evo? Any feedback is much appreciated. Current PC Parts List
