  1. My favorite thing about the phone would probably be the shear level of customization possibilities when it comes to tweaking the user experience. Definitely substantially more tweaking than in iOS.
  2. Actually it will fit just fine, an SSI-CEB mobo is only marginally wider than ATX (I fit one in my Define R4). Duly noted, go for the Rampage IV Black then
  3. PCPartPicker part list: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bvbb Price breakdown by merchant: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bvbb/by_merchant/ Benchmarks: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3bvbb/benchmarks/ CPU: Intel Core i7-4930K 3.4GHz 6-Core Processor ($576.99 @ SuperBiiz) Motherboard: Asus P9X79-E WS SSI CEB LGA2011 Motherboard ($464.99 @ Amazon) Memory: Corsair Dominator Platinum 32GB (4 x 8GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($449.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Intel 520 Series Cherryville 480GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($524.99 @ Amazon) Storage: Western Digital WD Black 4TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($249.98 @ OutletPC) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($719.99 @ Newegg) Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB Video Card (2-Way SLI) ($719.99 @ Newegg) Case: Corsair 900D ATX Full Tower Case ($279.99 @ Micro Center) Power Supply: Corsair 860W 80+ Platinum Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($189.99 @ NCIX US) Total: $4176.90 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) (Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-03-17 13:48 EDT-0400) Didn't include monitors since you made it sound like he already has them. Also didn't include a CPU Cooler because you can do a custom loop (I would have included loop parts but I honestly know nothing about building loops)
  4. Three monitors, SLI 780ti, i7-4930K, 32GB 1600MHz (or higher) CL9 RAM, P9X79-E WS, 750D or 900D (if you want to go crazy with a custom loop), and at least a 860w PSU
  5. I spent about $2600 USD, just finished building it a few weeks ago. Still have a few things to buy for it to streamline my experience (i.e. 27" monitor (might go 4K), mechanical keyboard, a second SSD, better mechanical drives (my current drive is a 5400rpm WD Green that I took out of an external hard drive), and maybe get a second GTX 780 for SLI.)
  6. The PSU just makes a click noise and nothing happens. EDIT: just tried spinning the fan with my hand and it started spinning up now. So it's just not getting enough power or? I even tried it with a different fan and the same thing is happening. So I'm thinking maybe the little fan switch thing on the motherboard needs to be swapped. EDIT: played around with the fan channel selector and now the fan is working perfectly! And before my two exhaust fans were only spinning around 350-400 rpm when working, now they're spinning at 750-850 rpm!
  7. I meant same thing as in it works after I turn the PSU off and back on, haha, my bad on not being more specific. EDIT: Is the self-test light on the AX760i always supposed to be on?
  8. Alright, so I tried other fans, and they all worked but only after I flipped the power switch on the PSU off and back on. Put the original fan back and the same thing is happening.
  9. I have not tried channel 2 or 3 headers, but I shall do that right now.
  10. I'm using the Corsair AX760i. And I put a different fan in and the same thing happened to it, worked the first time then restarted and it wouldn't spin.
  11. Damn, I literally just finished building this computer like 2ish weeks ago. I'll check right now and get back to you. One thing I'd like to note is that this same thing happened to me last night. But it was working again after I unplugged the computer, unplugged the fan, plugged the fan back in, and plugged the computer back in. Could it be something to do with power?
  12. I have a Noctua NF-A14 that is being used as an exhaust fan on the top of my Define R4, and it won't spin. Every now and then it will spin very shortly, but only a very small amount (like an 1/8 of a rotation) then dies back down. It just keeps doing this. It is also making a noise whenever it does this. If necessary, I have an ASUS P9X79 WS, and the fan in plugged into the Channel 4 fan header on the top right of the board near the 24-pin. EDIT: Also not getting any RPM readings in AI Suite.
  13. Update! Managed to get access to command prompt as an administrator, used shutdown /r /o and then went into repair mode. Had a system restore point from yesterday and loaded that. Everything works like a charm again!
  14. How do I go about booting into safe mode? Because its BSoDs every single time, but I can still log in sometimes. I literally can't run anything on the computer at all, no access to C:\ files and no access to E:\ (my storage drive).
