My favorite thing about the M8 is the front facing speakers. I would love to finally toss my IPhone 5s in garbage.

I have had the same issue on two different laptops. Are you running windows 7? If so it was a driver issue for me. Go to device manager locate your video card and uninstall, remove all drivers. I like to use drive sweeper. Make sure Windows 7 has all updates installed. Once drivers are erased restart PC and let windows 7 install basic drivers and then load your latest non beta driver. Hope this helps. Worked for me on two laptops.

This is one hell of a deal. I just bought the 120GB Samsung Evo. Great drive but this is $23 less for the Kingston. and 240GB for $128. BUY IT!

I just installed a ASUS 780 DC. The thing is a beast. I replaced a AMD XFX 7870 and before that I had a AMD XFX 5870. The 7870 would run at 50C -60C in my case when gaming the 5870 would go up to 80C unless I cranked the fan to 80%. The ASUS 780 runs in game at 36C after one hour of BF3 and the fans are on auto. At idle it runs at 25C-26C. My case (Fractal ARC Midi) is air cooled with one intake fan. It is so quiet I opened the case to see if the fans were spinning. I had on order a 290X and cancelled it and picked this up after reading about the 2900x running so hot and loud. I didn't want to go back to the days of my XFX GT 8800 heating up my room and running at 90C. Oh ya I got three games with the purchase. paid $499 on Black Friday. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=88434&vpn=GTX780%2DDC2OC%2D3GD5&manufacture=Others So very happy with the purchase and the drivers and software is so much better than what AMD has and I would have called myself a AMD fan based on price to performance.

I went with this card. I like it and I had gotten it on sale for $79. Easy install. http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=83552&vpn=70SB150000000&manufacture=Creative%20Labs

I have used a plasticoat paint that I bought at home depot and painted my front header wires black. The case is 4 years old and has never cracked and I have bent them a lot. Sleaving looks much better but for $8 in paint you are done.

I would go with a smaller case. The Fractal Arc Midi 2. Shop NCIX or Newegg you can pick it up on sale for under $100 and it has a lot of versatility and very good ventilation.

I would go with a single GPU. If you are looking to only spend $200 I would go with a XFX 7870 or similar or better spend $300 and get a R9 280x.

Does the link still work when you then sign into your account? I use LastPass as password generator and keeper. I ordered something today. trying to make sure you get credit I just don't know that I did it correctly.

I am ok with less unboxing's but only if you can get Esther to do more at NCIX
