Looks awesome! Can't wait to see the UV effects

I love it! Nice!

I beleive it was: Pentium II 233MHz 64MBs RAM A motherboard (;P) 200W PSU Rage 64 GPU CompUSA Beige Case CD-ROM 24x Windows 95 Mind you I don't know everything about the computer because I had it when I was 4-5ish? Now the first computer I ever built completely on my own with my own parts was: Athlon II X2 250 MSI 760GM-P33 G.SKILL 2x4GB DDR3 1333MHz "NS Series" Sapphire Radeon 6450 1GB DDR3 Rosewill Stallion 400W PSU APEX Vortex 3620mini WD Blue 500GB SATA 3.0Gbps HDD LITE-ON DVD-ROM SATA ODD

I'm just gonna cover a few points because I could write a 18-post long entry. First Impressions: WOW! This phone is fast as hell, sounds f*cking amazing, is built extremely well, the interface looks awesome and works great, the reception is a solid improvement over the iPhone 5, and just over all is a extraordinary example of what HTC should have done all along to capture the market. Display: It looks sharp, accurate, just very very nice. It gets very bright and very dim when needed, and auto-brightness is pretty spot-on for needed situations. I saw no problems with bleeding or tints, just one stuck pixel, but honestly I can live with it because I'd really rather not take it back and have to re-set-up everything. Sound: As I said before, WOW! The marketing of the "BoomSound" speakers is not crap, it really is as amazing as they make it seem. The stereo experience is something we take for granted on a desktop or most laptops, so on a phone, it really blows you away and makes you appreciate it so much more. As much as Beats Audio seems like a scam, it really does make music sound better, at least over the built in-speakers. Voices sound clearer and more rich, and music generally has more range and tends to be a bit bass heavy, but for me at least, it's fine considering most of what I listen to is EDM and hip hop. Worst case scenario you could disable Beats all together and download another EQ from the Play Store. Over headphones audio also tends to be bass heavy from Beats Audio, but it I were to listen to pro-grade headphones more I'd probably download another EQ. Performance: Very snappy and fast, not a single complaint to report. With my iPhone I'd get frustrated pretty frequently at how slow things could be, but I've yet to run into that issue on the One. There's virtually no lag besides your finger and the touch controller, but that is something you can't avoid on any phone. I have run into some apps being slow such as older games, but that is mainly because they are either ports from iOS or not optimized for the newer generation of Android phones. Build: The phone feels very sturdy and I'm sure it would fair up just fine to frequent small drops, throwing / sliding around, you know, pretty average wear and tear. Me being the paranoid person I am about my electronics until I've have them for about 9 months, I almost immediately bought a case for the phone, although only being a slim snap on case. It at least gave me a sense of security. Cameras: They seem just as awesome as my iPhone 5's maybe just a little bit better for experiencing the content taken from them because of the larger screen. The wide front camera is a really nice upgrade from the 5 though. Battery Life: It seems to last a good bit longer than my iPhone (1440maH vs 2300maH), and if I am uncomfortable with how low the battery is getting I can just flip the notification tray down and hit the "Power Saver" button. I use my phone pretty hard from about 9am to 11pm, and I usually have to plug it in by then. Things I Changed: Nothing really. Just downloaded "Battery Widget Reborn" so I could see my battery percentage, and "Notification Toggle" to quickly toggle WiFi, rotation, etc from the notification tray. -- Overall Impression -- I love this phone. I have no regrets buying it or extending my contract to do so. It does everything I wanted a phone to do and more. Like Steve Jobs has said in the past "the customer doesn't know what they want, you have to tell them what they want." Although I could be called an Apple fanboy by many of friends because I favor my MacBook over anyone else's PC laptop, or reccommending an iPhone to anyone wanting a smartphone, having an Apple TV, following all the Apple events, etc., I gave my iPhone 5 to my girlfriend. Yup. I could have easily kept it to default on in case I don't like my One anymore, I don't think I'll ever be doing that. Worst comes to worst I'd probably want to try a new OS or app out on the iPhone, I can just ask her to borrow her phone. Thanks for reading! Just wanted to share my experience with the HTC One. It's definitely a lot for me to say all that I did. I've owned an HTC Desire HD twice, Samsung Captivate, Galaxy S II Skyrocket with a sh*t load of ROMs, and every iPhone since the 3GS, so trust me when I say as much as I have ;) Oh, and BlinkFeed is awesome

Looks great , subbed!

Congrats guys!

Looks good :). Did you end up getting a new fan filter?

I won't reveal too much, but the internals will change drastically, there will be water cooling, and plenty of it, and the case should look slightly different :)

Oh, I see now. Well I guess that leaves me the option to mod the top panel to fix that problem ;)

Lookin' damn sexy ;)

Looks really nice, I'm genuinely impressed with how clean it looks even with a non-modular PSU :)

Hopefully when I stick a 240 rad up top it'll flatten it out.

Yes! That's the word I was looking for haha :p

8, I've seen you're build btw, it's epic :) Specs in sig

This is so epic, I'll keep my eyes glued on this :)

In my sig :)

Oh absolutely, it is built better than any other case that I've ever used. The only issue I'm having is the top fan grills are slightly bent in, kind of like a curve.

I have an FX 6300 too! Nice build :)

Project Base2: The beginning of so much more... It looks like an ordinary build now, but stay tuned to see how far it'll go :) The Specs: -Fractal Design Define R4 Black Pearl (non-windowed) -Corsair Builder Series CX430 80 PLUS Bronze 430W PSU -AMD FX-series FX-6300 3.5GHz six-core processor -MSI 970A-G43 AMD 970 ATX Motherboard -Crucial Ballistix Tactical LP 8GB DDR3 1600MHz RAM -Sapphire Radeon HD 6450 1GB DDR3 PCIe 2.1 GPU -Western Digital VelociRaptor 160GB 10000RPM SATA 3.0Gbps HDD (x2 - RAID 0) -Seagate Barracuda 1TB 5400RPM SATA 3.0Gbps HDD Pictures! (I apologize for the cruddy iPhone pics, my girlfriend has the Nikon) Thanks for taking a look! :)

Can't wait :) Just clicked the button to show the spoiler, WOW!

Well then I'm really not sure what's going on. A new wave of douchebags maybe?

Sorry, but I just deleted the thread and account. I just wanted to get away from it all for good :). As you can see in my sig, people were getting mad at me because I have a higher-end case with budget oriented components, and the fact that I am re-using parts from other builds. ... but I love my build :)

I'm excited to see what more is coming! :) And also Mr. Tech Tips, I'm also a bit star struck atm :D

Me too :)
