  1. Fair play... Surprised it even turns on an LED... A0 stepping. Good find.
  2. The dates on the top of the CPU never match up with the release date of the product... Look at the top of a i7 4770k it will say '11 on it. And with regards to BIOS - it's unlikely that you will find one which works with that CPU. BIOS compatibility on a particular platform is usually related to the processor Stepping. Due to the fact it is an Intel Confidential QSpec product, you will have no idea what stepping it actually is, and it is unlikely that there will be a BIOS publicly available that is compatible. When Dell say "any Westmere" they mean publicly available Westmere. Sorry to be a buzz kill. :unsure:
  3. Be glad you don't live in the UK, after taxes VAT etc - Prices: Titan - £799 - $1509 AUD - $1314 USD 780Ti - £521 - $983 AUD - $857 USD
  4. That is an internal to Male. You need and internal to female... like this one. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Startech-Female-Motherboard-4-Pin-Header/dp/B000IV6S9S/ref=pd_sim_computers_3 And yes it should work fine so long as the signal is okay and can go through the case.
  5. I just brought a Fractal Node 304 about 3 weeks ago... I want one of these now. 
  6. Spill a fizzy drink on it then leave it overnight... There you go a sticky W key that should hold it's self down.
  7. True.... As long as you are reasonably conservative with your voltage increases then you should be okay. Also unless you are running unrealistic load Stress tests on your CPU, GPU and other components in your system all at the same time you should be fine.
  8. Thats what the SteamBox runs... That has a GTX 780. It should be fine.
  9. Wow... retro... what does that run like Windows 98
  10. You don't even need a specific server OS. As long as it provides a Service its a server. Share a Windows directory over the network... it then becomes a Simple Fileserver. Install a Linux OS of some sort and look into configuring a private Cloud or WebServer or something.... But yes as others have said. Your question is very broad... what do you want to do with it?
  11. Not that I am aware, It just worked I believe, he is not very Linux savvy so if there was issues it was only very basic Google-able problems. You shouldn't have any issues.
  12. A colleague of mine has managed to get the Dell XPS12 to work with Ubuntu and with fully functional touch screen. (Still a few bugs though)
