Much about vega hasn't come out. I would suggest waiting for Linus's video on its performance. We know right now is it's price point, no way to tell if it's better than Nvidia.

Three-way SLI is not officially supported by the 1080 TI, so go with the two-way titan XP

the monoprice is the same printer with a different badge and design as the prusa for less.
-
so apparently the monoprices flaws are: that it is hard to calibrate, fails a lot when doing high speed prints, wireless features are "deactivated", the hotend doesn't keep a perfectly consistent temperature, and it has been known to come with a faulty power brick. all said that isn't the most important stuff, the hard calibration and keeping it at a lower speed might become annoying but they aren't necessities, also it's open source so you can upgrade the hotend, firmware, getting a glass print bed, and replacing the power brick. I found this review and it seems really good if you'd like to check it out: https://all3dp.com/monoprice-mp-select-mini-3d-printer-review/.

I also use a Raspberry pi with Astroprint on it to run the printer. AstroPrint is amazing I can upload and monitor my prints from anywhere. It very very very rarely crashes. And its $35 all in. If you are running a 3d printer I would call it a necessity.
-
I have heard good things about the Monoprice MP Select Mini as small cheap printers though.
-
Any other questions just ask.
-
No. Cheap printers break, they have bad quality, a lot require you to use their filament. If you want a cheap printer I have a Robo 3D R1 and it's amazing. It's $800 but a refurbish is $500. so long as your fine giving it some love every once in a while since it does break down every couple weeks, but they are easy fixes you just have to sit down and do it (mine is currently not working, its jammed and havent found the time to fix it). The tech support is also amazing, its all in the factory they are made in and it's 24/7. it has a huge build space and a heated bed. but unless your buying it I haven't seen a better printer for a price under $1300 unless you're fine with sacrificing build space in which case get an ultimaker mini $1100. Ultimakers are the best but Makerbots are easier to use.

The worst is my robotics / comp sci teacher, I talk about hardware and he gives me this blank look like everything I say is in another language. I once told him about my computer and he said "ok, its fast?"
-
I din't realize that, but after looking at the specs of the core m i7 it seems to be the same specs.

I once asked my friend, who is fairly tech, what kind of keys he has on his keyboard. His answer was "um... Black."

It is over 1600% funded and it seems like a really cool idea. Though I believe it would be really easy for them to mess it up. They also claim to be "Crowd Developed" but there is no way to suggest things to them so it seems like they saw what was wrong with a surface and decided what they thought would be what others do. It does sound like good hardware though. Thoughts? here's a link: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/eve-v-the-first-ever-crowd-developed-computer-laptop-tablet#/
