Trying to preserve my JTag and Jailbreak systems and also put them in one case.

Xenon 360 (temps are phenomenal even with original air cooling tbh) and backwards compatible PS3

Anyone know where to find them nowadays? Whether it be new or second hand, I don't care.

First post in a minute and a half on LTT so if this is supposed to be else where, mods you know what to do.

Hey guys about a year ago I planned on making an APU based gaming PC inside one of my old Xbox 360 cases (Phat). Long story short, it never happened.... until now, though this is going to be my main rig since I sold mine awhile back.

I do apologize, I started taking pictures after I started.

Here is the part list ;

AMD 7870k

Gigabyte A88X Wifi (Mini-ITX)

8GB (4x2) EVGA 2400Mhz RAM

XFX BEFX 850w 80+ Gold PSU (external)

Phat Xbox 360 case (White)

Corsair H90

120GB San Disk SSD

1TB HDD

Pretty sure that's it. Now for my progress so far (7/6/15 (July))

Basically I started off by cutting out the fan grill on the cage of the Xbox with a dremel according to the rear I/O plate. Thankfully, when I stuck the plate in the cutout, it snapped into place. (VERY LUCKY ABOUT THAT and I didn't plan on that happening)

Then I place the motherboard in the chassis and marked where I was going to drill a hole for the 2 screws to hold the motherboard in place. (Already had 1 screw in place)

Now that everything was in place, I powered it up and....

BANG

I know you can't see the screen but it works, considering I'm posting on here with it

To be continued tomorrow Till then.

... may I ask why? It's your money and all but just interested in the reason since we saw 0 gameplay and know nothing about it.

Cause 1: it supposedly set in Boston, my home town. 2: I love Fallout. 3: I only put $5 down at Gamestop ( I want a hard copy ) 

Literally going to have to buy a completely new computer since I sold mine awhile back. Pre-Ordered today

actually quite balanced imo

Why will he not get you a desktop? It is far better for games and cheaper.

I dont have a good track record with desktops. i like to upgrade everything. getting a laptop prevents this to an extent. plus cant carry a desktop around campus.

Which is what dollar/euro/pound amount?

$1600 max

Guys I'm in need of a laptop for school and i knew this was the place to ask. Haven't been on here in over 5 months.

I'm completely out of the loop regarding computers.

I doubt my dad will buy an all out desktop, so a laptop is my only choice.

I still have all of my Steam and Origin games.

What I need is a laptop that'll play my games. The hardest game to run technically is Crysis 3 but who the hell plays that. Actually playing, would be BF3 and 4, though I haven't looked at any game releases for 5 months or so, I kind of went under a rock.

What do you guys suggest? Price point needs to be inline with a MacBook since Apple has some killer deals for back to school college students.

Oh and I sold my rig completely. Using my Dell Latitude D610 for now.

Thanks guys, love you all!

Bye guys, my life is changing and the computer enthusiast part of me is starting to go away. I find myself less and less interested in computers everyday, and I haven't been on here in awhile like I used to. So bye bye, see ya maybe some next time

Love ya all

Deuces.

Gold is not enough, I want the Diamond Standard

Why are you downgrading? And i3 hands down.

I simply don't need it? It was a waste of $300?

Why not just keep your current rig? (If that's what you have in your signature)

I don't think I've updated my Sig, Im on Z97 now if it still says AMD

Guys I have no use for my i7 or even an i5.I have until tomorrow to return my i7 to get a refund. Should I grab the unlocked Pentium? I really just use my PC for web browsing.

I have no issue down the road re-buying an i5/7.

So Pentium or i3

Most certainly, they're just not big name. Absolutely nothing wrong with them

$270 difference from 70 to 80 for >20 fps more? Jesus nvidia get your pricing philosophy on AMD's tracks.

@Buckley - As pictured below, those two o-rings fit into the grove on the block and then use the allen bolts to hold the bridge to the cards.

 

For the fittings, you will take the fitting out where the bridge is going, join the two cards, then put fitting in the same port as the first card, but on the other side.

 

Hope that made sense. Should look some thing similar to this.

much love <3

Alright so im finally getting my older 290x back from rma and im going to slap another waterblock on it. question is, what fittings do i use? there is a single pci x1 between the x16 slots. i was looking at this http://www.frozencpu.com/products/16260/ex-blc-1137/XSPC_Razor_SLI_High_Flow_Bridge_2_Slot.html?tl=g30c101s873#blank since i have the razor block for my current 290x. if i did get this, would i need 2 more fittings? im not sure how this one connects the 2 cards. thanks

Xspc's 240 kit is $150

fuck yes finally

Titan black(s) are def better than the 290x/ 295x2. Raw fps wise yes, price no. But holy jesus

I still really like the red and black motherboard scheme, although I don't like all the flat VRM heatsinks

sounds like AMD is doing it so they can be optimized for it first

Well someone has to get the ball rolling... Who better than AMD themselves
