    Thermaltake P3/P5

    in Power Supplies

    Posted

    I currently have my system inside a Corsair Vengeance C70 case that I love. But i'm tired of it taking up desk space and like the wall mount look of the Thermaltake P3/5 case. But i'm not sure how my hardware would fit inside either the P3 or P5. I have a normal ATX motherboard, ATX Psu, 2 Hard drives and 2 m.2 ssd. I know all of that would fit no problem in either case. Where the worry comes is cooling. I am currently using a h110i V2 for my CPU cooler and a h100i v2 for my GPU with the NZXT Kraken G12 bracket. Does anyone have any insight that would help me solve this issue? I would go to a Micro Center but living in Connecticut, the closest ones around 2-3 hours away.

     

    Thanks for the help in advance guys.

    HTPSish machine????

    in Home Theater Equipment

    Posted

    So, I want to get a machine that is I guess an HTPC. I need it to run, Netflix, youtube while running a skype call while sharing my screen. I am not sure if the screen sharing makes a difference, the other thing that would be nice if it could do is Steam in Home streaming (not while sharing screen). I am open to finding older/used parts or machines off ebay (like scrapyard wars).

     

    Thanks for the help

    logitech g710 vs g710+ and keyboard recomendations

    in Peripherals

    Posted

    So some LED's are dead on my corsair k70 and it is bothering me so time to go keyboard shopping soon. I am looking at something that is blue switches, has dedicated media keys and wheel, and preferably has back light. I came a crossed the Logitech g710 with blue and the g710+ with browns. I have never used browns before so i dont know what i think of them but, are their any other differences between the two other than color and switch type? 

     

    On another note if there are any other keyboards out their that you guys use that are MX blues(not sure about the browns yet need to try them out), has media keys and preferably has a backlight than lemme no please. Sop found i found the Logitechs and a DAS keybaord without backlight. (if only the corsair RGBs had blues.

     

    Thanks Guys :D

    Which distro should i pick?

    in Operating Systems

    I would suggest maybe dual booting Windows + Linux so you can run Linux as your primary daily driver and when you feel the need to game you can reboot into Windows for support. Linux is great all around but the one place it's still playing catch-up is in gaming.

    I would but i only got a 120gb boot drive :(

    Steam has a pretty good Linux-compatible variety. The biggest issue becomes hardware compatibility (which is much better than when I got into Linux about 5 years ago). For example, I had to find a custom driver for my wireless NIC for it to function in Ubuntu.

     

    A hands-down good choice would be SteamOS, since it is meant to be a gaming-oriented OS. Of course, there is some compatibility issues between games. Toms Hardware has a decent list of what games ore compatible (http://www.tomsguide.com/us/steam-machine-games,news-18278.html ), but checking each game you wish to play on their Steam page will be a much better, and more specified solution.

     

     

    There are more than 1000 Linux compatible games on Steam if that's what you're wondering.

    Any luck with Wine? as I want to be ablet o play games for example GTAV

    Partition the HDD and try some first then. I would never, ever commit to an OS before I decided if I like it or not, it just seems naive to me. I'm all about exploring your options, but do so wisely. Regardless, good luck man :) Hope you like the change!

     

     

    you see, I can recommend what you need but in the end most of time... people will try everything within their limit

    Ubuntu, ElementaryOS, Linux Mint, Puppy OS, Kubuntu, Ubuntu lite

     

    these distro is popular because the curve of learning isn't that hard, because it's very similar to android platform.

     

     

     

     

    Zorin was great for me to learn off of when I first got back into Linux. Since then, I've gotten into BackTrack 5r2 for penetration testing on networks I build for class (soon to use Kali), Ubuntu (because who hasn't), XUbuntu, Steam OS, and Fedora. Personal favorite for general use is a toss-up between Ubuntu and XUbuntu, but they are practically the same from how I use it.

     

    My best recommendation is to get a virtual machine software, and try out as many distros as you can. Good luck, my friend.

     

    EDIT: The reason Zorin was great for me is that the interface was designed to resemble Windows as heavily as possible.

    Quick question what about gaming on linux?

    BEWARE OF GTA SHARK CARDS

    in PC Gaming

    Posted

    Wait, did you actually buy the Shark Card for PS3 because you wanted the money on PC? I'd say that it's a little daft if you did, you should have waited until it came out for PC to buy them on the platform they're meant for.

    It was an impulse thing. Bad move on my part, but should it matter?

    while surprising to some people this is because of licensing problems, not the first time ive seen something like this, its not rockstars fault but thanks for the heads up.

    if they gave the consumer a heads up that would be ok
