Microsoft Office hasn't been improved since 2003. It just gets more and more bloated. I sleep well at night knowing I use LibreOffice and I'm not feeding the Microsoft corporate machine.
I've wanted a Xiaomi phone for a long time, if only as a statement to say that yes, the Chinese are more than capable of making quality products. I hope they begin to roll out some phones to the North American market soon, though I suspect they might not use the full "Xiaomi" name because the perception over here is that all Chinese products are trash.
Just did a build in the EVOLV ITX. It was a breeze to work with after having struggled with the BitFenix Prodigy and Lian-Li PC-TU200B plus the finished build looked so much cleaner.
Getting tired of all the triple-fan coolers. I wish more companies would copy MSI and just put a couple of 100mm fans on their cards. EVGA is halfway there with their ACX cooler, but they have a large dead zone between their fans.
If you don't like the Noctuas, Gentle Typhoons, or EK Vardars, maybe consider Noiseblocker eLoops, Akasa Apaches, Rosewill Hyperboreas, or Cougar Vortexes. Most Phanteks fans are quite well optimized for static pressure as well.
I like to think that members of this forum try to be more educated consumers, meaning the overwhelming majority of us wouldn't be caught dead owning a pair of Beats.
I can HIGHLY recommend the FiiO X5 (2nd Generation) for $350 or, if you don't need as much storage potential (i.e., over 128GB), just get the cheaper FiiO X3 (2nd Generation) for $200.
