  1. I'm running an R9 280, which is beginning to fail. The display port doesn't work anymore so I'm using HDMI and DVI, but the card is on it's way out.
  2. I have such a small space to work with, one of these would make a huge difference.
  3. I have an old Micronpc.com keyboard I'm forced to use. PS/2 for the win? No. Not while gaming. ?

    New working work in progress

    A working PC now, but will be a LOT better when it's finished. Also my current personal rig.
  5. The Pheonix Aria headset would be the best! I'm stuck with a turtle beach ear force X11 and it sounds like complete crap...
  6. I like the selective focus. I'm hoping it will make editing photos for Twitter or Instagram better.
  7. I would guess not too much warmer than a smartphone on a charger. It's not running an i3 or anything. Just an ARM processor.
  8. I would love to see this come to fruition. Something easy like web browsing or watching Netflix or Hulu without a whole HTPC in the living room would be nice. Even most of those streaming boxes are not nice to look at. http://www.pcworld.com/article/2873118/mouse-box-wants-to-stuff-a-full-pc-into-a-mouse.html#tk.rss_all http://gizmodo.com/this-concept-mouse-has-a-whole-computer-inside-it-1680886768
  9. Right! This would make the best compact HTPC ever! Or for in-home game streaming. Who knows.
  10. Definitely love the look of that cooler. That is my favorite. After that would be the EDGE PSU. Looks nice, and I like the rubber grips/vibration dampening fittings for it.
  11. Love the look of the Extreme card. I thought the best looking cards for my build would be the Windforce cards, but this one blew that out of the water! Love the look, and the green-to red LEDs will look beast in my new Intel build.
  12. I've been looking at similar products for a the same thing on my R9 290. Can you find a link to the site you got them from? I'm trying to see what all is out there for these.
  13. Vantacor cables. They also have them in green, black and red. I'm not a huge fan of their red though. It seems faded, and doesn't really pop.
  14. Have you ever made just one little tweak to your system that made it sooo much easier to look at? This is the first time I have done something so small, that still made a big difference to me. First, I will have you know, that I have a Thermaltake 850 Smart M series PSU. Unfortunately, it is only semi-modular, and so the 24-pin and 4x2-pin cords are permanently attached. This would be FINE, if they didn't look like this: It's an eyesore! So I decided to do something about it. I went shopping for the cheapest blue braided cables I could find with decent reviews. These came up on Amazon for 5 bucks. So, it was time. I opened up the case with gusto, and unplugged the ugly vermin cables that had drawn my eyes for almost a year. This was their time to go into hiding. And so they did. They now reside in the depths of hell, behind the motherboard tray. After blending old and new, the time had come to introduce the new power-giver to the rest of the parts. It wasn't easy at first, they would not bend freely to my will. But as time went on, they gave way to my threats of fire and snips. After a while, they allowed me to bend them to meet their final resting place. It was a match made in heaven, and they could not be happier. ​Even at night, it looks as if there will be no problems. Except maybe a yell or two from the old replaced neighbor behind the tray. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Share your story with me! Have you made some small tweak to your system that makes a big difference? Or a difference just to you? Let me know. This could be fun, and give some people some new ideas maybe.
