Oh haha black cables, here this should help:

I would go for the G502, G402 or the M45. All of those (I think) have a "perfect sensor"
 
My personal preference is the G502 followed extremely close by the M45

Now you can buy SSDs which will physically break themselves when you send an SMS, with many fail safes if something goes wrong. I couldn't find the pricing on the website, but I assume it's going to be expensive.
 
"Losing a laptop full of personal files like family photos is upsetting, but losing a laptop full of private corporate info and trade secrets is instead downright terrifying. So when you absolutely can't risk misplaced data falling into the wrong hands, a GSM-equipped SSD drive that can remotely physically self-destruct guarantees the utmost of security and privacy."
 
"As soon as you realize a laptop or other hardware with the SecureDrives SSD installed has gone missing, all you need to do is send a pre-defined text message to its unique cellular number and the drive will be immediately destroyed. And we're not talking a quick format to erase its contents either. The SSD's enclosure features built-in mechanisms that will physically destroy the flash memory chips inside, making the data completely unrecoverable."

"The second choice is to go further and fragment the NAND Flash and security controller via a physical destrcution process that takes place after the encryption key is fliped. This physcial fragmentation effectively renders your data safe from any form of forensic data recovery technique known, now and in the future. With the NAND Flash physically broken it cannot be mounted on special Printed Circuit Boards (PCB) through which vast banks of computer processing power are used in an attempt to access your data and crack encryption codes.  "

I wish micro center had more locations

WTF is with your Avatar OP. Made me LOL, seriously.
 
I always knew ducks were evil

Hey guys.
So this weekend, my family and I will be visiting buffalo NY for a week. And from my previous knowledge, I know that hardware is cheaper in the states.
Are there any Computer Hardware stores in the Buffalo NY?
Thanks
P.s. I live in Canada.

when the PC is OFF

Every manufacturer makes bios/uefi different, and between motherboard series and models it can vary a lot, so you have to play with it a bit until you find the settings.

Be careful on that claim. The big thing is AMD has unified memory implemented already. Their APUs can build a 4GB frame buffer in RAM instead of Intel's current 1.7GB in its onboard video cache. If you limit the resolution to what Intel HD 4600 can handle, it can actually perform toe to toe with the A10 7850k. Their cores are equally powerful I would say, but AMD's overall architecture/implementation is a generation ahead.
The FX 8350 vs the 4770k rendered a 4K video in only 65% the time with the same RAM in the same channel mode at the same speeds, and neither chip was overclocked. I know I've seen that video and it surprised me, but when I went diving into the x86 manuals of both companies, I did find Intel had an achilles heel: its rendering instructions on the Haswell architecture. Most of them are 3 cycles where most of AMD's equivalents are 2 cycles or even 1. I was admittedly floored.

Paint the rings, not the blades. Here is a nice example:

Unigine Valley Benchmark 1.0

Welcome to the Valley benchmark thread! The place where our forums most (and least) powerful PCs compete. Every PC is welcome here and benchmarking is highly encouraged for all users. Not only to try for that top spot , but to add to our data to our ever increasing scoreboard and spreadsheet. The more scores  we have the more accurate performance data and component classifications we have. So join us! Download the benchmark and start competing now. 

The benchmark can be downloaded here:
http://unigine.com/products/valley/

Rules
1920x1080p:
The Extreme HD Preset must be used.
 
For 1440P,1600P, 4K (3840X2160), triple screen or 21:9 it should be on maximum settings. that is:
API:               DX11
Quality:         Ultra
Stereo 3D:    Disabled
Monitors:      Single 
AA:               x8
Full Screen: Yes
Resolution:  System/custom
 
720P:
The basic preset must be used. 
 
To submit your score:
You must have a captured screenshot of Unigine Valley running with the score you are submitting. To take a screenshot in Valley, Press F12 while in the benchmark. Valley screenshots are located in C:\Users\YOUR NAME\Valley\screenshots. In your post, include your Valley screenshot of GPU-Z (and preferably of CPU-Z too). 

please post in this format:

CPU
GPU(s)
Average FPS
Score
Screenshot of valley, GPU-Z and CPU-Z
 
Nvidia users: If you want accurate clocks on the scoreboard, use the sensors tab in GPU-Z so that we can get accurate clock readings. 


if you have a link or a photo that is ok, but the above method is preferred.
 
To submit for the average FPS leaderboard:
First, You must have run the Valley benchmark in 1080p, 1440p and 4K with the same PC. Once you have scores for all three tests, put all there in one post and clearly request that these be added to the average FPS leaderboard. Once you have scores for all three tests, put all three in one post and clearly request that these be added to the average FPS leaderboard. Once you have added, you can continuously update your score individually. If you want your scores updated, please mention in your post that you are on the average FPS leaderboard, so we do not forget to update it.

You're good man. Go to town.  (Not literally, unless you need to actually go into town)

I would like it since the keyboard on that is wayyyyy better than the ones on my old acer.

I ordered the X61 and some noctua industrial 2000 rpm fans. Will see how much better I can get the cooling of my FX-9370 sometime this week

It'll take for however long it takes for them to get it in stock. That's the whole point of backorder, they know they'll be getting some stock sometime, but they don't know when.

I waited about 4 weeks, but it can take 3-6 I think. It depends on the manufacturer shipping schedule. Anything longer than 6 weeks and you should call them see whats up.

From the day I submitted my order till the day I got it, 4 weeks on the dot.

It's a wireless N (wifi) adapter that goes in a PCIe slot.By the way, pictures in the signature are against the CoC.

One thing to consider. Ducky uses Cherry Stabilizers. IIRC.
Otherwise there is no competition. Ducky wins hands down.

They're pretty much the same thing.... 
Both allow the keyboard to recognize multiple keystrokes. I.e. without key-rollover or anti-ghosting if you pressed w+a+g one/more of those keys could theoretically not register. (random key choices--theres nothing specific about those keys)

Heres a useful link about anti ghosting and key rollover: http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/official-mechanical-keyboard-guide#post_6009418
Key rollover describes how many keys you can click at once and register while ghosting just describes the effects if you try to click 2 keys at once (it registers as a different key than the 2 keys that you clicked)

Dont give a fuck about performance, im buying the yellow one.

no it will not X-Fire together
 
X-Fire is only for discrete GPUs like R9 270 dual GPU X-Fire
 
APU iGPU and a low end discrete GPU is called Dual Graphics by AMD
 
and for the A10-7850K and the A10-7700K
 
you can only use the R7 240 or R7 250 for the Dual Graphics config
 
so A10-7850K + R7 250/240 will work but note that the GPU must only be using DDR3 VRAM
 
but R7 250X and higher series will not work

Yes, it does support N-Key Rollover
