Raided sd cards though. Whould anyone be upset to see phones supporting multiple sd cards with raid capability

I choose an android phone (specifically the LG G3) because of the relatively high level of customizability. I love the idea of a highly customizable phone. As an avid modder I'm always looking for something to mess around with. So i was wondering what would you guys and gals like to see in future smartphones? I'm personally keeping my fingers crossed for phones to eventually support overclocking, socketed chipsets, ram expandability, and most of all SD CARD RAID SUPPORT! Imagine being able to comfigure all the types of raid you know and love on your phone. If any of this sounds interesting be sure to check out the phoneblocks project. Its super cool and might actually lead to some of these dreams being realised. Also what kind of cool features would you like to see in smartphones? Post your ideas below

wow, kindergarten level video editing, that phone switch was unbearable to watch

I can't see your build

That's just cruel, giving him the AIO for a non overclockable cpu

This was a super hard challenge, had it been $510 it would've been easier and had I been able to permit myself to post a build that didn't use a windowed case that would've made it much easier as well

Motherboard: Good asrock board, tons of sata 3 for insane expand-ability Memory: 1600mhz memory is good and relatively cheap, 4 gb of memory is just too little and for $75 8gb is a very compelling offer. Storage: This is the exact HDD that I initially had as a boot drive and now use as a storage drive, I've had it and used it heavily for 1.75 years and it doesn't show any signs of giving up Case: Nice case, very good PSU: Good efficiency power supply from what I think is a reputable brand, the only part that'll have to be replaced when upgrades happen (had to do this cause the alternative options put me at $501 every time) I know what some of you are thinking, "How come u no has gpu?!" the answer to this is simple, buying a low end gpu simply doesn't make sense, the only point at which a dedicated gpu begins to be a worthwhile step up from integrated graphics is around the $100 price point. And for this type of build that just doesn't fit into the initial budget. When I initially built my pc It had a 3570k, 8 gb of 1600mhz ram, an asus mobo, the one tb hdd mentioned earlier, and a diablotek psu and case and you know what I played 4v4 starcraft 2 all day on integrated graphics. All that for only $400 thanks to microcenter bundle deals. Today the only holdovers of that build are the cpu and ram, I'd still have the mobo but it died, had my budget been $500 I'd have gotten a better case and power supply and would most likely still be using them. Remember an upgradable build is always a good build Upgrades: [PCPartPicker part list](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jdqV23) / [Price breakdown by merchant](http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jdqV23/by_merchant/) Type|Item|Price :----|:----|:---- **CPU Cooler** | [Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/cooler-master-cpu-cooler-rr212e20pkr2) | $24.99 @ Newegg **Storage** | [samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te120bw) | $77.99 @ NCIX US **Storage** | [samsung 840 EVO 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/samsung-internal-hard-drive-mz7te120bw) | $77.99 @ NCIX US **Video Card** | [Gigabyte Radeon R9 280X 3GB WINDFORCE Video Card](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr928xoc3gdrev2) | $259.99 @ Amazon **Power Supply** | [EVGA 600B 600W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply](http://pcpartpicker.com/part/evga-power-supply-100b10600kr) | $46.13 @ Newegg | | **Total** | Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available | $487.09 | Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-08-18 04:04 EDT-0400 Cooler: Good cooler, I have one myself, low price point but excellent performance allowing for awesome upgrades elsewhere Storage: Two samsung 840 evos, each boasting 540MB/s Read and 410MB/s Write in raid 0 to give an epic 1080MB/s Read and incredible 820MB/s read all while doubling the capacity up to 240GB, the 1TB hdd should now be used for backups and mass storage. GPU: The R9 280x is an impressive card and gigabyte's wind force cooler means that it stays very cool even at max load. Power supply: With the addition of a dedicated gpu a psu upgrade is necessary

Just gonna throw this out there, you can buy a 350d for $50 at micro center (open box but still perfect) and it's an awesome case with a window and good water cooling options even tho its a small case

If your copy of windows is from a prebuilt the answer is no, factory built pc's use windows licences that are linked to the motherboard and cpu, so unless you're using a system builders copy and have the original install disk the answer is unfortunately no. (correct me if im wrong not 100% sure just trying to recall what i read when my mobo died.) As long as the optical drive from the old pc has the correct interface (i.e. sata) you should be able to use it for any new build.

I envy your wallet, additionally if you really want to learn a ton about computer hardware take all of your money and start a semiconducter plant and send me free ddr4 Anyway everything you listed as a use for this computer except gaming can be done with a $600 build. I personally dont know what kind of games your play and on what insane settings you run them on but rest assured that beast of a system you have planned out will handle it. Also you might want to consider putting ssd's in raid 0 , it'll increase failure chance (the effects of which can be negated by setting up a backup schedual) but also nearly double what are already impressive speeds at 100% space efficiency.

Just speced this out, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/V2zCZL Granted it's a duel core cpu it's much more beefy per core which for gaming is what counts, if you were doing workstation stuff you'd benifit from quad core but for gaming te 20th anniverssary pentium is just about as a good as an i5, One thing would be if you can spare the cash it would be worth it to buy a motherboard with a z97/z87 chipset so that you can overclock it. Unfortunatly due to your size restraints this costs more than it normally would.

Well I do have a cool idea for the pull out table part of your desk: put in some leds or cold cathodes with a limit switch in the circuit so that once you pull it out it illuminates. As for everything else I'm not exactly sure what your looking for and I would be happy to help if you can elaborate.
