The motherboard is pretty thin, my ram is the tallest thing save for the cpu cooler.

Finally finished the majority of my build and I'm needing a decent cooler. According to OC3D http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_cooling/corsair_carbide_spec_01_03_review/6 my case should, at least in theory, support a 240mm rad in either the top or the front. Has anyone on here actually done this and it work or is it just a pipe dream and stick with an air cooler? Suggestions for a decent 120mm AIO or air cooler under 158mm w/ fan are appreciated. Specs in sig.

I just bought one, it's not bad for $30. It's a bit on the bulky side and heavy for being all plastic. Switches themselves are a bit inconsistent but to be expected. IMO it's a better holdover/test board than a membrane would be. It will give you the experience of mech switches without breaking the bank till you decide on a better one.

The case has already been purchased, but I've done some looking around and I'll more than likely get an NH-C14S. It'll fit in even with both fans installed.

Has anyone put a 240 AIO in the front of the case? OC3D shows in their review it can be done but don't know of any AIO with tubes that can reach the socket. Any suggestions? Also if anyone knows height of the VMR heatsinks on Gigabyte's Z97X-SLI, it may fit it the top 2 fan slots. OC3D show a CM 240 fitting in the top, provided no obstructions.

Wanting to know if anyone has compared these two coolers. I've heard a lot of good reviews out of the H7 Saw both on HiTech Leigion.

Would setting up the workstation with two 1gbps links in teaming to the switch be possible? the motherboard i've picked out is Asus's X99-M WS which has two nics

They didn't give me a budget for anything, they pretty much said it what we need, go knock you're self out. Its part of an interview and most of my training is going to be OTJ, the rest it will be at my local comm. college.

So I've been given the task of coming up with a hardware upgrade plan for an internal network for a small business which will include atleast 10 workstations and a primary back up server. Would a 10Gbps network be nessisary for this type of application or would a 1gbps be enough? As far as what type of backup system, I don't what they are going to require, I planned for using TrueNAS.

Normal price there's maybe a $15 difference. I'm wondering why the manufacture price is such a drastic difference. My discount is based on what they pay Logitech for them. It ends up being a $55 difference to me.

Based on everything I can find the only difference between the two boards is the switch type brown vs blue. So why is it the brown switches cost so much more than the blues. I get a discount from work on hardware and with that the G710+ is double the price than G710 yet both are 130 full price. Wanting Browns but may end up with blues for the price difference.

Any opinions of the motherboard? Newegg has it for 104 after MIR.

The i3 is out of the picture since it doesnt OC. The whole point is to learn to OC on the media PC so when time comes I know what i'm doing on the desktop.

The 4790K is going to be my desktop when its built. The G3258/X4 860K is a console replacement media PC. I'm building both, the media pc has higher priority atm
