I love the raw power and front-facing speakers! And about dbrand - their name is awesome! Very well-taught and perky! Good luck to everyone and keep up the awesome work!

Just checked the prices - the cheapest 4930k here is $750. I'm a little bit shocked, but not that surprised.

I plan on overclocking it unless there is a better solution with a Xeon. So I think I need the K and yes, all the fancyness is a waste, but I will need a stable overclocker.

Hi guys, An hour ago I was given a project - to build a server-style PC for remote chess analysis using the Houdini engine. The idea - a rig to stay at home. Remote connections to it via TeamViewer (or some other VNC) will be made and the rig must analyse chess positions. Nothing else, not even FTP (which amuses me). The budget - about $1200. There is no need for GPU, giving me some options. Quick research showed me that Houdini utilises as much cores as you have and as much RAM as you have. There is a limit for the software - 32GB of RAM, so that's what I'm putting in it. As tempting as it was to use some AMD 8-core, I quickly found out that the i7-4770k performed much better. EDIT :: Houdini is very hungry for resources, so I will be overclocking. Now - I have little to none experience with building server-grade machines, so I don't know if a Xeon wouldn't be better for that task. Probably it would be - that's why I'm asking for your help. I have a quick idea of the build - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3Ew78. I know these are not server-grade components, but that's just a "blueprint". Another note - in my country there isn't much choice of components, but I believe I can get these, that's part of the reason I picked them. Please help me with this one.

In my country it actually does count :D You get swore and cursed by other drivers :D

I tend to drive on half clutch when going for off-road. My Jeep doesn't like that and the ferodo goes smoking :P

Does anyone have any information on when can we expect NGFF drives to come to stores? I read something about the end of this year, but it was a highly unreliable source. And also some information on the prices won't be useless :P Personally I think, that there must have been announced NGFF drives and after that - Notebooks with NGFF slots. I see there is no compatibility between mSATA and NGFF and that's a little annoying. There are tons of different mSATA options and not one NGFF.

Thank you both. You really helped me make my decision. I'll stick to the Lenovo and because I would need the storage, but can't actually afford 512GB SSD, I'll go with an SSH on it. NGFFs have no release date and will definitely not be cheap enough for 128GB (or even 64GB for caching) for me to buy. :)

Hi guys :) I'm looking for a laptop as I'm going to college this fall and at first I got my eye on the Acer Aspire v3-772G but after reading a few reviews I saw it overheats a lot and this does not work for me, as I don't see the point in buying a beast CPU that you cannot use. Now I have two choices and am not sure which one is better. In Bulgaria they are priced nearly. No matter the choice, I will go with either an NGFF SSD on the Y510p (when they come out in Bulgaria) or with SSH for the G55. I want your opinion on the matter because I know the G55 won't overheat, but the Y510p has Haswell and SLI. And if someone has it, could you please tell me if there is a temperature problem? Because there are a lot different model out there, here is what I'm looking at: ASUS G55 i7-3630QM 12GB 1600mhz RAM GTX 660M 750GB + 128GB SSH Lenovo Y510p i7-4700MQ 8GB 1600mhz RAM GT 750M SLI 1TB HDD an NGFF slot that I will populate myself Both displays are Full HD matte. There is actually an option for the Y510p with one GT 750M (which is obviously cheaper) and as I have seen from reviews so far, the SLI doesn't scale a lot but I believe Nvidia will fix that at some point. My reasons to choose the Y510p is that it is lighter, thinner, has Haswell and SLI and reportedly has better battery life, which is important to me. But I'm not sure that it is capable of dissipating that much heat. Any opinions, experiences, ideas and thoughts are welcome :) Thanks in advance!

3 Votes from me as I hate it so much!!

On Windows 7, use Microsoft Security Essentials. On Windows 8 it's integrated within the Security Center. For both OS' you could install Malwarebytes' if you have doubts but I do not recommend using both their real-time services in the same time. Use Malwarebytes' to scan the system only.

I prefer the good old Desktop experience but in Windows 8 I like the dialog screens, the popups and all the other sparkling stuff. Metro(Modern) is not for me as I don't have a touchscreen monitor and even if I did, I probably wouldn't use the Modern UI again.

Just for the reference: Ignore the AMD part and see the difference. Windows 8 is what Microsoft is the latest OS, so it would have longer support and probably better compatibility over time. You could also wait a couple weeks for Windows Blue (at least RTM version).

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ JFrame FrameToOpen = new JFrame(); FrameToOpen.pack(); FrameToOpen.setVisible(); }If you need to, you can import another packages and mind where each frame is coded. If I understood correctly, you need to make a new Frame with buttons for each of the other frames. Hope this helps!EDIT: Forgot - "JFrame" is the name of your frame actually.

A rather useless one: F#: printfn "Hello World!"
