Trends that need to end

he/she didn't try to me is something that has a top mounted PSU, no modularness inside, airflow restrictions everywhere and flashy LED's to "make up" for it, Some LED cases like the Graphite series are mostly OK by me, but it makes me feel like the LED's are just a cover up for for many a poor internal layout.

 

Basically, the LED cases look to me like something a 12 year old Razer fanboy would like. The Fractal Design cases are more "I need function and I don't want my computer to stand out like a Christmas tree in August."

 

But you have your taste.

 

By chance, what sort of flashy cases do you like? 

lol I have an R4 by fractal with the NZXT Hue.  Now what?

The word is "understated." As a lover of NZXT and Fractal cases, flashy cases like the Corsair Carbide series irritate me. Why have a case that clashes with the colors of the room it might be in?

 

Whatever, everybody has their own view of what's attractive to the eye.

Seriously, can you find a better looking and performing mATX case than the Fractal Design Arc Mini R2? (Besides 350D, of course) Fractal is awesome, and Corsair needs to burn their Vengeance case line and put a recall on Spec 01-2-3 cases, they look terrible.

 

I think that Red + Black Mobo's DO need to stop, and let them all have a Black PCB, and this: Detachable armor (Like on TUF boards) that you can Plasti-Dip whatever color you like , and put that material on the VRM heatsinks and Motherboard armor. That idea = ALL THE MONEY.

Complete customization of your Mobo's colors!

 

But only put it on the Overclocking chipset boards...

Agree 'cept the Arc Mini actually has better rad support and MUCH better dustproofing. I just hate the it's called a "Micro" ATX case cuz it's SO FREAKING DEEP.

Also, unbalanced systems.

WHY do you have a 4790K with a 660, WHY? Also, you don't really need a 1 TB SSD unless you're running a server, but OK.

Calling a company or a single product "The best" of all it's kind. "XXX is the best smartphone", "XXX is the best film/game/cpu/gpu/etc".

It's usually a subproduct of fanboyism, simplistic and almost always empty argument that hurts the forums, the media and common sense.

 

Best, better are comparative terms misused by fanboys to justify their choice. Sincery, it's easy to end this. ASK WHY. when someone says "(*this-particular-shit*) is the best" ask why. You'll probably find bs nonsense or very good reasons to consider the idea.

I would say more competitions in markets (especially some of the tech-related ones). Not sure about other places, but in Canada, ISPs probably just agree where their service will dominate and the other one will not. Then they just keep the same prices. Even with graphics card, would like to see more competitors rather than just the base AMD/Nvidia. I feel like more competition drives companies to actually compete through prices/speeds/technology/etc.

People bashing Norton, basically saying it's worst than Hitler.
We get it, there are free alternatives out there. It's baity toward people who don't know any better when it's pre-installed on the computer, annoying you to renew it.

That doesn't mean it's complete shit. Especially since 2009, barely uses any resources at all.

Oh you've had to repair or clean the computer of someone who just happened to have Norton before? You poor soul, here have a cookie. Now shut up. Especially if the issue wasn't virus related. Don't blame Norton just cause.

Doesn't matter which anti virus is installed, if that person is going to install hundreds of viruses, toolbars and what not, no anti virus will be able to stop it, malwarebyte ain't gonna protect you on that side either. (Since the realtime protection is behind a paywall and it's also NOT an anti virus, now stop recommending that to people looking for an anti virus software, IT'S NOT)

 

You've personally had a bad experience with Norton? Really? When? What did you do? If it's before 2009, it changed a lot. If it's after 2009 and you dare to say you didn't do anything, let me slap you in the face with a rotten fish because you're obviously lying and belong in the category of "people who willingly install junk and blame the software for not protecting them".

A condom ain't gonna save you from pregnancy or STD if you willingly punch a hole through it. None of the people I know who are remotely smart and have Norton installed had any issue. Those did have issues, it was their fault that something went wrong in the first place, like putting a file that was flagged as a trojan and put in quarantine, in the exceptions, for example... Which I've seen quite a few do.

 

Fun fact, I never had a single virus in 10 years using Norton, nor any computer issues that could be linked even remotely to Norton and YES, I did try scanning my computer with malwarebytes to see if it caught anything, NO it didn't. That said, don't just use the plain "Anti Virus" version, Internet Security is much better, if only for the firewall.

 

Seriously sick of people bashing it when they either never used it themselves, judge based on outdated knowledge or never gave it a real chance. Honestly not expecting any legitimate response to this other than "you're wrong" or "still sucks".

In the realm of PC, I want all the GPU cooler designers to go and take a long vacation where they study the arts of Steve Jobs. I HATE 99% of gpu designs lately.

I'm all for individuality. But it doesn't make much sense to ruin the function of a car for "beauty" (throws up). IMG_1247.jpg

I agree, the whole stance scene is kind of ridiculous. I'm all for nicely modified cars, but that amount of camber and a ridhight so low that the car scrapes everywhere is just plain dangerous.

I used to use Norton 360, piggy backing off my dad's subscription as it allowed 3 PC's on it. Never had a problem, and it was efficient. The only reason I stopped using it and switched to a free alternative was because I built my desktop, and needed an anti-virus, and it wasn't going to be allowed under the subscription, so I tried Avast. I liked it, and ended up switching over to it on my laptop too. I feel they operate about the same in terms of efficiency, and if someone wants to pay for Norton, they can go right ahead.

Price-gouging (Nvidia)

Ridiculous prices (All smartphones)

Red and black gaymer swag (Asus)

Not caring about the consumer

 

Selling peripherals as "Gaming" peripherals. Seriously, corsair. What the hell man. A good sensor in a mouse and tactile buttons are good for anything, not just gamers. Stop this

Specs: 4790k | Asus Z-97 Pro Wifi | MX100 512GB SSD | NZXT H440 Plastidipped Black | Dark Rock 3 CPU Cooler | MSI 290x Lightning | EVGA 850 G2 | 3x Noctua Industrial NF-F12's

Bought a powermac G5, expect a mod log sometime in 2015

Corsair is overrated, and Anime is ruined by the people who watch it

I had a virus attach itself to norton and everytime norton ran it would randomly delete files this was in 2008, I haven't used it since then. However I know this happened because my brothers then girlfriend got on the computer and did all kinds of horrible things to it and clicked on links that I or anyone with a sane mind would not have clicked on.

Has the thought occurred to you that maybe some people maybe like that look? Who are you to judge what people like? To each their own.

That was probably an opinion

If You would have said Johnny Ive i would have bought what you were saying, but there is no "Steve Jobs" art, he was a CEO Ive was the head of design

 

But what are you saying? do you want an aluminum rectangle as your GPU cooler? Most higher priced coolers look good and i quite like my MSI 760 with the twin frozr.
