    3k Intel PC Build

    You can put one 200mm fan up front or two 140mm fans I think. http://www.nzxt.com/product/detail/134-phantom-530.html I'm not sure if it works out putting the side fan as an exhaust or not since it's so close to the intake fan. Hopefully the link helps show some of the fan slots. I'll end...

    3k Intel PC Build

    I got it all put together and tested it a bit. Those R9 290s get super hot. I was playing sleeping dogs and it keeps the video cards going 100%. The video card on bottom that gets baked by the top card was level about 88C and the CPU occasionally gets up to 70C, but most of the time waffles...

    3k Intel PC Build

    Yea I chickened out and bought a 1000W power supply which oddly enough ended up being the EVGA SuperNOVA G2 1000W for about $150 after rebate on amazon. The monitor I'm relying on the good word from Hard Forum, amazon reviews, and newegg reviews. I'll let you know how it goes. Now time to go...

    3k Intel PC Build

    The advice was very helpful. Better and almost $50 saved! I had mostly picked the XFX cards for the 3 free games promotion, but the reviews I saw seem to show the tri-x cooling is much better so I took your advice. I'm going with the QNIX because I plan to overclock it to 96Hz.

    3k Intel PC Build

    Items that you see would be helpful. e.g. I saw some DDR3-1600 RAM of the same amount but I would not save money. Maybe G.Skill is not the brand. I don't know what brand air cooler is better, my initial build had a closed loop water cooler but given feedback that seemed excessive.

    I want a Dodge Challenger R/T

    The Challenger is a nice highway cruiser or awesome looking muscle car. It's not the fastest. The SRT is pointless unless you track the car (the brakes are better), but the car is barely faster unless you buy a 2011 or 2012. The difference is if you plan on modding it the 6.1L is a better...

    How picky are you about your cars?

    It'd be cool if people post the cars they own with their opinions. We can all try to be nice to each other about what we chose to own ():).

    e46 m3 vs s2000 vs mustang gt

    Some people spend all of their life perfecting something. You may just be a natural, but you're the biggest dbag I've seen on any forum in a long long time. Congratulations on having so much money? I think if you are so well off you should pay someone more intelligent to post for you.

    How picky are you about your cars?

    How picky are you about the car that you drive? If it functions from point A to point B is it good enough or does every little detail have to be just right for your personality and driving style? I've been bugged lately by my car, but only by little things. I love the car's style, color...

    Got My XM Radio Notice

    I just renewed for $30 for 6 months. When they called for me to renew at $12/mo and I said I'd pay $30 for 6 months the lady got really pissed off. When she said I was getting a month free I told her that I wouldn't pay any more. I went with no XM for 2 entire days and then I got my deal...

    Sacred 3 will be better than Diablo III

    I think the Sacred series lacks the polish of the Diablo series and suffers for it. It's kind of like watching a movie with subtitles. Sure I can enjoy the game because its fun but there's an amount of effort involved that detracts from the experience. I'd tag a bet Sacred never catches on with...
