    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    Thanks for the details;). Yeah, I wouldn't think it would be this important, either. I saw plenty of cases that I liked that didn't have 5.25" bays (the Raijintek Styx Classic is gorgeous, especially in blue and actually has a slim optical slot on the side, although I did just find out my GPU...

    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    Ended up buying a DIYPC Cuboid-G for $59.99 from NewEgg...

    Fair enough. I guess microATX it is:).

    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    How's this different from what I said? There's a version of the Prodigy that supports a version of ATX.

    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    I have an ATX - there's a version of the Prodigy that is ATX-compatible. Appreciate the suggestions. I'd be OK going down a size, as well or going without optical, but it would still have to fulfill the other requirements.

    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    I've been looking at a Bitfenix Neos, but it's kinda blah, in my opinion.

    Smaller microATX case to replace Thermaltake Soprano V900?

    My current system is housed in the aforementioned case which I really liked in photos, but didn't realize just how huge it was until I saw it show up on my doorstep. Think Leonard in the Big Bang Theory episode where he buys a time machine replica. I went through with the build but now I'd like...

    Best GPS smart watch/fitness band?

    That's good. I have the Aria scale, just need to get more serious about using it. Guess I'm going to try to find a good deal on Surge, then:).

    Best GPS smart watch/fitness band?

    Yeah, the Fitbit iOS app is pretty stellar, although it doesn't do a great job of tracking exercise such as weightlifting, but, in fairness, that wasn't part of my original requirements:). What does concern me is FitBit's wearables' quality (I had a Flex that bruised my wrist and ended up...

    Best GPS smart watch/fitness band?

    I'd be happy to hold off for now if I knew that the AW2 would have GPS, but all the rumors I've read so far suggested that it won't...

    Best GPS smart watch/fitness band?

    The Apple Watch would have been perfect for me with one small exception: it lacks a GPS feature which I would like my new wearable to have. So, intent though I was on taking the plunge, I'm stuck looking for a different solution. Here are the requirements: - The aforementioned GPS (for run...

    Upgrade advice from 7870 Tahiti LE

    I will - but the artifacts happened with my original 7870, as well. Will try DDU, though, to make sure.

    Replacing MBPro13/Dell XPS 13-1943

    I ended up with a 1440 Acer S7 (eBay from official Acer refurb store for just a hair under $700). Pretty happy so far, but the scaling in certain applications looks weird: i.e. I see fewer things on the screen with the Acer in Gmail than I do with a 768p Dell. Just the same, lovely laptop and a...
