    Question ATX case at 15-16 inches tall and deep

    I have it narrowed down to a couple, including the Lian Li O11D Mini. The rub on that one is needing a new SFX power supply. Not a big deal, but doubling the cost of the project. Might as well try to source a micro-ATX or mini-ITX board at that point and go with one of those. 16.5" tall is...

    Question ATX case at 15-16 inches tall and deep

    My son and I have built computers using Rosewill Cullinan PX cases. We both like them, and now we need to build another for my sister. We want to use the same case, but for some reason it isnt anywhere to be found, despite officials at Rosewill saying it has not been discontinued. Anyway. I...

    Question Should I bother with a 4K TV right now for 1080p gaming?

    Will I cost myself anything (image quality or graphics performance) if I go with a 4K television now even though I don't plan to run higher than 1080p at 60FPS for the foreseeable future? Long story short, we have 3 PC's with 1660 Supers in them that we game with (and two Xbox One X, not Series...

    Question If you were thinking of buying an ABS pre-built PC, to get a GPU...think again? (Read recent reviews!) (updated)

    Holy hell! That has to be intentional. So many bad cards... they didnt test ANY of them after they were built?

    Question Have they stopped making GTX 1660 Super?

    The Zotac 1660 Supers showed up today. :grinning: "Just what I always wanted, my own little graphics cards. I will name them George, and I will hug them, and pet them, and squeeze them."

    ARC soundbar and multiple inputs

    I have a Samsung LED TV that is capable of ARC (audio return channel). It has a total of 2 HDMI ports. I have 2 sources (Xbox and PC) and I want both to use a sound bar. I want to upgrade my sound bar (not ARC compatible), and make sure I can use both sources. My thinking is that if one...

    Question Have they stopped making GTX 1660 Super?

    I snagged 2 online today from Zotac on eBay today. There were 110 sold and 3 available, and I was able to get 2 (one for me, one for my son). I hope they dont suck. Price was awful, but not scalper level awful. Im all geeking out now!! Finally 1080p gaming!

    I had this issue... it ended up being a faulty SATA power cable.

    Question Have they stopped making GTX 1660 Super?

    Yeah I have seen that too. What I am asking is if they are still making the chips (for new cards obviously). The ones we are seeing at retailers could be old stock and not representing current production. I guess the question is, has Nvidia discontinued this product?

    Question Have they stopped making GTX 1660 Super?

    I know it is nearly impossible to get one without paying triple MSRP, but does anyone know if these chips are still being made? I dont think they have anything else in that price range, so I would think so, but what do I know...

    Question Upgrading from 1050ti

    I've been out of the game for a bit, so please bear with me. My son and I have near identical rigs - 4670k, 16GB, SSD, 1050 Ti, 1080p 60hertz display (older Samsung televisions). We play a couple games more than others - COD Cold War, Forza Horizon 4. We have a habit of setting the render...
