    Considering Upgrades

    Well, I'm looking at changing cases anyway, since I want to have side panels again, so the positioning might change.

    Considering Upgrades

    Haha, one sits in a very narrow corridor between the ram and the heatsink, and the other sits directly in front of its socket, near the mounting bracket of the heatsink and beside the heatsink itself. If either move, which happens more than I'd like, I hear a grinding noise =P Not really...

    It has two unsecured fans sitting on top of my power supply.... xD;

    Considering Upgrades

    Yeah, my case thread's also gone into recommendations for upgrades, it seems @_@ Seagate ST2000DM001 were recommended instead of Cav Blacks. I also have a decidedly strange cpu cooler, which was my primary reason to want to upgrade, especially if i was changing motherboards. I was recommended to...

    Looking For a New Case

    The side panels my contact attempted to get lasercut, and promptly cut through the metal supports and mounting brackets as well as screws that held them in. On both sides. I've sent messages to about 20 different places, three replied with negatives. Silver PC said they had it, then linked me...

    Looking For a New Case

    Nah, the contact I got the system from tried to mod it and failed dismally... What would you recommend as a good upgrade, the board you linked or was that just an example? I'm starting work again now, so I'll do some quick searches when I can and might do a more thorough search when I get...

    Looking For a New Case

    So in your opinion, don't worry about upgrading the CPU, just change the heatsink and get the Fractal? Also, where would that be in Bios?

    Looking For a New Case

    My phone was being awesome, so I'll just edit this post. Yeah, the second link looks like it's slower and less efficient, but about half the noise. Not that it matters to me. It'll be about 3 hours before I get home, I can do a more thorough search then. So the Fractal will be my best...

    Looking For a New Case

    The Asus Rampage III Formula had two oc settings for the i7, one puts it up to 3.33 (which I'm currently running) and another that clocked it higher that I'll look at when I get home. Will either of them be a problem to run? I ran a p95 test on it, held at about 75C under full load with the...

    Looking For a New Case

    That case looks pretty good, could put these fans in (they seem pretty low-q though). Are those Seagates as reliable as WD? I'm rather new to hardware in general, so forgive me if these questions have been asked before xD Would I be better off getting a better cooler if I can spare the money...

    Looking For a New Case

    I'm looking at replacing them, since one is being a pain. There's more detail on the other thread I linked, I might replace them with 2TB caviar blacks. Your link doesn't work. And like I said, it's weird xD Might just buy another Cpu and install that, use the stock cooler on that. Don't...

    Looking for Opinions on My Headset

    Hello, I currently have an Afterglow wireless headset connected to an Audioengine D1, and I was wondering if I should upgrade. I got a PS3 I can connect the Afterglow to, and since some friends of mine have wanted me to start gaming on the PS3, which lead to the question, should I upgrade my PC...
