    Cryptocoin Mining?

    From what I understand the issues they are having are not just contained to the US, but to countrys that have certain standards when it comes to international transfer. Didn't make a lot sense to me - just know that US is it not the only company effected. YMMV

    Cryptocoin Mining?

    I waited over 2 months for MTGOX to get there crap together and wire the money to my US bank account. I had to eventually cancel the bank transfer and repurchase Bitcoin to transferr back to my wallet. I plan to try Coinbase and hope for a better outcome. The sad part is that MTGOX has known...

    27" 1440P vs 37" 1080P vs 3x25" 1080P

    Well, the Westy wasn't exactly a TV. It was a 37" 1080P LCD monitor. That was why I was wondering if there was something similar or better in the 37" range. I have heard there are some 1080P HDTVs with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling that look as good or better than the Westy with the correct settings...

    G. Skill - Ares vs RipJaws

    Thanks, but I wasn't actually talking about memory voltage. I probably didn't explain myself right. I was talking about more than the CPU voltage. More specifically I was talking about VCCIO: integrate controller voltage and VCCSA: system agent voltage My concern lies with G. Skill...

    27" 1440P vs 37" 1080P vs 3x25" 1080P

    Yeah, the pixel density/viewing distance ratio is why I was considering something similar to my Westy. I had to downsize a few years ago when baby 2 and 3 came along while living in a 2 bedroom house. I had to sell a lot of what I had including the Westy and switch to a gaming laptop. Just...

    27" 1440P vs 37" 1080P vs 3x25" 1080P

    So a 27" 1440P is really that much better than a 37"-42" 1080P? Would 30" viewing distance make a difference?

    G. Skill - Ares vs RipJaws

    Do you know anything about my concerns with the VCCIO/VCCSA voltage I mentioned? Do you know what VCCIO/VCCSA voltage you are running @? Thanks for the feedback!

    G.SKILL Ares 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3 1866 Desktop Memory - $94 FS

    Yeah, I know this isn't the greatest deal since ram was so cheap a couple months ago. But, if you are in the market right now for a 16gb (2x8gb) kit - this isn't too bad with the current price gouging: G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory...

    27" 1440P vs 37" 1080P vs 3x25" 1080P

    Been out of the loop a few years having kids and moving a lot. My last rig was a Q6600 with a GTX 295 and a 37" Westy (LVM-37W3). I am currently building a rig with the following parts: CPU: Intel 3570K MOBO: ASUS P8Z77-V PRO COOLER: Zalman LQ-320 GPU: undecided between 7970 or GTX 680 RAM...

    [HOT!!!] Seasonic X850 Gold power supply - $110AR/FS@Newegg

    I picked up the X750 earlier this month for $90 after rebate. I haven't sent rebate out yet. Is it worth it to me to try to resale this X750 after I submit rebate and pick up this X850 for roughly $20 more? I wont be running SLI/X-fire for awhile. I just want a power supply that will last...

    Project: Silent AC Rocketfish

    Thanks for the encouragement. I need all I can get! Quick update on what I finished last night. I had a pretty long day at work yesterday, so I didn't get much done at all. Basically, as you can see in the pics, I have started applying the Peel & Seal roofer's tape to the front of the case...

    Project: Silent AC Rocketfish

    Time to update what I got done last night. Seemed like a lot of cutting because it took me so long. If you would like to look at pics as I explain my progress feel free to view my album. My pics kind of jump around because I was kind of bouncing around a lot on what I was doing. My main...

    Project: Silent AC Rocketfish

    Yeah, I know! Is it really that bad to add another to the pot? Yep, you were another I was inspired from to take the jump and customize this beast a bit! Yes, this is going to be one of my first changes. My plan was to seal the bottom front half with the roofer's tap. Rotate the hard drive cage...

    Just a heads up if you ordered in the past 48 hours! Check your printable invoice online and make sure that your invoice is dated before April 30th!

    Rocketfish Full Tower Case (similar to LianLi PC-A71B)

Got someone to look up the RSS and was able to price match to $47.99. Used $50 in rewards zone gift cards...
