Re: Great SSD Deals

240GB for $90 is an extremely nice deal. And I thought my Evo for $130 was a good deal.

Re: What are you playing right now?

Titanfall definitely seems fun and I want to get it. Its currently $37 on amazon, but I have no friends who play it. I've become someone who needs at least one friend to play a game with me.
Currently, though, I'm just playing some BF3 and LoL.

Re: Ants!!!

Diatomaceous earth is supposedly effective for ants, if you need a non-toxic approach. Yes, I remember reading that on reddit. It slices them up! Make sure you get food grade because the pool one is treated with chemicals. I have a stink bug problem where I am so I'm looking to get my hand on some ...

Re: Mid-Range Gaming Build

2GB of VRAM is definitely enough for 1080p gaming. I mean, theres proof there! The 760 is a great card for a mid-range budget. Its the card I would get. There is nothing wrong with it.
I agree with the Corsair cases as well. They are so nicely designed.

Re: Dirty Pics! (of your PC's that is lol)

Does that even run? Seems like a fire hazard. Yeah... I'm not even going to turn this thing on. That PSU is just going to explode. @Dimscene: I can't fathom any usage scenario that could produce that filth except being placed with no side panel in a wood shop that cuts nothing but MDF. Isn't it a p...

Re: Should I Replace My PSU?

I am skeptical about this whole loss of capacity over time issue. I can buy that there may be some loss over time, but I have trouble believing that it is on the order of 20% per year. I tend to agree. Not because of any scientific measurements I've made, but just from observation over the years. T...

Re: 350D or 450D For New Build . . .

Yeah, I think the 450D is a little too massive to sit on a desk. You can do a lot with the 350D so I dont think you have to get something as big as a 450D, though it does give you the option of an ATX board which there are more of. If you really like their style, I think 250D might be a awesome choi...

Re: New guitar!

Great to see a Guitar thread here! I don't practice much because I have ADD or something, but I do have a cheapo Squire Strat. Yes, I know its not a "real" strat. I did drop a SD into mine as well. Its a Hot Rails pickup in the bridge so I could be even more metal.

Re: Should I Replace My PSU?

Lol I just checked to see which post you guys were talking about.
The CX430 is a great choice. Its the PSU I have used to build the 3 computers for my family and friends. No failure so far and it has 80+ Bronze so thats a big plus!

This is an awesome price! Really despise those MIRs though. I recently got a samsung 840 evo for my laptop and it really put a smile on my face when I witnessed how fast it was.
