In other words, my 4770k is doing just fine. However, I would not mind getting this for DDR4 because I want a miniITX build with 32GB RAM (16GB X 2), which I can't do with DDR3 (I got 8GB X 4 now) on the Haswell platform. :/

If I could feasibly get and connect a keyboard to my computer that has the feel of typing on the IBM Selectric typewriter (which I have), then take my wallet. :) I have tried lots and lots of keyboards (Das, Model M, all cherry switches)... and none still come close to the pure joy that it is...

When I worked as a computer tech (before becoming a baker...), I noticed that every Toshiba HDD that came through the shop was failing in one way or another. That was hundreds of drives. Even the few SSDs in ultrabooks from Toshiba were either dead altogether or just barely alive.

Glad to see that Samsung brought the MicroSD card slot back. I still won't buy a Samsung phone, but they look even better. I can't wait to see what the SD820 holds in store for us when more products hit the street with it. I shouldn't talk about SD slots though considering I own a Nexus 6... :D

The chipset of the computer, since it is from 2005, would likely be an Intel 915xx series chipset. Those chipsets only supported Pentium 4 CPUs. An Intel Pentium 4 670 is pretty much the best you can get! Make sure the BIOS version is A04 or greater on the Dimension. Source...

I had a Seagate HDD, a 2TB Barracuda model. It failed 3 times within its warranty period. I purchased it, then 3 weeks later, the motor in it started to go and it made a really loud buzzing. The second time some 5 months after the replacement, the motor started to fail again, then it stopped...

I got an Xperia Z3 the other day as an upgrade from my Nexus 5. While I do love the pure Android experience, the Xperia Z3 is incredible. The battery life is phenomenal as well. And my friend of whom I go hiking with a lot was jealous of it being water proof as I took a video of a creek by...

In addition to my original comment: I had a MacBook Air once upon a time as my mobile writing machine. But then I sold it to upgrade to a Thinkpad W520 for "mobile" architectural design and whatnot. The Thinkpad doubled as my writing machine as well. But then I sold it and built my workstation...

I don't get the point to this article. I mean, I do, but I don't. The way the author went about his journey before ending on the MacBook is flawed in the very least and what I got from it is this: "I bought a Windows RT Tablet knowing that it wasn't a full Windows experience, and I bought it...

XT? Would be interesting if they brought back those titles. XT, XTX, Pro and such. (Nvidia did something similar when they brought back their 'Ti' suffix.)

I'm on the wall about upgrading my setup. With Haswell around the block later this year and AMD's new Steamroller coming out later on as well... Where do I stand? I want to upgrade my motherboard and CPU. (RAM is a no-s#!t option) My setup right now: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650 @4.0GHz 8GB...
