You are going to love the nzxt h440. Nzxt in my opinion makes the best cases next to Corsair, Coolermaster and and Lian Li (with caselabs being in a whole other league). Make sure to update us with pictures when it is here

-on a side note, Nzxt shipped my replacement panel and motherboard screws today. Should be here tomorrow. Shipping from a city in California called "Industry". Hmm never knew that existed lol, only 222 population..?

How much are you thinking of selling it for? instead of buying a new psu, would you take a 25$ amex giftcard and a 50$ paypal card lol?
Also, noticing a performance difference from the phoenom chip?

Also, opinions on this power supply please?
According to this thread:http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1804779/power-supply-unit-tier-list.html
It is a tier 2 Class A unit, same as the xfx pro series (above the ts series)

Yeah, HUGE difference. I'm not trying to get gift cards. I'll take straight paypal for it though.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Ummm, I am not registered for paypal. Could I like buy a giftcard, redeem it to my account and then pay you. And just to let you know, it is not final I am getting this, may get a psu, sorry but just want to keep it real.

 

[tiny voices]

I don't know how that would work. If it works that I just end up with money in my PayPal account, thats fine.

 

[RussK1]

Tiny,

PM sent.

P.S. - I see you want to OC now...

I have a MSI Z77A-GD65 Gaming board that I'm willing to sell. I will include the Windows license that is bound to it, I believe on a 120GB G.Skill SSD (which also has all the mobo drivers on it, updated at least once since initial installation). Let me know if you're interested.
It is a really sweet board, but I just don't have a use for it.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

@Onus
HOW MUCH.

@ PcBuilder
Its City of Industry. It's really just a ton of warehouses. Newegg's warehouse(one of them) is there, along with some other major companies. It's basically why I get 2 day shipping when I pay for free shipping, they just say, hey, this guys close to us, and send it out. Lol.

 

[Onus]

PM an offer. It is lightly used; I got it for a review. If my case had been ATX (rather than micro-ATX), I probably would have switched Phoenix to use it; it's a very nice board.
You'll be getting the board, and the SSD with the Windows 7 license on it. If you want it, I'll throw in the Hyper212 Plus I had on it, since the backplate is still on the board.

Black NZXT Switch 810 is discontinued. I just talked with NZXT and it is no longer being made.
I think that is stupid.

That kind of sucks actually, they had a good product there. You could probably get one off eBay if that's the case you really want (like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NZXT-SWITCH-810-Black-Full-Tower-Gaming-Computer-w-Light-Kit-/171355198586?pt=US_Computer_Cases&hash=item27e590d47a ).

If you don't mind not having optical drives get the H440 - I'm loving this case, it's amazing. I eventually plan to get a Samsung 850 Pro and a liquid cooler since the H440 is made for it, though I'm laughing at this "top critical review" of the Thermaltake Water 3.0 Extreme from Newegg (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835106220 ) :

"Pros:

Great for my AMD A-10 works amazing.
Cons:

Do not for the love of everything you hold dear buy this for a 1150, just don't
Other Thoughts:

Giving it 3 stars for it does work for AMD builds and does a really good job. And the software they give you meh and not downloadable off their site as far as I could tell. No software either for Linux based OS.
"

When the top favorable review was running it on... socket LGA 1150. :lol:

 

[Turb0Yoda]

The thing is I don't like the Photon reservoirs, and the drive bay ones are more to my liking. No clue on how the photon ones work and it looks wierd to me.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Finally, after 2 weeks exactly, my front panel is coming tommrow... Does anybody here use xfinity? If so how is it? Stable? Fast? I am planning on the 25mbps, over 12x faster than my at&t uverse. My uverse wasn't working since 8 in the morning, so really sick of this crap.

 

[Onus]

I was using XFinity until recently, but dropped it to the minimum needed to keep an email address (until I can change it) due to new data caps. It is otherwise fast, and in the last two years, reliable.

I have located the I/O plate for the MSI mobo...

 

[tiny voices]

I have Xfinity at my school apartment and I have no issues with it at all.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

+onus

About the data caps, isnt 300gb enough? I stream quite a bit of video, download games occasinally and web browse, lol, on my phone plan, me and 4 other smartphone users get by with 10gb of data, so 300 for the 5 of us should be plenty (I will use like 90% anyway, other people only stream facebook and youtube and occasionally videos)


any ways, I just gehtto rigged my old dell inspiron 530 back to life. When I get my standoffs, I will be moving it to my rosewill ranger m, and when I get a new psu, cx430 will go in here, and this will be my spare parts build. At the moment the specs

Spoiler

I just rebuilt my old dell pc and added a 320gb 2.5" hard drive and surprisingly it works! Planning on turning it into a nas, lol. Missing both side panels, but my motherboards standoffs are coming from nzxt tomorrow (free from rma), and will probably move it to my other old case.

Core 2 duo e4400
foxconn g33something lol
6gb ddr2 (had 2 of these pc's, one had fried psu, moved over the ram)
dell inspiron 530 case
320gb hdd

What do I need to turn it into a nas? And how do I move my windows 7 installer onto a usb, don't have a spare optical drive, in my main rig. I will wire it with ethernet and hide it behind my desk lol

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Also, might as well put these parts to use, no? And also, I got rid of red led fan and put a quiet one with no led's... lol, no need having a fancy looking nas

 

[Turb0Yoda]

g33 = crappy video chip that I have.
That machine is only better than mine in the RAM department. lol

Do you know what desk you have Pcbuilder?

 

[Pcbuilder123]

The machine is from 2007 hahaha.... Just wanna make a nas.

And sorry lol, asked but no idea except that it is from ikea. Really nice 3 piece desk, though

Spoiler

Anyways, what do I need to make it a nas?

 

[Turb0Yoda]

A whole ton load of HDD's and the linux software I put up here in the last few pages.... I just want one desk lol. My computer is in the dining room, thats how small this house is.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Update, sorry lol from home organizers in California, not ikea, lol. Also, is linux hard to install, free, and are there like online tutorials or something for setting up a nas. Also, can I do it on windows 7? I heard freenas is good

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Update, sorry lol from home organizers in California, not ikea, lol. Also, is linux hard to install, free, and are there like online tutorials or something for setting up a nas

linux is easier to install than windows unless you select to install using console. Just look it up bro.

 

[Pcbuilder123]

Alright, cool. Have it downloading right now lol, time to make a nas. Only have 300 gigs atm, but will probably buy a tb drive if it works out

 

[Turb0Yoda]

hmmm, If this old pc I got had a bigger HDD(80 gigs), i'd make it into a NAS.
