Just for the record, I'm not a Razer fan. I never have or will own their products. I have tried them, not impressed for what it costed. My friend got the Kraken Pros and my ATH M50s sounded much better. Even my Panasonic RP HTF 600 ($30 budget cans) sounded better.

razer products are targeted at 12yrolds who don't know any better

Just like Dre Beats. Lol

exactly, I still laugh when I see people wearing them around whenever I go into the city

They are one of the best business ventures from a marketing standpoint in modern history. Profit margin is INSANE.

Just like Dre Beats. Lol

There's probably a million products that would fall in this category. :lol:

 

[tiny voices]

True. I mean we all buy GPUs don't we? You don't even want to know the markup on those.

Dang this thread picks up and runs. I like having a mechanical keyboard. I like the way the blues type, sometimes I could do away with the clicking, sometimes it doesn't bother me at all.

I have this little i3-4360 in my system right now.. Here's a CPU-Z



With one GPU it plays games just fine.

I'd probably get a nice baseball glove with the money, doesn't have to be the best, probably about $80-$125 depending on position you play. And you need to get a glove based on the position you want to play. If you wanna pitch get a bucket and a bunch of baseballs.

I'm still rocking a pair of Logitech G5s on my home systems. I've had to disassemble both of them recently to remove years' worth of cat fur wrapped around the wheel axle (a dressmaker's pin got most of it, but I decided to do it right). I'll use them until they wear out. I've also got a wireless Logitech I use on my laptop and / or on test systems, and may get another one. I bought a G9 a while back, but button-mapping doesn't work right on it in Guild Wars, so when my wife's rodent died, I gave that one to her. Its right-click needs a LOT of pressure, but it's working fine otherwise.

IMHO needing a lot of pressure on the L/R buttons is a good thing, used a g500 for a while and it would click if you just rested yer finger on it... was meant to be for 'fps gahmingz' but I ended up just clicking it a lot when I was just trying to move my cursor on it.... or accidentally unloading a shell into a teammate in tanks O.O

I'm trying to unload my ASRock Z77E-ITX and semi-golden delidded i5-3570K. I would gladly trade for a nice 1150 CPU otherwise just looking for cash. PM me if interested, I've had it on OCN's marketplace for a while and it will go to eBay soon.

 

[Lutfij]

Have you tried the deals section here on Tom's?

 

[stickg1]

Just did

[Onus]

Looks like another mod deleted your listing. Did he say why? I'm at work, and couldn't tell if there were pictures or not.

 

[stickg1]

Yeah I didn't have "Tom's Hardware" written on the note with my username and date. I'd fix it but can't really be arsed to redo the entire thread atm.

 

[ImDaBaron]

Almost done with the mITX build...just need to finish up some of the wiring and fire it up

 

[Onus]

The only builds that should fire up are the ones containing PSU-shaped objects.

Or more specifically Raidmax PSUs

One thing about this board is it didnt allow me to point the CPU Cooler to move the hot air to the back fan. Not sure I like the way it's positioned now.

 

[Rammy]

I thought you went for the ASRock Z97E? That should have been fine.

I should take a picture of the computer at my work that has the Apevia PSU with neon green cables and the old school multi-colored motherboard - that thing is a sight to behold. :lol:

No I went 860K so went with a FM2 board. No point in me getting the G3258 especially when I end up playing somewhat CPU intensive games. It actually would have been easier just do to water cooling in this case. I think a H100i would be perfect in this case.

Stick - I will be playing left field so the glove I want is an outfielders glove. Yeah I Wont go over 110$ so I found this

PURE OUTFIELD. Wide open for balls (Baseballs...) http://www.sportchalet.com/product/mizuno+mvp+prime+12.75+gmvp1277p+ball+glove.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search

For in and outfield as its smaller... http://www.sportchalet.com/product/wilson+a1k+1787+11.75+baseball+glove+%26%238211-+black-gunmetal.do?sortby=ourPicks&refType=&from=Search

I bet lol....I had a friend who just recently built a computer and you can guess what power supply it had in it(just mentioned it above)...I saw the blue fan and knew immediately. These are the things you cant trust Newegg reviews with. I believe it had mostly 4-5 stars on Newegg.

Here it is:

The fact that Apevia and Raidmax are given 5 stars but Seasonic PSUs get 3 star reviews because of bad shipping and refunds - that is proof that store reviews are not to be trusted.

GUnit -I assume you use whiteknight most of the time? What are white knight and dark knight used for?

I shall be burning Linux Distros to DVD's for Cyber Security. I could have gotten paid, but I am not doing anything special. The teacher would have done the same ting himself, all I'm doing is doing it for him, and I already have the distros anyway. Would have been a buck per disk and I'm only doing four for now. Not my disks either.
