Yeah, just a wee bit late.

But man if I were to swap the case on my Dark Knight rig in the future I'd definitely get one of the new In Win cases. The black 904 is pretty bad ass, so is the 808. http://promotions.newegg.com/inwin/15-4531/index.html?icid=331447

Although is Newegg down for everyone else?

Newegg is not down for me (USA). Also, I managed to fix the PSU so it is not hovering anymore. It is a great power supply! And a 10 year warranty is a very comforting thing to have.

Finally got the optical installed in my mini ITX build, it is complete now! Later on I have another PC that has Windows 10 and I'm going to install Windows 7 back on it. Ugh.

I remembered that I put in MY DVD in wrong and now the case blocks it from fully opening... I really need to fix that.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I feel like the Saphire 390X card is so large that you could fit a Mini ITX case in the card.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Newegg is also down for me. It's down for others, I used http://www.isitdownrightnow.com/newegg.com.html as well

LinusTechTips was hacked

 

[Turb0Yoda]

None of their social media or forums show anything? Where did you get that from?

Dual boot Kali 2.0 and Win 7 Pro is running fine. I am going to test this weekend to see how the Windows 10 Upgrade affects GRUB... I plan on doing a dual boot with Kali and windows 01, and possibly a third OS, not sure what.

I installed two windows partitions and a kali partition in a bit less than 45 minutes or so... not bad...

How did you insert a DVD wrong? You can always buy a new drive for $15.

Good riddance. I cannot stand Linus or his community :lol:

Linus posts here! 😉

Under what username?

I believe it's LinusTechTips.

I'm not sure. That account has only one post in 2 years. It is creating a thread that asks an SLI question Linus would already know the answer to.

 

[Bossyfins]

I will admit it, the video Linus, actually Taran made about the Vex IQ system was nice

Ask one of the senior mods, there have been multiple attempts to post under that name, but I know one variation is definitely him.

LTT is by far the worst tech community I have ever seen but I now have around 1k posts there lol. I don't watch his videos though. I post there just like I would in any forum, mainly because of how active it is and their forum is easy to navigate through.

Someone posted this in the off topic part of the forum... worth a watch 😉

^ Much funny. First saw it on a livestream w/ Jay

 

[turkey3_scratch]

I have never been on the LTT forums so I just took a look there. I don't know what's wrong with people. They are all recommending 750W $100 EVGA Supernova B and G power supplies rather than B2 and G2.

That's the difference between people who know a quality PSU and people who wouldn't know a firecracker if they had one. :lol:

I got the Cryorig installed, it looks awesome, I will get a picture of it shortly! Only using one fan right now because I don't have a PWM fan extender (at least not handy), but the cable on the second fan is ridiculously short. Not to mention the clips that hold the fans to the heat sink are some of the most frustrating things I've ever worked with. I might try one of the fans I pulled from the H440 since I think that has a longer cable.

 

[turkey3_scratch]

The Cryorig is a nice looking cooler (much nicer than the 212 EVO) and performs better than it for the same cost. Anyways, I decided I might halt on upgrading my GPU right away. I figure that I hear all this news of the die shrink on the next series of Nvidia and AMD cards, so rather than buying the $330 390 right now, perhaps I'll just buy a $600 GPU from next-gen AMD or Nvidia. I can wait. I can be patient

Yeah that's what I was thinking too, because I think I'm going to skip SLI'ing the TwinFROZR that I have in favor of saving money for getting a 980TI (or the Pascal equivalent), and then I could take the TwinFROZR that I have and drop it into my mini ITX rig, and the 760 would go to another machine. I would like to get the MSI Lightning, but that seems a bit too much to stomach, but the regular TwinFROZR would definitely be nice, because I want to go 4K at some point next year.

I believe you're thinking of the H5/H7, Gunit bought the R1.

I'm still waiting for a cheap Z77/Z68 mobo...

Yes I did, I figured it was worth the extra $40 but man was that thing more of a pain to install than I would have thought. I would have thought it was going to be - uninstall the 212, install this thing. The clips holding the fans suck, I can't stress that enough.

As far as a cheap Z77/Z68 board goes, good luck. It took me several months to get that Zotac board that sits in my mini ITX rig.
