Gonna settle on this even though it isnt 1080p.. The other 1080p one is a dual core.

Looks nice so far!

If only I had a better camera 😛 iPad pics what can I say. But gee, it is so much nicer working on an ATX case. Another nice thing about this is it has an 8-fan controller in the back of it, as well as some sort of LED controller. There is a ton of room for cables. If you look at the black "NZXT" glowing on the bottom, that's where I have all the cables stuffed. Man, I'm never going back to an mATX case. And the best part is how quiet and non-vibrative it is.

So here's some pictures of my new-ish Zotac board:

Nice! Welcome to the Zotac club!

 

[Bossyfins]

Dang it! Now I want to join the ZOtac club. Wonder if they have any X99 offerings

 

[turkey3_scratch]

Cool board! Lots of different colors.

I've worked in mATX cases it's definitely not fun if you have to replace a drive or do something that requires wire manipulation. That's what makes ATX very nice. White/black is the same one that I have.

I haven't seen any X99 or Z170 offerings yet. But who knows that could change. Although the one that tiny voices has, and the one that I have - there's no mention of either one on PC Part Picker.

I used netstat -a at home...
*groans*
So. Many. Established... Less than 10, but this is at idle...

Car meet here.. Hosted by Low and Fitted... Let's see what Google says.. or Tiny, whichever comes first(most likely tiny since I'm restarting the PC and phone is being used for an agenda atm)

Their Facebook..... hmm... lets see, if I go, how long it takes for my mom to drag me out.. I say 5 seconds tops.

 

[tiny voices]

Like any meet, there will be some nice cars and some rice.

So I ordered my CPU cooler today (Noctua NH-L9i), I'm just waiting for the Raven to be released before I start putting this thing together. Woohoo!

 

[Onus]

I'm taking the day off tomorrow. I'm going to finish a B85 review, start on another, and possibly finish an AM1 "Fitness for purpose" review (that may not get published).

I got my G27 today! So much fun!

Oh is that a racing wheel for PC? I haven't seen a thing like that in over a decade. I used to use a racing wheel connected to my Gamecube and play Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2.

 

[tiny voices]

Yeah, there is a huge community of people who play racing sims and The G27 is one of the most popular wheels.

What racing games do you (and them) play?

 

[tiny voices]

I mostly play Assetto Corsa. People also play Project Cars and iRacing. BeamNG Drive is fun too.

New mouse in the house. Logitech G303 Daedalus Apex Performance Edition mouse with the the PMW3366 sensor and so far, much preferable over the SS Rival. It works with my grip, light and the sleeved cable is much appreciated. Was leaning towards the Zowie FK2 but this was $40 so I jumped.

Great for claw/finger tip and it glides well on my Goliathus mat.

The 2 year warranty is a huge plus.

 

[Turb0Yoda]

Man I look at my mouse mat, its Almost done for... Peeling apart...
Wait, there is a 950 now???! It just showed up on the side bar... Interesting.

Left to right:

Steel Series Rival, Deathadder 2013, Logitech M100 and Logitech G303.

Favorite? As of right now the Deathadder by far. But this G303 is pretty smooth... I'll give more of an update in a month or so and see if it's still alive. I'm hard on mice... the M100 is a trooper though. It's my "go to" when a mouse "stops working".

The Rival is being RMA'd and was informed it'll be 2 weeks before it'll be processed being they (SS) and moving their warehouse. 🙁 Once that's done I'm gonna sell it.

Interesting, I've thought about getting a G303 at some point to replace my EVGA TorqX because it's too sensitive for a work PC, any non gaming use with it?

The ones I have and have used: Roccat Kone Pure, EVGA TorqX, Corsair Vengeance M95, Corsair Vengeance M65 RGB, and Thermaltake Level 10.

My favorite is the Corsair M95, least is the Roccat Kone, mainly because I hated the noisy driver software and the mouse was too small for my somewhat large hands.

I want to get the EVGA half height card for my HTPC, I think it would make an excellent companion for a Pentium G3258. My GTX 660 is definitely starting to show its' age.
