    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    Well guess what? My mom just asked me what I wanted for my birthday, up to $100 (they're tight on cash atm). SO in that case, I asked her if I payed for part of it, if she would get me a $140 case, the 500R to be specific. She said yes, so I will be getting the white version of the Corsair 500R...

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    I'm only running 1-2 HDDs so that doesn't really affect me :p

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Yeah but it's another $40...There's virtually NO difference in the height, width or length between the 400R and the 500R, save for a mere .2" taller, and looking at the pics I don't see ANY difference between it and the 400R except the 500R has a cover over the top fan slots, the 200mm fan...

    Machine is finally coming together. Little overclock so far.

    That's what mine looks like right now lol

    Corsair Carbide 400R Mid-Tower Chassis Review

    Awesome review. I actually think I will go for this, as well as contact Corsair about the screws, instead of getting the HAF 932 advanced. This looks really good and it's a lot cheaper. I just need something bigger than what I have. Mine is a really small mid-size tower. CM Elite Black. It's...

    BF3 early access codes

    Keep in mind that's not *true* ultra settings. When you select Ultra, in the beta it resets the Ultra settings back down to High, even though it says "Ultra." The only Ultra setting that stays on is the 4x MSAA.

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    No problem, I was confused as to why my framerate takes a hit when I put Ultra on. I'm guessing that was because of the MSAA.

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    Since they are using a different version of the beta, maybe the test version they're using allows Ultra? I myself can't tell a difference between High and Ultra ingame. *EDIT* Okay, I've come to the conclusion that SOME of the Ultra features aren't active in the beta even when you turn them...

    NVIDIA Releases Battlefield 3 Graphics Guide

    What gets me is, they're using beta software. ULTRA IS DISABLED FOR THE BETA. DICE themselves announced this. So is this guide BSing us on their Ultra talk? My favorite part:

    Well I get a call from my friend Austin (the guy's son) and he's all like "dad's computer isn't working again...it won't turn on...I think he plugged his printer into the wrong port--" and as son as I heard that part of the voicemail I went *FACEPALM* "He plugged it into the eSATA port and...

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    I was actually considering the HAF 932 Advanced before I posted this...I really like the way it looks.

    Getting dual 6970's for BF3...need a bigger case

    Haven't been too active on here lately, and that's due to the BF3 beta. :p Anyway, I'll get to the point. I just did some upgrades....quite a bit actually. New motherboard, CPU, PSU, CPU cooler, and GPU. My newest GPU is an XFX Radeon 6970 (already got it overclocked). My problem is, and I...

    Building PCs for friends pays off!

    Huh. His son texted me today and said it's STILL running as slow as the other PC was. I'm thinking his HDD may be bad. His OS is running off of a 1.2TB WD Caviar Green, and his backup is a 500GB Seagate. Both are SATA.

    BF3 early access codes

    They picked a bad map for the beta. Operation Metro was the same map on the Alpha, and it's not too fun. I got onto a locked Caspian Border EA Testing server. 64 people. Oh...my...God....so beautiful. One of the player's first comments was "Now...THIS is Battlefield." which was followed by a...

    Building PCs for friends pays off!

    My friend's dad does a lot of video/photo editing, website building, etc. All of which require a lot of CPU power. He had been trying to do all of this on outdated AMD CPUs. By outdated I mean his setup before I built him one was an AMD Athlon X2 @ 2.2GHz, 3GB DDR2 RAM, on-board ATI graphics via...
