I either launch games directly through the launchers like Steam and Battlenet or I hit the Windows key and start typing the name of the game. My desktop never shows as I always have many windows open and tiled across my monitors!

I enjoyed the first Serious Sam as a LAN game to play with friends in real life. I haven't been much interested in any of the later releases though.

I am not too interested in one right now but by the time I buy something it should be under MSRP! My 1080ti still does quite well with the older games I'm playing on my current 144hz 2560x1440 LG 27GL850.

Yes, for me going from a single core 2.6-2.8ghz S939 Athlon 64 3000+ with 2gb of DDR400 and an AGP ATI 9600 pro to a Q6600(at 3.6ghz) with 2gb of DDR2 1066 and a BFG 8800gt 512mb gpu was a large boost. I do think that one the largest all around improvements I'll ever appreciate would be when I...

They are still around in other markets. http://www.palit.com/palit/vgapc.php?mid=2&subid=321&lang=en

They said in the post that it is being used to drive their other monitors so the 1080s will properly drop to idle clocks.

Hello, I'm interested in knowing more about that geode and the cool stained glass lamp you have there. May I please have a better picture of the two and perhaps an overall shot of the desk? You can PM me if you don't want to post in here. Thanks for any reply! :)

Are you planning on only using the computer as a source? If you still want to have it with working 5.1 for your media and games you could try to make it work using the analog outputs of your sound card to each amplifier you have dedicated to whatever group of speakers. It's just going to be...

You could always just get a spare back panel for the 540 as it will fit on both sides of the case. I wouldn't mind a spare windowed panel to toss on the backside of my 540, especially if I do go with a custom loop, but that would mean I'd actually have to manage that side of the case!

Don't get the MSI Armor 1080ti, get one with a better cooler.

I also still have my ti4600 vivo card.

Some big Genelecs you have there.

Yeah I'd be wanting to add my 1080ti or whatever other card down the line. I'd rather have my GPU on water than my CPU if I had a choice.

I'm still using my H110, the computer has ran 24/7/365 for the past 4 years or so. One of the fans started making noise so I bought some "quiet" 3000rpm Noctuas as replacements. I've been looking at swapping over to a custom loop but I want to see how my delidding attempt on this 4790k goes...

I use a Philips BDM4065UC that runs 3840x2160 at 60hz via displayport from 2-3 feet away daily. I use it more like having multiple monitors most of the time as I have several applications and even a windowed game or video up at one time on the screen.
