    Who’s the go to for soft tubing fittings these days? Compression and Quick-Disconnect.

    Looking for insight on what are some of your preferred manufactures of fittings specifically for soft tubing these days. As nice and simple as air cooling is, getting the itch to keep things more quiet again. Sounds like an airfield as soon as I try to crank some high frames on 4k at high...

    Thermaltake The Tower 500 users?

    Anybody around these parts use the terribly named The Tower 500 from Thermaltake? Looking to update my case and this looks like an interesting option that does allow—though slightly compromised—as large as CEB boards according to the manual. Just trying to find some more actual user feedback...

    So which KB/M gaming-oriented software is actually good these days?

    I've had enough issues with G-Hub and know there's another long thread about it so won't hash it out here. Also have issues every time I try to order new key caps for my G810 they are out of stock. So I think I'd rather spend that money toward moving away from Logitech G products. With that...

    Used 2080ti BIOS Weirdness

    I acquired a used 2080ti and through a couple hours of Furmark and Unigine Benchmarks it seems stable. Clocks appear to work as they should. I think Fan went up to 60% max and temp hit 88C before seeing clock throttling which appears to be what I should expect with the card based on my limited...

    iPhone SE (2020) owners or experiences?

    Looking at getting the oldest kid a first cell phone. Verizon has a Kid’s Plan that would only add about $11 after taxes and fees onto what we pay already. Then it comes with other features like up to 20 whitelist only contacts, another GPS tracking feature, etc as opposed to a traditional...

    Is a Mac Pro (2013) worth it these days?

    I asked UnknownSouljer the other day his thoughts on if a trash can is still worth it but am curious what the rest of the [H] Apple community thinks as well. Use case is some music editing with hope to improve quality. Second is to start using it for photo management and editing. Third is...

    Wanting to replace monitor but so many choices

    Wanting to replace my Dell U2711 as I’ve really gotten away from any serious color work and anything that I do now is fine if it’s a bit off. It’s also missing some of the more modern amenities. I want to definitely increase my refresh rate. I had to make a decision when I went with this one...

    How would you play through of all Zelda games?

    I have not done a complete play through of any Zelda games since Ocarina of Time. I have the consoles handy to go through I think every game so I was wondering how would you all do it? In order of release date? Following Nintendo's suggested timeline? Another way I'm not thinking about...

    Anybody switched from AT&T legacy unlimited to U-Verse TV unlimited?

    I'm looking to trim back on some of the monthly bills. I took a look at the AT&T Mobile Share plans now that they offer an unlimited data option. We already have U-Verse TV, and not looking to get rid of it anytime soon. It looks like even after FAN discounts, the mobile share will save about...

I just test fitted into a Define R4 and it looks great mounted with the fan intaking from the bottom because the stickers are already placed the right way and the colors will match the build.

    Safe to clone from one SSD to another?

    Are there still no 4 ASTC Tuner Cards?

    I'm wondering if there are any 4-tuner ASTC PCI-E cards on the market or if there are any coming? It's one thing that is holding me back from wanting to build an HTPC. I know there is the Ceton InfiniTV card but it's for cablecards and I only use over the air antenna. :(
