    Which 970 Are You Buying?

    Well I feel like a big fat dope - I ordered 2 ASUS 970s 100% on the advertised 0dba (fan shutoff) feature. I always like my PC to be as silent as possible on idle/low load. Little did I know many of the other manufacturers have the same feature, and sounds like have better cooling etc. to...

    bump. Most/all of everything in the title is pending or sold, is it appropriate etiquette to create a new thread? Maybe just "Matt's FS/FT"

    Best headphones for $200 +/-?

    Also why I avoided the M50X so we're in the same boat there. I'll throw out one more idea: Mad Dogs from Mr. Speaker, $300. Awesome guy so I'll give a shameless plug ;) I hear all kinds of rave reviews on these, don't know about the soundstage tho. https://mrspeakers.com/

    Best headphones for $200 +/-?

    Yep, they're not made to be super-portable, but they hit a lot of other items on your wishlist so I figure'd I'd sing my praises :D If you are looking at harder-to-drive phones and need an amp on the cheap, you might consider building an O2 - it was a fun project for me, sounds terrific, and...

    Best headphones for $200 +/-?

    My $0.02, for what it's worth. Have you considered the Audio-Technica A900X? I've had them for about 2 years now and they're my favorite pair. They're 42ohm so they sound great directly from a phone or from my 2011 MacBook Air, which is how I use them most of the time. Price has gone up on...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    I was looking at fan specs at Mouser and Newark and found a few similar, but not saving enough $$ to try, NB has the right RPM range so might as well. And yeah, I couldn't find the datasheet on the Nidec either. Best I can tell it's rated about 2/3 the wattage at 12V, might be enough but why...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    Anyone tried one of these Nidec fans by chance? http://www.moddiy.com/products/Nidec-Beta-SL-8015-12V-0.09A-Ultra-Silent-80mm-Cooling-Fan.html Only place I can find Noiseblockers in the US is FrozenCPU, the 80x15 is $18 + 8 shipping :rolleyes: That's one mighty expensive little fan ...

    Silverstone SST-FT03-Mini (Mini-Itx)

    Just me or does anyone else start cursing after a few minutes working on this case? Getting the video card out is an exercise in patience ... upgrading my 670 to a 780 and will be doing the case floor cutout to fit, will see how it goes. Thought I'd change out my PSU fan as well, it's a Gold...

    780: EVGA worth $40 over PNY?

    Thanks for the input folks - think I will go with the PNY and use the $40 on the next upgrade :D

    780: EVGA worth $40 over PNY?

    Looking at 780s, I need a blower-style card for my case. Best prices I'm seeing new on the web for new 780's right now have the EVGA reference @ $510, and I would prefer sticking with EVGA ... but I saw a PNY reference card @ $470 ... (Been awhile since I posted here at the [H], not sure if...

    SeaSonic M12II Power Supply Lucky Draw

    The Platinum 1000W, because it's whisper quiet and beastly powerful at the same time.

    Cheap iTunes aggregator NAS?

    Thought this was the most appropriate forum for this, mods can of course say otherwise. Got my dad setup with a home theater system, including a Sonos for playing his iTunes, radio etc. Only issue is he just hates (for whatever reason) leaving his laptop on and within wifi range, or the wifi...

    Apple CEO Compares Surface To A Flying Car

    Our products are AMAZING, everyone else's? Meh. I haven't used it, mind you, but I don't need to to know this. You know what's compromised and confusing to me? The iPad. No I don't need a giant iPhone, thanks. Something I could actually get work done on? You know, use a real keyboard...

    What Do "Normal" People Think Of Windows 8?

    Change ANYTHING and your average luser has a shit fit. Every software update or upgrade, no matter how benign or what improvements/features/etc are added, predictably causes mass hysteria among non-geeks. Last week we updated the EMR software at a doctor's office and OMG IT'S LIKE STARTING...

    Maine Candidate’s World of Warcraft Persona Stirs Debate

    Sounds like another socialist to me - she can play WoW all day every day, would do the world a bit of good. Not that whoever else runs for that office is likely to do much better.

    Apple: iPhone 5 Defect “Normal”

    Chromatic aberration, I believe it's called - and it would be ridiculous except this is an Apple product we're talking about, people pay through the nose expecting perfection/"it just works" etc.

    The Worst BlackBerry Ad..Ever
