Galaxy SIII or HTC one x? Would wait for S4 but I need a phone tonight. Iphones are the fucking devil

[QUOTE=FuDy;39320580]Galaxy SIII or HTC one x? Would wait for S4 but I need a phone tonight. Iphones are the fucking devil[/QUOTE] What carrier

[QUOTE=Maximum Mod;39316437]I've been looking at cases around the size of my current one (HAF 922) with carry handles, and I recently found the Corsair Vengeance C70. Do you think it'd be a good buy? Also, do you think the Be Quiet! Dark Rock Pro 2 would fit in it?[/QUOTE] I got an agree on this post, but I don't know what it means :c Also, I don't know what colour to get it in if I get it, rate pls so I know what you guys think Artistic: Military Green Informative: Gunmetal Black Tool: Arctic White

[QUOTE=LordCrypto;39320602]What carrier[/QUOTE] AT&T on the one x, probably virgin if I get the galaxy

Maybe even an NZXT Switch 810 if I had saved more. [editline]22nd January 2013[/editline] Only reason I got it is because it was $70 on a Black Friday sale.

But I need carry handles since I often move my computer Or would it be possible to in some way put carry handles on a normal case?

If you're not super skinny I'd recommend the Storm Scout 2, built my brothers computer in it and it's super fucking solid. The handle is at the top, it's a bit bigger than the average hand and the case can take a bit of strength to pick up with just one hand, ~40-45 lbs after all the parts were in. If you can lift it it's really not a big deal, IMO the way the carrying handles are on the C70 makes it really awkward, if you extend your arms out then it's just in front of you knocking against your knees. With the Scout 2, you can just carry it one handed to your side.

[QUOTE=FuDy;39320846]AT&T on the one x, probably virgin if I get the galaxy[/QUOTE] Do you feel like rooting and stuff to get updates straight away? onex on att still doesn't have jb

Also, I forgot to ask, why is it that you don't like it/wish you got something else? [editline]23rd January 2013[/editline] Oops, missed your last post I'll check it out

I think the one x only has AT&t in Canada, don't really care for updating it or jailbreaking. Just need a good phone that actually works, unlike the two Iphones I bought fuck it, gonna get the galaxy

[QUOTE=Maximum Mod;39321216]Also, I forgot to ask, why is it that you don't like it/wish you got something else? [editline]23rd January 2013[/editline] Oops, missed your last post I'll check it out[/QUOTE] Just minor things about it such as not a whole lot of room in the back for cable management, can't fit 140mm fan CPU heatsinks afaik, when you have stuff in the 5.25" bays they don't sit flush with the covers because they screw in a little farther back, etc. It's a great case especially for the price I picked it up at, but I kind of like the look of the 500r and 550d more.

Anyone know of a good alarm clock? My phone is schizophrenic suddenly and so I need some software that isn't bullshit and will get me up in the morning.

Every so often my main computer will fail to "identify" my network, so when i mouse over the wifi icon it says identifying. The weird thing is that it still works for internet. The only real probably it causes is windows firewall asking because it's treated as a public network. What would be the fix for this

What would be the fix for this[/QUOTE] well it could probably be happening for a number of reasons, probably your DHCP license renewing or a bad driver or something?? If it's only happening with your PC maybe try and find an updated driver for your NIC or maybe try reserving an IP on your local network, one that wouldn't normally be used maybe? If it's happening on the entire network it's an issue with the router and you should restore it to factory defaults and maybe see if you can get DD-WRT or Tomato on it. I could be way off though, just what I would think to try.

[QUOTE=gman003-main;39305231]Because there are a lot of people who ask that question thinking that a Quadro is just an extra-powerful GeForce, planning to use it for gaming. So whenever anyone asks about Quadro (or FirePro) cards, I make damn sure that they actually know what they're getting into, and aren't just some dumbass gamer who thinks expensive = better. Anyways, I'd lean towards the 4000. Even though the 5800 has a lot more raw power, the Fermi design is a lot more efficient so I would expect much closer performance than the raw numbers give you (I couldn't find any specific benchmarks in my brief search, but I found some anectdotal evidence in favor of the 4000). Plus, the price is a lot lower (on the sites I checked) and the 4000 has double-precision compute. The only downside is the RAM difference - do you think you'll need more than 2GB on the card? If so, the 5800 might be your best option - the only other 4GB+ cards are the K5000 and 6000, both of which are much, much more expensive.[/QUOTE]Well the Quadros have really come down in price lately, I think perhaps I should wait until they release a Quadro based on Kepler. That's pretty funny that some people would think a Quadro is a gaming GPU, just tell them to get 2x 690's or a Powercolour HD 7990.

while we're on the subject Quadro and Geforce in one computer. Good idea or stupid idea?

[QUOTE=lavacano;39326159]while we're on the subject Quadro and Geforce in one computer. Good idea or stupid idea?[/QUOTE] Not really, no. It would be similar to having and Radeon and Geforce in the one machine.

You realize thats viable too? I have both in my machine at work Cause I needed a PCI card.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;39326285]You realize thats viable too? I have both in my machine at work Cause I needed a PCI card.[/QUOTE]Yeah, but they don't seem talk to each other as well as 2 of the same card.

Why would they talk to each other? Cards by the same manufacturer don't talk with each other until you use Crossfire or SLI...

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;39326893]Why would they talk to each other? Cards by the same manufacturer don't talk with each other until you use Crossfire or SLI...[/QUOTE]Well I was thinking you talking about that weird thing crossfire has. Why would you use 2 cards and not link them?

Because more monitors? Because you want to play multiple games at the same time? Because you just had a card lying around?. It doesn't really matter, it works.

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;39327030]Because more monitors? Because you want to play multiple games at the same time? Because you just had a card lying around?. It doesn't really matter, it works.[/QUOTE]Are you telling me you can run a game on multiple monitors with 2 different cards. I believe you could do it with the desktop, but I've never seen it work with games.

No you can run multiple games on multiple monitors...

[QUOTE=SEKCobra;39327098]No you can run multiple games on multiple monitors...[/QUOTE] Doesn't it minimise one game when you play another? Another question, can I access the NVENC chip in my 660 ti to record and stream games and if so, how?

The uber-high-end K5000, and the low-end 410. Prices are $1800 and $130, respectively.
