Is that a graphics card shaped like a gun?
There is no explanation for this. None.

It's actually a case for your graphics card. Why you would need one is beyond me.
Because given the price you will only be able to afford one for your many computers, so they give you a case to transport it safely between your computers :v:

If those screens had costed 1/10th the price, I'd so have bought 3.
[QUOTE=benjgvps;27552814]Yes, though can that MacBook be used in extreme heat, extreme cold, high vibration environments or have a spill-proof keyboard?[/QUOTE]
It causes extreme heat environments, making extreme cold environments much easier to handle :science:

it's just the packaging, at this point XFX have become masters of unnecessary packaging
their PSU packaging looks like they tried to make it into a puzzle, even after seeing unboxing videos it confused me a little

In modern days, the most expensive piece of graphics tech I know of is the Quatro Plex. It's pretty much just Nvidia's best cards stuffed into an external PCI Express enclosure.

[QUOTE=benjgvps;27552814]Yes, though can that MacBook be used in extreme heat, extreme cold, high vibration environments or have a spill-proof keyboard? Nope. MacBooks are pretty durable as a consumer machine, though they're not suited for situations where a Toughbook is needed.[/QUOTE]
They aren't suited for any situation.
Well, the only thing justified about monster cables is that they have a lifetime warranty.
[QUOTE=Mike!;27557570]Well, the only thing justified about monster cables is that they have a lifetime warranty.[/QUOTE]
Yeah if you're a musician or dj it's nice to bring in a cable that breaks to any monster dealer and get it replaced for free. The hdmi cable behind your tv probably doesn't get much wear though.

you have to admit, you can either buy an alien ware or save half as much with twice the build quality by making a custom build.

Well, I assume some BOSE stuff may be worth it, and the quality is there, but consumer products are generally overpriced.

I wonder if you can use that as your primary monitor. Opens up some pretty damn cool ideas.
[QUOTE=blackdenton;27557772]Yeah if you're a musician or dj it's nice to bring in a cable that breaks to any monster dealer and get it replaced for free.[/QUOTE]
Or, if you have any sense at all, you buy a box of Neutrik connectors and some cable (I like Canare cable) and make your own for a 20th of the price with industry standard connectors that will always have spares available :)
If it breaks, 30 seconds with a soldering iron and it is fixed.
I made like 10 3M-6M Quater inch jack-jack (With gold plated connectors, NP2X-B!) leads for a total cost of around £25 and an hour soldering.
