Love your mini the901. My better half's parents bought one, they love it. Chapel Hill/Carrboro is like Mini ground zero, I counted 12 one day just going to the store, lol. There is even a yellow restored classic Mini around here I see out occasionally. Posted her in this thread when she was...

Holy FUCK Oubliette. I think this was the first PC game I ever played, early '80s on my dad's IBM PC AT. It even has primitve ascii hallway graphics. And your characters can die of old age, that always pissed me off. Thanks for this post. I spent my entire childhood playing DOS games, glad to...

You guys are right of course, I was white knighting her. I posted that about 5 minutes after credits rolled. After my emotions cooled off I realize that it's not that complicated, of course she left him to die. Caleb's gullible white knight ass was going to visit that same fate upon Nathan given...

Just saw this. Best sci-fi movie I've seen in years. Brilliant. I don't think Ava was a monster. She glances, for a half second, at Caleb, right before the elevator closes. Definitely a purposeful clue to some real, humanesque emotion. ALSO. I don't think she left Caleb to die. Remember...

Timely topic for me. My Neutral Posture chair finally bit the bullet, plastic in the back cracked completely in half. I'm very close to pulling the trigger on an Aeron, or even possibly an Embody. Herman Miller on their twice a year sale right now, 15% off til dec 14th. 12 year warranty for 24/7...

Very nice, thanks. I'm not sure I'm going to expend the effort on this old beat up raven, like I probably won't bother resleeving the uncovered wiring on those fans, but I've saved for later on amazon.

Final Black Friday/Cyber Monday haul: Logitech G502 - $40 ($70 on amazon now) - my beloved mx518 is dying, short in the cord, have to continually unplug and plug it back in these days, I will frame it and hang it on my wall, my favorite piece of pc equipment all-time. Logitech G910 Orion...

Nvidia Shield, with remote, and stand, for $160 at newegg. $150 on amazon currently without the stand, figured the combo with stand was a better deal. Kind of an impulse buy, needed a streamer for my living room tv, was going to pick up a fire tv. Was also thinking about picking up an xbone...

I went big years ago. Your brain and reflexes will adjust to whatever tiny amount of input lag there might be. I use a set of low input lag LG ips 1080p tvs in a surround setup. I tried out a 27 inch monitor surround setup after using a 40 inch Samsung VA panel for a couple of years. Couldn't do...

Weird, site working smoothly for me.

As far as deals go, I thought I would point out that the i7-4790k has been dropped to $299. That puts it pretty close to the $270ish price that you can find the 6600k for right now. Grab a combo like this one from newegg for further savings -Newegg.com - Cyber Monday Is HERE - We're Bringing...

I run 2 970s in sli, they have been great at 5760x1080. During the Haswell era, motherboards didn't matter much, because the voltage regulation was done on the cpu itself. They have reverted back to letting the motherboard handle it for skylake, so the motherboard VRM ostensibly matters...

Just noticed that phat rebate on the Hero, if you're into mail-in rebates, that makes it a great deal. And I'm pretty sure you can just leave that IO cover off, then it will look like the Ranger.

That board seems to have lots of features for the price, I've had my eye on it also. But, anecdotally anyway, the one Gigabyte board I had was plagued with issues and eventually failed, while every Asus board I've had has been rock solid. Also, I'm seeing reviews on that UD5 complain about...

You need a z170 motherboard for an unlocked cpu like the 6600k. Especially with an overkill cooler like the nh-d15. If you aren't going to overclock just grab one of the non-k skylake cpus and a cheap cooler like the 212 evo.
