haha, that works.

the only thing i hate in your setup overall is the gainward.... i hate gainward...... i had an MX500 or something a LONG time ago in my AMD 2200 setup melt to my DFI lanparty......... GAY

how come your RAM isn't set up in dual channel mode?

Is it not the same sticks? dual channel is made by matching the colors (except on MSI boards)

Seeing as the PSU slot is at the bottom, is it hassle get the 24 pin connector to connect to the mobo connector, is it a long stretch for the wires? I dont wanna buy and then not be able to connect the psu lol.

@ zer0day:

I had NO trouble connecting any of the PSU cables to anywhere on the motherboard. The 24 pin was a not a problem, and I did not need an extension. The only somewhat tricky thing I did was routing the 8 pin cable near the back of the case actually in between the video card and the motherboard. I saw that done in a magazine, and it worked out great. YMMV as it depends on the placement of these connectors on your motherboard.

As mentioned the front panel wires may be a bit of a stretch depending on your mobo. Shoot me a PM with what mobo and PSU you plan to use and if you still have any questions and I'd be glad to help if I can.

@ Groovedude:

Thanks for the compliment on the desk. I love the thing! It is so nice to have a such a large workspace, and it was especially nice when I was still in school (I just graduated in April). Of course, the only negative is that I sometimes still manage to fill it up with junk and it looks quite messy! No fault of the desk of course, but still.... ;)

the funny thing is that there is dvi below it...

So? the video card he's plugged into right now are DVI. But he's using VGA monitors with DVI converters. So with that awesome setup, he's got lesser quality video from his monitors.

I own a Samsung 205BW which has DVI/VGA. Didn't noticed the difference when it was connected to my laptop that only has VGA.

There's a slight colour difference, and it's more noticeable in movies. I can see it, but i've heard many people can't. Likewise, I really can't tell the difference between 1080i and 1080p, even though many of my friends supposedly can. Who knows? lol

but yeah, putting the vga in there makes your monitor look at the thing as being vga. If you use a DVI cable, you'll notice a difference from the VGA. since you have VGA in there, you're only seeing what a VGA would look like

    • Classic Outlook vs New Outlook — Which one do you prefer and why?

      By tsupersonic · Posted

      When you're in enterprise IT environment, you're kinda forced into it...otherwise I'm not touching any mail client for personal use.  I can't stand New Outlook. It's complete trash - half the features I need in (Classic) Outlook are just missing in New Outlook. I haven't talked to a single person who actually likes the new client.

      I think it's cute that Apple is implementing their tools at precisely the same evolutionary level as other devices' tools. In other words, I see no innovation; it's "the same but different." "Hey Siri, help me write this document about shoes." Powered by Google. "Sure thing, while we're here, can I interest you on some Nike's? They're on sale at Target right now!"
