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

      So is Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, just to mention a few. What's your point? Everyone is a threat from their enemies' perspective. I'd say that Israel is only a threat to their immediate enemies like Hamas, Hezbollah and the Iranian regime, not to anyone else.
    • Signal accuses UK government of using child safety as cover for mass surveillance

      By astropheed · Posted

      The government is not the good guy either. You propose 99% of people require that the government overreach and govern their freedom of information and privacy, while ignoring the government is made up 100% of people, of which 99% are (as you described) brain dead. You can't have both. The reality is Signal is absolutely right and the government is doing what it has always done. Ignoring that we are their boss and grabbing all the power they possibly can to make sure we aren't. Your (societies) ###### parenting is not reason enough as to why I can't have a safe platform for my data/information. Thinking the government is helping is precisely what they are targeting psychologically to take suckers like you for a ride. "Think of the children" was, has, is, and will always be a mechanism of control. In the rare occasion it's actually essential the mass consensus has always been there and it doesn't become a debate.
