Major, I will keep those tests in mind for testing it out and being rough with the hardware. Thank you for your input!! I'll definitely put the hardware through the torture test. :) Nate, I finally got a chance to upload my image.... this came from my cell phone, so I hope it shows what you're needi...

I'm sure I'm capable of soldering stuff on. I don't have a soldering iron, but I'm sure I could pick one up. Do you know if there is anything involved in removing the old ones? I don't want to get zapped! LOL! Also, do you know where I may pick new ones up at? This is territory that I've never explo...

Darn forum won't let me upload with my phone... I'll attach a picture later I suppose.

I picked up a used, and rather old (P4 @ 2.66GHz), computer for my father-in-law, to replace a pile of crap that he was using. I made the mistake of not checking it out inside before buying. It wasn't expensive, but I still have worries of possible problems. I noticed multiple capacitors were ruptur...

I only asked about overclocks, because I originally heard that the 2700k was overclocking a little better than the 2600k. That could have been complete garbage, quite honestly. I'll watch for the Sandybridge-E processors, as you mentioned in your write-up, to see what I go with. I'm vastly due for a...

I'm very disappointed in the 2700k, however I'd be interested in seeing what these overclock to, and compare them to the temps and stats of the 2600k. I knew it would just be a speed bump, but only 100MHz is what let me down. Why didn't you do an OC portion of the article as well as temps?

Ahh misleading title. It hasn't been launched, only officially unveiled. Bah! I got excited to see a tablet that I'm actually interested in... and it possibly being out! I wouldn't mind a tablet or something for my trip to Chicago in 3 weeks, but drats... I'll have to wait! After some brief research...

I think these look really nice.... and man do they support a lot per channel! Now.... is the price worth it??

What is your case? I have the Scythe controller, its ok, but if I did it again I would pick up a Lamptron FC5v2 or FC8 I have the coolermaster cosmos... the original one. I know there was a second revision out there. I'll keep those in mind and look when I get home. I don't recall seeing that compa...

I'm looking for a decent fan controller, that displays fan RPM's and is low profile. I have a Coolermaster Cosmos case, and it's not quite friendly with the door on the front. I'm trying to build out my watercooling setup, and this is the last piece of my puzzle. 2 bay controllers are 100% out of th...

Uhh no. I have bought a badge in the past, but it was a really nice Radeon 9800 Pro badge, when I was proud to have such a killer card in my first built machine. I think I only paid a buck for it.

have you thought about setting up a cheap storage server? maybe you could animate a old pc or something? I have, but the wife already hates 1 computer running 24x7. My old hardware was high end back in the day, so it's not very power efficient either. I have the external version of this card and it...

The resale value sucks that bad, eh? I guess I haven't looked into them in many years.

Something like that could definitely work... albeit mixed reviews. I think it should do fine for my opticals.

I thought you were getting rid of the SRT-4? What ever happened to Godzilla!? I just changed the plugs and wires in my Grand Prix, since it doesn't look like the original owner ever has. So being at 83,000 miles, too.... I figured it was about time.. I must have changed them right around the time yo...

Do you guys have any recommendations for a SATA controller card? I have some free PCI-e slots, I think a 1x and a 16x, and I'm in need of some more SATA ports. I'm still a good 5-8 months away from a new system build, maybe longer? I've got 5 HDD's, 1x DVD-RW, and 1x DVD-ROM.... but only 6 on-board ...

Nice write up, Nate. When you root your phone, download a program called "Shoot Me." You can take screenshots of your phone, rather than taking a picture of your phone.

Any updates?

I also hope everyone had a awesome holiday weekend!

/me waits impatiently!!

Nice write-up, but I'm not very impressed with the card. It's a good thing I'm not in the market for a new card quite yet! At $369 the AMD Radeon HD 6970 is priced to compete with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 and we have to say the two cards traded blows. Why did you say the cards "blow" a ...
