Du like my modifications?

Hi
I recently customized my pc and i would like to share the pics with you!
These pics are taken with my web cam.
thanks

Sweet?
Lol i like the color...
And thats a Dell case isnt it?

nice!!! - but i suggest you move the fan which is below GPU a bit off from the metal pieces of you case(it will make less noise)
check mine out!! -- I keep it without sidepanel, and the orange fan (the fan not the cpu cooler) -- it blows the air straight on the RAM + it gives fresh air to my CPU cooler, without that orange fan my temps are at least 5C higher ,, oh and its held in place with 3 cooper wires (i dont know the right name for them, but thats as close as I could think of)!! maybe youll get some new Ideas!!

Na its not a dell case this is it: http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Cases/MIDI+Tower/Arianet+1002+Black+Screwless+Gaming+Case+w%2F+Silver+Side+Vents+%28No+PSU%29+?productId=35366
And kristaps suprisingly the fans make the same amount of noise as my xbox 360 which is pretty quiet.
Oh and about the side-off thing i like it but it wouldnt look good with my case.

Your 360 is quiet? The few ones I have heard sound like little jet engines. Is it a more recent model or is it one of the originals? - (I know its way off-topic for me to ask, but I am kinda curious if the newer 360 builds are better).

The CPU cooler is ZALMAN CNPS9700 LED ... its a pretty good cooler, comparing to the stock cooler it dropped my temps by about 30C !! Its all cooper (cooper gives out heat faster), it has also got a AMD mount, and a fan speed controller!!! its real good, but also a bit pricey (at least for me) !!

Unbranded Alienware....lol the screwless PCI slots made me think Dell ^_~

I didnt order it from amazon-- but from a internet shop in Latvia!!
My CPU is intel (socket 775 - core 2 duo) but the cooler came with mount also for AM2, 754, 939, 940 sockets !!! just read some reviews and look in some internet shops or something!!

i was asking if you could buy stuff off amazon uk and get it cheaper

Wondering what you think of this laptop an wether I should get it
Specs:
17.3" Full HD 1080 Display
Intel i5 (No idea what clock, anyone else know?)
6GB Ram
320GB HD
Blueray player
HDMI
Multitouch trackpad (Important!)
Are there anyother laptops I shold consider first, preferably around this price and spec. but spec doesn't matter much considering im coming from a MBA lol |
Thanks

Amazon: "There is a newer version of this product available"

Oh yeah Thanks Didn't see this when searching for e-series Vaio's
Any idea if this one has a bluray player? Not needed just wondering
lol it's amazing how that £20 can make it look so much dearer

Go for it man it's great the i series cpus are quad core so i ur case 2.53GHz *4 = 10.12GHz (not that you don't know that )

I presumed i3 = 3 core i5 = 5 core and i7 = 7core lol
Thanks anyway You anyideas what the difference between em is then??

Wait I was mistaken read these:

Haha lol

if ya listen to me , the way u buy ur vaio is this
> goto ebay.com (or co.uk)
> type in sony vaio
> hit "PC Laptops & Netbooks" on the side
> hit "buy it now" tab
> hit price highest first
> change "items on page" to 200
> goto a page that ur comfortable with the price range and start opening up tabs and when u found one with decent style , gpu and price , u know u got the best offer possible
(same way i buy my phones)
also it goes like this
desktop:
i7 > 4/6/8 core
i5 > 4 core
moblie:
i7 > 4core
i5 > 2 core with turbo
i3 > 2 core

Sweet thanks man Great advice, that's what I was doing on Ammazon forgot about eBay,
Got my air there, 400 pounds cheaper than from apple lol

I remember when I shopped for my laptop, and I chose Dell's XPS-M1530 (15" display), man talking about regretting not getting XPS-M1330 (13" display) instead, my laptop currently sits by my TV hooked up via HDMI with BT keyboard and mouse, and when I need to move I am catching myself on the thought 13" laptop would've been just perfect, lighter, and would've cost me less money
But anyway, it is your call, and it is all depends on what you are going to use it for.

In Sony world 1080p (1920x1080) = 1600 x 900!
So you're actually getting a display that's only 70% of full HD

Well... I may have just halved my price range in hope of getting a Tegra 2 Phone next year Gunna be around £450 so I took it from my laptop budget lol

Watcha think about this? I know it's not as high spec as I was loooking at before but IMO it looks great (I'd be interested in a sammy but i dont like the red )
Altough what is the graphics card/screen like because thats what is important to me ?
Thanks

It's got Intel HD graphics, so you can't play games on it Other than that it should be good for most things.

First time buying a macboook: Doubts

I'm gonna get a macbook pro, keep in mind i will be selling my desktop pc and the mac will be my main device,i'll take it to the institute, etc i'm going start a graphic design course soon and naturally i will be usiong, corel, photoshop, and i suppose a little of video editing .
I plan on getting the 15" model, the 13" is a little small for my taste and the 17" model is off the budget and also i think it enters desktop territory ( is too big for a laptop) .
I've got a couple of doubts:
1.AMD Radeon HD 6490M with 256MB GDDR5 vs AMD Radeon HD 6750M with 1GB GDDR5 ? i know 1 gb sounds a lot better, but ive been told it only matters if im going to play videogames at large resolutions aka 1920x 1200
2.750GB 5400-rpm hdd vs 500GB 7200 rpm hdd , i already have an external 2 tb hard drive so i might be able to sacrifice the extra 250 gb for the increased speed, but does the 7200 hdd makes the mac run considerably hotter?
3.Choosing the 1680x1050 display over the standard 1440x900 is a no brainer, i wish there was a 1920x 1200 display instead but how is the Antiglare Widescreen Display worth the extra 150 $ ? how do they achieve the antiglare? won't the colors look dull or over satured?

I wish i could give you some good answers, but that's not the case, but i would go for the one with 1GB GDDR5, 500GB 7200 RPM HDD and of course the 1680x1050 display.
Regarding the GPU, won't it be better with the 1GB if you're going to edit videos?

1) 256 mb should be fine if you're not gaming
2) 7200 rpm will be faster and seeing as you have the external you may aswell, but it could be louder and it will not get too hot AFAIK
3) better display obv antiglare doesn't make image bad and it. Looks nice but imo its not wow like the glossy, professionals seem to prefer matte, maybe go down to the nearest apple store?

Mainly CPU is used.. but some software can be aided by gpu.. however I'm not sure. If you'll notice much difference also op.. just checking are you going for quad i7, if not.. I'd reccomed more than the gpu

Yup, im going for the quad core i7 @ 2.2 GHz , the offer a quad core i7 @ 2.3 GHz for 250 $ extra dollars :/ just for 0.1 ghz? that's a steal, they dont even specifiy what cpus they're selling
I had forgotten sometimes the cpu switches to the gpu to render websites and play hd videos , i'll keep that in mind

GPU Suggestions, GTX560TI Top or wait for Kepler?

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone has any knowledge / opinions regarding graphics cards. I'm tossing up weather to buy an Asus GTX 560Ti TOP as they seem to be fantastic for the price point ATM..... or wait for the new nVidia chipset release? Any ideas !?

How is the rest of your system looking? It might be a bit of an overkill, i would go with the GTX560 of 580, It should be ok for the next 2 years. Are you a hardcore gamer?

Hey mate, I'm not really a hard-core gamer but i figure for the price point i might as well go for it, plus a little bit of headroom would be nice.
Intel i7-2600k
8GB G-Skill DDR3 18600
60GB Sata 6Gbps SSD (For OS)
Various Drives for storage.
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO

The 560 will give you some headroom too. And later down tbe road when prices drop on the Kepler drop you can upgrade to that one. Are you an overclocker? Squeeze a bit more out of the 2600k and 560 and you wont notice any real-life performance difference from the Kepler.

If Kepler flops like what I'm hearing I'll be pee'd off as I'm hoping for a price war at the high end so I can upgrade my GTX580.

Then you can sell your GTX580 to the OP since he isnt a hardcore gamer and everybody is happy. Solution found! Damn, I'm good. Lol.
I dont know if I would purchase such a high end video card the second it came out. I would wait like 5 months or until a second revision of the product so they can work out bugs with drivers or even with the manufacturing process.

Not to change the direction or anything but have you taken a look over at AMD? i use both products and the 7000 series is pretty good not to mention its latest and greatest 7990 6GB GDDR5 lol way too much ($800). but anyways....
I use the AMD XFX HD 6770 and need to upgrade but if Nvidia is what your looking at you might want to get the GTX 570?

yeah but the 680 like the 580, 590 has problems with overclocking.
I rather have a stable card then a blazing fast card that will only last me a month

nVidia seems to be better
But a little expensive I think
Click to expand...

Well it depends on what works best if you have intel Nvidia works best plus the processor speed too etc.....

680 GTX i tested a beta board for 2 weeks.
No issue's.. just damn power hungry.
I would suggest... once they revise and prices have dropped.
Else.. radeon makes some OP cards as well.
Memory
But basically aim for a 2GB Gddr5 card.. ^_^
Bus Width
Always check the bus width.. the wider the better. ^-^ 128 bit cards mostly suck. 256bit and upward are Can be OP cards..
Core clock speeds..
idk.. depend on manufacturer revision.. Higher clocks are almost always better.
Some cards like nvidia have shader and cuda engines... the may have separate clocks..
If you find a card you like... google it and see how it stacks up.. there are many sites will to provide info. ^_^
Good luck guy.

I disagree with the post above nvdia usually generate a lot less heat compare to amd and the definitely generate a lot less power.
In my opinion the best graphic card suited for the operator is hd6950 because of the price point and you can flash the bios to hd 6970 make it one of the best bang for buck .

32 gigs of RAM, unless your board supports 64GB.
2 X NVIDIA Dual GeForce GTX 580 in SLI
Core i7 Extreme CPU
That leaves you with about 1000 for everything else, which is more than enough for a pretty large SSD

Hmm I spent 450 usd on my build and its decent enough
