Space is at a premium for me right now and because of that and other reasons I want to downsize myself from ATX in a Define R5 to an mITX in a smaller case.

I can't seem to get my hands on a solid z97 mITX board though. There's an ECS brand one on Newegg, but no thanks.

Ive already posted on r/hardwareswap and a couple of other places. By off chance, would anyone here have one they'd like to sell?

I have paypal and heatware feedback at the ready.

Dishonored 2 rumored to have a lot of PC issues at launch, I went PS4 with it as well since my Pro gets here tomorrow. Why does it feel like PC ports are getting worse and worse?

Edt: That Quantum Dot is nice though.

I'm apparently alpha-testing an Amazon game in a week or so. Friend works for amazon and gave me a code. Not sure what it is yet.

I still doubt we see 100Hz+ 4K monitors in 2017. I have not enjoyed 4K myself, and miss my 144Hz panel so much I kept it as my second monitor and use it for most of my gaming, I only use my 4K for single player games like Rise of the Tomb Raider, DOOM, etc.

My PS4 Pro arrives tomorrow with Dishonored 2, so we'll see how it stacks up to the lackluster 4K gaming on the PC side.

If that Samsung had been out 6 months ago I would have bought it over my LG 4K, and the LG is still the top dog at 4K. I fricking hate 60Hz.

Man.. idt im upgrading the PS4. I need a Bluray player and not going buy an XBONE S when something like the PS4 Pro exists.

They really messed up with a lot of consumers by not including 4K Bluray.

At least the Xbone S brought down the Samsung players cost quite a bit, $247 on Amazon new and $198 used.

When I bought my S for the 4K player the Samsung was still $379.

Should be more options soon though.

I have splurged so much on the TV side, I've bought like 15 UHD blurays now. The good thing about it is that I can turn around and sell them on eBay for the same price.

Yeah at the time it was an awesome buy if in the market for such. So damn disappointed with Sony dropping Bluray with this upgrade.

Yeah, quite unlucky there.

Can't say I'm not excited as shite for my Pro to get here tomorrow though, and for DH2. Really eager to compare 4K and "4K".

Cleared my 512GB SSD I was using for game storage on my PC and putting it in the PS4 Pro as well since the Pro uses SATA3 versus the original using SATA2, actually get the full benefits of SSD speeds on the Pro.

This is another reason why im not going trade my PS4 for the PS4 Pro today. I switched out the old HDD for an SSD in 2014 and the SO can't find the old HDD back home to ship to me in Texas. I'm not stressing it and not buying $50 HDD just to swap it out. Will just wait until they release one with a Bluray player. Really is the only time the PS4 gets used.

Surely hope the menu is quicker and more responsive. Damn thing has laggy, but must say it has improved.

Do you have PS VR?

Edt: This is what I put into the PS4 back then. It really improved load times but did nothing for response time when accessing. Crazy the new PS4 Pro doesn't come with at less a SDHD like XBONE Elite or XBONE S.

I actually have an old one laying around when I upgraded my original to a 1TB SSHD and sold it with it in it, if you want it. Need to make sure I can find it that was shortly after launch.

Still no delivery yet....


ETA: Go time...

Awesome stuff. So not playing Dishonored 2 on PC but on PS4?

Dishonored was one of the only games which held replay value for me over the last 3-5yrs. Loved it.

Hoping for this run to do the same.

Yeah, read bad things about the PC port and I'm frankly done dealing with that shite.

Plus new games with Prime are only $47.99. Just makes too much sense.
