Its not terrible but couldn't imagine the terrible acoustics sitting right in front of you. Dealing with HTPC/SFF builds which only support 92mm CPU fans without other mods, this thing will be loud.

God damn this case is beautiful. Would be a perfect centerpiece HTPC. I wouldn't want that red color though, and frick that possible price ($299 and $395)


I like the concept, but as coyote said, I really can't stand listening to small fans working hard to move as much air as a typical 120mm case fan. I also think it's a big design flaw not being able to store wider gaming keyboards under it. The price doesn't make it practical for mainstream. I do want more affordable horizontal case options. Don't know why they went out of style (if they ever were in style).

I love how I sold my Fury X 2 days before ethereum tanks.

It's still at $163, which is pretty incredible

Was $330 just 2 weeks ago, and $380 a month ago.

Pretty crazy run.

Yep, but it's still very profitable. Just waiting on that litecoin-esque crash

How is a $2700 laptop back ordered? Trying to get this to use while I move to Cali for 3 months and it's out of stock everywhere.

Damn, that thing is nice all around. If I start traveling more often in my new job I could maybe justify it. So far, only one trip in 3 months, another one coming in September.

Rich college kids snatching them up before the fall.

Yea I hear you. I am looking to live right on Hermosa beach. Like look out my window and see titties and thongs right on. The 1 bed 1 bath apartment I am probably going to book is furnished and bills paid but it's $4700 per month.

I was considering splurging on this place. Still may.

Hola.

I've never been a PC gamer but lately I've had the hankering to build a gaming PC. I think it would be a fun project and something I would use often.

Obviously like most people, I'd like to no break the bank but also be able to build something that would like great hooked to my 4K TV. (I know I sound like a clueless a-hole).

Anywho, I'm sure this project will be a disaster since I've never done this before and have no blueprint or idea where to start.

Cheers!

Give a budget and what you want to play with it. Are you sitting across the room from your TV, if so it will take some wireless options.

I'm not sure what is a reasonably affordable budget. My TV is about 25 feet from the couch but I can sit as close as I need to. I have a chair that moves.

So Amazon gave me an order update for my monitor preorder, shipping at the earliest August 5th and as late as September.

Cancelled, went to Samsung to order directly, and after completing the preorder it says backordered.
