According to the article, Intel is going to start releasing new chips for desktop every 2 years.

Broadwell rumored not to be on desktop.

Saw that earlier, probably not a bad idea since each year has minimal gains

Have y'all seen the new Phanteks Enthoo Primo case? If I were to ever go full tower again, that would be my first choice in a heartbeat

Is that cover over the HDD cages removeable? If it isn't, then that's lame as hell.

Yeah that rumor has circled around even before Haswell's launch. Guess this is confirmation the rumors are true. Oh well, this whole board will be on Haswell-E/DDR4/X99 next year anyway. EDT

I don't mind it at all. It gives the case a clean look since all the open cages and wires are covered. I also like how they put the logo there instead of on the front so the exterior looks awesome

With my upcoming case upgrade, and Coyote generously donating his 360 rads to me since he's getting new ones, I might be set for a while, possibly until 2015 unless it turns out this new baby shits money.

Looks like it accommodates a little more than the HAF 932 I have. I can mount a 360 up top but the bottom 240mm required mods with a dremel. But damn, this build is fricking tetris-cramped. Exactly what I want to avoid.

so I am thinking about upgrading my MB.. and it looks like there is a decent deal going on on Amazon right now? (got an email this morning)

Are any of those actually a good deal?

Also, thinking about building a home computer system to hook up to my TV and an HD Antenna and using as a media center and DVR.. could I get one of you guys to build that for me?

(thinking as cheap as possible for the TV computer)

I put together a gaming PC for my wife's friend today. He wanted it for League of Legends and streaming mostly, plus possible video editing/encoding, and he's planning on getting into more games.

Specs:
i7-4770k
Hyper 212 EVO
Gigabyte Z87X-D3H
MSI 7970 Twin Frozr BE
8GB Corsair Vengeance 1600
120GB Samsung Evo
1TB Caviar Blue
SS 750 bronze
Antec 900


He chose the case. And my god is it a fricking annoying case to work with. But it's all in there now.

He left the system with me to do some optimizations tonight. This 4770k is actually a Costa Rica batch. I wonder how well it will OC on this evo.

Yea that's a fricking steal.

ETA: It looks like maybe a shitty cooler but at that price who cares really?
