I do too. It's basically the best water cooling and silence case out there. I just need to rebuy a lot of parts to get a good color scheme.

That does look nice. Googled a pic and thought it was a full-tower at first.

150 isn't much and you can always upgrade when something betters comes up.

I think all of Samsungs options are terrible with the shtt they put on there. Plus, the S4 feels cheap.

frick YOU, COYOTE!

I have the S4 Active because I drop phones all the time or get them wet due to being a contractor so it really seemed like the best option for me even though I liked the Note better overall.

Lol well that might not feel cheap but the plastic back which falls off of S4s is cheap.

The active, I have never used before. Is it pretty durable as they claim?

I have only had it since November but so far so good. It's going to have an "accident" soon so I can use my protection plan to get an S5.

I love Samsung products, just the S4 feels terrible and feels cheap with that plastic back.

Like i said, can't speak for the active, we never had one in the house.

Blue, how is that 760K holding up? I ordered one for a temp build. Wondering how bad it will bottleneck a 290x.

Update on the RAM situation that probably nobody read:

New RAM didn't work. New CPU didn't work. Now we have a new motherboard coming (same brand/model). That better fricking work.

Thing is, the RAM is recognized and functions properly in the first two slots. As soon as I put it in any dual channel configuration, only 3.90GB are usable. It knows the RAM is there, just can't use it.

I've built probably somewhere just under 200 PCs, and I have never seen this happen.

Quick question: when I power on my pc it says the cpu is running at 98 degrees and as I sat there it slowly dropped down to 89 in a minute or two. It was still dropping when I powered down. All the fans are running and it felt pretty cool inside the tower. Will that temp continue to drop and it just showed high b/c that was the first time powering on?

Also, I'm fairly certain I used a bit too much thermal paste...could that be the problem?
