If that is black and yellow
Black and gold
I just finished reading the review. As expected Haswell is designed for mobile and barely increase desktop performance. Even though we all have gpu's I do find it interesting to see the work they put into their integrated graphics. AMD still has them beat their but the gap has gotten smaller. Either one though still has you gaming at 720 resolution.

How much did that cost you?
A little over a grand, but compared to laptops with around the same specs it was a steal. I don't know how lenovo did it.

Mine felt the same, much cheaper than other laptops with comparable specs.

I can see someone upgrading from SB to Haswell. IB to Haswell makes no sense (as it stands now)
Saying that, I see you as a "True Enthusiast" and waiting on IB-E.

Marvel Heroes?
I love SuperHero MMORPGs and Diablo type Action RPGs, does anyone want to team up?

maybe. never really played a lot of MMO. how much is it
Posted on 6/2/13 at 12:59 pm to puffulufogous
Supposed to be free to play, but I'm sure the micro-transaction system will make it difficult to really have any fun or progress without putting money into it.

It is a little different, mostly feels like Diablo (Action RPG) playstyle but most certainly is an MMO as a game.

The same old case, a Caselabs Merlin SM8. You can find the build on the first page of this thread. Same 3770K/SLi Titans in a SM8.
We just moved into our new house 1 month ago. My computer room is not really "set up" yet. I can't wait to get started organizing it.
I need to unpack my photo lamps from the attic. I'm extremely proud of this build and feel like pictures leave a lot left to be desired. There isn't good lighting in the room to really see how great the components look!

It looks like what I want. I want a full tower that's with minimalist looks but with a side window. Didn't you saw before that you had a define r4 that you were going to sell?
ETA: That case is $380? frick...

ahhh gotcha. What I want really is a define xl with a side window. Why can this not happen?

Understand.
Fractal Design, Lian Li and Caselabs make the best chassis. I was an advocate for Corsair Obsidan series until I owned a couple Lian Lis and this Caselabs.

I was looking at cases yesterday and saw this ugly as hell dual system case
I guess that could be handy if you streamed on Twitch a lot and used one only as the streaming PC while you gamed on the other. Other than that though that is one ugly GD case.

yeah, I was looking at the new 350d and it just looks a little too small and the 650d is too much for what it is and 850d the just seems like overkill unless you're planning on running multiple loops with 4x/120mm radiators.
