well originally i was just going to put my old 4850 in my old rig and sell it as a cheap gaming computer alternative, basically recoup the cost of my new components. but i realized the 4800 series is DX9 and more importantly it appears to be artifacting a bit. so now that card is really useless except for basic computing.
so ive decided to stick the 6850 in the old rig and sell it for a tad bit more. ill have to CL it or something though because that kid never came back - he probably blew through his tax money

Yea and I went to bid on more but someone bid up a few of them. I may get 5 or 6 more for pretty cheap but I wanted all 12 they had.

Have you guys seen the new SteamBox?
Posted on 6/10/13 at 9:07 pm to LSU Coyote
pretty sure thats a TARDIS
Posted on 6/10/13 at 9:14 pm to jcole4lsu
Nope.. pretty certain this is the TARDIS.

THAT is a blatant rip off and copyright infringement. you will be hearing from my lawyer, sir.

Newegg has a pretty decent sale today. A 660 for for $168, a 670 FTW for $359, and a white Corsair Vengence for $79 are about the only noteworthy highlights IMO.
I wonder if there will be a post E3 sales dump due to the new AMDs being announced.

yo, what TIM do you guys recommend?
Posted on 6/11/13 at 8:27 am to brucevilanch
for what application?
Posted on 6/11/13 at 8:35 am to puffulufogous
just going to buy some more to keep on hand for cpu cooling. maybe replacing it on GPU heatsink?

my appletard friend texted me about that thing last night saying it was a serious workstation for serious users. lol
a number of points:
they don't tell you which e5 cpu or gpus will be available, they just say up to 7 teraflops of gpu with 6gb of vram each
4dimms of 1866 ram. lol
air cooled. lol
supports 3 4k displays but only has one hdmi. who needs 6 thunderbolt ports? they don't even make 4k monitors that have thunderbolt connections. imagine how much those will cost when they come about.
the huge apple premium.
I like apple products (laptops, mobile) because they are simple, but if I needed a badass workstation I would build my own. Apple charges a shitload for average tech in their workstations. It is known.

I just used what came with my heat sink but OCN has an entire Tim review section on their forums.
