I tried ACT and found that I in fact DO need a no FUP plan since their current plans do not offer the amount of FUP I need each month without paying a lot. I personally feel that local broadband providers offer the best bang for the buck. I am currently using a 100 Mbps connection and I pay INR...

- Date of purchase: December 2011 - Source of purchase (local or overseas): local - Warranty remaining: none - Condition: working; no defects CPU: Core i7 2600 Motherboard: Asus P8Z68V-Pro RAM: 32 GB (4 x 8GB) G.Skill Ripjaws (Red) 1600MHz Cooler: Corsair H80 (This was purchased in 2012...

Worth exploring though. You're covered with A to Z guarantee.

Seems fishy. 5TB for 5999 is bonkers.

This tempered glass thing is such a pointless discussion. Someone wants to put it, they'll put it. You don't want to put it, don't. But shoving your thoughts down another person's throat is just plain stupid. I always put a tempered glass on my wife's iPhone. She's careless with her phone and...

Will wait for lower prices.

I did a shitload of research and waiting for Zen makes more sense to me. In fact waiting for Intel's response to Zen (unannounced but I'm assuming it needs to be impressive) makes a lot of sense too. I guess a GPU upgrade will be better. And seeing the benchmarks of the GTX 1070 and RX 480, I'm...

Anyone tried DeepCool's Liquid coolers? I found their "DeepCool Gamer Storm Captain 360" quite interesting.

Corsair over G.Skill? I'm getting G.Skill 2400 MHz for 11k and a 64GB kit for 19k.Also, worth waiting for the AMD Zen architecture? What is the Seasonic warranty situation? (Not that I've ever needed RMA on SMPS but just for info)

If the ASRock fits your needs, why spend 2.5k more? Invest in a liquid cooler instead if you're keeping this rig on for 24 hours. They hardly cost much anymore anyway. The ASRock motherboard also has solid state capacitors like the Gigabyte. Quality will be similar but Gigabyte B150 would...

That's not sub-25k..

What is your budget? 90K What is your existing hardware configuration (component name - component brand and model) CPU - Intel Core i7 2600 Motherboard - Asus P8Z68V-Pro GPU - MSI Nvidia GTX 670 RAM - G.Skill 4 x 8GB Ripjaws X 32GB kit Monitor - Dell U2412 PSU - Corsair TX 650 HDD - 3 x 3TB...

Circle is much better than iBall, but yes, if budget permits, always choose Corsair/ Seasonic/ Antec. I wouldn't even recommend Cooler Master. But that's just me. I have had the worst luck with CM SMPS and GPUs. Using an ASRock motherboard in my office. Unless you're expecting to overclock, it...

CPU - Intel i3 6th Gen. Go lower. You don't need an i3 for a download box. Get an Intel G4400. It's about 40% cheaper. Motherboard - Gigabyte B150M D3H or similar. Go lower. You can easily do with an H110 based board from ASRock. About 40% cheaper. GPU - Not needed (i guess) as i don't intend to...

In my experience a MacBook Air gave me more screen real estate at 1440x900 than a 13" MacBook Pro with Retina (2560x1600) and the same as a 15" MacBook Pro with Retina display (2880x1800). I'm telling you, it's manufacturers screwing with us. Of course you can turn off scaling but then you're...
