  • Quizzical said: If that's the size and shape of case you want, that's fine, but do be aware that it's over 15" in each of two dimensions.  That's not what I'd usually think of as small form factor.  You can get Micro ATX cases smaller than that…
  • Quizzical said: That laptop already has an SSD.  It's got a quad core Sky Lake CPU, a GTX 960M video card, a 128 GB SSD, a 1 TB hard drive, and 8 GB of memory, all for $850.  The only obvious thing it's missing is an IPS monitor. Quiz…
  • I went ahead and ordered it. I couldn't find anything else comparable for such a reasonable price. I would have preferred a 970m, but every machine with a 970 seems to step up to 17" and an i7 with the price jumping to $1200. An i7 is completely unn…
  • Quizzical said: If you hate 16:9 and prefer 16:10, then why are you looking at a 21:9 monitor? I haven't really used a 21:9 monitor for anything before. I've been uncomfortable with any 16:9 monitor I've used for anything. I can't really…
  • If it helps, this should be a pretty decent, and cheap, ASUS for the listed purposes: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834232794&ignorebbr=1
  • I bought my wife an ASUS Chromebook a couple yrs ago for just general use. She's still using it and having no issues. She does no heavy gaming of any kind, just really Facebook and some streaming of music and movies.
  • Just a thought, but if you're looking for games to try out, you may want to consider the SOE All Access subscription. That will give you full access to several MMO's now (Everquest 1 & 2, DCU, PS2, Vanguard for now) and a few more coming up (Dra…
  • Originally posted by Aori I have a Sapphire 7970, this issue occurred for me when they introduced driver support for R7/R9 GPU's. I can play games fine but on desktop/browser I get inconsistent but noticeable flicker. Not sure if it is the same is…
  • Thanks everyone! That 660 is perfect! Price is right and it should at least last a while before I have to think about upgrading for him.  
  • I give them credit for trying it, but really, ignoring the technical downsides that the average consumer wouldn't pick up on, the true downside is the price. I cannot imagine why someone would pay for this solution when you can just buy 2 separate, …
  • Resurrecting this thread with some changes. Did some additional recent renovations and I now have more room to work with on this build so I've decided to forego the SFF and go with a mid tower build instead. Keeping in mind that this is primarily fo…
  • Originally posted by squalleonaha you might want to consider a all in 1 PC. those are awsome in place like kitchen. I completely agree with you and I have often suggested all-in-ones for kitchens, and in general to my parents and in-laws. However,…

  • I think I can probably go micro ATX, but definitely no larger.
  • Originally posted by Quizzical It's probably just poor documentation. Part of the problem is that video card vendors don't know what else you have in your system.  Neither do they know whether you have a high quality power supply that really can d…
