I have a GTX 780 lying around and I figure I would like to build a small HTPC for my living room. I would use it mainly for gaming and watching videos on the TV. So I need everything except the video card. I really like the look of the Silverstone GD09B HTPC case so I will probably go that...

Now that I have a 1440p GSync monitor, I need something better to drive it. :lol: I was looking at the 1070's but I fear they may be due for a refresh. Anyone have any ideas on what Nvidia has up their sleeve? Should I pull the trigger now or wait? I will probably go eVGA, so I could use...

With the NES Mini craze going on, I ended up going the RetroPie route, then I realized we didn't even have a thread about it! It supports practically every console up through Playstation 1. For those who don't know what RetroPie is: https://retropie.org.uk/ I bought the CanaKit Raspberry...

I'm in the market for a new monitor to replace my aging Dell 2407FWP. I'd like a 27" 1440p, but the other stats are what are giving me issues. I was looking at the G-Sync monitors a bit, but the difference in price between the IPS and TN (the Dell S2716DG in particular) is quite large (about...

ji2aU4EdQww Anyone plan on picking this up? I bought the pre-order and pre-loaded it last night on the Xbone. I'm a big fan of the Gears series. Can't wait until next Friday, which I happen to have off from work too. :D

This happened to me yesterday on the way home and it seems pretty serious but I was hoping I could get some advice/experience from you guys. I was driving home and the TCS light came on along with my Check Engine light, which started flashing. I pulled over, turned thge car off and back on and...

This subforum seems pretty dead, so I will post some stories/blogs/posts I find online occasionally here. I came across this post on r/programming. It's a nice hack to get a very fast approximation for the inverse square root function (e.g. 1/sqrt(x)). http://h14s.p5r.org/2012/09/0x5f3759df.html

I'm going to be upgrading my PC soon, since the CPU/Memory/Motherboard are getting a bit long in the tooth. I was looking at either Haswell or Haswell-E. The nice thing about Haswell-E is I can get a 6-core CPU pretty cheap, but the memory is going to be expensive. What do you guys recommend?

Did anyone else pick this up on console? I just got RoS for the One and it's a lot of fun. I really like the controls, and the loot system (with the junk markers).

Recently my computer has been shutting off when I'm gaming. It tends to happen when the computer is being taxed (ie when there's a lot going on on the screen and the framerate drops). I checked temps and I'm at <80C GPU and <60C CPU, so I'm guessing it's my refurbished, old PSU. The PSU does...

Oops... :bleh: Intel Disables TSX Instructions: Erratum Found in Haswell, Haswell-E/EP, Broadwell-Y

I can't believe no one's mentioned this yet. HL3 confirmed? :bleh:

I am going to be out of the country for 5-6 weeks from mid September to late October and need a phone that will work overseas. I checked out T-Mobile, and they have unlimited (2G) data and texting in the countries I will be in. I checked out the Nexus 5 (I will want to tether) but noticed...
