Dude, that's not even a nip slip of a teaser. And can we stop with the Lasse Hoile and Travis Smith monopoly of every fucking album these days?

Totally valid reason. I was just wondering where you were coming from.

Alright Dusty, I am curious as to what tasks you value most. I have not been following CPUs as closely now as I have been in the past, but everything I am seeing can be summed up as follows: The 5gHz FX-9590 is pretty much a factory overclocked and overvolted Piledriver chip with no headroom. It is less efficient per cycle and has a 220w TDP. None of this matters, as sheer single threaded speed is what you are after, so I found this: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/62166-amd-fx-9590-review-piledriver-5ghz-6.html If you are after single threaded performance, de-lid a 4770K, put it under water, and OC the hell out of it. I understand the price/performance aspect of AMD products, but if one can OC, there really is not much of an advantage at all (if any). Honestly, I cannot think of any reason to get an AMD chip. Tell me your take.

Yeah, but AMDs problem is that they still cannot compete with Intel in most tasks that I am interested in. Sadly, the Athlon 64 glory days are over for AMD. They just cannot compete for the mid to high end builds. Because of this, Intel has been sitting on its ass for years in the desktop area.

Very fast build indeed. Glad things worked out regarding newegg. I have found that a little verbal elbow grease really gets them to do the right thing in the end. You're making me want to upgrade, but there is nothing out there that really makes my build look outdated (and it's from 2010). Perhaps X99 and this

That's shitty of them to just put all the components in one box with it all jostling around. I live very close to their will call, so that's a bonus, but they have slipped in a lot of areas since their glory days about 10 years ago. Sorry for the hassle, Crappy.

Yep, two Brick Walls here. That (or Zero Surge) is good stuff.

Good choices. I think you'll like the speed increase.

That's a lot of shit, Dusty I say build it yourself. For a moderately priced Photoshop build, pretty much spend the money on an Intel quad core, SSD, and 16 GB of ram. And no shitty PSUs either. Seasonic or Corsair make great mid-priced PSUs. As for sources, Microcenter for CPUs (if you are near one), Frys/Microcenter for HDDs, and Newegg/Amazon for everything else. Too many horror stories of DOA HDDs via mail, so try to buy those in store.

It's the Dusty way...

I can see it now: Introducing the Fucking Vapour DAC! Fuck plankton retrieval, we're on to smaller shit... like... vapour. Back us now and get yourself vaped!

Well, yeah, there's that, too One person's warning is another person's buzzkill. You see, the other site is like Portobello Road from Bedknobs and Broomsticks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYBECKl0zFo Why u fuq wit dat?

Currawong via innerfidelity comments section: "As for negative reviews: There are forums focussed on trashing what the members see as bad products, but that just turns them into sites for negative and hate. That isn't fun." This thread is proof that it is fucking fun. At least the thread starter has not come back for more punishment. Yet.

News about a new Pink Floyd album in October based on the Division Bell sessions leaked. http://www.straight.com/blogra/680271/david-gilmours-wife-polly-samson-leaks-news-twitter-about-new-pink-floyd-album If it is even close to Division Bell, I will be thrilled.

Happy Birthday Guys!

Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Justin!

*Sigh* I am seeing where you are coming from, and yes, those existing panels from Seiki are pretty bad, but you have to start somewhere. That's all I am saying.

I really do think these panels will tip the scales and get other companies on board. Who knows what they have planned (perhaps the same specs with a higher price - and perhaps better panel), but Seiki has them beat in the marketing portion. Every computer forum I frequent, many people have bought the 39 or 50 inch 4k Seiki TVs. The discriminating ones gripe about the refresh and panel quality, but a sale is a sale, and that's what we are talking about here, right?

From a movies perspective, Dan, I agree, but from a productivity or gaming perspective, I think there is a larger market for 40 inch 4k monitors than you give credit. People who have been splashing out on Titans and high end CPUs have been screaming for something like this for years. If Seiki can make this series comparable to a Dell Ultrasharp (middle of the road quality) and make the 40" under $1,500-$2,000, they will have a huge hit. Whatever the outcome, I am thrilled to see DP 1.3 being mentioned. It truly is the future of high resolution displays. HDMI can eat it.

Yes, there are those, but they suck. They were TN pieces of crap aimed at the people who only see the 4k aspect and nothing else. They were also limited by their input chipsets via HDMI and DP, and that's why they had 30hz refreshes. The computer monitor market has been beyond stagnant for years. Displays have been left in the dust compared to other computer parts as far as development. It's pathetic. My refurb 3007wfp-hc is still very relevant all these years later. So this announcement will not be a silver bullet, but it is very much a step in the right direction. I hope Seiki does this right and drags everyone along with them, like Apple has done with mobile screens.

http://www.pcper.com/news/Displays/Seiki-Announces-28-32-and-40-4K-Ultra-HD-Monitors-HDMI-20-and-DisplayPort-13 Quick Rundown: Seiki will introduce three different sizes including a 28-in (28U4SEP-G02), 32-in (32U4SEP-G02) and 40-in (40U4SEP-G02) offering with the following specs: Vertical Alignment (VA) LED panel technology with 3,840 by 2,160 4K Ultra HD resolution 12-bit color processing and 14-bit gamma mode HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.3(!), MHL 3.0, DVI and VGA standards display connections Picture-by-picture (x4) and daisy chain mode USB 3.0 hub (1 upstream and 2 downstream) VESA-compliant adjustable monitor stand with quick release Probably not going to be NEC quality, but for the prices they will probably ask, they'll be bang for the buck. 40" 4K? S'il vous plaît!

Good luck. Let us know how it goes
