I won't. Have had this PC for 4 years and it maybe has 125 hours of gameplay on it lol

I'm using one of these as a second monitor, was my primary for a long time.

Just curious, what is your opinion on that display?

I figure a good 1440p monitor is what I would want to get when I get a GTX1070 . Right now im gaming on an ASUS 1080p monitor but am not quite read to jump to a 4k monitor right now. I am waiting for the price to come down slightly.

Not nearly as worth it now as they were 2-4 years ago when those qnix and other bulk Korean panels were downright amazing for price/performance.

It's very nice, has a lot of bleeding along the bottom bezel but doesn't bother me.

Pfft. Everyone knows a mini spoiler and Type-R stickers make your PC go faster.

It's not stupid if it works, and it does work, how much depends on how well your case is cooled, but it does work. Ducting all that hot air directly out of your case will lower ambient case temps, it's how OEMs got around putting more than just the PSU fan in a PC (especially the Pentium II/III era where that daughter board meant you could strap giant heatsink fins to it).

Im stashing some money away to upgrade my PC. I need a new motherboard, bigger case and better cooling. Im also guessing ill need a bigger harddrive and maybe a upgrade in the graphics department as well.

I don't need them, I could go in my basement and take a pic of the hard plastic version of the same idea from my circa 1998 Gateway if you like.

Congratulations, you found something from 13 years ago that would be silly in a current PC. What do you want, a pat on the back?

BTW, here is the actual review from which you leeched the image. Not only is it not garbage, the reviewer thinks it's worth the $45. http://www.dansdata.com/badong.htm

+ a new CPU.

Isn't your computer fairly new? Why upgrade the mobo/CPU so soon? Seems like you could just upgrade to a 480 or a 1070/80 depeding on the budget and be good again for a while.

My CPU is a good i7 one. Best thing in my PC.

Motherboard I went cheap on and been having problems woth my PC for a while. Im figuring getting a bigger case with more cooling, new MB and bigger harddrive would help it out.

Why u getting defensive? Pat on the back really!! I read the reviews, know when it was designed, and understand the function.....still doesn't change that fact its silly looking. I'm sorry should of posted it and talked about how great of a design decision this was, would that have reversed your defensive posture? I think its silly you getting bent out of shape over me laughing about a piece of A/C ducting used in a PC, are you the designer....maybe that's why you are getting defensive.

Blows my mind what a simple post can drum up in some people. I'm so sorry burns I found it was funny....my bad man!

Re: Official "I want to build a New PC!" Thread

I'm not getting defensive, you were the one who had to try and do some stupid quip back when all I said was "if it's stupid and works, then it's not stupid". You can try and spin this back on me, but you obviously had no idea about this thing and tried to make a ******* joke, then got all defensive when I said it wasn't stupid.

LOL the install one then is what got you riled up.....ok you right **** joke

Oh and the same link you posted is where I read about it and got the picture so obviously I "knew" about it......but I still stand by my original assessment....its stupid.
