Are there any mods out there which add craft-able furniture items such as tables and chairs?

« on: January 31, 2013, 12:50:41 PM »The choice can be somewhat simplified like this:
- Do you like high quality audio? Do you care about accurate audio with lots of details? Do you listen to music in a noisy area? = Buy a decent set of headphones
- Do you like to blast your music at full volume? Do you like to have your walls shaking from the bass? Do you like having your neighbours / the police knocking on your door? = Buy a set of large speakers and a sub.
I seriously doubt that last statement. Either you got a quality speaker set for cheap (Z623, current price in Norway: $200), or you had bad/broken headphones.
I get high quality, accurate audio with wall-shaking bass from my £26 set of logitech speakers+subwoofer, I paid 3x as much for my old set of Sennheisers and got nowhere near the quality of audio I get with said speakers.
Your two choices are complete bollocks

I have a room that nobody comes into.
Even if people do come into my room, I don't do anything on my computer that I need to hide except for certain activities, during which I just turn off my speakers and deal with it anyway.
Unless your PC is in the living-room or you're constantly streaming research I don't see any reason whatsoever to get a headset for a desktop PC instead of speakers

« on: January 30, 2013, 01:23:25 PM »Do you really need those speakers? I'd recomend saving up a little money and buying a headphone instead.
How about these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826262102 ?? They seem to be getting good reviews.
Sennheiser is also a very good brand.
I don't get this whole thing of buying headphones over speakers.
After using a good set of Sennheiser headphones as well as a good set of Plantronics for several years I can honestly say that my £25 set of Logitech speakers with sub-woofer are infinitely superior

Unless you count the fact that I didn't and I installed the standoffs for a regular ATX-sized board and I was having my brother help me with it so he just said "forget that, I'm not taking this back out, deal with it" and screwed it in, it's presently missing four standoff screws and I fear for my life every time I unplug a SATA cable.
I'll re-do it all once I buy my new parts in June though, so right now all I can do is make sure other people are aware of it

Just as a note, I have that motherboard, it's form-factor is listed as ATX but it's actually not as wide as a standard ATX board so you can't go off what your case says, the easiest method of making sure you're putting all the standoffs in the right places is to put the motherboard on a piece of paper and, with a pencil, mark each of the screw holes and then use that to put the standoffs in the right places

« on: January 30, 2013, 09:08:42 AM »Should I be scared that 4/5 of the reviews of that motherboard on Newegg say people got it DOA, and the other one says it's working great?
I would be, look for something with a higher rating, such as this
It has a good average rating of 4/5 and a reasonably large number of reviews which only serves to bolster the validity of that average, not much more expensive, either

Off Topic / Re: The Computer Megathread V2 - Page 58 Contest! Best heatsink of 2013?
« on: January 27, 2013, 10:10:32 PM »I agree the color scheme is meh, but it's one of the best if not best performing CPU coolers outside of custom liquid cooling.
I agree that Noctua fans are some of if not the best fans out there, but if you're going to be putting something all over your case as you would be with fans then they have to look the part as well, especially so if you have a window on the sidepanel.
You don't really want to open up your case and just sigh with vague disgust as soon as you clap eyes on the woefully mismatched colors.
I just don't think that performance is worth sacrificing visual appeal for

Your hands aren't that big unless you're some sort of mutant.
You seem to be incredibly disillusioned.
Face it, that heatsink is woefully impractical and it doesn't even look all that great.
What does this even mean?
The colour scheme of their fans? grey-ish cream and beige?
Or beige and darker beige

« on: January 27, 2013, 09:58:03 PM »If you look closely you can notice the RAM is sticking out on the side. Also the cooler gives space under it. Look at the images I provided for you on the motherboard. Stop trying to find reasons to hate on this.
Good luck getting your fingers over the top of that thing so you can undo the locking arms on the RAM

« on: January 27, 2013, 09:56:52 PM »Cooler Master v10 isn't that great the Noctua NH-D14 is way better. It's also just obnoxious looking.
I don't like Noctuas, their cream/beige colour scheme is repulsive and it doesn't work with any case outside of PC's from the 90's

This thing is gigantic and will keep your whole PC cool.
Boy, I sure do enjoy having to remove my heatsink just to check on my RAM or to change my PSU because I can't get at the 24-pin ATX
