i want to get a raspberry pi but there are a few problems where most of them reside to the case.

the case, case, case.
CASE

i want a custom made case tuned to a portable raspberry pi.

and there's a problem with this: where do i get the materials?

i could pay to have it 3d printed but how do i know if i get it at the correct dimensions?
for all i know it could be incorrect i could be out for forget knows how much money.

and the other problem is and not major at all: how do i know via software if an external battery pack is low on battery?

any answers?

You don't need crossfire to get smooth video. If I were you, I'd sell my cards and spend an extra $40 on a nicer newer single card like a 7960 or 7970, or if you're going NVIDIA, go 670 or 680

He's using an integrated chip on his APU along with his old 6670, which does create massive loss of fps at times.

would i have to solder resistors onto a molex 4pin cable to make a fan run slower?

So should I connect my monitor with the APU, or the HD 6670?

Currently I am using the GPU not the APU for connection, don't know where you got I was running the integrated graphics.I currently am running the GPU (HD 6670) instead of the integrated.Mainly because I heard that Integrated Graphics depend on how much ram you have.

I only have 4GBs of ram... currently.

If you where wondering, yes I am new to the GPU boosted by APU thing, barely learning more about it.
Don't have any money at all right now as I used all my money to buy all the stuff.

So if you could tell me the DO and DON'Ts it would help.

Should I use my GPU or the APU Alone in the current condition of only 4GBs of Ram.

You mean Geek Squad? Lol no. If they build it and it fails they charge you for it.

Hey, so I need a gaming laptop. I need something with good battery life and reasonable weight.
I'd prefer nothing too far upwards of ~2000.

I'll keep it in mind. Apparently it feels kinda cheap.
Any other ideas, guys?
