hahaha that's true, though i think it would be kind of hard to load it up with data these days, 2TB has actually lasted me over 2 years and still about 40% empty

If I had that, I would just spend my time loading it up with stuff, just because I could.  Probably wouldn't get anything else done!

I agree 2 TB is enough but who doesn't want a petabyte

I have 2, 1TB HDD's in RAID 0 with a 128GB boot drive.  User profiles and programs on the RAID.  Gopint to back it up with a 2 TB NAS.  (Might go to 4 TB RIAD and NAS, haven't decided yet).

For what you want to use it for 2 TB minimum for piece of mind, and get a backup.

I would love to get a 144mhz monitor but i think it only comes in TN (correct me if im wrong) and i really like the viewing angles for IPS
 
Well from 60 to 70 can i tell the extra 10fps? NOPE haha

Over clocking your screen means pushing the refresh rate (hertz) past it's stock value. If your screen has a stock rate of 60 hertz, pushing it to 75 would be overclocking it. It can usually only be done in the control panel of your video card, if your GPU has the option. My one I can't get past its stock of 60, my other I can push to 75, but I leave it at 60, I'll get higher hertz screens later on.

Me too, right inside the rig looking out the window.

I so need a Tt Dude.  My rig is lonely without one.

While I do like them orgranised I have given up on zip ties behind the motherboard as I take it apart so much it gets annoying lol the front must look pretty though  

Oh no, those things have to be organized.  All behind the motherboard, just, don't look behind my motherboard.

Issue has already been escalated to our Product Management team guys! Definitely going to have an improvement on those corners! 

hahaha u got me! 
Actually its not that messy behind my motherboard though, just a minor birds nest in construction... but seriously, don't look behind my motherboard 

Did you guys actually go out into the warehouse and take those pictures just for me? If you did, that was a really cool thing to do.  Thanks!  Just placed my order for one, really couldn't beat the price.

EVGA Supernova 1300.  JohnnyGURU tested it and his tests state the thing could just about pass for Platinum.  Just about the only part in my  PC that isn't Tt (the one I wanted from you guys hasn't been released yet, I think you're still tweaking it). Your PSU is your heart, so your efficiency is VERY important.  PSU's are one of those things that you get what you pay for, never skimp out on a PSU, I learned the hard way, had one with coil whine, and eventually fried my old PC.

McBludgin - 80 Plus (trademarked 80 PLUS) is a voluntary certification program intended to promote efficient energy use in computer power supply units (PSUs). Launched in 2004 by Ecos Consulting, it certifies products that have more than 80% energy efficiency at 20%, 50% and 100% of rated load, and a power factor of 0.9 or greater at 100% load. That is, such PSUs will waste 20% or less electric energy as heat at the specified load levels, thus reducing electricity use and bills compared to less efficient PSUs.  (From Wikipedia)

Not really, if you have a PC that is pulling, say 300 watts at full load, your platinum 600w PSU will pull say 320 watts from your wall, where at your bronze 750w will most likely pull 360, doesn't really matter what your max wattage is when it comes to pulling what it needs in terms of power.  Plus, the extra wattage the bronze is pulling equals extra heat being generated in your PC, heat that is being generated by waste and can be avoided.

There is also a quality difference, the bronze will most likely cost less, but at what expense? Cheaper capacitors, lower life expectancy, modular cabling, warranty, etc.  You also have to think how good the ripple suppression  is, voltage regulation, and heat generation.

Yes indeed! that would be Mike that did. he beat me to it as i was going to but if we can help the community out in a way then we will do so. 

Awesome!! Thank you!!

Hey all,
 
Made a purchase on the Tt Buy store last night, suggestion;

The automated email you get after placing your order, has a place for your order information, i.e. what you ordered and your order number, but they aren't filled in, they are left blank.  You basically get an email stating you ordered something, the date you ordered it, and how you paid for it.  All this info can be accessed via logging into the TtBuy store, but, having it included in an order confirmation email would be good too.

I know the TtBuy store is still relatively young in the United States.

haha i have never heard that term before, i need to start using that.   

thats what i would have thought to use.
