^ thanks for the advanced warning. I've only heard bad things about OCZ. I was almost leaning towards an OCZ SSD.

I've only had to warranty with WD and EVGA. Both have been great. Just fill out a basic form, and ship it out. Usually see a replacement within a week or so.

i almost got that... but i settled for this:

K481 · Keyboards · Equipment · ARCTIC



it was 10 bux cheaper and super small and portable. i can just throw it beside the couch when i wanna watch a movie or something i don't have to go back to my station to use the mouse or keyboard.

my only complaint is.. it is a bit hard to type on cuz it's so small. but it's okay if it's a secondary keyboard... or if you're a little kid. lol!

I bought a cpu and a copy of windows 7 oem about 2.5 years ago and reformatted two or three times already.

question: Is there a limit on how many times I can reinstall windows 7 on my system? Because I remember on my old computer, with Windows XP, I think I got to a point where it wouldn't let me activate winXP anymore with the windows geniune thing.

When my Logitech mouse had a battery problem where it would drain way too fast, they sent me a brand new mouse all they asked for is the serial number, and they let me keep the old one which works just fine wired up.
They did the same thing for 2 other peripherals of theirs I had, that's how it's done..... maybe Logitech spoiled me with their methods..... but are warranty returns all supposed to be this complicated ?

won't be buying OCZ again, didn't do enough research into their power supplies they only offer 2 years warranty, other better quality ones offer 5, that would have tipped me off to their quality if I had known about it
My OCZ psu has been running strong for 3~ years now. That being said, I didn't get my $20-25 MIR (I called the MIR company they use, and they said it was sent out to me and already used, when I never even received it). I think PSU's are a hit and miss though, my friend's Antec 80+ gold certified PSU died in less than a month.

What do you guys think of NCIX's LP1 PC for $1300?

Think it can handle battlefield 4 in max settings?

Intel Core i5 3570K
MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti Graphics
8GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 RAM

Battlefield 4? Who knows? I doubt a 660 Ti would be enough for max, at least not smoothly

Just give microsoft a call and they will reactivate the key. Don't even need to talk to anyone. its just a machine asking you to put in the cd key.

any ideas what to do with two evga GTX 260's?

one of them is a core 216 if that matters at all.

they're laying around... i could sell them on CL for 50 bux each... but the money isn't really important to me. I'd rather find some use for them... but I can't think of any use. or potential future use? lol...

assuming 1080p you can do a solid 50fps in BF3
BF4 shouldn't be very different

Maybe you should pick out the parts yourself. $1300 seems over priced for a rig like LP1.

there's not much info on FB3 right now but it really just looks like a tweaked FB2

It is being listed as DX11 only...I'm guessing it'll push hardware like Crysis 3

Yup we don't know enough, so it's impossible to say. I wouldn't count on it running the same speed as BF3 though. So if a 660 Ti struggles to maintain 60 fps in BF3, it will be even slower in BF4 most likely. You'd have to disable some features
