Re: New Antec Case 193 or 280 (or 183 maybe)

Now as I see it these cases are all just 'too old' and superbizz is OOS. I would use one if I could find it. 280 doesn't sound all that great.

Re: Power Supply Hunting, Watts For SLI GTX670

Looking at i. Intel 3570k maybe a small OC depending on noise If you only intend a small OC then you do not need the k version. The k is only useful if you intend to do big overclocks due to it being fully unlocked. The normal 3570 will still overclock. Would there be any material benefit in return...

Re: New Antec Case 193 or 280 (or 183 maybe)

Is the general consensus that the p193 is too large in terms of what I actually need it for? I am looking at this because I remember when I bought my p150 that the p180 was a larger but nicer option. I don't want extra space if I don't need it though maybe I'm missing something. The parts left for m...

Re: New Antec Case 193 or 280 (or 183 maybe)

Hoping that enough people will read this thread to keep me from dualposting, if eatx is so bad what's the smallest recommended quiet case presuming that two video cards is a must? Mini ITX?

Re: Power Supply Hunting, Watts For SLI GTX670

Yes things have changed a lot since the 3870 days of crossfire (no x) and granted I am coming from an upgrade to my alienware with a matte screen's dual gpu that just resounded with me as maybe I shouldn't pay 600 for 4850 master/slave (more if two slaves which I read you can somehow manage). Also w...

Re: Power Supply Hunting, Watts For SLI GTX670

In terms of do I need the second 670, no I probably don't need it but am coming from a Crossfire 3870 and want to be able to game at 1080p or 1200p. I bought two of the 2GB variant at a good price, $280 ea. I could try to return one if there was a good reason to but I am sick of under performance. P...

Power Supply Hunting, Watts For SLI GTX670

I was going to buy an Antec CP-850 only to find that stock is very limited and at sites that are questionable enough that I may not feel too comfortable buying from. I get the hint that 650 watts is questionable for SLI and am just hoping for as quiet of a SLI ready and multi hard drive ready device...

Re: New Antec Case 193 or 280 (or 183 maybe)

So I take it I want to go p193 or p183 and there is a limited cooling setup with the P183 that my SLI (and though I've installed a custom heatsink to a GPU before I would prefer to at least try stock coolers) may be a cause for pause. As I understand it then, the extra fan on the P193 doesn't do the...

New Antec Case 193 or 280 (or 183 maybe)

Hi, So I went for a P150 last time around and the suspensions that held my HDD's up failed though luckily the drives seem to have survived. That and the size of my new computer would indicate I should go for a larger board as I'm going SLI GTX 670. I function in an absolutes manner insofar as I am r...
