Should I exchange my Define R4?

Alright, I'll contact Newegg and arrange for the exchange. Thanks.

Should I exchange my Define R4?

Now that you mention it, there was a dent in the top of the packaging, but I didn't think much of it at the time. If this actually is shipping damage, Newegg would probably cover the return shipping. But on the off chance that someone can help me fix this without the hassle, I'll stay tuned...

Should I exchange my Define R4?

I bought a Fractal R4 earlier this week from Newegg. When I took it out of the box, I was surprised to see that there was some sort of deformity in the top panel that kept it from sitting flush. The rear fan mount bows out; if you press it, it will bow right back up. If you press inward toward...

Need last-minute advice with bang-for-buck build

They've got three bundle deals available with the 2500K, but the only ones I'd consider are pretty much the same price as my 2600K bundle. TBH, I think the GD80 is a price mistake, but hey, I've got it reserved. You're right about the GPU, Ken. It's probably better to wait for a deal on a video...

48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

I think we're getting off-topic. I'd be happy to continue these sorts of conversations elsewhere, but we should stick to the OP. How's this for pain at the pump, though: the government makes more money per gallon of gasoline than the oil companies do. California takes in 66.1 cents per gallon...

48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

Well, if we're going to learn from states like Texas, it's important to take the bad with the good. If you want to present those as your criticisms, that's fine. I'll give you another example of something we can improve on: illegal immigrants in border states like Texas pull down wages for...

Michele Backmamm wins the Iowa straw polls.

I'm glad Michele won. I'm sure the Ron Paul fans are pleased with their showing today, but I think his remarks on Iran during Thursday's debate will come back to haunt him. He's great on economic policy, but I wouldn't want him looking the other way when Iran wants to wipe Israel off the face of...

48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

We should look at economic policy from the perspective of encouraging investment since that's what will pull us out of the ditch we're in. Businesses are hesitant to invest because they're drowning in a sea of regulation. Obamacare, Dodd-Frank, and Sarbanes-Oxley are enormous burdens. Will...

48% Think Spending Cuts Could Trigger Violence

"The rich" are job creators in this country. How many employees do the poor hire? How many American companies do they put to work by paying for luxuries like yachts and corporate jets? How much of their income do the poor contribute to paying the generous (to put it mildly) salaries of...

What's with my idles?

Popping the side off didn't seem to do anything. Maybe it's just got something to do with the temperature sensor itself? Oddly enough, you know, this rig is hardly what I would call quiet even though I tried to put in quiet fans and all the proper settings dialed in through the BIOS. One of my...

What's with my idles?

Ahh, I thought it was the other way around. My mistake, then. Speedfan has it sitting pretty at 37. That sound about right for pre-cure? I guess I'm just a little surprised it isn't lower considering what I did (plus the fact that I'm still using the Rocketfish cooler).

Comcast changes it name to Xfinity as a marketing ploy

Is my system dying?

I've always had a vague understanding of what IRQ is, but I used Google to get a more exact definition and flipped through my motherboard's manual to figure out how to manually assign it. Once I reserved an IRQ for the sound card, everything worked just fine. I guess you can tell by now that...
