    the HP dv6-6017tx, 6121tx, 6140tx and dv6-6165tx thread

    The installation is a bit tricky but I've got 12.11 Leshcat UnifL Enduro drivers working properly. You might be able to get 13.1 working as well. But I got a couple of Blue Screens during this install, so I played it safe. If you're feeling adventurous, try the Leshcat UnifL 13.2 Beta 5...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    Yeah, same guy. i2cworld or something. He resells from a lot of US sellers. His -ve feedback is all on HDMI cables. The expensive stuff he deals well is the impression I got. Just wanted to know if your friend had any -ve experience. I know. Maybe I will.

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    Reminds me.. Is there any place in Lami where I can actually see monitors and how they perform? Kinda like how you get to in electronics superstores? Also, any clue on where I can snap up those Biostar/ASRock mobos?

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    I can hold off on CFX for another 2 years with an OC 6850, I hope? and a cost of around 2600 per year for a mobo (5300 approx spread out over 2 years) is decent, considering a 13000 mobo would also last me around 5 years MAX? In any case I'd upgrade in less than 5 years so what gives me more...

    assembling a pc

    Even components from the same era, and based on the same socket, may not work together, because of the part that electricity plays in the machine. At the very least, you would experience a loss in performance by "randomly collecting" components "at your will". At worst, you would be left with...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    Thanks but what about those dimensions... I did hear that the 430 can accommodate a 12" card but the gamma can just fit a 10" one, although the gamma is at least marginally bigger.... In the time that I've been silent, I was researching if I could shave the budget by getting an H67 instead...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    Coming back to cabinets - the dimensions of 1) -Gamma = 190 X 449 X 508 mm 2) Elite 430 = 190 x 424 x 490 mm So the ELite is 25mm less tall, 18mm less deep, but it can accommodate a bigger *GPU? Confused. Is it the way the case interiors are designed? For now since I'm going with the...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    @shayem Only way I can make any savings on buying from Lynx is to order a lot of components so it offsets the 360 (surface) or 600 (air) shipping n 2500k is 10840 on lynx, and the z68-d3h motherboard isnt available. let me have a look thru. Thanks for the info. Lynx was down for a few days I...

    PC Buying Guide - July 2011

    When you put up the prices, are they the lowest prices you have found, or an approximate fair price? Cuz if they are the lowest prices, it would be a great help if you put up the names of the online stores where the particular components are available for that price. And also indicate if...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    Yeah those LED monitors are mean. And the g2222HDL is 8.85K at theitwares, while the st2220l is 8.8K at most places, including smc. still tough to decide. But with this above config, any way i can get the total down to at least 48k? Where do i get the 2500K for 10.5k, the vengeance for 2.5k...

    Gaming Rig in 45K

    So far, I've got this. have also updated where I know the source of the prices, thanks to all of you. But some others, I need to know if I can shave off a few hundreds per component and get the best price. At the same time, i want to be sure nothing in this rig will be a bottleneck. Like this...
