    Samsung dishwashers suck, I know multiple people who have bought $1000 Samsung models only to have them last less than 5 years(my father went through 3 in 8 years, luckily they kept crapping out before his 3 year extended warranty was up). I currently have/had and LG, but it's needed several...

    Yep, that was the issue in this shower/tub combo, tile from the 70s. No cement board or really any waterproofing of any kind under the tile. Add to that the fact that there is a window in the shower(WTF 1970s?) that has been leaking for years, and the entire large side shower wall is full of...

    lol Apparently, our AC was wired directly into our 100 amp circuit breaker box, it wasn't on a circuit breaker at all. Remodeler took one look at that and decided he wasn't touching our electrical until that was fixed, said our breaker box was hot as hell. We really need to upgrade to 200 amp...

    In the middle of having a bathroom remodeled...that probably hadn't been since the 70s (lime green tile in the shower, etc) I should have just sold the house and moved. Mold issues, electrical issues, endless fun. I'm currently sitting with my kid in the family room in the basement because...

    Well, the Pro would probably last 50 years for the average user, whereas the EVO might only last 30 years... Seriously though, there's no point in any home user buying a PRO drive (unless you're doing the M.2 PCI-E version which IS actually faster than the EVO)

    Probably 95% chance it will happen. We've had a Ti each of the last 2 generations, and they've been wildly successful. Don't know why Nvidia would stop now.

    From what I understand, your standard 6th gen Intel processor (i5 6600k, etc) supports 16 PCIE lanes. If you only have 1 device (1 video card) it has access to all 16 lanes. As soon as you add a 2nd device(2nd video card, an M.2 SSd, whatever) then each of the 2 devices get access to 8 lanes...

    How did you even spend $4500 on a PC? Was $1500 of that tied up in monitors or something? I'd have trouble spending $4500 on a PC with anything short of dual Titan video cards in it

    That's not quite as cut & dry as you make it seem (since he supposedly knows nothing of SSDs) M.2 SATA(the most common kind, and priced comparably with normal SATA SSDs) isn't any faster than regular SATA 3 SSDs. Your Samsung 850 Evo SATA vs Samsung 850 Evo M.2 is going to be pretty much the...

    Which is par for the course for the bleeding edge of performance. Heck, a 1080 is 75% more expensive than a 1070, and only 20-25% more performance. You definitely pay a premium for top of the line, which doesn't really correlate with the amount of additional performance you're getting.

    I've already seen a few 1070s available briefly for under $400 after mail-in-rebate. Jet.com had one brand that was around $360 after rebate, Newegg had an ASUS 1070 for like $385 after a special paypal discount, etc. Seems like the prices are already dropping a little bit, it should become...

    Problem is, we've all seen what happens when a power conference is focused on basketball prestige rather than football. The Big East was great(at basketball) but it didn't last. It just doesn't seem like basketball revenue is enough to sustain a conference at the highest level long-term. But...

    The 1070 is solid, and you can probably get one for under $400 very soon (Jet.com had one briefly in stock for $360 the other day, and MSRP on 3rd party boards is only supposed to be about $370, prices are artificually inflated right now due to inventory shortages form the recent launch). I'd...

    I just want a damn 1070 that isn't over $400. I guess it'll take a while for the initial rush to die down before they get down to the MSRP of $369 or whatever they're supposed to be at.

    I'd do some more research on if the radiator for your H100i water cooler would fit in a mini ITX case. The radiator is 275mm wide, meaning it's a little wider than the width of 2 120mm fans, so you need exterior venting in your case that supports 2 side-by-side 120mm fans + another inch or so...
