Fonger Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 id rather have an SSD over a 10k drive personallythink slowly did you mean to say a 10k drive because if you did you would prefer to have a cup of tea over having a 10k drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fonger Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 10k is also a short form for 10kbwhich is 1/4 of a 40k drive which will fit as a partition on the smallest usb key drive you can find at any used hardware store Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarissi Posted January 29, 2012 Share Posted January 29, 2012 In the case of the Raptors, he is referring to the RPM speed: 10,000 RPM. Yes, they were Very expensive when they came on the market. I remember when Seagate came out with the very first !GB HDD at a retail price of $1,000 US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slimhouse Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Nice to see ~Monitors get a mention it is often one of the overlooked items we buy as PC users... I have a couple of tips to share (hope useful) 1) Professional Gamers (I'm not) like to keep their ~Monitor size in a certain range ie. not oversized as this means action /threat in their peripheral vision can be lost in intense battle/fight situations. my current is just an Acer 22" monitor. 2) Also a good response time measured in micro seconds (ms) my Acer is 5ms... and a good Contrast ratio to give realistic depth of field without 'white-out' of some colour (again) in certain colour ranges. Monitor producers have to balance all these things and sometimes Gains in one area mean a Loss all be it nominal in another area... though we are all really, totally spoilt for choice (lucky us) hope this is of use to above : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

us11csalyer Posted February 1, 2012 Share Posted February 1, 2012 Don't forget that 1GB GPUs are not going to be suitable much longer. 2GB+ GPU is where you'll want to be. Also make sure you get a mobo that supports PCI-e 3.0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
