I think they said sometime between 3 weeks and mid september.
Some foreign sites and newegg already had some on sale, but out of stock now.
OverclockersUK have some models available for preorder.

To buy ps4 or not?

[Ronaldo95163]

Nah doh waste yuh $$$ on dat

[DTAC]

I'd love to see a comparison between a machine running DDR3 and an exact specs machine running DDR4 memory and increases are.

[ismithx]

wow, ddr4, the future is here. but seriously tho, it doesn't really pay off to be an early bandwagonist. wait for the tech to mature a bit and the prices to drop?

Yep wait by this time next year will be a nice time to upgrade .

[ruffneck_12]

daai good talk, I go chill meh stones till then

[DVSTT]

I never had a ps3 so I'm bit upgrading lol. But I'm also due to start school so i m not sure if I'll have the time. Ps3 and a few games is also an option

Unless there is a game that you want to play that is exclusive to the console. ..I see no reason in getting one. Just my $0.02.
I wanted God of War.... so guess what console I got

Guess I'll wait until ps4 price drops I suppose...

[fred1266]

They fix the store-language $hit as yet?

No they haven't but I use Chrome to purchase my game, there translation widgets works great

its up to what you play, but imo if you don't care to much for the major ps4 titles i'd say just go with a ps3 because they can be had for cheap now and they finally have stable "working" mods for it that's if you want to go down that route

doesn't really make sense you f0rq out one set of money for the ps4 then another set for games only to be using it one time for the month

[fouljuice]

You could check supertech.
I not sure if the 1500VA is the same model you looking for so you could give them a call.

I think Pricesmart used to have these a few years now for about $900 or $1000
http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-SMART1000LCD-1000VA-Outlets/dp/B000B651DO

I never used it and the amazon reviews don't look too good.

[Ronaldo95163]

Supertech sell them...using one myself from them....not sure if they have the 1500 tho

[C & C Trading]

[ruffneck_12]

Nice block. What u cooling with it?

[Ronaldo95163]

Using it on the Z68 board in the trooper...staying Ivy...wanted to try my hands on a custom loop...nothing extravagant.

Doing the CPU and the Motherboard




Using Primochill Bloodshed red tubing as well

SO ah ivy bridge cpu on a z68 board, cooling the vrm/chipset/cpu? WHy u didin't get ah z77 board (yes i know u in luv with that evga board)? I using ah msi z68a-gd65 with ah i5-3570k cpu rite now with ah liquid cooled gtx 570 (was suppose to be a pair but one dead, got a next working one but i lazy rite now to put it back in d loop).

In d bios the oc showing up as 4.7ghz even in windows but coretemp and cpuz showing stock clocks. Read up on z68 chipsets and ivy bridge and most reviews state they oh oc well together.

Ordered a real z77 board to try meh luck, actually two z77 (an atx and a micro atx).

[Ronaldo95163]

^Have you benched it and seen any differences as opposed to it @ stock in terms of performance???

From what I saw it was really Gigabyte users complaining of OCing issues

What kinda board you ordered btw???

I think so, will have to power up d pc and check the links/screenshots.

Got this one ebay via auction (was playing d a$$ and actually won):

http://www.asrock.com/mb/intel/z77%20pro3/

Basic features but i eh into sli/xfire again, just wanted a z77 chipset to see where the overclocking problem lies.

Was looking for a cheap cpu on ebay too and won this board in d auction(was a combo):

http://www.asrock.com/mb/Intel/Z77%20Pro4-M/

So i have two test boards now

[Ted_v2]

Anyone can tell me what's the best deal on a monitor now?

Still looking for one. Rebuilt my pc and used back a old screen.

[fouljuice]

Nah boi you have to supply more info than that.

What is the main use/price range/size/resolution you looking at?

[maj. tom]

you getting nice HDMI monitors at The Wizz in POS. Check if their website is up for a price list, or call. Got a 23" LG there and no regrets.
