Comment on the military.com article says it all: Sgt. Meyer, you did not let your brothers down. You allow them to rest in peace by bringing them home to their families rather than being given up to the enemy. Well done Marine. http://www.cnn.com/2011/POLITICS/09/15/marine.medal.of.honor/index.html?eref=rss_topstories&utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+rss%2Fcnn_topstories+%28RSS%3A+Top+Stories%29 http://www.military.com/news/article/marine-to-receive-moh-sept-15.html Sent from Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted September 17, 2011 Share Posted September 17, 2011 Yeah their very similar. HAF X has native front panel USB ports, a duct for cooling graphics cards and a little cooling support and XL-ATX compatibility with 9 PCI slots. The difference is marginal and i honestly think both are quality cases.Unboxing the H80, i was happy to see that they included 2 fans, unlike previous editions that supported 2 but only came with 1.http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01244.jpghttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01245.jpgVertex 3 SSDhttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01247.jpgI5 2500k processor with Intel's stock heat sinkhttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01246.jpgDominator Ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest RET.CW4.ThievingSix=US= Posted November 6, 2011 Share Posted November 6, 2011 Here's the ending to my story.After getting in game and bf3 for a, while the card would not show any display after crashing while watching a video. I would get past POST and then the starting windows screen would show and then nothing. I uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers fully and using different versions and nothing seemed to fix the problem, the card worked fine in safemode but would not work with the drivers. As a last ditch effort i took my card out and placed in back in again and like magic it started working, it was really odd.So here the last few pictures of my build.http://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01248.jpgThe motherboard was definitely as beastly as expectedhttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01250.jpgMessy Build area = Good buildhttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01252.jpghttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01249.jpghttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01251.jpghttp://i122.photobucket.com/albums/o243/ThievingSix/Pc%20Build/DSC01253.jpgIn the PC world size matters, here is a comparison of the old and the new.All in all it was a great experience, and i definitely learnt a lot.
