I had a NZXT Blackline and my 5850 barely fit. My new case is a HAF 922 though. Now I just need the money for a 7970.

I think making Rex stop complaining about stuff has higher success rate than this.

Dude, this bill is getting closer and closer than any other bill has come before. We must spread the word and do all we can to help bring these bills down. Obama better also help, he owes everyone one for the NDAA bill he signed. With these blackouts happening....

:3c a lot of things that I can't even keep count of.

I don't see what you mean about complaining but I do have a complaint to make. After I finally got some free time from my internship, I bought some games to play, but in less than 2 weeks I have a ten day trip to go on, and don't get me wrong It's gonna be a fun trip, but I'm losing ten days of gaming ffs and then when i come back I probably will go back to my internship. I haven't had much time since the start of December to play any games....I HATE having responsibilities.

There, your precious Rex complaining example.

Games can wait.

The internship doesn't pay me. I may need another job on the side. It's more like I've had a limited amount of time to write a program for them and it's taken most of my spare time, almost xmas. I'd like to limit myself, but it was a do or die situation. Most of this time was just reading books on how to write the program, so when not reading, I actually felt like it would be a waste of my time to watch any anime, play a game, hang out with friends, you know, self torture.

ah bloody hell need to look up things and wiki is blocked.

I do have adblock. Oh well guess I'm doing this the old fashioned way.

not using wikipedia for remedial searches.

If these bills pass, that's how you'll have to do it for now on since Wiki will be down if it does.

No you don't have to use adblock you can also use noscript. Just block Wikipedia.org and bam you can access the English site. Anyway thanks for the info Rex guess I'll get another case. I'll probably get the blue and white NZXT Phantom, mostly for its aesthetics.

who has rights over facts about stuff? SOPA just removes copyrighted stuff you know -.- doesn't mean FACTS get deleted.

Last I remember, 3DGameman measures the length from the HDD tray to the end of the case in his videos, so you know what will fit in the case you buy. Other than that, look for pics of people's rigs for reference.

Yeah, the government is supposed to do that without us knowing.

Nah, Google and every other major search engine will be shut down for linking to copyrighted material. You will have to go to your local library and check out things called books and do the research there.

Hell, *IF* SOPA or PIPA pass this may mean that print newspapers and magazines may just flourish again because the internet will shit to them. /s

Well, I just really want to see all the articles in the following week about how people were pissed that their favorite site was unavailable and that it could be this way permanently.

Oh, and my college is close today due to "a major snow storm warning of 4-12 inches." No I am not making that up. The best part is that it snowed on Sunday and stuck for most of the day (I think we got 2-3 inches), but right now it is dry on ground and no snow in the air. Free snow day, which means cramming lessons for the next week to make up topics.

Fair Use what now?

Rex wrote:Fair Use what now?

Well if SOPA or PIPA pass fair use wouldn't be considered, even though it is already covered under the Copyrights Act of 1976. See the problem is not fair use exemption, it is the fact that companies will be able to bypass due process of law. Not to mention that SOPA and PIPA break the First Amendment and free speech: Congress shall pass no law that infringes...

That should be enough to stop those bills IF the congress persons actually cared about upholding their jobs. Looks like people should complain that they are breaking their contract and should be brought up on corruption charges. Would be ideal for me and many others.

Wikipedia is using javascript to darken it's pages, blocking wikimedia will prevent that.

Ah this Snowpocalypse. Stupid Western Washingtonians. The snow isn't that big of a deal, and driving on snow isn't hard. Should say the only problem is the ice and hills, which is the major issue.
