szhafri — Wed, 02 May 2012 10:06:34 +0800

Hello guys,
Need help on deciding on a PC casing. Im getting a new pc and im having issue on deciding on which chassis to get.
these are my options : Silverstone Raven 02E or Cooler Master Storm Trooper

Website:
Raven02E_site
CM trooper_site
I need advice preferably from ppl who have these chassis above or have good knowledge on this. I need your opinion and experience about these chassis.

What I think:

Raven 02 E
Pros
Awesome airflow (90 degrees)
good, powerful fan
Dust filters
windowed
Cons
wires coming out from the top !!??!
only have 2 usb slot( not big issue)
not really nice design ( in my opinion)
has no extra interesting features

Trooper
Pros
Awesome design (in my opinion)
Allot of features (usb 3.0 and 2.0 slots /tool box/ more HDD slots/ light and fan control )
Good space inside
dust filers
Cons
Not so good cooling ( I think)
No window

If my pc specs important for you guys to help me decide ,these are the list:

1X gtx680 msi twin froz (plan for sli in near future)
Gigabyte sniper 3 z77
crosshair 750 W PSU
1X 1tWD HDD
1X SSD
crosshair h60 CPU cooler

PS:I dont mind if u suggest something else also (around rm 500 range full tower). But preferably the choice between this two.

issue on megaupload takendown

szhafri — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 07:55:33 +0800

Ok guys, im sure you all been aware of this SOPA/PIPA thing that's spreading around the net. And for you who don't know , Google it.

But my topic isn't about this so much ,but its about the recent event of Megaupload taken down by the FBI/FED's. Well, it really doesn't matter to me at first till I found out that The FBI in America now has everyone info who downloaded or uploaded using Megaupload including ppl from overseas. Not only that, they have the right to sue this ppl for copyright infringement from this list even ppl from overseas. I need you guys to watch this video .This guys explains everything.

I want to know YOUR opinion on this , and ho will it effect Malaysian users of megaupload or is this sumthing not to worry about?.

New Gaming Rig help

szhafri — Sun, 08 Jan 2012 10:28:39 +0800

Hello guys. I need some opinion and suggestion on a new PC gaming rig. I plan to get a new pc latest by next week Sunday. My budget is around 3.5 k or more if required .
Need PC that can play high end games (bf3/crysis2/Fable3 /Batman) and also for my work . Im a game artist/developer that works on 3dmax/ zbrush / Photoshop and also the Unreal/cry engine (mostly unreal).
Im not sure where I should spend my money more on. I know that Z Brush requires allot of ram , but spending more on "Powerful" graphic card would suffice for my work? or do i need to get also a "High end"(gaming) Mobo to compliment the graphic card. My current PC is starting to give problems. (gonna pass to my dad , lol.)

This is what I think is suitable for me from my personal research and suggestion from shop but i hope u guys can suggest better and help me out in this because I have a game project to finish and i need a reliable PC to work on.

Possessor : i7-2600 RM900
Ram : kingstonhyperX 4Gx2 Rm170 or Vengeance 4gx2 Rm260
HD : WD 1tb sata3 RM280
MOBO p8z68-vpro Rm690
GPU Msi Gtx 560 TF Rm570 <------------------wanted to get 580. but will go slightly over budget, should get 2 560 instead?.
PSU: Croshair TX 650W RM385
Casing Enforcer/or Scout Rm319/Rm309
Cooling system : Not sure yet (good casing enough?) I have a asus lion head CPU fan on my current pc .Can I / should I re-use this on new pc?

Monitor/keyboards and mouse :leave out first. (uses current one for now)

Pls give me an Awesome pc specs suggestion. Feel free to modify this list all you want, I dont mind going slightly over budget if i have too . Want it to last for a long time.

P.S: Is a gaming spec MOBO gives alot of difference? i saw Rampage GENE and Gigabyte G1 Sniper 2 and kind of interested cuz of their features they provide in them but not sure if i really need them. Plus they support PCIE 3.

Thanks

szhafri — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 05:04:18 +0800

YES u heard me.. its now a multi platform ..this means its also on Xbox 360 and ps3.

LInks> http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermov...aylist=featured
(broke my heart ..see the ending)

In my opinion..i t think Sony is stupid for not locking the deal wif enix. ITS THEIR 2nd mistake(1st was GTA4)
i have been a fan of final fantasy..i bought my ps3 mainly for final fantasy . i dont come form a rich family so i cant aford many games or even an xbox. my love for FF made me take up gaming course in lim kok weng. i guess u guy are wondering..y cant i juts get it on the ps3 . well i tell u y.. its because its not fair that xbox360 owners get to buy the fake one or cheaper the ps3 . Zzzz its like the war is over..xbox win(America wins)

Pls tell me your opinion about this horrifying change that enix made.
