For my HTPC/gaming rig. August couldn't come any sooner.

Amazon had me 2nd guessing the size of the board as 10.8 x 8.4 x 2 inches and had me fretting that it was too big for my CM 120 case, ( Had me vexed that the Corsair Obsidian 250D was out of stock at the time of this posting too

) only to get it and the Mobo is a proper 8.4 x 8.4 inches, Thanks alot Amazon for posting the shipping size as the actual size, grr..

Bought a Cooler Master JetFlo 120 to cool out the new build. Seeking out a 3 or 4 pin Y fan splitter to run the case fan and this one together for better airflow.

Experience man says: do NOT run case fans and CPU fans off of the same header.

The reason for that should be obvious.
The CPU fan is the single most important fan in most builds, and should be isolated on their own fan header. It's the reason why ALL motherboards now have a separate, clearly labelled 'CPU FAN' header.

Well noted Arc, the spliter is to run the case fans off of the 2nd fan header on the Mobo, NOT the fan header that cools the processor.

Picked up an Intel NUC for my inlaws. They'll be using it as a home pc for basic tasks like Office and browsing the web. Very impressed with the performance so far.

Not bad at all. I can see my sis using something like this for internet since her place smaller than mine.

Just played back some 1080p video on it, works decent.

Bought a 2nd car.

Was cheap (compared to the locally available options) and i really always wanted a 2 door coupe style car.

No show off thing here, just one of those 'bucket list' type things u can say

Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5", saw a pre-Black Friday price of $399, decided to spring for it, price went down by $20 by the time I clicked 'Add to cart', so got it for $379 (plus the bloody tax-$404)

Great device. Running mine about a month now absolutely lovely. For the price there's nothing better. Even just as good as devices twice it's price.

Keep dreaming, sonny.

You disagree Arc?

Arcmanov · « **Reply #995 on:** November 23, 2014, 09:55:13 PM »

I don't want to cause no drama, so I'll agree with the 1st part of the comment. For the money...it win. Hands down.

The part about being 'just as good'...well, that's 'debatable'.

Lol fair enough sir arcmanov

rassmatic · « **Reply #997 on:** November 24, 2014, 04:43:29 PM »

I can bet Arc money that he'll see very little, if any difference in performance between his much rated-up, wallet-busting Note and the OnePlus. Just because it's twice as expensive doesn't mean it's twice as good. Just saying

I never said that...you did.

Day 1 and so far no gripes. a device this size will take some getting accustomed to, as will the general feel of android. Will be frequenting lifehacker for android articles soon enough, so if anyone has any recommendations on where to start it'll be very much appreciated
