Techies or tech-inclined....sooo what you getting your girl/dude for X-mas....?
- Thread starter SNIDELY WHIPLASH
- Start date
Probably a gtx 980 for myself. The lady friend is still fairly new so won't be anything crazy.
Who are you dating? Olivia Munn?
Not yet. It's the final piece of the puzzle for my HTPC. I'll get a couple steam remotes as well and it'll be my gaming/movie/TV box
Already have one in my bedroom (MCE), although it doesn't run Steam, it runs MAME and KODI. Gets TV from a silicondust box with cablecard.
Also has Kodi appended to the menus for quick MCE access.
Something like that..."Attack of my ball frow show" is my new gig
My HTPC may or may not be on a supermicro mobo and using a quad core xeon w/ hyperthreading
I assume it's going to be more games than movies then, eh? That's quite a bit for an HTPC.
It's going to be for both, and I'll move my plex server over to it so I can shut my desktop down. I got most of the parts for free, that's why I went with it. Plus a 4k TV will be had next year as well. I actually have two more xeons with similar specs. I may build a micro atx or itx pc to replace my desktop. Decisions decisions
Have you had a chance to play with the Steam controller yet? They put the buttons in such an awkward position.
No I haven't. If they suck I'll get 360 controllers
If you're interested in donating an additional gtx980 because the lord said give people free shit, then...I mean, I'd volunteer as tribute...
Lol haha I'll have an r9 280x I'd part with for super cheap once I get the 980
Best Buy has a buy one Nintendo-published game get one 40% off this week, so if that's your thing, now might be a good time to get something for the wii/DS
Plan on it friend. It was a complete bust, imo. Went right back to my DS4.
Got a Gigabyte GTX950 Windforce Extreme edition from my dad. I tossed it into my older system for the short term, Once I'm done getting the last few bits of the new Frankenstein machine, I'll toss it in there. Cant wait.
Fallout 4 is fucking gorgeous on the 980Ti. Everything is really. Mot likely won't have to upgrade until Valve finally releases their next wave of games.
a 980ti wont have to be upgraded for a couple years, min.
But to answer
@ABE FROMAN's question, I'm getting my TMMAC secret santa a tech-related gift. Hopefully he/she digs it.

Go with micro atx, I built my router with a nice one. Intel NUC is also a nice solution.
4K's are extra cheap nowadays. Fucking 75" for less than 2K.....
I will not play Half Life 3 in any less than constant 60 fps. If that takes upgrading again soon, so be it. But this is Valve we're talking about here. Half Life 3 wont' come out any time soon.
Sounds nice...I'm playing it with a frickin 560 ti. *silently cries*
