Is anyone here experienced in building PCs? I'll take any help I can get. I have a list of parts I want to buy.

Is that all I need? Is this stuff even compatible with each other?

All the links are to amazon. I'm at about $2500

Nexus 7 General Discussion / Suddenly very very sad
« on: February 25, 2013, 01:30:57 PM »
So I use to love the build quality of my nexus 7 but it appears the back has come slightly lose. So now the back panel squeaks every time it slightly flexes. Anyone else have any issues? I've also had an issue around the volume and power button, same on my N4.

'Apps' Member Reviews / App Review: WidgetLocker
« on: February 20, 2013, 12:29:45 PM »
WidgetLocker is a pretty neat app which replaces your lock screen and let's you customize it. Its based off of ADW launcher which I already use and love and find the customization of the different sliders and things like that very nice.

Unfortunately the app is useless and a total waste of $2.99. It does not hide the home button on the bottom and you can simply press that to unlock instead. It renders the dash clock widget useless and it is very hard to find different sliders and things like that.

I do not recommend.

So I beat all three mass effects on my PS3 last night after about two weeks of play. I'm shocked. Its one of the best games I've ever played. Has anyone else played it?

The Lounge: Off Topic Forum / I need some phone help guys
« on: December 23, 2012, 07:06:42 PM »
OK I got a galaxy nexus 16gb unlocked. I would like to get a new phone that is unlocked. I'm considering the nexus 4 but I heard the rumor about the new Motorola X project next year. Part of me thinks well the N4 is so cheap compared to other unlocked phones but that is 350 bucks towards the new moto phone. 

Any input guys?

There isn't any particular thing wrong with my gnex, its just getting a little old.

Nexus 7 Vs. The Competition / My Long List of All I Know
« on: December 04, 2012, 06:43:22 PM »
I've had a few tablets and have done a ton of research on what kind of tablet I've always wanted. And it doesn't exist. The next best thing to what I've always wanted was the Motorola Xoom 2 otherwise known as the XYBoard. I'll start at the beginning. I do feel like I'm missing one or two in there.

Archos A70

My first tablet, it was a 7" tablet with 2.2 and what first got my feet wet with android. I learned a lot from this tablet and did a lot of customization to it.  My tablet had a 250gb HDD in it. That's right it wasn't solid state. It was all the storage that got me into DVD ripping software which ultimately led to DVD catalyst which in heavily recommend. I honestly had no complaint about the tablet except for the screen and that it was too small. So I upgraded.

Asus Transformer 101

Everyone remembers this guy. It was praised as amazing. It had a wonderful keyboard dock that was very useful, but honestly? This is the most difficult to review tablet I've owned. It had decent hardware inside but everyone at the time had the same hardware. It had bad speakers and I think all Asus tablets even today (excluding the N7) have terrible build quality issues.  Debris would get under the glass and the tablet would flex back and forth and make horrible noises. I hated it. This is what started my drive to find build quality. What sent me over the edge was them cranking out new models every two months and released 7 different 10" tablets within a year of each other and each one was just to fix the issues of the last. Every single one seems very flimsy to me. And just to add the keyboards for the Asus lines really aren't that nice, Bluetooth keyboards offer more features and are much cheaper and more portable.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10"

So I had gotten my Gnex while in between these two tablets and it got me thinking about Samsung. The galaxy tab got my attention and tried it out for two weeks.  I think its total garbage especially for the money. It became loose and squeaky like the Asus and had a not so great screen but better than the Asus. The speakers were sweet on it but my biggest complete was the lack of storage, the dual core processor instead of quad and just general plastic feel.

Xoom 2

I didn't actually own this tablet. I ordered it and it was back ordered for 2 months before I gave up. I actually ordered it before the Samsung. What I love about this tablet is the build quality. It was water resistant, it was metal, it had exposed screws, it was an awesome military looking style tablet. I loved it. The screen was decent but it was restricted by its dual core processor like the Samsung. I honestly thought the build quality was worth it. I would pay $800 today for a Xoom 2 with a quad core processor, 2gb of ram, 32gb of memory, and a HD screen.

I took a break from tablets feeling disheartened.

Nexus 7

So I loved my nexus phone and decided I wouldn't buy any other phone but a nexus. The cheap price of the N7 scared me. I had $800 set aside for a tablet but this guy was 250. Could it really give me everything I needed? It has a better build quality than everything other than the Xoom 2. It had the newest and best hardware which was a must. It was everything I wanted. I think I figured out what the deal was with build quality was on tablets. The 10" tablet form doesn't have enough support behind the screen to keep them from flexing and stressing which will ultimately lead to their demises. The Xoom 2 had a magnesium chassis in the shape of an X that prevented that which is why its so much better. 10" tablets should be made out of metal. That is why I'm skeptical of the N10, and its lack of quad core.

I will be looking forward to Google glass. I think that will be an amazing thing if it can deliver what I want it to.

Nexus 7 Android OS (Jelly Bean) / Official 4.2 issues thread
« on: November 17, 2012, 12:12:11 AM »
Didn't see one of these but if so I apologize. If you have see any issues report them here.

I noticed I can no longer stream Bluetooth audio to my Bose speaker with wifi on at the same time. Pretty big deal for me.

Nexus 7 General Discussion / What a 32 Nexus 7 comes with
« on: October 29, 2012, 02:46:22 PM »
So the original nexus 7 came with the new transformer movie, a book, a 25 dollar gift card and a couple magazines. The new one I got today came with ice age and an episode of planet earth. It came with 5 books and 3 magazine's.

Another thing I noticed is that you can still get a $25 gift card for adding a credit card to an account that hasn't had a credit card on it before.

Nexus 7 Vs. The Competition / IPad mini comparisons?
« on: October 24, 2012, 10:23:52 PM »
I'm very surprised that no one has really mentioned anything about the iPad mini or a comparison or anything so I'll be the first and hopefully this will help people on the fence...

What an overpriced piece of garbage! I mean come on! Their just using old iPhone parts.  The screen is crap with a poor resolution and a lower pixel per inch which means its not as bright as the nexus 7 and with the the new pricing hopefully coming it 130 dollars more for a slower tablet with a worse screen. What garbage! And for all the people who got mad at Google for charging 50 dollars more to double the memory look at apple! Its one hundred dollars! What's up with that?

As you can see I'm less with thrilled with iPad mini but I hate apple. Chime in if you guys feel other wise.

Nexus 7 Accessories / Gumdrop Cases
« on: October 03, 2012, 08:47:06 AM »
Just wanted to let people know that the N7 gumdrop cases should be here this month. For those of you who don't know what a gumdrop case is it is a 3 piece case that is extraordinarily durable and is military grade. http://www.gumdropcases.com/google-nexus-7-droptech.html

Their worth every penny.
