I'm running Windows 8 full time now. It's not bad. Takes some getting used to. I will be disabling MetroUI once I figure out how to do it though.

If you're using windows 7 home premium and you're fine with that & you don't use media center then just get the core edition & save some money.

Idk if this is right place to post. But do you guys have any suggestions on what the best PC laptop is available right now? I was thinking of looking into a Samsung...But IDK where to start or if I should stick to a specific brand.

Yeah but you dont have to upgrade. Microsoft supports all their Windows up to 10 years. I think Windows 7 is by far one of the best OS Microsoft has ever came out with.No SP2 for Windows 7
microsoft has been shafting windows 7 users too much to upgrade to windows 8.
think im done with microsoft & their software.
Windows 8 just has a huge learning curve one of the many reasons why I will stick with 7 until something more appealing comes out.

I like windows 8 so far, boot up time is amazing. I am waiting on SP1 before installing it on my rig, tho.

The Xonar DG is solid, especially for the price. Mine just crapped out the other day, though. Only had it since July.

Can anyone recommend a case with a removable front panel to clean the fans? My room gets really dusty for some reason. Also something that will fit a fan like a cm 212.

I've actually been looking for a new soundcard and new speakers.
Been holding out until I see a good sale. 29 for the DG doesn't seem too bad.

Yeah, The DG is going good so far. I've never used or heard a stx in action but I can't imagine this sound getting any better.

Has anyone been able to upgrade to Windows 8 with HDDs set up in RAID?
I'm trying to do it but it's not giving me the option to keep my files and I don't want to format my hard drive

Not sure if there is any specific hardware you might need for a Hackintosh rig, but you have some quality components right there. The Extreme4 definitely has great value for its price.
Copped Windows 8 x64 System Builder off Amazon for $85 last night. Should be here in a couple of weeks. Can't wait. This rig needs a fresh install ASAP.
