People that hate on 3D so hard crack me up. Not wanting to shell out for a new TV makes sense, but avoiding it when you already bought the television is just being a stubborn jackass

Or it could something simple like that there are currently no 3D movies or games that interest me enough to spend another $60.00+ for glasses I might use once or twice.

Edit: Updated price because 3D glasses prices have fallen since I got my TV.

It depends on the 3D tech. Our set is passive so all we need are those junky glasses you get when you go see a 3d movie in the theatres. When we got our set it came with 14 pairs already plus the 6 or so from past 3d movies so we ended up with 20 pairs of glasses which would cost about 10-15 for two pairs if we wanted to buy them.

The most amazing 3d br's we've seen so far are Imax Tahiti Ultimate Wave and Transformers Dark of the Moon 3d. The imax one is clearly a "WOW" pop out one with outstanding PQ and TF DOTM isn't pop out wow but it's still amazing. Both are clearly demo disc quality and should be the two titles to show people what 3 movies can be like.

That's pretty sweet dn. I wish I had money for a new system, mines maxed and it's really showing its age now.

I like how the neither the mobo nor the blu ray drive came with cables.

Why are you mixing RAM brands?

If they are OEM components, that's most likely the reason.

WedgeBob · Feb 5, 2012

Yeah...looks like someone needed a more serious upgrade than I did for once.

However, yeah...congrats on that one.

A better question would be why he spent 50 bucks on an 8gig kit?

Tag says 50. payed $23.
The Red ones are from my job, a customer no longer wanted to upgrade his comp, but the parts were labled as abandoned (past 30 days since customer has contacted us) so I took care of them.

Also Toilet I know you told me that I do not need a i7, but apparently the place I bought it from had a $99 sale on i5's and they ran out.

That ain't right. The ASUS Z68-V should come with four SATA cables.

Strange. My asus board came with 4 sata cables.

WedgeBob · Feb 6, 2012

Hmm... Almost all my mobos came with all sorts of cables and power supply addons, etc... All from various brands like Asus, Gigabyte, and Foxconn, and all them came with what was needed.

EVGA GTX 560 Ti

I'm selling my old GTX 260 to someone for 100$ because they need a video card and in the end the difference is 189.99. Not a bad deal.

So. Damned. Good. I want to be like Dan Chaon when I grow up.
