    Looks like you can get the phone for T-Mobile, but you have to buy it through Google

    Just ordered this for my GF's jeep. It's a 2011 4 door Wrangler Unlimited Sport. The factory stereo barely works at all.

    Any suggestions on speaker upgrades to go with it? Really just looking for a good clean sound that's loud enough to listen with the top down in the summer. She doesn't need subs and all those extras

    Anybody play Ark: Survival Evolved. I bought it with a couple friends on steam when it went on sale. Its pretty sweet so far, we might rent a server to play on so that none of our comps have to host it.

    I just installed a GTX1070 in my computer! Big step up from my 660ti!

    I bet that's a huge difference from the 660ti!

    I miss building gaming rigs and working on them. I overclocked my desktop from 3.56 to 4.10 and that's about as far as I've made it.

    I'm still running a 550ti. I'll have to upgrade when I buy a 4k monitor. I'm considering buying a 16gb ram module for my laptop though because...

    I can play games on high or ultra now instead of being stuck on low! It's amazing. Need a new monitor to take advantage of it though...

    So a week with the Pixel for far. It's great. Everything is so smooth and fast on it. It did take a couple days to get used to the back and task buttons because they are flipped compared to my Samsung. Battery seems to be good on it and build quality is fantastic. The fingerprint reader is fast and in a great spot. its the first time I've actually used this feature on a phone. It is sorta slick and takes some getting used to because it feels like you are going to drop it. I may end up getting a case for it because of this.

    I still need to go in and get one. Been busy and the thought of dealing with Verizon employees.....

    Get a case! My $8 case on my Note 4 has saved its ass a few times.

    I have a friend that works for tcc (Verizon dealer) he isn't a dick head and might be able to help you get a good deal. The only downside is he got transferred to sun city.

    That is a giant leap going from a 660 to a 1070!! nice man!! I love my 1080, handles anything you throw at it without an issue at all

    Yeah the difference is insane! Running Ark: Survival Evolved on my 660 on low I was running at 99% and ~65deg c. With the 1070 I'm running it on high and it never gets above 60deg and 85%. Its amazing.

    A friend of mine just built a new comp and he got the MSI 1070 with integrated liquid cooling, the thing is a beast!

    If he gets on Steam tonight I'll talk to him and see if theres anything he can do that way if he can't you don't have to waste a trip all the way out there.
