I’ve been gathering parts for the last few weeks and I’ve finally got all of it. Here are the main components of my hexacore build for 2013. Intel Core i7-3930K Gigabyte GA-X79-UP4 motherboard Corsair H80i CPU Cooler G.Skill Ripjaws Z Series 32GB (4x8G) DDR3-1866Mhz MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB OC Edition video card Fractal…
I was going to wait for the Haswell processors to come out before considering on building another computer. But I was presented with an unbeatable deal on an Intel 3930K processor. I made the deal and I’m waiting on the arrival of the hexacore processor. So far I got the Fractal Design Define R4 tower…
I have recently gotten my hands on a used Kindle Touch 3G (D01200) from Cowboom. They had a pretty good price and I was curious. After a few days of use, I’m pretty impressed by its battery life and display (e-ink). I can easily read text while outside in sunlight. It felt good holding it…
I’ve been waiting for a deal on this motherboard for a while now. Newegg would have 20% off sale with a coupon from time to time but I wasn’t ready to get it yet. I recently got my new server chassis (Rosewill RSV-L4500) so now I’m ready for the motherboard. Waiting paid off. Amazon’s price…
I meant to post this as soon as I uploaded the video on Youtube. But here is a short video on the Rosewill RSV-L4500. I bought it from Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/Rosewill-Thickness-Rackmount-Black-RSV-L4500/dp/B0091IZ1ZG) for a very good price. Newegg reviews seemed great and what sold me is it can hold up to 15 drives. I didn’t need the…
As I had posted before, I wanted to get the same lens I had with my Canon onto my Sony. Here’s another lens I got for my Sony A65. It’s the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8. My wife got it for me for Christmas. It’s a great all-around/walk-around lens. I enjoyed it on my Canon XS and…
Yes, I made the switch from Canon to Sony. I’ve been using my Sony A65 for a few months now and one of the things I wanted to do was to get the same lens I had with my Canon XS. I really enjoyed my “nifty fifty” on my Canon. Sony’s version is the SAL50F18….
After using this for a couple of weeks, I can honestly say that this is by far the best accessory you can buy for your digital SLR. Before this strap, I was using the strap that came with my camera. At first it was okay. But once you start using lenses – other than the…
My new shotgun microphone came in today. I picked the Rode VideoMic Pro. I’ve checked out some reviews and Youtube videos and this became my choice for the budget and my noobness with video/audio. I will be using it on my Canon M30. Here are some pics I took. It looks like a scorpion doesn’t…
