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…
After finally completing my home storage server, I started to capture old videos onto my computer. I now have a place to store my source files, my projects, and the finished product. The videos I captured using my Sony A65or my Canon M30 are easy to send to my computer since they are already in…
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….
I’ve seen many Youtube videos that are great but the audio quality is poor. It takes away from making the video better. I admit I’ve done some videos with poor audio. I’m not saying I’m a professional at creating videos but I’d like to present them with more effort than usual. So I’ve been trolling…
It’s been a few months since I replaced my refurbished Beats by Dre headphones. Whether refurbished or new I will never buy another one of those headphones. They are overpriced and it doesn’t even sound good. That’s why I bought refurbished just to try it out. Never again! I’ve been hearing great things about the…
