Thank you again, Danny. Due to unforeseen purchases (house A/C died), I had to wait a month to purchase the items and change up some selections. I purchased: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H motherboard ($160) i5 3450 Ivy Bridge ($190) G.Skill 8GB RAM ($41) Crucial 128 GB SSD ($110) I decided...

Excellent build! Thank you very much. The motherboard and GeForce 430 were good calls.

1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? Home business: writing, "extreme" web browsing (70+ Chrome tabs open at a time), 2-3 simultaneous virtual machines, reverse engineering, light programming, and hobbyist password cracking 2) What's your budget? Are tax and...

Resolved. Can't delete on my own though.

I posted this last week in GM, then remembered that there was an appropriate subforum here for it. We're hiring an entry-level video/photo editor person to join us in some new work. We're all a bunch of techies training other techies, but have never gotten into video style work before. We've...

It'll be another year or two before I upgrade it. It's my writing box, so it doesn't need high performance. I just installed Windows 7 and 2GB is really crawling. I just placed the order. Thanks for the insight.

My current computer has: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe AMD Socket 939 motherboard Corsair TWINX2048-3200PT 2GB DDR Dual Channel (Memory Type: DDR-400 (XMS-3200C2), Latency: 2-3-3-6-2T, Format 184-pin DIMM) I would like to upgrade to 4GB but, of course, that RAM is no longer available. Is there a...

Fixed it :)

Thanks for the suggestions. The PLC kit that I referred in the first post is out. I'm also looking at the Smith Victor K75 kit (http://www.adorama.com/SVK75.html). I'll take a look at the AlienBees kits.

Bought it last week and love it. Picked it up for $100 from someone whose wife hated the music and wanted it out of the house :) I've been a long-time techno fan, so is my wife. I love the Daft Punk work, but some of the mixes are just bad (too much rap). It's challenging for the first hour...

My company is developing online educational videos and guides in-house. We have a Sony HD camcorder and a Canon 40D still camera. Most of our work will be recording live presentations, but there'll be a fair amount of still photography work. We're looking for a set of lighting for around...

I've posted on this in the past, and now all three of my Xbox controllers have deadzone issues. The thumbsticks don't return cleanly back to the deadzone will read a certain direction even when they're untouched. Two controllers have affected left thumbsticks, the third is the right tumbstick...

LOL, thanks but it is for Xbox like others mentioned. However, that's the exact reason why I never buy from Steam, as I resell all my games (and I blast through them within a week or two).

Very good, thanks! Just wanted to make sure so when I eventually sell it that I'm listing it correctly.

Zenonia is also 50% right now, only $3. Also, check out: Vay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-_pKwmDAOGM Opal's Quest http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9c1bzx86s-Q Elven Chronicles http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NhugjAy__NY
