    Optics Using Metamaterials Could Allow The Naked Eye To See Microscopic Detail

    There is also SIM (structured illumination microscopy). Main problem I see is you don't see a lot of stuff using only ambient light and non dyed samples. Most light microscopy uses specific wavelengths for excitation illumination and then count on emission filters to see the specific...

    Air Force Destroys ISIS HQ Building Using Social Media

    So I hope this isn't the ONLY intel they used to blow a friggin' building up. Seems like the a-holes found a way to get any building they want blown-up by pretending it's an ISIS building. former ECM Tech F4-E 35th CRS & OV-10A 27th TASS

    Best NUC-style computer?

    I have 3 Haswell NUCs: D34010WYK (short i3) D54250WYKH (Tall i5) D54250WYK (short i5) I've only heard the fan on hot days, upper 70s inside, other than that, nice and quiet. The i3 is definitely the quietest of the bunch. I imagine if you try it for a while, you'll pass on buying a...

    First SFF System. Air flow?

    That case takes a full ATX PSU Other than that, if you are sticking with the Intel graphics, and a Haswell CPU you will have plenty of airflow and a very quiet PC. I have built several SFF PCs in small Lian Li cases with very similar layout.

    NUC assy. steps for Noobs

    https://www.flickr.com/photos/116100864@N04/14501893796/in/set-72157645449567953 I've been building PCs for work and home for years, but I really like the NUCs, and think that it's a good way for noobs to get in their first PC "Build". So I took some pics of my last build, and added some...

    mITX mobo, PicoPSU, and flexible PCIe riser - do I need a powered riser?

    So if I understand your question, you want to put a video card, that would work fine in a PCIe slot with no supplemental power (because the card doesn't have a connector for it), into a 90 degree riser, right? Unless the specs for the riser say that it can't handle the same power draw as the...

    Freeze, but mouse still works, failed mobo?

    Try a new SATA cable, and if you have 2 SATA controllers try the other controller. I have had a couple of bad SATA cables cause some weird problems.

    Any thing need to be changed before I buy?

    Definitely agree with having 2 RAM sticks for dual channel mode. But it has been years since I've seen a mobo that wouldn't work with 2x8GB. The OP's selected board will work fine with 1 8GB, or 2 8GB.

    ASUS Maximus VI Impact LGA 1150 Motherboard Review @ [H]

    Awesome review & board, I'm a big fan of the mini-ITX form factor, and it's nice to see it being stretched. In the review, where you mention the I/O panel, you have a picture of the PSU connectors, I couldn't find a pic of the I/O panel anywhere.

    Newbie looking to build an SFF system

    I noticed you only have 1 stick of RAM, you should definitely get 2, to enable dual channel mode, 2 4GB sticks will perform much better than 1 8GB stick. For an extra $100 you could build an extremely compact PC (& easiest build there is): Intel NUC BOXD54250WYKH1 $400 @ Newegg Mushkin...

    First NUC Build: Thoughts?

    In my case (the 250GB Samsung) I do move the location of the Documents, Pictures, Music, & Video folders to the HDD, but not the Desktop (because I have had issues with moving the location of "Desktop" from C:\ ), I like the ability to temp move large folders & files to the desktop, as well as...

    First NUC Build: Thoughts?

    The D54250WYKH does have a few more vent holes than the D54250WYK, not enough to make that much difference IMO. My room is not "tomb-quiet". Also, I've worked around jet aircraft for over 16 years and play guitar and drums (loudly) every week, I do have some loss at 3KHz. But others have said...

    First NUC Build: Thoughts?

    I have a D34010WYK & a D54250WYKH, the size difference isn't as big a deal as I thought, so I definitely recommend the NUCs with the 2.5" drive support. For the Big NUC I went with: NUC D54250WYKH1: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856102055 Samsung 840 EVO 250GB...

    Wow, how lame. Deleting all posts referencing your "First Tuesday" mistake (later edited to correct)? People make mistakes, when you do, own it, it's the only way to learn from it. Don't go way out of your way to hide it. Again, lame.

    Apple Is #1...In Massive Coal Use

    Didn't see an "estimate" for the percentage of coal energy Green Peace uses, they do use energy right? I bet they have to buy electricity wherever they have a presence without a choice of how it is made, like everybody else.
