I've been asked to put together some options for my church that does 3 services live streamed, recorded, and edited every weekend (plus a few other odds and ends). They plan to use Adobe Premier, and a live streaming service (can't remember the name of the program off the top of my head). They...

I've been on Flickr for a couple of years, with about 1200 photos on there now. I still don't really get a lot of views, comments, faves, or much activity at all really. I just use them as a hosting site to send albums to family or post on forums here and there. It's been fun watching as the...

I've been using Mayhems Pastel blueberry for about 2 years now, maybe a little bit longer. It still looks and cools like the day I got it, but it's getting to be time to change my tubing out. Had a couple questions: 1) How long is a reasonable length of time to have the coolant in service...

I'm running two ASUS PB278Q monitors, which for whatever reason has poor color rendering unless connected via dual-link DVI. They are 1440p res. I'm currently running a Radeon 6870 and an old GeForce 9600GSO (for the extra dual-link DVI port) for general desktop use, gaming (only on one...

I'm having some issues with my RAID array, full discussion on that in this thread: Questions for a new RAID 0 setup But I think I found my issue is a bad power cable. Specifically, all the power connectors after the one closest to the PSU (4 on the cable, the last 3 are intermittent or do not...

I got a soundbar for my TV setup, so I moved my 2 front speakers and receiver to my PC. It's great, but for my setup, I had to put the receiver underneath my laptop and docking station. My laptop nearly overheats just watching youtube now, so I think I need to get something else. It's just...

Just built a new desk and I want to protect it and improve my mouse feel and tracking. Looking for an XL or extended size pad, roughly 32" x 12". Some that caught my eye - Glorious PC gaming race extended, Corsair MM200 extended, Aorus extended. I really like what I've seen of the Aorus, how...

I have searched to the end of the internet and back, and I am now well aware that there is no such thing as a perfect camera bag - no way, no how. Can't blame anyone because of the wide array of uses they need to design for, but it sure doesn't make picking one any easier. I've been putting so...

As we all know, the Sony RX100 line of cameras has always been pretty fragile. Certainly not DSLR durability. Unfortunately, the front ring of metal that displays the lens text on mine got dented - while in a case, no less - and now the lens cover leaves do not open or close on their own...

I recently purchased a second SSD, the same size as the first (though, different manufacturers and models). I was thinking about trying a RAID 0 config for fun. Neither of these SSD's are flagship devices, so the extra performance while increasing capacity on a "single" drive sounds nice too...

Here's the situation. I started a new job 9 months ago, and they have a BYOD policy, but provide a stipend to cover some of the cell bill. I was on Ting for my personal plan at the time (pay for what you use), and thought I'd be smart by taking out another cell plan for work, getting another...

This mouse is being phased out for the newer Proteus Spectrum. The only thing they changed is the LED is now RGB, controllable through Logitech software, and the thumb rest is black instead of blue. On this one, the LED is always blue, but you can turn it off and on in the Logitech software...

I'll spare you my anecdote until later in the post. Bottom line is I'm looking for a new Nexus 5 screen, cheapest I can get (obviously), but more importantly I want it to be OEM, or as close to it as I can get. I'm sick of Amazon retailers labeling things as OEM when they're not. So, where...

OK, I've had this mouse for 10-15 years now and its a freaking tank. It has been manhandled, gone to countless LANs, moved 8 times across the country. Awesome. I recently upgraded to Windows 10 and its giving me some issues, so its time to look for new (I'll still keep it around for a spare...

Happy New Year! I'll leave it up to you guys if you want to continue to separate out the "NSFW" pics. I did appreciate it when I worked in an office, and I don't take those types of photos, but I am not the majority either. Here's to many more great shots this year! Finally got to enjoy some...

Looking for 5 minecraft accounts for my buddies to play. I can offer $10 per account. If you've got an account you haven't used in ages, this is a great way to make a few bucks! Thanks for considering. EDIT: 3 down, 2 to go.

My wife and I just bought a house and I finally have a space of my own. I work from home and play on my PC at night, so I spend a lot of time in this room. I'm currently using a cheap plastic folding table as a desk temporarily until I could come up with something better. Well, it's time to...

I have a friend who is looking for a new server for his small company (3-5 employees in one office). It needs to run AutoCAD Civil 3D, and act as the office's file server as well. Apparently, it really bogs down when multiple people are accessing files on the machine while someone is using it...

My wife's brother is a Senior in the Michigan Marching Band this year and I wanted to get some good pictures of him in uniform at games. The problem is, they won't let any camera lenses longer than 6 inches into the stadium. I'm speculating it has something to do with rights to the players/...

So I'm using a Radeon 6870 as my daily driver. It plays the games I have at the resolutions I want just fine... it's starting to show its age, but there are other priorities. Recently I upgraded my monitors for productivity reasons, and I didn't have the right ports on my card to support them...

Ok guys I finally have a video to start this thread. It's not great, just something I threw together, but I'm hoping this can be a place for those of us who are into videography to post what we've got and get feedback so we can keep improving. I took this video over memorial day weekend, just...

Would anyone have any interest in starting a post a video you took thread similar to our photo one that's stickied? Would it get any use? Personally I'm starting to dabble in video work and it would be kind of cool to see some others work for inspiration and have the community support to...

Background: I've been dabbling in photography since I was a little kid. I got my first DSLR when I went to college, a 20D, and I used it for years. It was a hand-me down from my dad and sister who are extreme hobbyist and professional, respectively. Mostly I thought, hey, sweet camera, sweet...

My wife's mom and grandma both got new Samsung Galaxy S6's and now they have bad reception in our house. Texts take days to be received and calls are dropped regularly. They were both experiencing this on their old S3's as well so we thought the new phone would help. They have between 0-1...

So I recently purchased 2x Asus PB278Q's. They had the best performance for my budget. I do some photo editing, so I wanted something with good color accuracy. These monitors were pretty good out of the box, and even better once calibrated, so I justified the purchase. I don't have a...

I got a new job that's work from home and I'm getting a $90/mo stipend for a cell phone and plan. Here are my requirements: 1. unlimited minutes (I figure max average 4hr/day * 5day/wk * 4.3wk/mo * 60min/hr = 5160 minutes in a month) 2. enough data for emails and google maps while on the...

I have an MSi Radeon 6870 Hawk (Twin Frozr III). According to MSi's website, I have http://www.msi.com/product/vga/R6870_Hawk.html#hero-overview Mini DisplayPort x 2 Dual-link DVI x 1 Single-link DVI x 1 HDMI x 1 OR, I have Mini DisplayPort x 2 Dual-Link DVI-I x 2 HDMI x 1 I'm looking to...

Hi all - I'm considering building a custom standing desk. It would be nice to have the flexibility to move between standing and sitting whenever I want also. Before I started I wanted to get your feedback to see what those of you think who have one or have considered one at one point. My...

It seems like as the technology improves, there's less need for taking extra measures just for cooling. I mean think about it: 1. Northbridge was removed entirely for intel systems because it's now in the CPU 2. Southbridge rarely needs more than a thin heat spreader 3. RAM doesn't need...

The wife and several of our best friends are hiking Machu Picchu this summer and I'm starting to get my gear in order. Does anyone have any tips for backpacking with a DSLR? I found this article which was interesting. I'm most interested in the monopod hiking pole and the shoulder strap...

Hey guys - my SSD crapped out on me yesterday and I need my PC back up and running before the weekend. Looking to buy in the next day or two and I'm pretty out of the loop. Can you recommend a good deal for a quality 240-256GB drive? What are some things to look for these days?

Hi all - I have a dual boot with Ubuntu on a spinner hard drive and Windows 7 on my SSD. Been using windows for years and I recently took the EdX intro to linux course so I have a dual boot between the two using grub for the bootloader. I installed some Windows updates this morning and when I...

My wife just let the cat out of the bag that my whole family is pitching in to get me a new DSLR due to recently completing a few big life accomplishments. They wanted my input to make sure they got the right thing. I currently have a Canon 20D that's getting pretty long in the tooth. I'm...

I've got an NZXT Switch 810 on my hardwood floor next to my desk right now. I'd like to get it up off of the floor after recently moving it to a horrifying display of dust bunnies underneath it. Also, I thought it would be nice to bring it up to desk level so I have another 8-9 inches of desk...

Do you use cursor acceleration? I ask because recently I've had to turn it on. I strongly prefer no acceleration whatsoever, because I like moving my mouse from one spot to another, then moving back to where I was and have the same spot on my mousepad be the the same spot on my screen every...

This has been happening for the last year or so and it's absolutely infuriating. On my Nexus 5, and on my iPad mini, I can click something, it'll flash like it knows what I'm clicking, and then it won't do anything. It just sits there. Then I click it again and same thing. It usually takes...

Hi y'all - I meeting up with some friends, and I'm the only one with a water cooling setup. I wanted to "wow" everyone with a cool metallic dye in my loop. It hit me that I have some extended family coming over the week before also, and I got to thinking about how long I can use these dyes...

Anybody else experiencing issues with their GPS in google maps? Mine "loses GPS signal" after about 5 minutes... sometimes it comes back, most of the time it doesn't. When it does come back, it's not accurate at all, and it usually misunderstands my location and recalculates. I haven't been...
