A "life project"

I've always heard the term "life project" but never really understood it until I got my own. You see it all the time, guys talking to friends about a car they are building, and they mention how much they've put into it. I've always just thought it weird; after all, why not just buy a new car instead of sinking a bunch of money into a car that probably won't be used much.   And then I got my computer. And suddenly, my whole perspective on those changed.   Heck, look at my purchases lately! I

Is this a good $1000 Gaming/Editing Build

Is this a good pc? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VTbsGX . Also I will overclock the baseclock to 3.8. Please let me know if you have better builds! Also I want to know if the power supply is enough to power everything? Like the usb 3.0 and 2 usb 2.0. Also there are 5 120mm fans in the case preinstalled.

Watercooling cheap as possible – my thoughts

First off I just want to say: Man this shit is fun, digging through sketchy parts and waiting for them to show up is making me giddy. Some might say I'm wasting money on crap, but its worth it for me, I've been curious for a long time wondering about the quality and performance of these parts, and really I just have to say: Science costs, and if I don't do it then who else will? I've learned a lot with my recent research however, and man this is going to be one hell of a forum post(when its done

Just how private is your smartphone?

Do you think your smartphone is private? Because if you do please stop thinking that.   "But Daring, I can just remove Google apps! That'll make my phone private!"   That'll just keep Google from spying on you, if you own an Android device. In reality, your smartphone (and even dumb phones, to a certain extent) contains records of your text messages, photos, GPS location over the past 24 hours, contacts (including names, addresses, phone numbers and email addresses), call history and maybe

Hard drive config problem

I'm having a problem with my drive configurations. I have SSDs in RAID zero, and I have two storage hard drives in RAID zero. Occasionally, my computer stops recognizing the hard drives in RAID zero, and of course, anything I'm working on that associated with the hard drives fails. I'm unsure of what's wrong. I'm just looking for any advice in what direction to investigate.

The (sort of) Desktop Switch pt. 2

So here we are, I've got a mid-2012 Macbook Pro Retina, a Razer Deathstalker, a Razer Naga 2014, a little amp with some decent speakers, and a new monitor... My monitor of choice? I picked up an LG 24MP57 for $179. I know it isn't the BEST monitor, but it's IPS, decently sized, and not $1000. So how does it all stack up? its nice! I no longer feel like I'm peeking into an apartment peep-hole on a 15" screen and I have a truly desktop experience. Admittedly, I miss the multi-finger gestures of t

Keeps rebooting

After I restored my laptop to its original form when I bought it, my laptop resets and stays like that. It keeps rebooting over and over again to where the dell logo only shows on the screen and restarts again.. Not really sure what's happening but I know I didnt factory reset it where I would have to reinstall windows.. When it reboots the only option its giving me is F2 for setup and F12 for booting options.. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

most amd GPUs

Now before i say one opinion/factish hybrid,i just want to say i have no hate towards amd i am just pointing out one fault that I've noticed in their cards.   AMD graphics cards on paper compared to nvidia's cards sometimes look better but most amd comparison videos i have seen show the amd gpu hitting a 10-15 fps less than the nvidia counterpart, however amd GPUs are cheaper so it's kind of just what you have to spend but for only a slightly higher price you can buy an nvidia counterpart but

My (sort of) Desktop Switch

I've been having thoughts lately of making the switch from full-time laptop user to desktop user.   Over the past 8 years or so I have had two Macbook Pros (15" -> 15" retina, I can give more specifics if you guys really care) as my daily drivers. Now, let me start off by saying that I DO NOT want to turn this into an argument about Mac vs. PC, because that isn't what this is about. Rather, this post is about my thought process as I consider the switch from laptop to desktop. I am out of sc

Apple to finally make a new phone with a bigger battery

The new iPhone, called the 6sb, will be geared toward users that think making these huge phones ridiculously thin instead of putting another battery in it is asinine. (95% of consumers according to market research) Jony Ive, Apple's Chief Design Officer (CDO) noted "Just by making the phone 5mm thicker, we were able to make it actually last all day playing games and browsing the internet on max brightness and still have battery left. Who knew you could sacrifice just a few millimeters and totall

Smartphone addiction can 'Disable' Human Brain Memory

Researchers have warned that we will be more easily forget the information we can get from our cell phones, such as the important numbers of our family, a person's address or even important dates.

My story with PCs.....

Hi, I am Polish immigrant that came to US couple years ago. Back in Poland I use to play only on PCs (Old Laptop). In US everyone of my friends and family are playing on consoles; I had no choice so I bought my first console (PS3). Couple months after that I bought my second console (PS4) but everyday I was thinking about all days when I was PC gamer. 1 year after that I decided to build my PC and come back to old days of PC Gaming. That's why I am here; I plan to spend at least 1,500$ on this p
