  1. A blade would be awesome, my laptop is slowly dying on me :-(
  2. Assuming you mean programming (Hardware and Software Programming): Where I am from (New Zealand) you could just get a normal computer science degree and get a job in that field (Hardware programming) if you want to move into networking you will need to look into going even higher (Honors or Masters). Most people I know coming out of university with a CS or IT degree move into web programming with the emphasis on SAAS as that seems to be the next big craze - RESTful programming and the likes. Assuming you mean actually working with or setting up networks: That normally comes down to the individual company you are with, as they have their own IT teams and their own ways of doing their tasks. Or there are a few companies around that set up networks for companies but that market is very small as companies like to do their own in house stuff. This is just what I know that happen in my country. Please tell me to shut up if I did not understand your question or answered it wrong. :-)
  3. I have a Bachelor's Degree in CS and IT (double major), the first year was never meant to be hard. It is there is set everyone up with the same knowledge and get the fundamentals in place. Everyone comes from different backgrounds and the university can't assume everyone has the same base knowledge. Once you hit the later years, you will see that the content gets better and better. Just keep going, also remember going back to university/college later is life get harder and harder.
  4. I find it a bit sad that there will be content only for Vessel members on CSF. Bit of a bugger.
  5. The speed, once you get an SSD you can't go back to using an HDD.
  6. The mosuepad, it looks stylish and soft :-) Really want to give all the products a go...
  7. Hello, I am looking at getting 2 MSI 980ti's, but the PSU is throwing up some questions. I have read that an 850W *should* be enough, but the 980ti's require 2 8pin connectors each. The G2 comes with 2 6+2 pin connectors, but also with 6+8 pin connectors (From what I gather, it is 2 cables in one wire), if I am going to run these cards in SLI, does that mean that I am going to have to use just the 8 pin part of the 6+8 pin cables? - would that have any issues? Please correct me if my understanding is wrong. Thanks.
  8. Hello, I am looking at getting an Fractal R5 case, 16GB G.Skill Ripjaw (2 x 8GB Sticks) and a Noctua NH-D15 and placing it on a Z170 ASUS Pro Gaming motherboard. I have looked at the documentation and it seems that I should be OK with the clearance for the D15 and the case. But the RAM vs the D15 is where I want conformation that I am doing things correctly. From what I can see, it will be a tight squeeze but should be doable with about 8mm spare clearance from the D15 and the case with the fan raised up to make room for the RAM. Can anyone confirm this. Please and Thanks, Kiwi.
  9. I could go with a different PSU, but HX is good, I have not read up on EVGA PSU's - I will add that to the reading list. Thanks for that advice. Now, what is your opinion about the 750W power supply. Could it handle 2 980ti's?
  10. Ah, I should have mentioned, I might be putting another 980ti in further down the track, that is why the PSU is 750W (From what I have read, that would be enough for 2) Sorry for not adding that to the main post - doing it now.
  11. The motherboard is a cheaper one for the skylake processor :-| Thanks for your opinion! I was thinking i5, but with some games that need more CPU power, would it not be better to have more cores/threads?
