    International version is so much cheaper than the US version.  Since you mentioned AUD being currency, I figured US market wasn't what you were after. Basically the same range (a tiny bit wider) but allows you to open up far more for low light exposures and that oh so awesome DOF.

    AUD $200-300 is not much to get a "better" lens unless you can find something decent in the second hand department.  My first suggestion is for you to save up more money and then look for a lens you want.
     
    Now as for choosing a particular lens, you seem to want to do many things and it's not likely that there is one single lens that can do them all.  You can of course buy something like an 18-200mm lens that will cover the focal length range that most photographers use, but such a lens will be a very big compromise on quality and capability.  You need to understand what sort of focal length and f-stop you require to capture a particular scene, which will help you choose a lens.  You can check the links in my signature to get a quick understanding of what lens types are available.

    Arma 3 is amazing (IMO), many custom online game mods so you never get bored and it suit's almost everyone who likes FPS games. Gamemodes range from Deathmatch to DayZ. I have CSGO and Insurgency and I love Arma 3.
    So go for it and you can refund it if you don't like it within 2 hours (Steam)

    its great and doesnt fuck around its VERY much a millitary simulation though it is not fast paced at times it is very slow. But its very damn intense since there is alot of downtime, gun fights are scary and there is little room for error

    That being said you need a beast of a machine to get the most out of it and even then there will be times its FPS tanks its just the way of arma. So a 60fps or nothing mentality need not apply.

    PapaGangster reacted to Squabba in Simple PSU cover / shroud (how-to)   
    Hey guys! I recently made a PSU/hard drive cover/shroud, and I wanted to share it with everyone, as well as tell you how I did it so maybe some of you can make one too. It is actually really simple, and it only cost me around $20 total. This price will differ depending on where you live.
     
    What you will need:
     
    > Sheet of thin metal
     
    > Spray paint for metal surfaces (choose your color scheme)
     
    > Painters tape (choose your sizes/design)
     
    > Ruler
     
    > Sand paper
     
     
    How to:
     
     
    Step 1. Go to your local hardware store and buy all of the materials you need. While you're there, have them bend and cut a sheet of thin metal following the measurements you made. Rub the outer surface of the metal with fine sand paper to help the paint adhere.
     
     

     
     
    Step 2. Clean off the surface of the metal and apply your first layer of paint. The color you choose will later be the contrast color of the completed piece. Spray the paint on very lightly and go slow. Rushing it will only cause your final piece to not turn out as nice. Do about 6 passes then let it dry for 4-5 hours (depending on the outside temperature; hotter air dries it faster.)
     
     
    Step 3. After the first coat it fully dried (I waited a whole night, just let it sit in the house,) check if the paint is see through. You might need to do another coat of that color if it isn't thick enough. If it IS thick enough, and dry, tape off the design you want. You can see mine at the bottom of this post.
     
     
    Step 4. Apply your second coat of paint. This color will be the main color of the piece, unless of course you are doing more than 2 coats, which in that case just repeat step 2. Let this coat completely dry and cure a little bit (about a day) and then peel off the tape. Now you should have a nice clean line around your design, and it will look great if you did it properly!
     
     

     
     
    Step 5. Put the finished shroud in place in your PC. You can use sticky side velco to fasten it, or just place it in there tightly like I did. Now you have a sharp looking shroud to boost the aesthetics of your rig as well as hide any cables or drives.
     
     
    Step 6. Take some nice pictures and post them in this thread!
     
     
    Here is my before and after shots!

    Maybe it's $80 he doesn't have. Or it doesn't fit in his case. Or he hasn't gotten around to it yet. There are a lot of reasons people don't have dream builds. I have my dream build, but that's because I'm financially irresponsible.
