  2. but i have to go to work in 5 hours is that enough time?

     

    I actually saw a video with linus using a fan to dry his waterlogged laptop for 24 hours, and it functioned.

     

    I don't know if 5 hours will do the trick, and certainly dont know if rice will work on an iPhone, due to its inability to open.

    Worth a shot though, good lück

  3. Hey,

     

    Recently I've been spending hours on PCPartPicker, fiddling about with different configurations. After a while, I started getting bored because all I could see was the components, but not what each individual build would look like.

     

    The resulting idea, very simple, was to create a program to pick motherboard, GPU, cooler, etc,... and pull the .jpg image of each component from a database. After each component is picked (and the corresponding image appears), each .jpg would appear at a specific place on the visual display, according to the case picked. This service would provide a good, maybe rough, idea of how each build would look before spending anything. 

     

    Possibly PCPartPicker could use their database of components to make this possible on a larger scale? Is something like this possible? And on a smaller scale-- with maybe 200 motherboards to choose from, 200 GPUs, and say 100 PSUs-- I would think it would be quite straightforward to code with the right background and experience... Select a mobo from a dropdown list, a picture appears: not really rocket science. Although this is a cool concept, I don't know if it would really be worth the effort of not only coding it, but also compiling a database with specific photos of hundreds of parts.

     

    Would anyone else like to see something like this, or is it only me? lol

     

    Thanks,

    Kermit

  4. Are you planning to SLI in the future? That PSU is overkill and you could save a lot of money by getting a different one that will still be very reliable.

    This PC isn't for me, and I have no clue what my friend will want down the road, so to save time and money I'll use the 760w platinum in case he adds another 970

  5. Quick answers please, I need this info fast! thanks

    How many MBs or GBs will 30 mins of iPhone 6 video take up? It will be a continuous video for half an hour, and I have 5.6 GBs free (more than enough), but I was wondering how much space I will be allocating to it.

  6. My mock-up (using my poor photoshop skills). Part list is below: Feel free to make any suggestions!

  7. Hello, sorry if this isn't the cleanest post (on iPhone)

    I'm building a yellow-themed pc for a friend, complete with a 290x Lightning and asrock z87 formula

    I've been looking at similar builds, one actually on LTT forums, and saw AF140 with yellow rings. My build is nearly exact to this one: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/95937-the-lightning-350d-build-update-4314/

    Do you have to plasti-dip the rings or do they sell yellow rings? Thanks

  8. Not bad, better than spending $100 for a new charger. If you want to prevent it and make it look a little neater try getting some adhesive heatshrink over that end it will make the cable stiffer but less prone to ripping or tearing.

     

    I'll definitely look into that, just for aesthetics bc the cable is plenty stiff

     

     

    hey man, as long as it was just the cables that where borked then its all good. 

     

    yup thats all it was. thanks!

    So I found a youtube vid with the same issue that I ran into, grabbed my soldering gun and electrical tape (shrink tubing was a failed attempt).

    Power brick is disassembled, and kinked wires are snipped/stripped.

    Soldering the connections, taping them off to prevent contact and a short.

    I glued the case back together, and it works! It is completely safe, although the final look of it seems sloppy. I am overall happy with this, and if it ever becomes an issue, I won't bother doing this project again.

     

    Thanks to everyone who helped :) YouTube vid:
