Dredge's Achievements

  1. I will definitely look for the lacquer as I had not thought of that. I'll be letting each coat dry for a full 2-3 days before applying the next. Not sure about getting an airbrush unless I can figure out something else to use it for, but I will keep it in mind. Thank you! EDIT: Typos
  2. Hello, I'm starting to plan my build, which I will start in about 2 months following the release of Ryzen. 1 aspect of my build will involve a graphic I will paint on the side of the case. Specifically I'll be printing out and cutting a stencil that I will then use to spray or brush paint on the design. Currently I'm eyeing the Define R5 for it's straight edges and clean look that I love, while the black will also serve for an excellent background to my design. I'm concerned about what paint to use and if the material that the R5 is made from will be suitable for this. Do you guys have any opinions on a better case for this project or a particular type of paint to use?
  3. Ok....at work so it will be half a day before I can test, but I will let you know my results.
  4. Hi, In early January I bought a brand new MSI R9 270x from a physical TigerDirect store. Last night while I was playing FF XIII on max settings @ 1920x1080p and I noticed artificating in the top right corner of my screen. It was a specific rectangle of pixels, about the size of a quarter, that only happened while moving or during fight sequences. Just standing still or in menus would not causing artifacts. I opened up a few other games on max settings @ 1920x1080 (DotA2, Skyrim, Civ:BE, and EU4) and could not recreate the issue in those games. The card has minimal OC done and has been OCed since late January. This was my first high end card, so while many forums said they could boost the clock speeds by 200+, I never went any higher then 100 Mhz. How can I confirm whether this is a game problem, and to turn the settings down, or if my card is going bad, so I can contact MSI? I really appreciate the help. If you need any more information let me know, and I will do my best to provide it from work.
  5. Can you review mouse pads? I'd like to know what the benefits of them are and if they are worth it.
  6. I'm a computer Engineer in my Junior year. Majority of the field is coding, specifically object oriented programming. There's also a great deal of emphasis on logic design, microprocessing, circuits, and electronics. Computer Engineer almost identical, except Computer engineers take an extra year of classes. In fact I'll be getting 2 bachelors because in order to get a CS degree in addition to a CE degree I only need to take 4 extra classes. The extra classes that CE covers focus on hardware and operating system designs, and thus comes the term Software Engineersand Hardware Engineers. Software Engineers are probably 70% of the field and focus on Operating system design...and that doesn't mean just Windows or OSX. That means remote controls, cars, head phones, and more. Operating systems are technically classified as any program that functions directly off of the input of the hardware. On your computer your OS is doing all the intermediary communicating between your keyboard strokes and the memory or the motherboard. In a remote control, you have to program your remote to function based on what TV you use. Even though you don't have a screen and you don't see what's going on, that key combination you enter to designate your TV brand is able to do so because of the operating system on that remote. That's a lame example, but it's the easiest to explain. Hardware Engineers make up the rest of the field and they focus on hardware design. This is the actual architecture of the chips and circuits of the boards. This is why most jobs that call for a hardware engineer can also use an electrical engineer. Every time you hear about Intel reducing the die size down to X nanometers, that's do to hardware and electrical engineers developing a way to fit the same number of circuits into that much smaller of a space. Stack memory for SSD's? That was a hardware engineer who developed that. So if a CE is just a combination of CS and Electrical Engineer why not just specify what you want to work on and get the shorter degree? Because of the intermediary knowledge of both fields, it usually allows us to design things in better practice. For example, when you look at the new Dx12 and how it talks of allowing the CPU to talk more directly with the GPU, thus allowing for higher dropscalls and such. The team that developed it was probably made up of a lot more CE's then previous versions, because they better understood how the hardware works, and how to maximize it. This doesn't mean a CE is a better programmer then a CS or a CE is better hardware designer then an EE, but we are the translators that make it easier for the 2 to understand each other.
  7. I would use the key for my work. I've currently been working on a project recording support videos to present to my boss, and am forced to record with a watermark in the video or at lower resolutions. If I got the membership it would allow me to complete the project in higher quality that I'd like to present my boss with. If the project is done well enough, it would probably be pretty easy to convenience him to pay for the license to use in the future for more videos, as well as streaming our webinars. Thanks and good luck everyone.

  12. Although you have no way to further develop Vessel yourself, here are some problems I have with it that I would like to see resolved. I know you've already addressed several of these in other comments, so please bare with me. Lack of Andriod App Videos seem to be in a lower quality Unable to simply "middle-click" or "right-click" to open a video in another tab. I have to literally open the video, copy the URL, and open a new window to paste it in. No "Following" Menu where I can easily just view a list in ascending order of most recently uploaded videos from channels. No "Playlist" or "Watch Later" feature Just something I would also recommend doing throughout the next year and on in the future, is giveaways for a year of Vessel. Like if you had a different monthly competition every month where the winning got a year of vessel premium, it would make a lot of fans happier...especially the ones where it's a burden to have vessel.

  14. WOW. I really like this case, it's going to be a hard choice between this and the S340. I'll do some more comparing and let you know what I with. Thank you so much for the help.
  15. What about the the 230 or the Carbide SPEC-02? Any bad reports on those or is the 340 just strictly better?
